The Honda CBX is a very special motorcycle. At over 40 years old it is far from the fastest or best performing. Even at its debut it enjoyed king-of-the-hill quarter-mile status only until the Suzuki knocked it off its tenuous throne merely a few months later. Heck, with its origin in a s NSU design its multivalve multi-cam engine was already old tech before it was even produced. So no one has illusions, not then and certainly not now. And heavy?

A Honda CBX engine rebuild is not something that should be taken on by a home mechanic in their shed or garage. These motors are unique, quite complex and there is a lot of knowledge required about how these engines work and are put together before touching them. The time has come to rebuild these motors now because the cam chain tensioners are at the end of their life. To change the cam chain tensioners the entire motor needs to be stripped to the last nut and bolt which offers a great opportunity to really understand the history of the motorcycle and fix anything that requires attention. These motors require oil changes every 1, miles and filters every 2, miles with valve clearances checked at each interval. Thinking you can just check them every 8, miles is really not acceptable and could cause the bike to drop a valve or two. However, if the maintenance is ignored then the life of the motor is severely reduced. Some bloke who makes tables but is well known in the CBX owners club will not add value to your machine when it comes to doing this level of work. Removing a Honda CBX rocker cover is not as simple as just undoing the bolts and lifting it off once the motor is tilted forward. Remove the tacho drive first and ensure that the thrust washer shim is removed first, then the taco drive and then remove the rocker cover. Check that the oil seal for the taco drive is present in the rocker cover, as this and the shim are vital. Consequently, the taco drive leapt out of its housing and the cam lobe forced it through the cylinder head. Most of these motors require this component to now be reinforced with ally weld in a special jig and then dressing. Should this piece break, which they often do, there is a good chance that the taco drive will find its way through the cylinder head.

And all because of cheap valvesfor which quality long-lasting aftermarket replacements are available and strongly recommended.

Why are our Honda CBXs so good? Below is a typically well bought Honda CBX Most motorcycle dealers would sell this straight on, the engine sounded good and the motorcycle looked good, just requiring the stickers on the side panels. All of the paintwork is looking good and bright, the motor sounds good and looks good, all of those original parts like exhausts and shock absorbers are present and look great. Looking very closely the Honda CBX buying clues are there about what lies beneath.

They may not have been the first kids in the 6-cylinder motorcycle game, but in their usual fashion they quickly took the reins. Making its debut as a model, the Honda CBX showed the world again what Honda was capable of. Suspended from the frame and acting as a stressed member, the 1,cc, inline-six on the Honda CBX was a double-overhead cam unit with four valves per cylinder. Six 28mm Keihin carburetors meted out the fuel and air, with an accelerator pump for heavy throttle activity. Never intended as a fuel miser, the brawny six returned MPG ratings in the low 20s. The capacious 6. A 5-speed gearbox sent power to the rear wheel via chain drive, and Honda Comstar wheels on the debut model were finished in silver. Top speed was calculated to be mph and was among the best of the day.
