trek97 said:stator test is an easy one. 3 leads from stator. We can call them 1,2,3, Set meter to ohms. Read at the plug 1-2, 1-3, 2-3. They should all be around 1.0 ohms. If not, AND you have very sharp meter tips. Push the tips through the wire insulation close to the stator body itself. Read all three again. If it tests good here. Then start looking for the broken wire. Usually between the stator and the bend where it comes through the plastic seal. If you find the break you can then re-solder w a new wire. If it reads 1 ohm through wires 1-2, and nothing 2-3 and 1-3 then you know its wire 3 thats broke. Because 1 and 2 both read good.
FWIW. I just replaced mine w one of these Emgo.

Yes new clutch discs and springs is a pretty easy job. Be sure to measure the steel plates while you're in there. Also, I use Rotella in the blue bottle in all my Hondas. Some oils can be too slippery causing slip issues.
Thanks for this quick stator test! I just did it. I had trouble getting a constant reading at first, since it's always difficult to stick the meter leads in the stator pin and hold them consistently but finally got a 1 constant 1 ohm reading on the 3 tests. So I guess my stator is fine?
I also tested the generator and it is OK too at 5 ohms.
Can the new regulator I installed be the problem? it is this one, it is advertised for the CB350F and I saw the same ones at 4into1.com

Yeah I'll just go ahed and change the clutch plates, I don't know Rotella though, never saw that brand here in France, I've used Motul mineral oil.
What kind of clutch wrench do you use on the 350 four?
I ordered this one : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Motorcycle-Fly-Wheel-Clutch-Hub-Rotor-Sprockets-Spanner-Wrench-Holder-Tool-Black-Adjustable-Motor-Accessories/32901069480.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.15694c4dPATlzN
But I'm not sure if I should get a specific one like this one: https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB350-FOUR/part_236886/
