Quote from DS

It was probably caused by the broken flyweight. This caused the clutch to jam and burned out the clutch shoe. The shoe couldn't disengage so it burned out.
The broken flyweight is a thing that can happen, it happens a lot with the Xray clutch. Mostly because of the hard springs we run these days with the high powered engines. If you want this not to happen you should make all the clutch parts bigger, but this is something which isn't desirable because of the weight.
