Why are there so many problems with the Honda CBX charging system?

Honda CBX Charging System Why are there so many problems The Honda CBX Charging System. Why are there so many problems? The system goes back to the 1970’s and was designed for easy removal & replacement, being externally mounted with quick release connectors.

What kind of meter does Honda CBX use?

Adobe reader program is required to view the chart. When using the Technical Manual one has to remember that digital multi-meters were not being utilized back then, so most of the electrical measurements were on an analog-style meter (Voltmeter).

How is the rectifier identified on a Honda CBX?

The rectifier unit is identified by the three leads (from the stator windings) soldered to three small tabs. The regulator unit is identified by a large, round power transistor in the center surrounded by a small heat sink (with fins). The alternator uses a common metal ground internally to connect these three units together.

What kind of alternator does a Honda CBX use?

The Kawasaki alternator used in the Jung setup for the CBX is the one from the ZX7R model. The alternator used on the ZX7R is a functionally standard type of electromagnetic rotor type with a 3 phase stator winding in the frame. The rotor assembly is mounted on a rotating shaft (approximately 1/2″ diameter).

Is the CBX ignition the same as the Kettering?

Remember, the CBX ignition is the same as the Kettering in that the coil is “hot” 90 percent of the time and only turned off to create a spark. The problem is, Kettering-based transistorized ignition systems won’t tolerate having their primary winding resistance decreased.

How many ignition coils does a CBX have?

If there is anything that is different from that old 350 however, it is how the CBX’s ignition coils are wired. The CBX has just three ignition coils for its six cylinders. How it do dat?
