Remove judder spring in clutch.
How? This is a pretty easy and inexpensive fix that will help prevent your clutch from fading in stock form. Start by disassembling the clutch cover and removing the four clutch springs. Take off the pressure plate and slide out all of the clutch plates and friction disks. The last friction disk you remove is apart of the judder spring. It has a narrower band and has a different friction pattern. Set this disk aside. What remains in the clutch basket are two narrow rings (one is metallic and the other black). Remove these. Replace the judder spring (the last friction disk and two narrow rings) with a standard friction disk. Any year 09-11 will work. Lastly, reassemble the clutch each disk and plate at a time and bolt the four clutch springs back in.
Note: Be careful tightening the clutch spring bolts back in. Honda bolts are known to have some weak bolts, and snapping one off in the clutch basket is the last thing you want to do. Also, add a dab of loctite to those four bolts to prevent them from potentially coming loose. Once assembled, you might have to go back to the clutch perch on the handle bar and adjust the clutch tension to reduce or create some play. Always have a little bit of play in your clutch.
Cost: $6-7
