Carb synch is tricky on those, same type linkage as the early Z1 carbs, nightmare. You get them dead on, then blip the throttle, and they go all over the place.....again. I make a lot if my own tools, and the one for that ring is tricky. But, then, it IS a Honda. |

The other problem encountered with syncing the carbs on these little 4’s is that they get hot quick, so you can sync for a little bit, then let the engine cool down a little, then go again....repeat that like 5 times! I think all they ever did at the factory when there were new was get them close and call it good. |

CBX isn't that hard, but it takes more than one type synch tool,to get to the adjusters. Keeping the air cooled engines from overheating during the process is the giant adverse issue. |
