    Number of Plates and Disks

    Hi! Just opened up the clutch on my K5 to find 7 friction disks and 5 plates. I’m guessing, becuses I don’t seem to be able to find anything anywhere, that there should be 1 less plate than disk. So the question is, has someone been in there before me and left out a plate OR put in an extra...

    Gear shift gets stuck intermittingly on downshifting, why???

    So my gear shift likes to "hang up" or gets stuck when down shifting, mainly from 2nd to 1st. It's very intermittent. So, as if I'm in 2nd, I try to down shift and it doesn't want to go in 1st, if anything, it wants to go down to neutral, if you try again, doesn't want to go into 1st. Almost...

    Slipping clutch...Replace as a amateur or pay to have it done?

    So I have a 1978 cb750k and I notice the clutch doesn't fully engage ( is what it feels like), and when I shift it, I have to almost kick it into gear because if I just lift normally it just grinds. This seems like a clutch issue to me and I saw that the friction plate kits are not crazy...

    How to make your own clutch lock nut wrench (and save $200)

    I am rebuilding the engine of a 1992 CB750 and came across an odd lock nut when I got to the clutch. It's not a hex nut, it's round with four slots (see photo below). You can only remove it with a special 4-pin socket (OEM part number: 07716-0020203) that Honda is happy to sell you for $60 ...
