Dragging clutch
Scottvincent:
Thanks for the advice. Nurse Julie, the big washer is shown in the second photograph that I posted. I left it on the shaft.
Scottvincent:
Bryanj, thanks for the offer of the book. I have got the F1 supplement book. The line drawings do not really show any differences (that I can see).
Scottvincent:
Sorry Nurse Julie. Wrong photograph, it is shown on the fourth photograph.
Trigger:
As Hairy as already stated, it doesn't even look like a F1 clutch set up. The friction plates look very dry. Did you soak them in a bucket of oil for 24hrs before fitting ?
Not sure what to suggest with this one. It is not a good idea to dress the basket. I would look for a F1 complete clutch and start again. Were are you located in Norfolk as, i am not far from the Norfolk boarder and would love to see what the problem is up close and personal ;)

Hi Trigger. Firstly, thank you very much for the offer of looking at the bike. I live on the coast just east of Cromer, not far in a straight line from Horncastle but a little further when you factor in the Wash! However, my wife is having to shield at the moment and so visits are off limits for the foreseeable future. The summer may be a different matter if I cannot get this sorted.
When I fitted the new plates, I believe that I did soak them in oil. They have sat for about 9 months unused and so may have dried out in the bike? I’m going to remove the basket from the bike and check fit and movement of the plates in detail. I will re-soak and refit.
The Honda F/F1 parts book shows the option of either having plain plates or 5 plates and the composite plate. DS and CSMNL both show their replacement clutch packs for the F1 as having the ‘swirl’ pattern as opposed to the puck pattern. I don’t know if this is relevant to my problem
Looking at the line drawings in the parts book, the clutch shown appears to be the same as mine. What differences have you observed?
Lastly I greatly appreciate the help from the forum, the bike is too good to be abandoned!
