HONDA V45 SABRE, '83 V45 SABRE, MAGNA ADDENDUM 13. TECHNICAL FEATURES ONE-WAY CLUTCH SYSTEM 25-31 OPTICAL-FIBER ANTITHEFT DEVICE 25-33 ONE-WAY CLUTCH SYSTEM First time on a production motorcycle, this system has been proven on the race circuits of Europe in Hondas Gran Prix road racers. Rear wheel lock up caused by rapid downshifting and the resulting high engine compression braking force; is prevented by the slippage of the one-way clutch. Construction The one-way clutch is installed with the clutch center inside the clutch outer. Half the clutch plates are controlled by the one-way clutch. The one-way clutch allows those plates to slip when backloading force during deceleration might normally cause the rear wheel to lock-up. Except for the one-way clutch, the primary driven gear/clutch assembly is a conventional design. ONE-WAY CLUTCH ONE-WAY CLUTCH OUTER CLUTCH OUTER COMP.
