I agree with this. Sounds like a simple clutch adjustment. Good thing is you have a belt drive so it is easy to do. I noticed with my BDL primary that it was VERY VERY sensitive to clutch adjustment. I had to make very small adjustments to find the sweet spot to make everything right. Of course my previous belt drive was not as sensitive.

I'd re-adjust the clutch as well. Hope you get it straightened out, it looks killer.
