CX500 Rescue - Fixing a bunch of mistakes from bad previous work. In this video I show you how to adjust the valves, set cam chain tension, and bench sync carburetors.

I find a bunch of mistakes that I made when I first put this bike together and work to rectify them one at a time to make this Honda CX500 scrambler run much better!
