sounds like you need a new driven plate, and a bearing on which the basket spins on, i never had this problem before u know last may dirtrider had a report on all motocross bikes and they're preoblems and what to watch out for, the 97-99 rm250's have bad clutch problems, they asre known to break plates,the clutch baskets can shatter, and the pressure plates can have major wear on them, i would say that you would have to buy a new pressure plate and bearing and maybe even plates
