The Honda 28431-883-000 Friction Plate is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Honda generators, tillers, horizontal and vertical shaft engines, lawn mowers, and water pumps — including the E1500, E2500, ED1000, EG1000, EG1500, F400, F500, FR500, FR700, G150, G200, G300, GV150, GV200, HR21, WA20, and WA30. As a direct Honda OEM replacement, this friction plate is manufactured to the same standards as the part that left the factory. Because Honda supersedes parts across serial number breaks, confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to make sure part number 28431-883-000 is the correct version for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — manufactured by Honda to match the friction and engagement characteristics of the original component, ensuring the part performs exactly as the machine was designed to operate.
- Broad Cross-Platform Fitment — covers Honda generators including the E1500, E2500, ED1000, EG1000, and EG1500; tillers including the F400, F500, FR500, and FR700; G150, G200, and G300 horizontal shaft engines; GV150 and GV200 vertical shaft engines; the HR21 lawn mower; and WA20 and WA30 water pumps.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates part supersessions at specific serial breaks, so verify your machine's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct friction plate for your specific unit.
- Correct Engagement Feel — a worn or glazed friction plate causes slipping, inconsistent engagement, or failure to hold under load; replacing it with this OEM part restores the crisp, positive engagement the original design delivers.
A friction plate is a precision-engineered disc that transmits rotational force through controlled surface contact and clamping pressure. In recoil starter and clutch assemblies, it allows controlled engagement and disengagement between rotating components — gripping firmly under load while permitting smooth release when not engaged. When the friction surface wears down or glazes over, the plate can no longer hold its grip reliably, leading to slipping, erratic engagement, or a complete failure to transfer power. Replacing a worn friction plate with a genuine OEM part restores full, consistent engagement and protects the surrounding components from the additional wear that slippage causes.
