Are you trying to pull our collective legs

In any case, welcome to the site.

Do you own a CBX? How come you decided on this particular bike?

i am an idiot.....i thought I was upfront about that. I have two 1982 CBXs...got the first one from my dad when he died. He was crazy about his X, and I got the fever the first time I was on it. And I got the second one about a year ago. Yes, its my first bike, and I know I am crazy for learning on it. I promise to stay out of your way (and everyone else's as well, hopefully) on the highways. I just didn't know if there was anything that's not in the manual as far as oil changes. I have taken this bike to about a dozen shops (all Honda Certified, btw) out here in Cali, from San Diego all the way up to Oakland (so far) and all I hear is "That bike is too old for us to work on, and I don't know of anyone who will touch it. Its too old. But do you want to sell it? Its really a sharp bike!" I thought I might get some help here. Thanks

Bruce at Milpitas Motorsports will work on it if its not too far gone. He's synch'd my carbs and run the valves on my 79 and 82. Good mechanic!

Good luck in getting your bike sorted out, circuscbx.
I went through basically the same thing a couple of years ago when i needed the top end freshened up. Nobody would work on it but if you would sell it they would be happy to oblige.
I myself have recently graduated from the idiot level mechanic. It was close but i did pass. Some of these guys are magicians/artists when it comes to working on their bikes.
Enjoy yours on any level.
