I am having a issue with my clutch that I can quite figure out. It feels as if it "slips". I haven't quite nailed down when exactly it does it, but it does it fairly often, plus the RPMs don't stay steady if I keep the gas pedal in the same position. From what I read it sounds like the spider or spider nut has backed off. I have taken pictures of the spider/spider nut, can you tell me if it seems like it has backed off? I also bought a new belt because I thought it might be that, but before I put on the new belt I want to confirm that my clutches are in good shape.

You should have 1 to 1.5 threads showing on top of the nut that's how both of my primary's are
That spider nut actually looks correct. Your weights are toast though. I can see the groove worn in the tip from the roller in the spider. That's bad. That also means your rollers are probably worn and possibly flat spotted. From what I see, you need at least a new primary and weights. You should verify the rollers on your secondary and make sure they don't have flat spots and that the roller surface isn't worn there also. From your pics, it tells me you spend a lot of time at high speed. How many miles on this clutch?
Did you replace all 4 rollers in the secondary with the HW ones, or just the outers? If you replaced all 4, check the ones inside. They are probably egged out and causing your issues.
Im pretty sure we talked yesterday, the spider nut might be backed off a touch it is not obvious though
The comment on the flyweights is spot on though
Don't remember you telling me about the heel clicker kick

With 3k, you definitely want to put a new primary on it. You should be good on the secondary as long as its not flat spotting the rollers. In my opinion, get the heelclicker setup out of there. Although there are other clutch kits out there, start with Todd since it sounds like your already talking to him and he'll have the information your most likely looking for.

Sorry a bit of a rookie. Can you tell me exactly what you are looking at or show another photo that shows this same wear. Thanks

After talking to Todd it sounds like my clutch was worn out and rather than spending the time to further troubleshoot I opted to just buy a new primary, secondary, and Dalton clutch kit. This was buy far the best decision. Now that I have it installed I have 0 belt slip or clutch issues. Still working on dialing in the Dalton clutch, but it is all good so far. Thanks to all here and especially Todd.
