embee 7,288 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Look forward to hearing what's found. Link to post
Guest DelBoy Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 The bike shop stripped the clutch out and it was found to be "fryed". I Will attach a photo of old plates when I can get them down in size. They reported their findings to Honda UK, who kindly agreed to supply all new parts gratis valued at £170) However I had to pay for the labour (£152, Which included new oil and filter). However they did loan me a new CB650F fro the week at no charge..! Not a bad outcome in the circumstances, so I am reasonably happy. The mechanic told me that in his opinion the clutch is not "man enough" for the job and that their trainer bikes have gone through a clutch in 600 miles. . So I am going to be extra gentle on it now and if it goes again I think that an aftermarket HD kit will be the way forward Link to post
embee 7,288 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 As soon as it starts slipping appreciably the plates will overheat and fry. It's a question of why it started slipping, cause and effect. Anyway, you have a new clutch pack from Honda so good result. Link to post
larryblag 14,236 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Really strange. I've never had a clutch fail like I said earlier. There must be more to this otherwise there'd be more reports of similar on here? I could understand there being perhaps one faulty plate in a pack but the whole set? Unless the failure of one plate has put seeds on the rest but that's unlikely too. If it's not down to incorrect adjustment then I suspect a clutch basket fault is "snagging" the plates and keeping the them from engaging fully. Great that you have some of the cost let by Honda. The price for the parts would suggest a full clutch pack (including basket) has been fitted so hopefully that'll be the end of it for you Link to post
trisaki 2,029 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) At the price of £170 I think you get the full set of friction plates Inc the two special ones and the plain metal ones i doubt it would include the basket Edited December 21, 2017 by trisaki 1 Link to post

Basket was Fine, just Friction and Steel plates also Springs and lock nut. Respect to Honda UK for that. Pictures of old plates Burn baby Burn..... Edited December 21, 2017 by DelBoy Link to post
