Title: CB500/550 clutch shims
Post by: Oddjob on August 24, 2022, 09:25:34 PM
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.

Post by: Oddjob on September 01, 2022, 01:04:15 PM
I have payments and addresses now for 7 sets and Nigel is organising something else. I have Bryan, Roo, Mick, Simon, John and already sent Phil from Scunny and Phil from Wigan. I think that leaves just 3scs.

For information only, Friends and Family is a selection you make just after you chose who you're sending money too and how much, address can be added in the notes for seller section on the last page IIRC, just before you press send.

They are now all sold, even my set was sold to a friend.

However if anyone else is desperate I can get some more, don't really want to but I'd sooner do that than let someone down.

I am not and have never lived in ‘scunny’. I’m from the right side of the tracks in York, North Yorkshire 😀

I did however once spend 5 nights in Scunthorpe hospital post motorcycle/car ‘incident’. My neurosurgeon called me to ask how I was. The ‘on call’ A&E Junior houseman had called him to enquire about the instrumented fusion appearing on my X-ray(C5/C6) I’d collected in 2000. Satisfied his fine work had not been impaired, he enquired as to my whereabouts. On revealing my location as being Scunthorpe Hospital he wished me “…the very best of luck’ in such a way as to suggest I might be at risk in their care!!

Yes that's my envelope Roo.

WTF has happened to that?

That's got to be deliberate.

When I get some more I'll replace them for you.

I do have some 0.1 and one 0.5 shims.
Title: Re: CB500/550 clutch shims
Post by: Oddjob on September 06, 2022, 01:20:14 PM
Just thought, maybe they ripped it open due to the smell coming from it (re my previous post  ;D ;D )

Seriously, just ordered enough shims for 10 more sets, I'll make a new set for you Roo as soon as they arrive.

Just to confirm, Bryan, 2 x Phil, John, 3scs, Mick, Simon have all confirmed arrival. Roo's went missing so that's 8. I sent 10 and the other has confirmed arrival so that just leaves Nigel I think, did they arrive Nigel? just so I know.

I'll post when they are done, only just ordered them so it will be a few days before they arrive and then it's a long fiddly job to modify them to fit, so probably by the the weekend I'll have them finished.

Meant to check out my spare engines (have a 500 and a 550) for these but kept forgetting, then went on holiday and forgot again!
Found I have used all the shims up on the bikes I have going now, so would also appreciate a set if/when they are available. Hope I'm not to late (again)!!

No Erny still got around 5 sets left.

Got round to altering the shims today, did the 0.5 shims which are the hardest to do, will finish the others off tomorrow.

I think this is my last lot, altering them is hard work tbh, it’s one job even my legendary patience gives up on.
Title: Re: CB500/550 clutch shims
Post by: Oddjob on September 16, 2022, 02:53:04 PM
Shims are now done, all bagged up and ready to be sent.

If I do any more I'm bunging them on Ebay at £20 a set. The effort required doesn't justify the amount I make on these.

PM me for PayPal address and include your postal address if you want some. Erny, I'd need to see how much extra it would be to send to the EU, hope that's ok. Shouldn't be too much more I reckon.

Another senior moment... well several.
Haven't used paypal for a while and spent an hour working out the pw. Then I find that the only account linked to it I closed six months ago. So have to register new debit card at least I suppose. I'll work it out.
Less work than you have done in getting these done I'm sure, so it's much appreciated.

£12 inc P&P. That's for a set of shims, all you'll most likely ever need.

The set consists of 2 x 0.1mm, 1 x 0.2mm and 1 x 0.5mm.
