The rubber dampners in the clutch wear out and let the basket rotate a bit on the gear. Eventually the movement breaks the rivets like yours did.
We just had the same problem but ours hasn't snapped yet it just made a knocking sound, almost like a rod knock sound.

well maybe you got 18Hp on a clutch which suppose to survive 10...??

It's really missing a good solution for that problem ...somebody has to speak with Hinson

xr/crf70 rubbers drop right in... but that isn't really a complete clutch fix.

i have gpx 125 with high comp piston, ported head and IRK dont sound like 18 hp(unfortunately)

.
CJsDad mine clutch made same noise when i was riding on higher gear and low revs it started to click or something like that. and after ride i could smell burning rubber.
