I'm sure you can get it to work fine. If you want a cheaper route, maybe switch to Yamaha clutches. I have a killer setup for the 129s that gets better belt life than a stock apex.

That cracking is all too common with Team clutches. It's caused by rapid heat buildup at low belt engagement (heat checking). It's also potentially very dangerous because eventually the primary will fly apart. I have documented cases of injury due to primary fragmentation and explosion. It's a design defect - clutch is too thin down there. There is a class-action lawsuit going against Arctic Cat on this. I've attached the Arctic Cat recall on this issue. If you bring your cracked clutch to your dealer with a copy of this, they should replace it. Unfortunately, they will replace it with another Team clutch that will eventually crack. I heard recently that there is a new version of this Team clutch that supposedly has had this defect addressed. One thing you can do to help prevent this heat cracking is to think about keeping the sled moving (don't stop allot). The heat comes from belt engagement so the less you stop and start, the less heat there is in the clutch face.
Without modifications, I don't think you'd be able to use a stock Team secondary with a Tapp primary. Your Team secondary has "auto-adjust" for belt height. Belt tension at idle is pretty high because the matching Team primaries have a center roller bearing so at idle the bearing just spins as the engine turns. I think if you tried to use a Team secondary with a Tapp, the belt tension would be so high at idle there would be a ton of heat and it would literally pull the engine idle speed down. Remember the stock Team secondary is a compression style clutch.
I think to make it work, you'd have to play around with longer belts and/or do a torsion conversion on the secondary.
