Belt.issues

My arctic cat xr 500 seems to be slipping when in high range. Belt is new. Low range is fine. Reverse is fine. Takes alot of rpm to move in hi. Once moving everything is fine. Any ideas?

Dirty glazed primary and secondary clutch, wrong oil in engine (not wet clutch safe), New belt was not washed before installation to get the oils out of it... Few things to start with

Well after a good cleaning inside the belt housing, nothing has changed. Hi range take plenty of rpm to get the machine moving. Low range and reverse r fine. Anybody have any other ideas let me know.
