Because When Parts Get Hot, Really Hot, Things Start To "stick" Together.... Too Hot And There Will Be Metal Transfer, Or Parts Start Welding Themselves Together. In This Case The Belt Rubber Starts To Stick To The Clutch Sheaves, And The Slider Buttons Start Sticking To The Slider Cups Etc... Too Much Heat Is The #1 Killer Of Most Performance.... Look At Engine Egt's For Example, And Why People Monitor That So Closely..... Ideally There Would Be A Clutch Temperature Guage, And A Lot Of Clutching Problems Could Be Solved Quite Easily..... My Rt1000 Would Seem To Loose Power On The 2nd Long Pull, But I Realized I Had To Drop A Tooth(too Much Top End) And The Clutch Suddenly Seemed To Be In Its Operating Band Width. I Then Put In A Dynamo Joes(dalton) Helix And Have Never Had Too Look Back.... I Can Take As Many Pulls On A Hill As I Want Now, And It Doesn't Seem To Fade/loose Power Like It Used To..... Weird, Eh?? Just My 2 Cents, Sorry I Went On For So Long.

That makes sence. Thanks for the example too.
