Hi everyone, I'm new to the site. I have a 15 Viper MTX and was wondering if anyone has ever had there primary and secondary clutch faces severely pitted ? The pits are jagged, like hit with a chisel. I don't recall hearing a strange noise. I took off the clutches and nothing is missing or broken. I'm stumped as to what could of happened

Look for missing hardware above belt guard.
I have a Polaris in my shop where the the upper jack shaft bearing failed and the shrapnel got into both clutch's

Thanks, I'll take another look.Look for missing hardware above belt guard.

Blowing a belt at speed can do this. Buddy blew a belt at 100mph and both clutches were severely gouged

I had a bolt in the middle belt guard on the inside fall out and ruined both clutches on me.
