CB500/550 clutch shims

[Oddjob]

I've managed to source some shims in order to shim the clutch basket out so it has very little play.

The genuine Honda shims, 90458-323-010, 90459-323-010 and 90460-323-010 are 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 respectively. They are hard to find and when you do find them they tend to be expense for what they are. The cheapest 0.1mm shim is currently £23.80, a 0.3mm is £23.64 and a 0.5mm is £20.19

The problem is you don't know exactly how many you're going to need, it could be one 0.1 or 2 x 0.1 or 1 x 0.3 etc.

So I've decided to sell them in a set, mine are 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5. So almost the same. If the set consists of 2 x 0.1, 1 x 0.2 and 1 x 0.5mm then you have enough to shim out to 0.9mm and if you've got that much play you've got bigger problems than a lack of shims.

Mine are also stainless steel so unlike the genuine Honda shims they won't rust sitting in a box if you find you don't need them all.

I have to alter these shims when they arrive because the are not the right size, the inside is fine but the outside is too large to fit inside the inner clutch basket, the alteration is not easy TBH and after doing these I doubt I'll do any more. Hence the price for a set is £12 inc P&P.

I have 10 sets ONLY. Any that don't sell will go on Ebay for £15.

First come, first served. Don't PM me, if you want any post here.


Oh and in case you're wondering where they go, they go behind the circlip that holds the inner basket in place. Fit a circlip and see how much the basket slides out along the shaft, if it does you need to shim that movement out. Standard clearance is 0.1mm so if you can feel any more than a midges then you need to shim it. It helps with clutch play and action when it done and also quietens down the clutch on tick over. That's why the noise goes when you pull the clutch in, it's this gap you've eliminated by pulling in the clutch.
