Wondering what if any secondary clutch will work for my 17 rtx, I have 1 bent sheave
I believe some people have used Late model Nytro button type secondaries on their SWs.

How did the sheave bend? Are you sure its bent and not a bad movable bushing or something of the sort?
I'd stick with the stock secondary clutch myself, otherwise a Viper secondary clutch also works almost as well too, you'll have a slower back shift and need to add 10 more helix angle as its small diameter and a button and not a roller design. Also will need something like a Yamaha white spring or something of the sort. Got to be careful there as some springs in the Viper secondary will coil bind on it easier than in the Winder secondary.
Myself, I'd shy away from a STM secondary. Clutchmaster had one start cracking on the webbing in just 3500 miles and scrapped it.
As KnappAttak has stated...if able stick with a SW roller secondary. I have a huge selection of Secondaries I could run on my SW and I definitely prefer the OEM SW roller secondary. I like the OEM secondary so much I have put a couple of them in my parts inventory if needed in the future and sorry none of my spare parts are for sale.
If you need to use a different Yamaha secondary on your SW I highly recommend the Hauck roller conversion as I have had great success using their roller conversion on my Apex.
