Re: exploding primary clutch
Does it have a stock clutch (with grease fitting & 3 round rollers), or Comet clutch (with a bunch of black plastic weights & no grease fitting)? If its the stock clutch & the weights are flying past the rollers, it usually just needs new rollers & bushings. But it could be worn to the point that it will eat the new rollers. Look for a bunch of wear where shown (this clutch is pretty much garbage).

Re: exploding primary clutch
Ok, i guess we can safely say that one is not a good clutch for rebuild
 . Im glad i wasnt sitting on that seat when that happened (having had a comet spit out all its weights on me). Im betting that the sliding sheave was just worn too thin. New front clutch, and have a good look for bad wear on the rear clutch too. New belt also. |

Re: exploding primary clutch
It is very uncommon. Its a byproduct of extreme wear or incorrect assembly.

Regular preventative maintenance most likely would have caught this before the damage. |
