Does a flat spot mean the belt will break?
Told I have "bad flat spot"
Want to ride this weekend before bringing it in
Can this cause
1) Damage to clutches or drive shaft
2) Belt will likely break?

Change the belt. The flat spot will cause a vibration and will eventually heat up and fail. When a belt fails there is always a chance that the clutches could get damaged.
