Problem with CBX
Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2021 5:18 pm
Hey Guys, I have a big problem with the CBX.
Can't keep it under 5000 + rpm in any gear. I should have been ticketed by now.
All kidding aside the bike runs better every time I get on it.
Have been adding Seafoam to every tank and the idle and getting up to speed has been getting smoother.
Did have to adjust down the rpms at idle a few times already.
Must admit that the handle bars seem to be a bit too far forward and too low for my liking. I really don't know if I have standard height bars or lower bars than standard. On longer trips my hands get a bit numb. All part of the experience I guess.
Here's a few pics, if anyone can lend some advice, I'd really appreciate it. Two things I'm looking for,
1) The angle of the bars, do they look like they are a bit too far outboard?
Can I rotate them back a bit so they'll be a bit closer to my body, hence, then I wouldn't be leaning as far forward.
2) The height of the bars, don't know if what I have is standard or lower bars, (or is there even such a thing). Has anyone added spacers to lift them up a touch. The height of my bars from the base to the center of the bar is 85 mm. Sound right for standard height bars?
Thanks as always.
