About CBX-LALALA

I have been riding a CBX motorcycle for over 20 years. I will post about FCR carburetor and CBX. I am writing a blog in Japan. This blog is a translation page of https://cbx1000.jp.I am translating 30 articles a month.

Installing the cowl on CBX is not difficult.

I received a question about installing a cowl on the CBX, so I will write about it in a column-like manner. Bikini cowls can be easily installed on almost any naked bike. Let's move on with the subject being a frame-mounted cowl.

I love CBX’s painted accessories.

This story uses photos taken at a rental garage. My CBX has a repainted exterior. We also store the normal exterior separately.

Riding is fun when you attach a cowl to a naked motorcycle

Driving review with CBX400F Integra cowl installed on CBX. I'm not talking about how easy it is to drive without the wind, or how it looks, but it's a lot of fun to throw it around and knock it over. My riding technique is rather poor. And if anything, it feels like a straight line number.

Frame mount cowl installation cost – for CBX400F Integra installation

I saw a cowl for the CB750F being put up for sale, as well as a cowl that was attached to the CBX. Just buying it is not the end, so please use it as a reference for what you need and what to do after you buy it. Frame-mounted cowls are not just a DIY job that you can install after purchasing them.

FCR Tuning-Test run and screw adjustment-22/10/25

My CBX1000 has a two-pronged throttle wire. There are two idling stop screws. Changing the idling will cause a slight loss of synchronization. It's only numbers 1 and 6, but I'm adjusting the idling stop screw while checking with the vacuum gauge.

Tools required for CBX FCR tuning

Racing carburetors such as FCR are not finished once they are installed; with FCR, it is just the start. FCR starts after tuning. This time I will introduce the tools used for FCR tuning of CBX1000. It will also serve as a reference for other motorcycle FCR users. The main focus is on tuning, so if you want to completely disassemble it you will need a separate tool, but this is an introduction to tools for tuning.

FCR Tuning – Slow Jet Change – 22/10/24

When I did a test run the other day, I was a little concerned about the low throttle opening. The slow jet was set to 42 based on the time of BITO shipment. Perhaps it was because of the delayed discharge timing of the accelerator pump or because of the season, there were parts where the power was weak when starting from a fully closed throttle, and the air-fuel ratio was briefly lean, so it wasn't very pleasant. So I changed the slow jet from 42 to 48.

Amon 5-pole slim relay surge coil countermeasures

My CBX uses Amon's 4-pole relay and 5-pole relay for the added wiring part. It will be referred to as a relay below. The other day when I was browsing the internet, I found that the current flows backwards after the coil is disconnected. I did not know. The relay is used to turn on and off the position lamp.

Repaint-Illustration given when requesting

I organized my Google Drive. I found an illustration for the instructions I wrote when I requested the exterior repaint of my CBX. I will write about it. I will hire a repaint professional to do the job. Professionals fulfill client orders while conducting interviews.

FCR cab setting – test run on the expressway and Kizuna Stadium in Iwakuni

I have been told that a Saturday Night meeting will be held at Kizuna Stadium in Iwakuni from 19:00 on October 22, 2022. Along the way, I also tried driving the FCR while checking various air-fuel ratio gauges and paying close attention to the effectiveness of the accelerator pump.

FCR – Test run on the expressway – Check the condition of the main jet

The speed is within the legal speed limit. Fully open the throttle while looking at the gears like 3rd, 4th, and 5th. CBX is a motorcycle with up to 5 speeds. 3rd and 4th gears provide peaky acceleration. When you shift to 5th gear, it won't accelerate comfortably until you get up to a certain speed, but it feels like it will gradually increase the top speed and accelerate.

FCR tuning-AS air screw adjustment22/08/03

I wanted to eat curry for lunch, so I went for a light FCR test run. With my ability, I can't decide on a good screw position in one go, so I just do test runs and try different screw positions from rich to lean.

FCR Tuning – Easy way to turn off the acceleration pump

All you have to do is clip the push rod of the accelerator pump to prevent it from moving. that's all. I will also add a photo, so please check the size and position of the clip. For those using the old CBX FCR, there are two standard carburetors.

FCR tuning – Acceleration pump adjustment – If it is too fast, it will hit the throttle valve.

Write down what will hit you first. I found a case the other day, where the fuel injection from the FCR's accelerator pump hit the throttle valve. The fuel is not being sucked into the engine, but is instead hitting a door called the throttle valve.

Do you have the parts list, service manual, electrical diagram, and FCR tuning manual?

I have written a case where I lent the CBX parts list to an acquaintance. At that time, I also lent them the service manual, power distribution diagram, and FCR tuning manual. I wouldn't say it's essential when doing DIY, but it doesn't hurt to have it on hand and read it carefully for knowledge.

Naked style – CBX looks cooler without a cowl

I posted a naked style photo from a few years ago that came out. I once again felt that the design of the CBX really suits the naked-style round headlights. When it comes to riding, a motorcycle with a cowl is definitely easier to ride.

My CBX’s Photo Gallery

This is my CBX photo gallery.
The cowl is attached to the CBX400F Integra upper cowl using the [CBX] SC06 stay.
It can be changed to a naked specification instead of a cowl installation that cannot be reversed.
The matte black exterior has been changed to glossy black, including the meter, turn signal side cover, and rear fender. Added lines to the front fender.
