Another clutch ?
flatfour:
I fitted 450 clutch plates to my 500/4 some years ago as I was told that it would reduce pressure at the lever, which it did. They were bought from DS and have proven to be very satisfactory.

Also in mine are CB450 plates, bought in Singapore when I was there.
s7paul:
I've tried all kinds of things to improve mine (new cable, cleaned and re-greased the lifter mechanism, CB450 clutch plates) and it's still like an on/off switch. The only way to pull away smoothly is by giving it more revs and slipping the clutch. It's definitely worse than my original 500 (back in 1979) but I can't figure out why.

Might try the 450 plates. Is there a particular model year/part number I need?

This is all I have on it Paul (same as Bryan mentioned). CB77 finished in 1968 so there is a clue to the springs. Will check 450 plates tonight.
I guess a Doctor must have done those scriblings ;D ;D ;D
