Honda CBX motor - exposed cutaway view |
|||
| The beast exposed, showing the general layout of the internal workings. Power flows from the crankshaft by a hy-vo chain to the jackshaft. It provides a coupling to the alternator clutch, the transmission and the ignition system. There is a single cam chain to the exhaust cam and a coupler chain to the intake cam. The 24 valves are shown as are the 6 pistons and the 120 degree crankshaft. All in all, a rather compact unit, considering the length of the crankshaft and the large size of the cylinder head. This is the magic of the CBX, it's soul bared for all. |  |
