M8 clutch weights sticking wearing flat spot into rollers

[Ken Climb]

Went for my first ride and my sled would want to keep going when trying to stop, then would stall out. Noticed that a weight was sticking open and wearing a flat spot into the roller's. Are the roller's replaceable? Why would this happen? My other weight's seem a bit sticky to. F_ck! I miss my Yamaha clutch!

Did you change weights recently? if so, did you get any loctite on the bolt? or is the bolt over-tightened?

Check the set screw on the weight that is stuck. If the set screw is not in the notch it will stick open, had it happen last year.

Has nothing to do with the weights im willing to bet. More then likely the bearings in the rollers crapped the bed. They quit rolling, the weight starts chewing on it, it chews the weight AND the roller, and the cycle gets worse. The spider is replaceable, as far as i know the rollers are still not. I picked up a new primary for my m7 back in the day for 260, new. You can take the primary apart but you do risk cracking the spider. Good luck

I noticed when I recently changed my primary spring that 1 of 3 weights was much stiffer when moving back and forth. I think the only fix is a thinner o-ring or a new bolt. It seems like the threads on the one bolt got cut alittle longer than the others. I did notice more wear on that roller but not enough to replace.
