I found this on HCS posted by KROM who also hangs out here some I think.

Many people are using the wrong bar to align their clutches

Arctic Cat is saying to use the 1.507 bar

I think the 1.507 bar is the bar that we should be using on all our 07-10 sleds and here is why.

in 04-05 the zr900,m-series&firecats had 8.5 inch primary clutches with 10 secondary clutches and they called for the 0644-427 1.655 bar

In 06 the firecats/zr900's went to a 8.25 primary and a 10.4 secondary and they call for the 0644-496 1.507 bar

In 06 the crossfire/m-series had 8.25 primarys but still used the 10" secondary so the 0644-427 1.65 bar was still recommended.

But from 07-10 the primary and secondary's are the same sizes as the 06 Firecats/zr900 so why would we still want to use a bar disigned for differant size clutches.

The chassis has not bearing on proper operation of clutches and there need for correct offset.
I have to believe Arctic Cat has been trying to address bely failure issues and they now recommend the 1.507 bar for all the 2010 models. And since my clutches are the same as a 2010 models I have to believe the best choice would be the 1.507 bar.

I purchased an alignment tool from speedwerx for my M sled and it is the 1.507 offset. They also list the same offset for the 10" secondary models like the M7's. I've been using this tool and still going through belts. I glazed one terribly this last weekend in only 30 miles. I havent blown too many belts, just smoked them. Clutck set up seems right. Any one have any suggestions?
