Remind us how many miles you have on the bike and what the caliper readings are on the plates when you get to that

Am replacing the roller bearing while I'm in there. I do have a tube of that expensive Honda assembly paste for splines but since all this slops around in oil anyhow it's probably pointless.

Given how sensitive mc clutches are to lubricants, I don't know that I'd use that so close to those plates- true that it would circulate in oil when used on sim buckets and camshafts (which I've done), but... Listen in to see what others think, maybe, before doing that. Maybe it's fine.

Thanks for the pic of the internals of the clutch area. Looks like what you'd see when looking at a fine mechanical watch........

I'm not using it, the splines on the drive shaft are one thing but this is pretty well lubed so no. I will give all the new plates a nice coating of oil though before reassembly.

A fine mechanical watch that occasionally judders and grinds.
