The plates and basket, I got the clutch update covered under warranty since I told my dealer weeks before that i was giving me problems. My clutch squealled from day one and knew it won't last. Now with the clutch update it runs perfect and I drag races every weekend.

Did you get the motoworks basket or did you just get the update kit from Can Am? I ask because from the description you gave it sounds like you broke the ear off the basket and likely some of the friction plates. If you did the Can Am update you are still stuck with a sub-par basket and attachment rivets, both of which are prone to failing. My basket blew up a few weeks ago and it did all the things you just described. Hopefully this is helpful.

na it's a motowork backet with motowork rivet, 9 plate clutch...i 've probably give bad explaination !

The problem is the clutch lever...cause is you start in neutral... give a swing. powershift in 2 you can ride as you ride on a track.... but NO clutch lever. The clutch plate/ basket work as a new...the problem is if i pull the clutch lever...it's hard and nothing happen ...
