Clutch Issue
deltarider:
The -323- one is on mine (CB500K2-ED) and has always worked fine. Never had a problem with the rod either. The CB500 clutch is a bit stiff though.
Seabeowner:
It was a very old design by the time it reached the 500. There is a 22841-202-000 that was on the CB92 from 1959 that looks the same.
How do you know yours is a 323 part? The bulletin is Aug 76. Apart from the limited no (4000?) Euro 500s that had 550 type lower end, I thought all 500s were finished by then.
Bryanj:
Nope Honda carried on making the 500K1 for UK right up until550K3 and 550F came in and there were a few left in crates for a while then
Seamus:
Thanks for the info. The parts I saw were on DS site and listed the earlier part number. The arm piece is an aftermarket part that is made of better materials. Not ideal if the centre is made from the traditional monkey metal. Guess I will just replace the centre piece and if it feels rough, replace the arm section.
