    Hi all, how's things? I've recently gotten my hands on a CX650 C for a base for my first build ever where I'm looking to go down a somewhat tracker/ scrambler-kinda route.. However the 15" rear wheel is somewhat of a challenge when it comes to knobby/ dualsport tires as you properly already...

    So awhile back I ordered a sissybar and cargo rack on ebay from a seller who told me it was for a CX650c. I decided to give it a shot and short story, it was not for this bike.. there was no way to easily mount it. Luckily today, I was able to make it work with some longer bolts and metal...

    So I'll be breaking it down completely for paint and bypass surgery, but I generally like the way it looks at this point. I have a stockpile of stuff now as I have been buying as budget allows. Still need to make some seat supports, reroute some wiring and hang my new headlight bucket. (sorry...

    So I stumbled on some gsxr600 front forks. They were stupid cheap so I couldn't pass it up. Unfortunately this is a cx650c so the front rake is stupid at 32°. With the front forks on with no sort of extension that drops the front to around 26-27°. I plan on adding some 50mm spacers to the forks...

    Just picked up a 1983 CX650C from a buddy who reflected it. Bike only has 9000~ miles on it and didn't take too much to get started. Since this is an old bike, I am going to follow the maintenance schedule in the shop manual, but what areas should I focus on replacing right away? Mainly...

    So someone attempted to steal my bike right outside of my neighborhood and not bragging but I live in a good part of town where this sort of the shouldn’t happen so they luckily failed but they tore all the whites connected to the key barrel so it was useless. I got a second one from a smaller...

    Hi everyone!! The seat cover on my CX650C is due. A local upholsterer checked it and claimed that the material had dried out and can't be fixed.. Do you guys have any recommendations for a replacement seat cover? I'm looking for something that would look as close as possible to the original...

    Hi! I'm in the middle of a move and I found a bunch of parts that I shouldn't need anymore for the CX650C. All I'm asking is shipping and whatever you think is fair. 1x OEM Stator, used, worn. Needs a re-wind 1x Full airbox assembly, including oil reservoir and carb boots. I might be short a...

    :confused:Hello all ! New user to the forum just got my hands on a cx650c and trying to get it going. It runs but needs head gaskets replaced. I have gotten a quote for $1,000 to replace both sides and clean valves, and shave head if needed, is this price fair?

    Hello all, I am a new member here, I've been riding for exactly one year, and am starting to do more involved work on the bike. One of my front forks has been leaking oil for a couple months. I've done research on this forum and others to see the steps and took a shot at it myself last weekend...

    When I purchased the cx650c it ran but was dripping gas from both carbs like crazy but it ran. Put it on the trailer got it home, took the carbs off and went through them. It stopped the leaking but was still running rough. When I rode it, it would run better at 5k and up rpm's. Pulled back...

    Ok, so I've been dealing with a cooling problem with my 650c that sat for about 6 years. I've had the bike from almost new (600) miles. Still diagnosing the cooling problem but in reading many posts here (I'm new to this site and thankful I found it), it seems it might be time for a cam chain...

    My filter had a family of mice in it. The only OEM filter I can find is on E-vil-bay for about $100 from Germany. I couldn't find any threads here about where to find these unique items. I think I can use an auto filter and replace the element in the metal housing. I boiled the old filter in...

    I tore down my inoperable 650C on a whim. It hadn't been running for about a year due to a blown head gasket and quite a bit of metal in the oil pan. Turns out most of the right connecting rod bearing made its way into the left cylinder head/piston. Other than that issue, most of the parts are...

    Well, I have had a couple bikes in the past including my cb750c. Since passing it along to my brother-in-law, I missed street riding. I was lucky that a buddy of mine sold me a cx650c. Now I have a project I can work on and enjoy on the street. To top it all off I came across the CX500Forum! I...
