Great video. I have a 1978 Honda CX 500 too. I plan to use mine for touring around Western Australia so its good to see someone else riding longer distances in theirs. It makes me optimistic I might not have to walk home. I will remember to add some spark plugs to my tool kit just in case I have to change the plugs ;-)

Hahaha, great fun!🤣👍 Nice bike, and shaft drive as well. Since I got my Virago, all my plans for future bikes involves shaft drive! 🤘😁

Great video! I always wondered why my battery was flat following a service. Since using the plastic clothes pegs I haven't had this problem. Cheers!

The CX 500 is a legendary bike and so far ahead of its time. You'd never know to look at it that yours could be over 40 years old. Great idea with the peg, btw, though, it occurred to me, since you're installing new plugs, why not just drain out all the old electricity and refill with new? And don't forget to flush. I've always been a big fan of flushing. Never liked mixing the old oil/electricity with the new!😉😂

Last video I watched you talke about kilometres and I saw you drivin on the left so I was wondering,...South Africa it all makes sense now. Thank you for the video! great to see your passion for this bike. My mom would call it your "knuffelbaby" wich is Dutch for hug baby. I'm planning to get a Cx 500 custom this tuesday (as my relaxing bike, it's hard for me to take it easy on the SV650 '00😅

Absolutely correct, South Africa. My home language (Afrikaans) and Dutch is not that far apart - we should be able to understand each other just fine. Yes, you'll be able to take relaxing rides on the CX. Hope you get it! Those SV's sounds so good...👌 Thanks for watching!

Enjoyed the humour Christoph. 😂 I find that you need a very high quality peg to stop the electricity from draining and it is both difficult and expensive to get such high quality pegs these days. So another option for the spark plugs is make sure that when you remove the spark plugs leads keep them above the coils to stop the flow of electricity….then the peg is not needed. By the way…any news on the cbx. I really felt your pain on the last video being an owner myself of such a superb motorcycle….Ross

🤣 so funny! Jip, a quality peg is the way to go... The CBX: The engine casing is all welded up. Greg now needs to put everything together, and get it back in the frame. I am hoping to get it back before the end of the year....but I don't think that'll happen😔 Thanks for your comment Ross! Take care.

You made a common mistake, forgot the flat washer when re-install the oil filter assembly, it goes as follows: transfer bolt to the case, spring, flat washer and then the filter, the washer is to prevent the spring getting into the filter through the rubber ring, other than that you did good!, your CX seems to be in great condition, congrats!!!

Do a full flush by filling new oil after draining, run for about half an hour, then drain again and fill up with new oil again, new filter and you are done, Off course it is expensive as you need two sets of oil but you will be satisfied after seeing the oil that you have flushed out ( the color) comparing to the new oil. You need to spent money and be passionate when handling any classical machines.

17:05, I know this was a joke, but for something as simple as changing a spark plug you have beginners watching this video to see how to things work. Funny for people who know what is happening but confusing to new people.
