Hi There
Got a bit of a problem when rebuilding the clutch on my 750sohc. Bought the bike in bits and when building the clutch up cannot understand my parts list components. I have fit the outer clutch drum first then it says there is a circlip and the splined washer(outer) next, but when I got a new circlip it dosnt seem to retain anywhere on the shaft or casing and when I fit the splined washer on the shaft, the splines on the shaft dont go full lenght(last 1/4ins or so is just a plain shaft so the washer just floats about at the back of the shaft. What can you experts tell me?
Cheers Flamethrower

Bryanj:
Need to know exact model as parts/build up varies

flamethrower:
The engine is a k4
But perhaps it has a later clutch assembly?
If so will it fit and can I omit the splined washer and circlip?

K2-K6:
I've got a F2 / K7 Honda workshop manual and it describes to install the clutch as you say in the first part of your post so you may have different parts and / or instructions that don't match.

I can't remember what earlier clutches were like and don't have those manuals available right now.

Hmmmm.  Not sure about a circlip . . .

Does this help?



First thing on the mainshaft is the clutch outer/basket.  Then a spacer goes in (the only thing with a splined inner other than the clutch basket/inner), followed by the plates and the inner.  Next onto the mainshaft is the thrust washer with 'OUTER' stamped on it, followed by the splined washer (splines on the outside) and that lot is held in with a castellated nut.  Maybe I'm looking at the wrong set up, but I can't see a circlip anywhere there . . .  

You're sure it's a 750 clutch you've got?  I ask 'cos a lot of the smaller capacity bikes use circlips in the clutch setup . . . 

Hope that helps.
