Remove Engine Step by Step - Honda CX500 Part 5

- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- I show how I remove the engine in my Honda CX500 motorcycle step by step. Whether you have the custom or the deluxe, getting the motor out of a Honda CX500 or CX650 is not difficult. The process would be nearly identical for the Silverwing GL500 or GL650.

I’m so happy I found this, I bought a old 82 Honda Custom and it need a complete make over. I didn’t know where to start because I’m a new rider and learning to fix up my own bike. Very grateful for these step by step!!
You fit the description of why I made them. Enjoy your project! Thanks for watching!
I had a super easy time getting the headers off by pulling the radiator plastics off, then removing the hbox and headers together as one piece, then using a ratchet strap between the headers to twist them out.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your insights here for the benefit of others!
Monk, it's been a while since watching your channel. As a see note I will be reading your fine book again, (don't know if you remember me, Freddie_Ray. I found you on Motorcycle Men Podcast and you helped me out with getting your book). This was very informative and I don't even own a Honda. Hooked again.
Yes Sir I sure do remember! Hope you are doing well. Thanks for supporting my thing and hope you enjoy the CX project. I've got a fun moto-camping adventure series I'm planning for late summer too that should be interesting. Stay tuned. :)
Thank you for an honest to goodness laugh. You say you r following the manual but wait that long to remove the exhaust? Yea I have rebuilt 3 of these bikes working on my 4th. Removing the exhaust is the second step. It also tells you to remove the radiator and front engine mounts, at which time you can remove the tach screw. And with the front mounts removed it becomes very easy to remove the engine from the chassis. I realize this was 2 years ago so I assume you have learned much since then. Keep up the MC content my Friend I will watch. But I may be critical too LOL
Thanks for watching!
Replacing the stator on my 79 cx500. Thanks very much for this!
Thank you for watching!
Helpful video thanks gonna give it a go tomorrow!
Thanks for watching. Have fun!
Awesome really clear step by step instructions. Have 2 barn find cx400 available and seeing if it’s within my ability to do work myself. Regards from nz
CX400 is a bulletproof machine. If they have compression, they'll run forever. Thanks for watching!
Wow!! You are amazing. Good job 👍👌👏
Thanks! Hope you're enjoying the series. Your bike is worth the effort. It's still in great shape. Just needs a little TLC.
Great video,I just had your book delivered,& I’m looking forward to reading it,I have a suggestion for you when you reassemble your bike,I restored my 76 water buffalo,I used marine grease from acf50, it’s guaranteed to stay wet for 2 years,
Thank you! Where did you use the marine grease on your bike? Hope you enjoy the book.
Urban Monk TV I got the grease from eBay, book from amazon, I’ll finally get round to reading it this weekend
Urban Monk TV I used it on all the threaded bolts , just makes it easier to unbolt
@@bluehazeboy That makes good sense.
Better off on the ground doing this less chance of dropping off that stand all souse a engine lift with chains to put back in sucks working on the floor for a few but worth it .will say you got balls to do this i did my goldwing and my cx 500 went out sent off to be fixed same thing happen to mine if guy cant fix guess ill do it .right now working 83 gl500 sliverwing now apart for cafe build.
Hindsight is 20/20 they say and, while I did pull it off without issue, I think your advice to do it on the ground is sound logic. Thanks for watching!
I have 2 1980's one is a parts bike and the other runs but the frame was chopped to make it a bobber. A bobber would be fine but between them both I can have a complete stock bike. My problem is the good frame I have no title to and no way to find owner to satisfy the DMV. The frame is cut behind the shock mounts so I think I will cut the good frame and repair the one I have title to. I hate to cut a good frame but what the hell I plan on stripping every piece off to paint and or repair every thing. Wish me luck.
Welding the rear section onto the titled frame would be the way I would go too. Thanks for watching!
rubber mallet helped me get my exhaust off
The handiest of tools, don't you think?
I’m in the middle of it, following along with the service manual and this video, and I’m wondering, how the heck did that propeller shaft slide back so easy after you removed the joint bolt? Mine is pretty stuck. Any recommendations?
Sorted! I took the bike off the centre stand so that the swing arm with a line better with the final shaft and then it slid right back. All good! I bought your book can’t wait to read it!
@@carlorosales4499 Thank you! Glad you got it figured out. Hope you enjoy my story.
I dropped my engine a few weeks ago
Snapped chain guide
Ended up putting it back together
Road beautifully for about 15km
Park it, go to start it the next day....
Freaking starter clutch is slipping
Guess who gets to drop the engine again 🤦🏼♂️
Ugh! The joys of vintage motorcycle ownership! Thanks for watching!
hello a question my suzuki gs 550 motorcycle turns on but when you put the gear in and release the clochs it does not walk but it does not vote for the change and I just changed the clochs, what could it be?
Thanks for watching. I'm sorry, but I'm not fully understanding your question. Seems something is getting lost in translation.
@@UrbanMonkTV my suzuki gs 550 starts but does not walk, I changed the clutch and it remains the same
What can be?
@@brayanquintero5048 Thanks. So, when you pull in the clutch and put it into 1st gear, what happens when you feather the clutch out? Does the engine rev fine and smoothly in neutral?
@@UrbanMonkTV when I put 1 if it accelerates the engine well but does not release as if it had a bigger change but it does not drop any change
@@brayanquintero5048 I'm sorry, I'm not understanding.
