Adjusting the CBX Valves
Reduced! Now just $27.95!
The valve adjustment booklet is another CBX instructional booklet. Valve adjustment may seem pretty simple, but there are some important steps, and this booklet, Adjusting the CBX Valves, covers the whole valve adjustment process. Included is how to use the factory shim tools, how to do the job without having a box full of valve shims, and even the adjustment of the often troublesome cam chains. Also included is dealing with the CBX's tendancy to have poor valve sealing, and what to do about it during the valve adjustment. Everything is laid out step by step. Like the carburetor book, this is an 8 1/2" by 11" booklet, runs to 30 pages, and contains more than 80 clear, to-the-point illustrations, most of them close-ups. Also included are line drawings of critical areas. And, except for the index marks on the crankshaft, all the steps are equally applicable to the CBX's smaller cousins, the early 80s DOHC CB750, CB900/1000 and CB1100 Honda Fours.

Servicing the CBX Charging System
Reduced! Now just $27.95!
The CBX charging booklet is a very special book. Servicing the CBX Charging System offers a close-up look at testing the CBX charging system. A bit more technical than the others, but like the rest, systematic and laid out in everyday terms. This book includes testing for bad wires and connectors, and checking common failure points in the system such as the rotor and brushes. There is also quite a bit about the use of the digial VOM and other special equipment, some of which you can make yourself. Also included are simple drawings of the charging system, and an easy-to-follow 3-Step Troubleshooting flowchart. Like the others, this is an 8 1/2" by 11" booklet, running to about 30 pages, and contains over 100 clear illustrations, many of them close-ups. And, except for the location of the alternator rotor, all the steps are equally applicable to the very similarly-equipped early DOHC CB750, CB900/1000 and CB1100 Honda Fours, as well as the SOHC CB650. For the Honda SOHC Fours, check out another booklet I have available. Don't just throw parts at the problem until it's fixed. Do it right.

Servicing the CBX Pro-Link Shock
Reduced! Now just $24.95!
Servicing the CBX Pro-Link Shock shows you how to remove and replace the CBX Pro-Link model shock's seal, which is the only correct way to change the shock damping fluid for a refreshed action, or just to stop a leak. This job is a lot easier than you think! But beware, neither the manual nor any of the many Internet sources address this job correctly. Also, you should be aware that one or two specialized tools are needed. Get the booklet and gain the confidence to do this job and to do it right. As usual, this is an 8 1/2" by 11" booklet, running to not quite 20 pages, and contains over 60 clear illustrations, many of them close-ups. The Honda GL500 uses the same exact seal and internals, so the booklet is exactly appropriate for that model also. And, the basic technique (if not the seal part number and fluid level specification) of servicing this shock is equally applicable to the other Honda models that used this same shock design. This includes the early VF series V-Fours, (all the earliest Interceptors, plus the VF700/750S Sabre and VF1100S Sabre). Go here for a "teaster" of what is in this booklet.

Advisory: The factory seals for these shocks are no longer available in the U.S. Consider this before purchasing this booklet.

Servicing the CBX Ignition System
Reduced! Now just $27.95!

Not as technical as the charging booklet, but similarly systematic in approach. And like the others, this is an 8 1/2" by 11" booklet, runs to 25 pages, and contains scores of clear, to-the-point illustrations, most of them close-ups. Also included are line drawings for better understanding. And, all these steps are equally applicable to the identical ignition system on the early 80s DOHC CB750, CB900/1000 and CB1100 Honda fours, as well as the SOHC CB650, and later GL500 and GL650, and in fact, 95 percent of the Honda road bikes made between 1979 and 1990.
