I was out riding the other day, and I was going through some powder and lost power, it would just bog down. Well I popped the hood and pulled the clutch cover and found my secondary clutch was sprung open and stuck. My buddies and I lifted up the back end and spun the track a little bit and the clutch snapped back to its normal position.

My question is, what would cause the clutch to stick? Something rusted and bound up a little until we unlodged it? Is there a overhaul kit I can purchase for it? I have never had one apart before. If I pull it apart, whats the best stuff to lube the parts up with?

You should only use dry slide or comet clutch lube. They are not meant to be lubricated as you don't want lubricant getting on the belt.
Yamaha has a rebuild kit, ask your local dealer or an on line dealer.
I believe the spring is included in the kit, if not you need that as well.
 
The secondary has a brass bushing on one half of the seive that rides on the shaft on the other half. This brass bushing has grouves and a center area that hold grease, that is it no other grease except for splines on jack shaft. There is a large bushing, either brass or durlon, that rides on the helix and there are three plastic buttons that ride on the helix. Buttons wear out as does the large bushing hopefully these are your problem.
 
Take the belt off and squeeze the sheaves together a few times to check for play. If there is a lot of slop, the sliding sheave bushing needs to be replaced. A worn sheave bushing will allow the sheave to turn sideways and bind. If you end up taking the secondary apart, make sure you get a new snap-ring. My V-max manual says to always replace the snap-ring. Of course I ignored this rule! It was not pretty when the snap-ring let loose!!!!!
 
So from this pic, which pieces (numbers) will I need to get?

Let me look in the garage tonight. I might still have a complete phazer secondary sitting on the shelf. It's got new buttons and spring in it. Might be cheaper/less time consuming than rebuilding yours.
 
Where you got the picture, scroll down to the list of parts. It says "numbers marked with * are included in kit" I couldn't find the * though. It seams to be the Buttons, spring and snap ring are the only wear parts you can replace without buying a whole new clutch.
