paulbaker1954:
Are the friction plates the Sam for K0/1/2/3 etc

I read somewhere Honda did some clutch mods at some point to overcome clutch slippage issues

JamesH:
Trigger or Bryan will know I'm sure....

The clutch on the 500K0 had a clutch ring like the second generation 750K0 clutch..The 500K0 changed after number 1018727 to a up graded clutch on all the plates.

Bryanj:
There was a none honda mod using different plates hand written in on old US parts book saying use 450 plates and late cb77 springs but no part numbers are given. I do know that the originals had slanted grooves on the friction plate and you have to fit them the correct way round

deltarider:
If you are curious about the clutch modifications you may consult the various CB500 parts list here: http://www.honda4fun.com/materiale-documentazione-tecnica/parts-list/parts-list-cb500 but I doubt the pictures are Always accurate as far as the grooves.
I believe the clutch plates with slanted grooves were not much of a success.
