the cx gets new fluid

A rainy day here in the Lou and cool enough for a long sleeve shirt all day-amazing. It was Vintage Bike Night last night at Schlaffley Bottle Works. We saw one CX500...it  was a Deluxe not a Custom, but close enough.  There were even some Motto Guzzi's with their engine looking similar to the CX's. Today I got to the cam chain inspection using a dental mirror inside the timing port. The chain tensioner looks to have plenty of adjustment remaining-good news! I also drained and re-filled the rear drive with fresh 80w-90 gear lube. Next- a valve adjustment and the 32 year old set of wheels will, at least, be caught up on routine maintenance.
