My bike is a 1980 model, with Murray's Carbs and Rae-San ignition. I bought it last fall, and have been working on it for the last few weeks. I haven't really done any major mechanical work though, mostly electrical. The only thing was cleaning the carbs, as the old fuel had been siting for...

Ok! I posted here once before - got great info, ran all the tests, made all the conclusions. Then winter and work happened - but now spring and I have a bit of time so I want to get my bike in good running condition for a full season of riding. Heres where I'm at. Running a 1979 CX500 custom -...

Howdy. I'm about to begin some sort of bypass operation on my 1982 Silverwing to replace the camchain/tensioner and mechanical seal, but here's my quandary: my stator works just fine, so should I replace it because what the heck, I'm already in there? It's not the money I'm worried about, it's...

Some of you may recall that I got a 1978 CX running that had been sat for 30 years. I was concerned about the noise it was making and after having a finger through the inspection port, I discovered the manual tensioner was sat in its lowest position. Then I pushed the cam chain...that was...

The current project (CX500 79 CDI) I am undertaking seems to have become a little more involved than I had originally thought it would and I have now dropped the engine in order to check the cam chain and replace the mechanical seal. Whilst it wasn't too hard to do, I do have a few questions...

Hey all! I am new here, as I am also pretty new to motorcycling in general. I know there are plenty of posts in regards to a triple bypass but none of them really help me decide what i should do.. I have owned my 1980 CX500D for almost a year now, and have learned quite a bit mechanically on...

Hello, I'm in the middle of a stator swap on my 1982 Cx500. The engine is out, and I'm trying to get the rear casing off, but it seems to be stuck. The water pump cover has been removed, along with the impeller, and all of the rear casing bolts are out. The rear casing is loose, and can move...

Hi all, I have a 1979 or 1980 CX500 (Not the custom model) and whilst I've got the engine apart, I've been convinced I should replace the stator, mostly because it looks like some numpty has damaged the wiring from it by pinching it with a bolt. I found this one on eBay, is this everything I...

Hi all! I'm doing a quadruple bypass, I've been looking and can't seem to find a detailed post (with pictures) where the g47 is replaced with a new g47. Everyone is doing the g8 and replacing the CDI it seems.. I already purchased an aftermarket g47 but it's a little different looking than the...

Hey folks, I am currently finishing up my first triple bypass on my 82 custom and all seems to be going well. I had a slight problem with the cam sprocket mount shifting while removing the sprocket, but managed to fix it thanks to the valuable info on this site. I am about to put the rear cover...

I've been lurking on this here forum for a while now, and it has allowed me to successfully accomplish many mechanical undertakings by my lonesome. I own a 78 cx500, and I just recently completely a triple bypass. SOOO here's the issue After getting engine back in frame and putting the bike...

I'm Nick, from Sydney, Australia. I've owned this red CX for around six months now, and have put around 5,000km on it, for a total of around 62,500km. I'd always intended to make it into a bit of a project, but it's been my only transport, so time to get it of the road has been limited...

Well the seasons have changed. Hail came down today along with all the leaves on the trees in pretty much all of Ontario and I really can't see a better time to commence triple bypass surgery. I have ordered most parts needed but seem to be stuck finding a cam chain (14401-MA1-013). Are there...

The parts list(s) and somewhat different information seem to be scattered throughout the sites and the wiki page needs some formatting help(imo) so I'm going to compile a linear parts list here and am looking for some feedback if this is correct or not(I'm not affiliated with partzilla, but I...

In changing the cam chain on my '78 cx 500 I think I got the timing off. What do I need to do to get the timing back on? Thanks for your help!!!

Hi I'm considering doing a triple bypass. If I do not need my Cam Chain or my Stator to be replaced at the moment, I won't do it (money issues). But if I really need it replaced, I will. Here are some pictures I'm not sure where this washer came from, I found it while I was removing the...

I was attempting to remove my rear cover for a triple bypass and one of the bolts snapped. How would I be able to remove the threaded part? How would I be able to remove my rear cover?

Hey guys, Im pretty new to this, i got my first bike a couple days ago, it's a 1979 CX500. When i bought the bike my friend and i checked the oil and it looked normal, but now a couple days later the oil has a lighter milky tent to it. Im nervous that it may need the mechanical seal replaced. I...

I started the triple bypass process on one of my 2 turbos. Learning a lot about the bike. Anyway, Engine is out. That was an interesting experience but it actually went pretty good. I did not set any speed records, LOL. But it is out. I have questions in the following areas: 1) I...
