Honda CX engine CX650 starting.

[motosclasicas]

espero que haiias cambiado el bendix porque en el invierno no la arrancas mas!!

[RobereTurbo]

need a starter motor (with gear replacement).

Poss' a flywheeel gear ring as well.

My CX-650T once in a while makes that sound.

[twiedie]

Dear CXhaust, my CX650Turbo makes the same sound during starting. As your video is already from some time ago, I was wondering: did you find out what the problem was?

[stuffelse]

My brother and I had one that fried its starter clutch. We got lazy and brought it to the shop, wasn't a cheap fix, but worth it. I still miss that bike terribly.

[douglas787]

Once running it sounds pretty good. The CX bikes had a lot of problems with the cam chain tensioner, and the chain made a terrible noise when that failed. Just push start it till you can get the problem fixed.

[junker845]

@douglas787 how would push starting it bypass the cam chain tensioner??? it wouldnt run without the cams... that sounded like a bad starter clutch

[annonymoususerme]

@douglas787 Yup, I used to have one and the tensioner broke. Then the chain broke, resulting in bent valves and a lot of other problems. Nice bike though, really miss it.

[cain5896]

Are these bikes always this hard to start?

Just wondering.

[Toehead698]

@cain5896

Nope, he has a fried starter clutch. Normally they are easy to start.

[cain5896]

@Toehead698 Thanks for the advice man.

[TurboDV8]

Starter clutch gone. And a 1:37 video of you grinding away on it. Good Lord. Keep that up and you'll be replacing your crankshaft, too, because all the commotion of that abuse gets transferred straight to the needle bearings on the crankshaft, which soon gets destroyed.

[valkyrieste]

could be missing teath on the starter, missing teeth on either side of the starter reduction gear or teeth on the ring gear mounted behind the magneto. hope it is the starter tho...

[171apples171]

That primary drive gear is fucked...

[ThebigHurtt]

not cool at all

[davidbedina]

[witchdoctor88]

Shame your starter clutch is bad... but it did give the characteristic CX tonkle-tonkle-tonkle at idle!

[smitmk3]

[clovekjamajsky]

but the engine itself is running pretty well I think...

[heybjb]

those are awesome bikes. best of luck and whatever you do,fix it up and keep it, don't sell yours like i did, you will regret it. none finer available overall.

[daypass69]

Its the one way bearing

100% sure

[friedheine]

It isn't the starter motor, it's the starter DRIVE.

[Vauxhall90]

Starter clutch not engaging, when the engine does fire up sounds like the dreaded cam chain rattle of which is leathel if left un adjusted. One knackered engine will be the result. Drop the oil take the filter housing off rip out the paper from the element check for silver/copper coloured swarf if evident remove engine & investigate further.

[stvlu733]

Keep doing that and you will do more damage. Replace or rebuild the starter motor. Sicky starter solinoid.

[abyssunderground]

Bad starter motor.
