Clutch Issue
Seamus:
Thanks again. Silly, but hadd not even considered using a Honda dealer.
Must be getting senile
Bryanj:
Doesnt always work but if its still available usually similar prce to ds and no postage
Seamus:
Found a new old stock one on ebay. Awaiting delivery. Will check the other things when I have the cover off to change the cable.
Thanks again for the advice
Seamus:
Well, finally took it apart. Cable routing was fine, cable itself was not particularly bad. The stationary part of the clutch mechanism had a piece missing above the threaded area, so that is to be replaced.
Does the arm itself wear? Thinking of replacing both parts while it is apart, but the extra 70 or so quid had to be factored in. May just bite the bullet and do both.
Seabeowner:
This is a 500 right? The clutch as standard was always on the heavy side and of course completely changed for the 550.
There was a service bulletin -09 on these parts. Available in Aladdin's cave. The original adjuster was 22841-266-000 (which was a hangover from smaller bikes and the CB450) was superseded by 22841-323-000 which was supposed to reduce friction and reduce wear. Anyone know if it worked? CMS and DSS only list the earlier p/n. The 323 version is very rare and I do not know how to tell them apart.
