Thanks for the detailed explanation of the whole remove and reinstall procedure! Small improvement on the 2022 model (CB500F): the shifter linkage already has a small white dot for the orientation.
You're saying this to a guy who owns and maintains 7 bicycles, haha I know what you mean. It would be nice if a belt drive conversion were possible, at least.
@@EndlessMoneyPits lucky my can of brake cleaner was empty lol. I used hot water with dish soap as degreaser with a chain brush. Turned out beautifully 👍
From what I've read, you should not use acetone because it will dry out and ruin the o-rings in the chain. It also drys faster than any other solvent, so probably wouldn't work as well anyway. Kerosene is safe and cheap, just keep it away from sparks and flames.
They dont fit the split links to the 500 in the UK
You're right, it should be a riveted link. I already have a new chain and sprockets that I will install in an upcoming video.
Thank you from Manchester England your videos are the best l have seen.
Thank you!

Such a well-made video man, thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Happy I can help!
Deserves more views! Thanks
Thank you. Working on the views part...
Very helpful! Where can I get a PDF service booklet for the cb500x? I would like to know which screws are tightened to which force.
I bought a used service manual on eBay for about $35. Not sure where you can get the PDF.
chains are a lot of maintenance i miss my shaft drive there so much easier to maintain anyway great video thanks

Just found your channel thanks..
Nice tri color. That's the one that made me want a 500r in the first place.
Thank u so much. Much appreciated
Happy to help!
Thank you! Excellently made video. Honda should put this video on their website.
Thank you
thank you .from Malaysia. ❤
You're welcome!
Just waiting for the slack adjustment vid
Alright, I wasn't sure which one to work on next. I think I can finish that one by Friday.
@@EndlessMoneyPits awesome! I don't know how to do that on my cbr500r or the intervals. Got a 2020.
My service manual doesn't go to 2020 but I'll find out if the procedure is the same for your bike or not when I script the video.
Thank you so much
You're welcome :)
Think its ok to use brake cleaner if thats all i have?
No, brake cleaner will dry out the rubber o-rings in the chain. Most degreasers will work.

That works too, just takes a little longer. Good job!
What engine sliders are those?
I got them on eBay years ago but it looks like nobody makes them anymore.
Can you use acetone?
From what I've read, you should not use acetone because it will dry out and ruin the o-rings in the chain. It also drys faster than any other solvent, so probably wouldn't work as well anyway. Kerosene is safe and cheap, just keep it away from sparks and flames.
Where did you source those stands?
I just added amazon links for both stands in the video description. Hope that helps!
@@EndlessMoneyPits thanks man, shipping is crazy toCanada haha. I will see what I can find locally
Hmmm this probably doesn’t change much through the years… it does🥲
Helpful thx!
