    Hello, I am new to bikes and picked up a 1982 Honda CX500c. It was under 0 degrees f when I picked up the bike so we assumed the battery was dead but I have replaced the battery and cannot get the bike to start. As I said, I replaced the battery (went from a 14L-A2 to an ETX15L) and I also...

    Hello CX500 World! I'm hoping the fine members of the CX500 can convince me not to throw my newly acquired 1982 GL500 Silverwing Interstate off a cliff! I'd have to go down to the bluffs as cliffs are a little hard to find in Minnesota. I little history on how I got to this point..... In...

    Hi guys. I recently picked up an '80 CX500D as my first bike and have been lurking the forum ever since.

    A while back my bike wouldn't start (1981 CX500C), and hasn't started since. So I sent my carbs to Larry, they came back perfect. I cleaned my tank and all the rust from inside and replaced the gas. I got a new fuel line, spark plugs, and charged my battery. And I also got an Ignitech CDI unit...

    I am hoping that some one can help me out. I Just bought a 1979 cx 500. It's getting fuel, has spark, and 160 compression on each side but wont even sputter or even try to start.
