Need help secondary clutch

[uofm]

Went for the first ride this year. Went about 6 miles, felt something wrong. Looked at the secondary clutch and the buttons were like melted right down to the helix. The buttons were new last year. Rode all winter long with no problems. I went through looking at the clutches and they were in good shape before i left on the trip. What would cause this to do that?

never saw that before ,
where is the spring set 6 and 1

 

[uofm]

spring is 6-1

 

[grumpysanta]

so reason for melt down as the buttons only come in contact near idle ..look for other heat source

Were they Yamaha Buttons?

09 Nytro XTX. Just found out they were not Yamaha buttons. I was told SLP buttons.

The aftermarket buttons are junk. The Yamaha buttons should last many thousands of miles.

I made that mistake before by buying 3 aftermarket buttons at a fraction of the price for one Yamaha button. It turned out one of the aftermarket buttons fell out and when I took it apart they were all loose. So, it ended up costing more in the long run when I should have bought Yamaha ones in the first place.
