Apex Torque Limiter?

everything you said about the belt indicates an alignment issue...and it isnt a regular occurance to go out of alignment....I am starting to believe a broken motor mount or the like..

Behind the secondary on the rear motor mount, there looks like a long very fine crack (smaller than a hair thickenss) and its so small that I cant tell if its a crack or just casting.

Tuesday I am going to try and take a pic and see if the camera will pick it up!
 
my bet is it's a crack...where there's smoke theres fire..If it was me It would drive me nuts...I might get a long wood handle like from a shovel and try to get it in there and lift against the mount ....but I can get crazy over something like this.. :drink:

Ya, Im exactly the same and in my town of only 5000, I am officially known as the sled nut and the guy who fixxes everything.

Anyways, going to be prying soon, but thought id show you guys this pic first.

This pic is of the weird casting looking crack behind the secondary, and when you look down the crack, it doesnt seem to get to the motor mount.

Also, went to my dealer, and he had no idea what was going on, so I am totally stumped here. For a second I was thinking that maybe the tunnel was tweaked, but as it sits in the garage, there is a gap in the heat sheild, which is normal to the non bent side. This means that right now, the motor and sheild are perfectly inline, just like a normal apex.
