Welcome to the wonderful world of clutching! I was where you're at right now about 2 weeks ago after I fried 2 belts in one ride and my primary was nuclear hot. I have been doing a lot of questioning, searching, and reading on this forum and others. Another very helpful forum has been dootalk.com From what I've learned, you're gonna need to clean your clutches, seriously think about getting a Dynamo Joe clutch kit soon, make sure your belts are the right size (width-wise - >1.45 inches) and make sure your clutches are aligned.
Here are some good sites for you:

Hey thanks. and well i got 2 problems from the sound. the powder was deep and i have holes in my side pannel and there was a little snow in there. guess the screen i got isnt doing the job. and when i looked at it, there was bad rub marks on the engine side of the primary and the opposite side didnt have a mark. so thats telling me i need to shim my secondary out a tad
I had to shim my secondary out 5/8" to get it lined up. It was leaving the marks and was pulling the cord out of the side of the belt.
well the weird thing with mine was the cords were coming out on the pannel side but it was rubbing on the engine side. weird?
Well it just went to the dealer to check alignment so guess ill know now!
Found my clutches were slightly out of alignment, but the big deal i over looked was the rubber deal that keeps the motor from over torqing was shot. So everytime i hammered on it, the motor torqued a lot and pushed it way out of alignment

for those of us that are still learning, what exactly is this "rubber deal" that you're talking about? Can anybody enlighten me?
the "rubber deal" is #14 in the attached picture. it is the engine torque stopper

its called a tourque stopper. and look between your primary and secondary right behind the left side cylinder. its an orangish color
Pictures not prime but you should get the idea. the orange stopper.
