That’s would be a great and huge improvement if Kawasaki goes that far into fixing and making it right. Not really knowing their history and how they fix problems, I don’t know if Kawasaki will go completely back to the drawing board like you & I would hope. Or do they just fix the clutches coming apart, but not address the ultimate problem with belts breaking and not lasting?

It really depends on what is causing the primary clutch to come apart. If it is a design issue then a new primary is coming which I hope results in a new secondary. Kawi wants to get this right and needs to figure it out before they launch the 2 seat version.
Whatever they come up with hopefully they provide it soon.

I assume the 2 problems (assploding clutches and dead belts) are related.

no. The primary clutch explodes, possibly from bad aluminum casting. The secondary is the belt eating issue.

Maybe I assume wrong, LOL.
I thought it could be caused by misalignment to the secondary on a failing clutch. Oh well.

I am not sure they are related. There is something wrong with the way the secondary works that allows for belt slippage and excessive heat.
