[@moto-mate.]

Really great to see someone showing the love for the smaller bikes. My wifes little ER5 is a real guilty pleasure 🙂

[@patriciahutson]

Love the Little Onda !! I can only sit here and giggle as i ride a Tricity 125cc!!!! Now over 70 and i love the LACK of Horsepower, so refreshing.

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Totally agree 👍. I bought my Classic 350 Because of it's 20bhp NOT in spite of it. Such fun being able to use 100% of the available "performance" 😊😊

[@Roadrash.750]

CL500 is a great bike. Never looked at one till I had one as a courtesy bike and now I want one.

[@thisandthat1265]

I bought a Seal 500 after watching your video. It doe,s everything that i wanted. So i thank you for a honest review on the bike. I love it.

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks mate , appreciate it … glad you like it , I love mine

[@jamesblackmore7872]

Thank you for raising the sensor light issue. I think it is euro5+ related from what I can gather. I see some end cans saying euro5+ compliant, I think they might have different catalytic converters in them to previous ones. Obviously cost more. Really interested to hear how it pans out as I am in the market for one and would like to understand more before I take the plunge. I knew nothing about this before your video so really appreciate the heads up. Off to do more digging but would love any updates/thoughts.

[@roymctarsney5655]

You make me laugh, Mr. Fish! I hope you get everything all sorted out! Ride safe…

[@Mrfish2015]

Nearly all sorted now , 👍

[@ifindoubtbailout70]

Glad I've not updated my 2020 500x for the new one now, more electronics to go wrong😜I've completely modified mine, including the end can. Just trade it in for a 2022 bike & mod it up😋

[@Rhodi88]

Had my NX in mid June and done 1400miles so far - absolutely love it. Keeping it as standard tho

[@Mrfish2015]

Yeah it’s tempting 😝

[@CCooke-nm2be]

Check and see if Healtech do a plug in bypass sensor . I fitted one on my own bike . 60 seconds fits it . Easy on easy off . No warranty worries 😄

[@Mrfish2015]

May be the way , thanks

[@grumpsrides42]

Just a thought, for the NX. Usually, the sensor bypass is a 'plug in' device. You could fit it, and, if needs be, remove it/replace the sensor when the bike goes in for any warranty work?! I know it's a faff, but.....

[@Mrfish2015]

Yeah probably the best bet

[@r0hon]

I run an Oxford solar charger on my old gb400 and it works well.

Got a NX500, fitted a Miv end can absolutely no issues 3500 miles later, could be just a dicky sensor..the Nx is a fabulous bike btw

[@Mrfish2015]

That’s what I’m hoping

[@tpc8556]

It is hardly Honda fault that you put on an end can for CB500X on to a NX500 and it does not work as you intended

[@Mrfish2015]

They should inform their dealers was my point , the dealer knew the can was going on if they knew they would have told me rather than having all this back and forth …

[@tpc8556]

@@Mrfish2015 Your Honda dealer should have told you the risk, the problem is not the sensor not working but because it is, because the cb500x is euro 5 bike and the nx500 is euro 6 the sensor notices the difference in the end can flow

I have the higher seat , still poo but bearable lol

[@PaulBrooke-qo3hn]

Do honda still fit the tracker, if so that could be the drain

[@Mrfish2015]

Not on this model … I would have not had it anyway after the africatwin

[@Steve-motorcycles]

My only bike problems is not having time to get out riding often enough 😂 Hopefully, the NX will be ok as it’s a great little bike. However, in the unlikely event that you do have to sell it, take the Transalp for a spin. I think it may suit you well

[@jonathanambler]

I got a new NX end of February. After 3 weeks engine light came on and it went into limp mode. Took it back and it wasn’t showing’s any error codes so they disconnected battery for a minute reconnect it and lite went out. It did this 3 times in 2 months. Anyway apparently the early NX,s were rushed out as demand was so high and some were fitted with an ECU that was programmed for the far east and not Europe. Apparently petrol over there is a different blend so the bike was thinking it had bad fuel. They changed my ECU 2 weeks ago and it seems ok, even feels a bit smoother. Just wondering if this maybe your issue

[@Mrfish2015]

I have heard this somewhere else .. mine doesn’t go into limp mode but it’s a possibility

[@EdwinSnel]

My nx 500 gifs engine Light when battery is low or disconnectet. After 2 trips it resets itself. Its a very good bike👍🏍

[@Mrfish2015]

I wish it would reset itself 😂 .. but yes a very good bike

[@RGSABloke]

Fishy, I feel your pain.

[@aidens04]

Such a shame especially when Honda are meant to be so reliable and bomb proof! Let's hope you get it sorted but definitely needs to go if not

I’ll figured it out but yes a pain

[@debbieclegg2485]

Oh shite ... so sorry to hear this.. infuriating when these things go wrong.. but anyhoo, the Cub is the go to original smile per mile... Hope Honda get the NX sorted (can they lend you something though? ) ...

[@Mrfish2015]

I hope they sort it out, as I really like the bike

[@tedtheturbot]

mate i've a honda click 150i(yay), up graded the front pad and line, clutch spring, gearbox weights, suspension, tyres, oil, air filter....with the gearbox mod she does an extra 15kms/hr (no restrictor bounce) and the acceleration is much better. Tell you what the gearbox and the front suspension upgrade (internal oil, springs & seals only) was was the most improvement, with rear suspension 3rd. Front pad upgrade and braded line much better brake feel.

Bloody sensors lol .How do you find the high seat Mr fish I went on a 270 mile trip around devil's Bridge Sunday. And my poor ass lol I've got the standard seat would you recommend the higher seat 😊

[@Mrfish2015]

I can’t remember the standard but I wouldn’t call the higher one luxury biking

[@ifindoubtbailout70]

@johnj2766 I'd recommend a cheap 3d mesh cover, they work just fine on my CB500X 😉

[@ighost2605]

I don't think that changing that sensor is going to solve the problem. But the biggest question is how the manufacturers of top cans have put it in market before checking its behavior. Luckily, after reading your complaint (and some of other NX owners), did not make an order. Still, somehow, I do like the original sound, just would like to have it with a little more bass. Cheers

[@Mrfish2015]

It probably want change but have to go through the motions to make sure

That is the reason i am not selling my Queen. Rocking tubes, less electronics....installed nuclear powerplant in it (PIAA 2000 series spots on crashbars and floods on the handlebars). Only downside is lack of free space to hide wiring at front since i have a gps and original fogs already installed. Should have stayed wit Your red Africa or just move to a model with throttle by wire. Decisions decisions....

Sorry to hear the NX is giving you sub par vibes. I would fit a by pass - they are often just simple plug and play - if you get a warranty issue just remove it when you take the bike in they wont know. Maybe you should get an Africa Tw............no, just kiddin!

Put a screen on the Seal and job done, no need for the NX. Some countries in the EU can not even change exhausts or will fail MOT. Honda are forced to comply with emission standards, thank Greta.

Never put a screen on lol .. much better airflow without.. its a great mini tourer in the dry lol

So you've cancelled all of that because you don't want to put the original exhaust. Who needs the gadgetry anyway, didn't u n I just ride regardless in our youth? 😊
