Honda CHF 50 Metropolitan, CHF 50 Jazz, CHF 50 Scoopy, CHF 50 Crea Scoopy, CHF 50 Metropolitan P II Parts Catalog

If you have ever ordered brake shoes for a Honda CHF 50 Metropolitan and ended up with the wrong size because some aftermarket website thought a 2002 model uses the same part as a 2008 model, you know the pain. I do. You waste an afternoon, ship parts back, and your customer’s scooter sits on the lift. This parts catalog kills that guesswork. 113 pages of pure OEM factory data—no reprints, no copy-paste from a third-party database. Just the actual part numbers, disc measurements, and interchange lists that Honda used when they built these machines.

Brake Parts: Why This Catalog Saves You from a Second Trip

The brake system on these scooter models—CHF 50 Jazz, CHF 50 Scoopy, CHF 50 Crea Scoopy, and CHF 50 Metropolitan P II—is not universal. Drum or shoe? Shoe width? Page 2 of the catalog lists every model year from 2001 through 2008 with the exact brake type. For example, the CHF 50 Metropolitan uses a drum front brake with shoe part number references. The CHF 50 Jazz? Same drum setup but different shoe dimensions. The catalog shows the column “W Qty” for width and “S” for shoe type. Without this application list, you are gambling. I have seen too many shops order shoes for a 2003 Metropolitan and install them on a 2006 only to find the drum won’t fit. Use the factory list.

Disc Measurement Procedure – Page 11

Brake disc wear limits matter. If you throw a new pad on a disc that is below minimum thickness, you get poor braking and potential failure. Page 11 covers “How to measure a disc” (Vermessung einer Bremsscheibe). The catalog gives you the measuring points and the factory spec. No need to guess with a caliper and hope. It tells you exactly where to measure and what the wear limit is. I have a set of digital calipers in my drawer, and I check every disc against this procedure before I order a replacement. Saves comebacks.

Application List – Know Exactly Which Parts Fit Your Honda

Section 10 – Scooters Master Application 2009 is the gatekeeper. It lists every Honda scooter model from Dio to Zoomer, but the columns for our CHF 50 series are precise. Year code, type, drum or disc, shoe width. The catalog also includes the part numbers for disc rotors and pads in the galleries (page 13 and 14). You want to know if a CHF 50 Metropolitan P II (2002–2006) shares a brake pad with a CHF 50 Jazz? Look at the brake pad interchange list on page 15. That list is gold. It cross-references dozens of models so you can stock common pads without over-ordering. I keep a printed copy in my tool box.

Parts Catalog vs. Aftermarket: One Has the Real Part Numbers

I have seen aftermarket catalogs that list a brake pad for “Honda CHF 50 Metropolitan 2001-2008” with a single part number. That is lazy. The OEM catalog splits by year and sub-model because Honda changed the brake assembly in 2004 for the Metropolitan P II. The catalog gives you the exact Honda part number, not a generic aftermarket cross. If you order using the factory number, you get the right part the first time. No returns, no delays. The catalog also includes the OEM disc rotor part numbers separated by measurement—you can search by diameter and thickness (section 12). This is the kind of data that prevents a call from an angry customer a week later.

How to Use the Brake Pad Interchange List

Page 15 is not just a list of pads—it is an interchange list. You can find which pads from other Honda models fit your CHF 50. Say you have a 2005 CHF 50 Scoopy and the pad you need is backordered. The interchange list shows that the same pad fits the NH 50 Lead from 1998–1999. Now you can source it from a different inventory. That is the kind of shortcut that keeps a job moving. But do not rely on interchange alone—always verify the shoe width and drum diameter from page 2. The catalog gives you all the specs you need to make that call.

What Torque Values Are Listed?

I saw the question coming. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Do not expect torque specs for caliper bolts or axle nuts. What you get are the part numbers and measurement data to order the correct components. For torque specs, you need the factory service manual—we have those too, like the Honda VFR750F 1994 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts Breakdown or the Honda VFR400R VFR400Z 1989 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual. But if you are ordering brake parts for a CHF 50, this catalog is the only source that guarantees you get the right Honda part. Also check the Honda PCX150, WW150EX 2014 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual if you work on bigger scooters.

FAQ

Does this parts catalog include assembly diagrams?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. It contains application lists, disc measurement instructions, brake pad galleries, and interchange lists. You get the part numbers and dimensions needed to order the correct OEM components.

Can I use this catalog to find brake pads for my 2004 CHF 50 Jazz?

Yes. Page 2 shows the application list for CHF 50 Jazz (Canada, 2001-2008) with drum shoe width and type. Page 14 has the brake pad gallery with part numbers. Page 15 gives the interchange list. Three pages and you have everything.

Will this catalog work for a European model CHF 50?

The catalog lists models by region: US, Canada, Australia, Japan. The European CHF 50 may have different brake components. Check the application list on page 2—if your model year and type match, the part numbers should be correct. When in doubt, measure the disc and compare to section 12.

Why does the catalog have German terms like “Vermessung”?

This is an OEM catalog produced by MGI MetalGear International GmbH. The original publication includes German and English sections. The “How to measure a disc” page uses German headers but the English translation is provided. The part numbers and specifications are language-independent.

You want to stop ordering wrong brake parts and start using factory data? Pull the trigger. Automotive Industry Overview and Automotive Battery are separate topics. For this scooter, what matters is having the exact part number in your hand. Access the Factory Manual and get that CHF 50 Metropolitan back on the road without a second trip to the parts store.
