Why did the camshaft come loose on my 1978 Honda CX 500?
The CX’s camshaft was driven by a chain off the crankshaft. The chain was tensioned by a rubber blade, but because the bolt securing the blade tightened against rubber, when the rubber lost its spring the bolt on early 1978 CXs could come loose, with unfortunate results. Honda CX500 owner Larry Cargill points out that the recall is still in effect.
