    I'm new 'round here, but I just picked up an '80 CX500D, and am loving it so far. Everything's great, other than a strange fueling issue that has me stumped. I did a ton of poking around/searching here & elsewhere, and haven't found a similar issue. I'm able to ride for ~30-40 mins...

    Hey guys, Looking forward to getting back out in this beautiful weather. I have modified my air intake on my GL650. Best I can describe it as is a large conical mono-pod filter. Basically I have removed the factory airbox, but kept the connection from the carburetors to the airbox. I then put a...

    Hello everyone, I recently got my hands on the old cx500 custom 1980 that I used to ride when I was in high school. My sister had it at her place for about 6 years and it hasn't run in almost 3 years. Before they put the bike away it ran perfectly. The carbs had been cleaned, the clutch plates...

    A few days ago I was riding my bike around and it ran out of gas (fortunately on my drive way.) So I took a trip into town and got 5 gallons and filled her up. Now she wont start though. I checked the spark plugs, ignition coils and fuel line. They're all fine. The bike is mechanically and...

    Hi there everyone, I have started work on my 1978 CX500 and found some really good parts from my local motorcycle wreckers. I purchased a set of very clean carbs of an 81 GL500 the only issue is they are mounted closer together than on the 1978 CX500. I have all the pieces to mount them farther...

    I have an '81 Honda Cx500 custom. I am having some issues with her though. When I am in gear it won't go over the 3 on my rpm gauge. It hits about 2 1/2 and then kicks around and starts to buck like a bronco. I have some backfiring when it starts, when I have it in neutral it seems to be able to...

    soooooo... This weekend i had the lovely pleasure of having a driver do an un-signaled u turn in front of me. Needless to say his car suddenly became a large wall I just couldn't avoid. Many things were destroyed on the bike. All replaceable. The only thing I'm having issues finding is a decent...
