For Dodger (and any other CBX fiends)

Rather nice animation of a CBX engine assembly.

 

Click on the progress bar a few mm into the vid - for some reason it
didn't start instantly for me either.

Now that, right there, is a man in desperate need of getting laid.

Really.

 

Nice? Not the word that comes to my mind.

Why?

is the first, quickly followed by "for" then "****'s" and "sake".

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Blimey, a bit anal.

So was that a CAD package, an animation package or what?

And do CBX camshafts really come in two major pieces?

 

I lasted less than 30 seconds ...fnarr

 

Yes. And the joiny bits in the middle wear out.

Just another piece of "characterful" engineering insight from the
mighty H.

Like two camchains, and an alternator with a clutch.

 

Yes. The joint is known as an Oldham Coupling, presumably because it's
used to old 'em together.

 

<shudder>

Crude bastards.

Bloody hell, isn't memory a peculiar thing. I just turned almost
straight to the page (150) in the gospel according to St Phil about
them. Cammy singles in that case though.

A fine old Japanese engineering company, I'm sure.

 

Grone.

 

Well if you were drivng twenty-four valves off one roller chain, I
could sort of understand it. But... looking at the animation again,
first, the sprockets look more like gears, which implies Hy-Vo chains,
and the camshaft sprockets seem to be offset, which implies that there
are two crank-to-camshaft chains, but there seems to be only one
sprocket on the crankshaft.

Surely they don't slave one camshaft off the other? It's just the
animation, right?

 

They do.

Same with the CB750 and CB900 fours of the same era.
