82 YZ250 CLUTCH BASKET

[Cappy]

Hello,

Does anyone know if the YZ250J clutch basket has rubber cushions between it and the gear? I have little slop in the gear and basket and I would like to tighten it up a bit. My buddy at work thinks I should drill out two rivets 180 degrees apart and tap thru for two M8 low head cap screws? Can anyone advise me here.

The clutch was originally grabbing pretty bad. I suspect it was mainly due to the looseness between the gear and basket and the grooves in the basket fingers. I have lightly stoned off the grooves and they don't look too bad. This is basically a play bike for weekend trail riding.

I have already ordered new steel clutch plates, friction, and springs from Barnett.

Thanks in advance,
Greg.
