Was looking over my neighbors Sidewinder and found grooves on the primary clutch faces. Outer side is not as noticable/deep as the engine side.
Is this something to be concerned about? Alignment issues? Sled runs well.

Are you sure they are grooves, that would take allot of miles slipping the belt badly at speed. Looks like belt marking. Clean with acetone and a fine ScotchBrite pad. You will usually see grooves down low on the sheaves from belt slippage on take off with a hard compound belt.
 
Looks like those clutches need some maintenance and dialing in.
