The title is accurate.


I have to make an emergency 700 mile round trip and my options are to take my motorcycle or take my c-rex. I cannot leave until Sunday unfortunately. My bike is not a cruiser, but I've taken longer trips... though none in the dead of winter.....

Here is my concern. Yesterday on my way to work I pushed in the clutch and felt something hit my foot. I found a spring which I found to be honda part # 46540-SH5-010 .. SPRING ASSY., PEDAL RETURN for the clutch pedal. It just broke off. I am used to these things happening as my car has 289k hard miles on it. Normally I wouldn't worry about this, but due to the trip I have to ask if it is safe to drive without it. The only difference I can feel so far is that there is a reduced pressure on the clutch pedal. The clutch was replaced about 70k ago, but I cannot remember if it got a new pressure plate.

So my main question is whether I can/should risk this trip without this spring?

Thank you so much for your help.

just install a comparable spring interim. get yourself a replacement online.

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine, but I'd try and buy a replacement before you go. its not that cold in GA, but 45* at 80mph on a bike would suck. do what you gotta do to get the spring.

I have no spring for the brake, clutch, or gas pedal cause some previous owner moron decided to remove them.

Hmm... what if you adjusted the clutch pedal so it engaged further in as a precautionary measure if you can't find the spring? ... or, could you attach some sort of other spring to work until then? IDK, find something at a hardware store that can serve a similar purpose?
