Fusion 700 with sticking clutch.

I bought my Fusion 700 brand new last summer knowing exactly what I was getting into, and the background knowledge to make it work awesome.

It worked awesome for the first season, I put on 600 trouble free miles, pull the rope and go. Did the SLP airbox, Heat elimination vent kits in both sides, and put an MBRP can on it to cool everything down right from 0 miles. The clutching I left stock for the first 100 miles, then put 10-74 weight and black/white polaris spring in the primary. I just added the 719 Team helix at 645 miles and saw a lot of improvements, way over triple digits in 1000 ft.

It just rolled over at 808 miles this past weekend and the primary clutch is now staying engaged even after the engine idles down, and stalling the engine if I hit the brake to stop it form moving.

What is causing it to stay engaged? How can I fix it? and how can I prevent it form happening?

Check for a broken spring.
Sometimes a bushing will work its way loose.
And last but not least check the weights and rollers for binding

Pulled the clutch apart, found that the bushing had pushed itself out and was preventing the halts from moving in and out. Once I got the cover off instead of the top half dropping down like it is supposed to, it didn't move at all. I had to push really hard to get it to move at all. It is all back together after removing some of the oxidized aluminum so that the bushing could go back into the proper place.

Seems to be functioning normally again, but I haven't driven it much, just out of the shop and into the shed.
