CBX1000 first run 2024.

Having set the ball rolling by starting the bikes on Good Friday, I felt duty bound to continue the good work and actually ride one of my motorcycles for the first time this year. The CBX was a logical choice as it was pointing the right way in the garage.
I didn't go far but still managed to encounter some rain before arriving home. Not to worry, bike cleaning on Easter Monday sounds good to me! Enjoy the video.

A beautifull bike my old friend has one not been started for 20 years breaks my heart

[@AlistairCampbell1047cc]

Hi Kevin. It's a shame about your friends CBX. I'm sure it wouldn't take that much to get her fired up again. Definitely worth a shot!

Cobwebs, man, cobwebs? I despair. Weather looks unseasonally fine.

[@AlistairCampbell1047cc]

The weather was okay but I still managed to get caught in the rain on the way back.

Thanks Richard.

poetry in motion, although maybe just audio, but on your first stop, the tickover sounded a little rough, like running on choke, I have never owned one, so maybe they sound like that ?

[@AlistairCampbell1047cc]

To be honest, Keith, the audio does it no favours, but most CBX's have a bit of a clutch rattle at idle accentuated by slight carb imbalance. It's a bit of a footer, and I don't have the gauges. Maybe next year 😅

Hi Alistair, If my cbx has not run for a few weeks, it needs lots of turning over before it will start to kick. Do you recognise this behaviour with your cbx?

[@AlistairCampbell1047cc]

This is quite common to be honest. Most of the guys that I talk to are surprised by how easily mine starts. The strange thing is, mine will probably not start as quickly if I was to try it in two weeks time. Weird! I don't think you've anything to worry about. Thanks for watching.
