ran my sled last night at uphill drags, ran first run worked good, second run ran against a 350 hp Nitro with 50 shot of nitrous ...and supercharged 220 hp nitro..came out hard sled only pulled 7200 rpm at 3/4 track came 2nd lost by 30 ft , came down hill sled was bucking ,stopped and primary was stuck in on belt ,would not release...pulled out from king of hill . not impressed .tried everything to get it to work .took for small run and came free. did not trust to run again. looks like clutch bolt was hooking the bearing on outer clutch cover on about 25 percent ..
what can i do to prevent this ...I had thunder product 911 kit on my m8 any one running on m1100t..

We've seen what looks like brake dust locking up the primary clutch sliding half bushing (not belt dust). Blowing the clutch out with air every ride or two and she won''t ever lock up again.

I had mine stick too. Some of the clutches were built with too tight of tolerances. They replaced mine under warranty. No issues since.
