I am the owner of a Honda motorcycle [CBX1000] who lives in Hiroshima City, Japan. I am posting about FCR carburetor and CBX1000 customization. I also post about things other than cars and motorcycles. We will post information that will make bikers around the world happy.
The other day, on June 5, 2022, I rode my KAWASAKI Z1000J, and there were a lot of insects around the front, so I cleaned it up and put it in the rental garage. By the way, here's the article about the previous tour. I also wrote about Uotani's rev dial, so if you're interested, be sure to check it out.
This blog post is just a few photos, it's not a post with any content. If you like reading material that is easy to read and read, please read to the end.
CBX1000 cleaning
Basically, the less water you use when washing a motorcycle, the better. I dampen a rag with water to remove insects, clean off excess oil, apply a barrier coat, wax the plated parts, and spray silicone on the solid items before lightly polishing the mirror-finished parts. Since I clean my bike frequently, I rarely spend much time on it. Your motorcycle will look great as long as the wheels and chain are clean.
CBX1000-Gallery with cowl
This is the cowl of the CBX400F Integra. Since it's uncertain when I’ll remove it again, I want to take as many photos as possible now.
The screen is tinted and is an aftermarket item purchased at an auction. Whether the meter visor affects the vehicle inspection depends on whether it is considered a screen. If it is seen as a screen and visibility is deemed poor, it could lead to rejection.
Also, please note that if you have stickers on your vehicle, you might need to remove them during the inspection. It’s a good idea to keep a designated spot for stickers so they can be easily remembered. I usually place stickers on the front side of the two halves of the rear fender.
CBX400F Integra cowl reputation
It has a great reputation among cowl enthusiasts and is also well-regarded by those who prioritize performance. Some people might find it odd that others choose based on appearance. To be honest, I’m someone who is drawn to things based on their looks, so rather than thinking it’s strange, I actually find round eyes cooler. However, motorcycles with cowls are easier to ride, and I don’t consider having a cowl to be uncool. It will remain in this condition until the next vehicle inspection or long-term maintenance.
CBX1000 – 2022/06/05 – Cleaning is fun.【summary】
This time, instead of just cleaning, my goal was to move the motorcycle to the rental garage before heavy rain hits during the rainy season. It’s important to clean your motorcycle before storing it to avoid causing trouble for other CBX1000 owners, shops, and fellow riders. Keeping it clean can enhance the overall quality of the motorcycle industry, which makes me happy.
Large motorcycles aren't necessary for daily life, and it’s important not to cause discomfort to non-motorcyclists. As someone who doesn’t ride, I aim to be a role model for those considering riding for the first time. I also want to feel clean and cool when I get off my bike.
Even for a test ride around the neighborhood in hot weather, I avoid wearing light clothing. Instead of a leather jacket, I opt for a mesh jacket with a protector.
When cleaning your motorcycle, you might notice issues like oil leaks, disconnected connectors, or tire wear, which are important for safety. Avoid waxing tires or coating brake discs, and make sure to clean your motorcycle frequently.
