Advisable for new on kicstart shaft inside cases
Oddjob:
No, I meant you can buy cheaper alternatives Dom, not reuse old ones. The ones on the gearbox shafts are special so need to be Honda ones, the rest of them should be ok to use copies. I'd certainly use a new one on the clutch basket for instance and on the kickstart shaft if removed. When you go to replace the primary damper rubbers you'll think you need to remove the 3 screws but IIRC it's just the circlip you need to remove to split it in half. Don't remove the screws unless you have to. Far too many fall out again afterwards.

Interesting you should say that Ken, I thought they needed removing too (they dont) so set about taking them out with a JIS screwdriver, they were already loose but the staking prevented them from fully undoing by themselves. I'll be making sure they are tight and staked when I put it all together.
The dampers when removed were pretty hard.

When you fit the new rubbers you may think it's not going to go back together. A little silicon oil on them works wonders.

Oh that's good then, there was a very small amount of play in it
