CB500/550 / Starter clutch« on: December 03, 2019, 04:45:22 PM »
Just replaced my starter clutch mech.
As you can see.the springs were knackered. And so the plunges. Parts obtained from the US. Price almost doubled by Parcel Force surcharges. It can be replaced engine in frame. With careful work. BTW. The rubbers in the drive damper were also shot Sent from my SM-A750FN using Tapatalk 22
