A Honda crack shaft is not machined to a square finish it is curved.
If you fit the clutch straight onto the crankshaft this curve will flare the end of the clutch making it impossible to take to bits to service, hence the chamfered the washer.
The washer supplied for to bolt the clutch to the crankshaft is always too fat, I machine them down in the lathe to make a better fit.
The clutch should be held tightly to the crankshaft, the only end-float should be from the bearing in the clutch drum, any more than this causes excessive ware to the clutch drum teeth & the sprocket teeth.
