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

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

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

Are these bikes always this hard to start?
Just wondering.
