Honda CB500X Review

With over 2 years of ownership, it's time to review my 2015 Honda CB500x. In 2019 Honda updated the CB500x, improving and altering a few features compared to this original version. This review will be from a used bike perspective. In short, I love this bike! If you're looking for a budget-friendly bike? This model could be for you. Used, you can pick one up at a great price. It's also cheap and...

    I did this lane a couple of weeks ago in my Skoda Yeti, East to West. The rock steps are worse now. Might go back to do it west to east the same as you did, got better tyres since the first trip. Maybe also not in the dark alone at 11pm this time but it was fine... 👀🤣

    I reset my tripmeter to 0. When I do about 300 miles, I clean and lube the chain every time. I've been using simple kerosene to clean the chain. It's inexpensive & very effective, recommended by many motorcycle mechanics. Works well to clean my aluminium rims and spokes. I'm using Motul chain lube so far. When that can runs out I'll use Dupont "Chain Saver" wax lubricant. I live in Southern California. I try to avoid riding in the rain, although sometimes I get caught in it. Am considering purchasing one of those spiral brushes. Looks a bit fiddley to get on the chain, though. Thanks for posting this video.

      I found a bucket of warm water helped. Leave the spray bottle in it for around 20-30 mins. The ACF 50 should thin down a little. I made the mistake once of using water straight from the kettle and melted the bottle, never sprayed right after that. I then moved to a gravity fed gun for a compressor.

    Thanks for the great vid Mate. I recently just bought a 2nd hand 2020 CB500X here in Australia. Previous owner had it kited out with the full Rally Raid Lvl 1 system. It absolutely smooths out the tracks and the road! I haven't done a lot of, off roading yet, but the bit I have done, the bike handles wonderfully. The bike did come with Tubeless "Mitas E-07+ ENDURO TRAIL" Front and rear tires, which definitely help with grip in the rough and the slippery stuff.

Unfortunately Mount Snowdon was completely hidden. Now, 44 years later, I prefer to sit astride the saddle of my gorgeous 2021 Honda CB 500x (Grand Prix red) and letting it do all the work - half a world away in a state ‘down under’ where the words ‘snow’ and ‘mountain’ refer to unknown concepts. Thank you for the great video.
