@@eletronicagomes4427 Hi. Yeah they are great bikes. We managed to get 63.6hp out this engine 😊 BCR Performance did an amazing job. Are these bikes popular in Brazil?

I saw your video tuning this motor up and achieving an impressive power. And yeah, CB500 Twin is very popular here in Brazil (assembled here using PC26 motor and Brembo's brake system, from 1997 to 2005). People here call this bike as 'helicopter' when using a racing exhaust system 😂😂😂 @@SuggyRacing

@@willkearney635 I've not been back since then, its a very long drive for me to Branda Hatch. I managed to do 59 sec laps so i would 'hope' now i would get better than that if i went back.

@SuggyRacing hope to be starting my CB journey next year . Find your videos very helpful mate . Much appreciated 🙌🏼

@willkearney635 Yeah its mega fun! It's quite hard to get used to the pace of racing with others who have done it before. While these bikes aren't fast, they are all the same speed, so it's very competitive! Glad the videos help and thanks for the support 👍

Cheers 👍 You can see the results of the tuning on my channel in the latest video

Cheers. Its just the old go pro heros, the small square ones. I use them as they are almost bullet proof. I have one on the front under the number board and one mounted to the rear frame, facing backwards. Always captures amazing footage

@SuggyRacing thanks , very helpful 👍🏼

@@marekc391 No worries. Its probably the worst job, along with swingarm bearings. The easiest way is to weld directly onto the bearing race, and the heat from the weld shrinks the race, it falls out easily after that

@@MyZxcvb12 Thank you. Yeah a lot went into the making of the engine. Ben always does a mega job 😎

@@iannathanson6014 I know what you mean. I guess its down to the fact there are more cars on the road, more garages in competition for the work? 🤷‍♂️ I personally hate working on cars, bikes are far more enjoyable 😀

@@paulpaul5689 thank you, yeah they are mega fun

@@jbean530 Funny you should say that, there is a guy in Netherlands who had done exactly that and fitted a turbo to his cb500. I wish i could see how he did it all. Maybe one day he will put it on KZbin to see. I've only seen photos. It would be fun to ride!

@@russelljones-d4h Thanks mate appreciate the time taken to drop us a comment. Yeah I'm pretty happy with it. The thing is everyone is used to hearing about these monster superbikes that can do 200hp+ nowadays, so 63hp seems pathetic in comparison, but its all relative to the bike and engine isn't it. For a 2000 bike twin cylinder, it's not bad really 😀 Yeah the guys did a mega job with it all. Really happy and i learned loads by doing it with them. Ben said there's loads more you can do with these too. You never know, we may do a V2 in the future with the engine 😁👍

@@peter7624 Thanks Peter. Yeah he makes it look easy, i learned a lot just by watching. Reaally enjoyed making the videos and seeing how its done. Did you see the finished result? The video is on my channel 😎👍

The link to the full video is on the description. Theres a graph on there too 👍

@@WILKSVILLE cheers 😎👌

@@bradharles4737 Dunlop Sportsmart TT. They are decent for the bike. Good grip, last a long time and don't cost a fortune. 👍

@ ahh thank you very much.👍

@@sidecarbod1441 Hey. Thanks for the comment. Yeah we used assembly lube as the engine was going to be sat a while after being built and it helps with it being slightly thicker. 👍 Glad you like the video 😎

@@cnkmoto The tyres were new that year, but i had used them in a track day before. So weren't fresh but not old. I would say you would be ok, as long as the tread isn't worn away too much. You need a lot tread in the rain to shift the water.

yea, tread is fine, almost new. well, we’ll see, still better than not having any rains 😁

@ Yeah they should be fine. I swear all the talk about tyre age is to get us to buy new ones all the time. As long as they were stored ok, they'll be alright👍

Ha ha i know! That's my concern too 😂

I'd imagine they would be similar but probably run a lot smoother and easier to set up on the dyno, with it being injection. 👍

@@tonybyrne7573 You mean to put it back on? I probably just didn't show it in the video, but its definitely on there 😁👍 yeah Ben has built and modified so many of these engines.

If you look carefully, you will see the cam chain in the middle of the crank at 7:04

@@Myntsyntes There's a big following for the cb500 for racing, so i just used the bike I had already. I got this bike for £500 in terrible condition. So it was fun to do a complete rebuild. Thanks fot the support, appreciate it 👍

@@SuggyRacing Can't argue with that. Keep up the good work!

@ Ha ha thanks mate appreciate it. Ill get the walk around video out soon 👍

I believe Honda claimed 57 bhp for the CB 500 twin....that would be Honda Italy, apparently Italian horses are not what they should be,

@sirboss2467 Yeah there's no way they are that high. Even if they measured that reading at the crank. I think that was a bit of a marketing estimate😂

@@sergiotalves thank you, much appreciated 👍

Now come the race, 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👌​@@SuggyRacing

@@johna6968 Yeah I think he was until he set up his own company at P3

It won't even come near the limits of the bottom end

@@davidwedlock2622 yeah shouldn't be a problem, I think we would only see issues if we changed to bigger pistons and didn't put stronger rods in. I'll soon find out 😁

@@mociczyczki Hi. Yeah Thundersport doesn't exist anymore. But yeah, the other clubs like No Limits don't accept tuned bikes. I would have to use this in an open race class. I've still got my other standard race bike 😁

@ this cb with 63 whp now be similar fast to sv 650 especially that is lighter than stock do you weight it with full tank i wuesss 175-180 kg full tank it should do 12-12,2 sec e.t. 1/4 mile at close to 170 km/h stock is 13,3 sek /156 km/h 👌🏻 wonder how long weakest part of engine whichstsnd this power assuming relatively fast riding for sure less than stock but be how much 🤷🏻‍♂️🍿 i stay with me stock cb 500 power its lil sad that manufactpry didint make more lowand midrsnge torq /power but it is what it is peak is ok for me with stock bike 👌🏻 🍿 but 55 nm at 5 k rpm instead of 47 nm at 8000 rpm be amazing like for me but i dont like change stock setup use to it already and scream /rev the 💩 out of it all the time 🤭🤷🏻‍♂️ otherwise it didnt move to fast 🤷🏻‍♂️👌🏻🍿

Yes hopefully it will keep up with the SV bikes now. I'm not sure what it weighs, but it would be interesting to find out. Hopefully lighter than an SV bike. The bottom end of the bike is standard, so I'm hoping the extra power doesn't create any problems. I'll soon find out as I thrash it on track 🤣

@@sidecarbod1441 Ha ha yeah, ain't nobody got time to wait 500 miles for it to be done. Yeah @p3tuning know their stuff 👍😎

@@11Hirako Hi. This K&N filter had to be adapted to make it fit the carbs. It's too large for the original CB500 carbs, mine are from 900rr fireblade. The filter needed to be cut and reshaped to suit. There's a lot of work that I did on the bike, making custom bits to make it work. I'm sure there are others out there that may fit. I know DNA filters can make one to whatever size you need.

Thank you very much !

@@MrTench8 The bottom end is all standard on the bike. All we did was top end, cylinder head work, cams and flywheel. Yeah it's a light tune, there's loads more Ben could do with it to add more. The CB is pretty under powered for a bike as standard. It is old I suppose and was only meant for delivering pizza 🍕 🤣

its at whell at crsnk be 70+ 👌🏻 so more like 140+ bhp/L

This cb500 version has 499cc, only the newer versions have smaller engines than that. And it is a two cylinder - engine. You can't really compare that power/displacement level to one of a 4 cylinder- superbike. Better compare it to an MT-7 or something like that. (Quoted from the internet: "(...)USA mt07 (...) puts down 63.76 hp and 46.55 torque stock in North America")

@@debt_slav3381 Thank you 😎

Ha ha ha, cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed the videos. I can't take all praise, BCR Performance and P3 Tuning did loads to help me with this build. 😎

@@kepamurray1845 Ha ha yeah exactly. They will be like.... 'What the hell is going on here, he should be behind us?' 😂

@@marcswinnen9100 Thanks mate. Appreciate the support 👍

@@marcswinnen9100 Send it to BCR I'm sure I could do something 😁 The Ninja 400 is pretty quick alongside these bikes. I did a few races with them, and they are hard to keep up with 😁

you are talking about a 2 stroke! Cant compare with this engine.

@@geertmulder6891 Exactly

Well, as said the CR is a 2 stroke and the KTM is 690cc so not sure what your point is .

@@ekspatriat Hi, yeah as the others have said. It's a different kind of engine 👍

I don't think this video is about a CR500 or a 690 Duke, neither of which would be eligible for CB500 class racing

@@rafaellastracom6411 Thank you, yeah pretty happy with it. There's loads more that's could be done too. Which makes me wonder how far it could be pushed 😂
