What do we see here?
deltarider:
Thanks for the advice. Some years ago I have managed to restore grip by using a special file. Alas, now the problem has reoccurred.

Could be there were various models. Mine is PN: 28300-374-000

Just highlights the necessity to to have these pinch bolts properly tightened in the first place to prevent any movement on splines. Not sure if there’s torque settings for these.

Something that's possible to help (this is quite common in moto-X bikes with kickstart used alot) using a black (engineering) allen/socket bolt, plus a washer under the head and grease on the bolt threads. It can let you tighten the kickstart the most possible to clamp it with the teeth available.
They are the strongest bolt and not plated, so will rust and need to be covered in grease after installation. If that bolt can't clamp it, then it's absolutely a new shaft as this will take more torque than any other generally available bolt.
Otherwise known as a high tensile bolt ( or cap head socket set screw!) 😉

This type of bolt.

Yes, I wasn't quite sure how to describe it as deltarider translates to dutch I think, and how that would come out.
Picture to cover it off though.
deltarider:
I have never quite understood the effects of grease in combination with torque.
A sidestep, if you allow me. In my archives I have a socalled riders report, published in Motor, which magazine in the 70s was a weekly (!). Owners had been invited to answer a long list of questions about the experiences they had with the CB500. In those days the CB500 was a miracle of reliability. There were few complants. Typical complaints however were about the plugcaps and - ofcourse - the sweating/leaking of oil at the head. Honda The Netherlands had issued this recommendation: grease the washers with molykote and then torque the nuts down to the original value.
