I've just got a 1980 CX500 and it's my first, hence the question.
The bike was stood for quite a while before my purchase and ran/idled roughly under 1500 revs but ran much better above that mark.
I stripped the carbs down and found the usual gunk and also cleaned out the tank and added an in line filter from tap to carb.
Eventually, she fired up and seems a lot better. However, she still seems a little rough at idle but runs like a dream above 1500 revs.
Any ideas?
