Clutch basket rivets loose?
My bike is in with JJ (recommended bike builder in Sgp - PM me for more info). I asked him - amoungst other things - to put a new set of clutch disks in. He showed me the clutch basket today - there is slop between the alloy basket and steel drive gear/back plate. The two are held together with four rivets - I think the rivets are 'wearing' under my continual clutch abuse. He's recommending a new clutch basket but I'd rather just have the basket/steel gear re-riveted. Has anyone done this before?

tw200sgp or Ronnydog, I took my clutch apart and found slop in my clutch basket as well. I tried hammering the rivets and it did eliminate the rotational slop, but there is still some slop that allows the primary driven gear to move back and forth. Is the whole assembly intended to be solid with no movement, or is there supposed to be some slop to allow things to mesh? The gear is sandwiched in between the clutch basket and a sheet metal backing plate, is this to allow a little movement? Any experience in this area??
There is a little play in them but the rivets should be tight. When you bolt it back in the play will be gone.
