Shearing Studs on the Inner Hub

from the looks, you successfully installed and ran that motor before sheering. once installed properly and adjusted, there actually should not be a load on those studs, well not tortional, just the spring pressure. the load of the hub/plate is through the mating splines. find out why you are not carying the load ther, like mis-alligned. you can actually put them on wrong. one way will mate, and the next bolt hole over will not line up on the splines. if the splines are trashed, it might let it sip up on the studs, but i have yet to see that. if the clutch is adjusted even near to correctly/useable range it shouldn't let it extend far enough to be an issue. you only have the stock 7-plate setup, right?

Yea, I was riding it gently and this happened when I let the clutch out to accelerate after a turn. Also I would like to add in that my ring gear on my basket is loose. Almost like the cusions are completely shot. Could that have anything to do with it? I havnt yet bought a new clutch kit yet and before I do I would like to know why this is happening, hopefully the collective know how of bhq can help. This is the second time this has happend. First time was trying to move up a hill after I stalled it because I had to slam on the brakes while climbing. Some guy came took the corner at the top to go down and didnt hear me hauling ass up the hill.

If not, the clutch would be fully engaged all the time. The bike wouldn't even move.

Yea, you're right. I thought of that later,sure think it must of spun. I'd be interestd in what has caused this, I've burped those bolts down with a 3/8 impact countless times and never broke one.

Is there a possible way that the pressure plate could spin free from the hub? Thats the only thing i can think of that would shear the studs like that. Maybe the pressure plate wasnt in the grooves on the inner hub? This doesnt seem to be a problem that happens often. Another thing I thought of was maybe I didnt put the 6 bolts in far enough and they caught on the cover?
