FAQ CHASSIS: Q. I noticed a "notch" when I swing my handlebars from side to side with the front wheel raised. Is this bad? A. It is an indication of worn out steering head bearings. Most replace the current ball bearings with tapered roller bearings for better life and control.

Q. How much grease should I put in the Zerk fitting on the rear shaft? A. Four to five pumps of a regular grease gun should be sufficient, a couple more for the smaller sized guns. 1979 CX Custom manual: (20cc's of grease every 7500 miles.)

Q. What is this H box that always gets referred to? CX GL H box inside.jpg
