Would a BAD Spring be the cause of this on Secondary Sheave?

Brothers 2001 SRX 700 Triple

Notice a grinding sound getting the sled prepared for this season. Popped the hood and looked over his clutches. Noticed 2 Screws getting chewed up from his secondary. Haven't done much work on clutches before just do a lot of reading on TY. Anyone know what's the cause? I'm putting my money on spring.

Looking straight down behind the secondary.

Might want to open up the chaincase. Those bearing housing bolts are in backwards too.

The bearing housing bolts are backwards! These are the bolts that are getting hit as his secondary engages. Thanks a ton Danny.

Can you believe I just had his entire exhaust pulled to rewind his re-coil and just finished up placing back the whole set up. Wish I would have waited to put the pipes back

I will tear that back down tomorrow, what should I be doing inside the chaincase?

Thanks man !!!

I was concerned that the shaft somehow shifted to the chaincase side. I take it that the secondary bearing was replaced?
