If you have a compressor use it to blow out the clutches, you might be shocked how much black is there from the belt.

Is it the stock OEM belt or a aftermarket on your 500?

As clutches run a little they loosen up when warm,open up and usually stops creeping. Blow out belt dust from both clutches, and primary clutch probably needs the fiber washer replaced if worn plus has a brass washer under the front cap (before the one way bearing) that the belt rides on that wears and sticks. You have to have the spider tool to work on the front clutch or let a shop do it. OPT
