I recently stripped down my newly acquired 1982 CM450, and I noticed that a switch that I think should connect to the right side of the crankcase is missing (clarified in photo below). I've looked through my service manual and couldn't find any info about it. Anyone know what it is so I can source a replacement? Thanks!

That is your neutral switch for your transmission. # 18 in this fiche ... https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cm450c-1982-c-custom-usa_model1051/partslist/E++19.html#results (it's not available any more. Best to find the one from your engine. Be sure to use/find the special 'washer' that goes under it)

Welcome to the forum. You will need a proper Factory service manual. PM sent.

The CM/CB 400 switch will not work, it jams the shift drum. Any 1982-86 CM/CB 450 manual trans switch will work.
