Are the standard brakes of classic motorcycles low in performance? I customized my brakes....

Comparison of brakes from the past and present: Even when comparing a CBX1000 equipped with a recently manufactured complete brake system to a CBX1000 that is using well-maintained, 40-year-old brakes, the performance difference is significant.

The recommended installation position for the air-fuel ratio gauge is at the center of the meter....

Where do you all mount your air-fuel ratio gauges? The air-fuel ratio gauge needs to be carefully monitored during high-speed runs, especially on straight stretches of road where it’s crucial to check the readings. On my CBX1000, I’ve removed the stock voltmeter and positioned the air-fuel ratio gauge right in the center of the meter cluster for easy visibility.

With the quick turn throttle housing, you can set the throttle free play to 0mm!...

When installing a quick turn throttle, one feature that is not present in a standard throttle housing is the throttle stop screw function. Although it might sound elaborate, it is simply a screw hole that has been cut. It is a bolt used to adjust the minimum return position of the throttle.

Throttle grip wiring - The FCR is a push-pull carburetor. Its direct operational feel is very appealing....

For adjusting the throttle area, there's no problem at all in thinking that you can easily do it yourself without needing to rely on a professional. For such tasks, you can usually find methods by searching online. If you still have trouble, you can consult a local motorcycle enthusiast, and you’ll likely find a solution.

FCR Tuning - Full Throttle! How lean can the main jet go? Will the engine hold up?...

I have performed full-throttle runs with a main jet size of 102 on my CBX1000.This is a discussion about how lean the main jet can be set based on past experiences.I should clarify that I haven’t tested it to the point of damaging the engine, and the testing is therefore insufficient. The inadequacy of the testing is due to the fact that it has not been tested until the piston melts.

Installing the cowl on CBX1000 is not difficult....

I received a question about installing a cowl on the CBX1000,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.

The difficulty of tuning an FCR carburetor varies depending on whether you're using a quick throttle or a standard throttle....

My CBX1000 used to have a very cool BITO machined throttle. I used it for almost 20 years, but I sold it because I changed it to an active Quick throttle. One of the recent themes in tuning the FCR is the feeling of acceleration when opening the throttle suddenly.

FCR setting - Installing an air-fuel ratio meter makes setting easier....

I have a PLX-DM-6 on my CBX1000. I see a lot of different expressions on the internet for carburetor settings, such as rich, lean, bumpy, and overhanging, rather than FCR settings. These are just the expressions used by the writers, so I'm not sure if they apply to the settings of my motorcycle.

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

Driving review with CBX400F Integra cowl installed on CBX1000. I am not talking about how easy it is to drive without the wind,or how it looks,but it is 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.

Amon 5-pole slim relay surge coil countermeasures...

My CBX1000 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.
