1983 Honda CB650SC Nighthawk · Clutch Plates Buying guide
The two products offer friction and steel plates for the listed Nighthawk application. Identify the plate type and the condition of the fitted clutch before deciding which replacements to buy.
Honda’s US-market CB650SC shop manual lists worn discs, weak springs and hydraulic sticking among the possible causes of clutch slip. Establish the cause before deciding that a plate order covers the repair.
The same manual also calls for checking clutch-outer slots and needle-bearing condition. Include those checks when defining the repair; buying plates alone does not establish that the remaining assembly is serviceable.
No. Each friction-plate order supplies one plate, and each steel-plate order supplies one plate. The listed 1983–85 CB650SC application uses six friction and five steel plates per motorcycle. Keep those installed counts separate from the single-piece sales units and order from the inspected repair.
Honda’s manual distinguishes friction-disc condition and thickness checks from steel-plate warpage checks. Use the applicable service limits for each type before deciding which pieces need replacement.
Honda’s US-market CB650SC manual says to coat the discs and plates with clean engine oil before installation. Follow the replacement plate maker’s instructions too; the cited manual passage does not specify a soaking duration.
