Conrods did bend when people put their CBX on the side stand with the petcock open and gas slowly dripped into the left cylinder causing a hydraulic lock when they started the engine. This was on the 1979 CBX , on the 1980 they put a vacuum operated petcock on but this than gave a worse starting as you had to create a vacuum to get the gas flowing . On my 1980 CBX's I by passed the vacuum pet cock as I always closed the pet cock.
