Judder/snatch from drivetrain
Discussion
I'm noticing a juddering/snatch on my CBF500 when accelerating hard in 1st. Not so noticeable in the other gears or if I'm REALLY smooth with the clutch.
It's almost as if when it's 3/4 the way through engaging it snaps tension/engages fully - you can feel it in the rear wheel.
Its not slipping snd the wheel isn't spinning up.
The chain and sprockets have less than 1500 miles on them and the problem was there prior.
Adjusting tension makes no difference.
Clutch itself was changed circa 15,000 miles ago. I've tried adjusting it via the cable and still the same issue.
No other issues with changing.
It has the notorious CB500 clutch basket rattle. Just about to hit 80k miles.
Any ideas? It's more annoying than anything.

Plenty of new ones listed on eBay assuming yours is a 2004-2008 bike?

And a few lightly used sprocket carriers with them too, should be able to make something work

Can't find any new ones unfortunately.
Getting bloody annoying finding specific parts for this now. Managed to source a centrestand for £30 last week but all the springs are unavailable.
Hearing I can pack out the space with innertube or aluminium plate if I can't get a set to work?
I was convinced it was the clutch as I've never had an issue with cush drives before......

Could this be a notched clutch basket ?
Is a Cush drive is more obvious when going on and off the throttle with the clutch fully engaged ?
It is quite snatchy on the throttle I will say. It just feels as though it's coming from the rear and almost akin to chain tightening it's tension.Is a Cush drive is more obvious when going on and off the throttle with the clutch fully engaged ?

Ahhhh. Thank you https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CBF500A6-ABS-2...
Potentially, albeit different part number from fowlers? I'll email them!
