M8 turbo clutch sticking/slipping

[finney2003]

The other day I was out riding my 2010 m8 with a boondocker turbo. It would occasionally hit a spot where the belt would slip. Something to do with the primary or secondary clutch. My 2011 m8 will also do this occasionally. Any ideas what causes it?

Can you post a pic of the clutch? What rpms does is act up?

I didn’t get the chance to check rpms, I was more focused on getting to the road. It was actually the first ride on the sled for me. I bought it Thursday with a ripped track, I replaced the track and was riding it the next day when the clutch started acting up. I had blown a belt but I took the clutch off when I got home and it looked to be in working order

I would guess the secondary or primary are sticking or binding. I recommend to take both clutches apart and clean them. Reassemble on the bench, without the springs. Work the clutches open and closed and you should see the problem.
Check back with what you found and others can benefit from your clutching adventure!
