I'd suggest starting with something smaller at least during your first year if you don't have any previous experience. Get a second hand CB 250 or something like that. Having said that, the X is a really nice bike, bit tall maybe, but that depends on the rider.

Have enjoyed all the videos have recently picked up my 500x wondered if you had any tips on adjusting the drive chain and alinement on other bikes I’ve had there have always been markings to help with the adjustments I would appreciate any help.

@andrewstewart106

Apologies for late reply, just came across the post while double checking a few things 😬. Have to admit Honda have done the last couple of adjustments for me when being serviced. If I have to make an adjustment I'd need to just familiarise myself again first. From memory there's a red/green marker near the axel noting chain wear and position. I'd loosen the axel and chain position nuts, after noting if both sides are straight and equally marked first. Then adjust each chain tension nut in small 1/4 turns on each side, checking tension and alignment as you go. I don't have any tools to check alignment of the chain exactly but if the markings are in equal position on both sides and the wheel free spins straight, not at a wobbly angle, that's usually good enough for me. After tightening things back up I just check everything again and visually make sure there's no major chain alignment issues. 👍

Rafael Gil cheers for the comment. Yes the guards are Barkbuster Storm. I didn't record the guard install as I wanted to find a good position first, 2 hours later I found an ok compromise. There is a point where the tank is not touched on full lock and the cables are not interfered with. What should have been the simplest product to install ended up being a pain in the butt. I may look at handlebar risers so I can have them exactly as I want them. I also altered the original bar weights to fit the Barkbuster bracket, there was a bit more vibration than stock with just the guards installed. Well worth the money and time though. Check out the end of my Scotland part 9 video as to why.

Hey Andrew thanks for your reply. That's exactly what I thought. It could touch the tank or the windscreen. But I agree, they worth the money and time. I also considered buying the Givi ones but they are made by plastic which wouldn't protect much if bike is dropped as it happened to you. . Hope the bike is fine mate.

I've just been trying to figure out how to fit side cases to my 500x as I already have the Top box and arms. And here was the answer all the time. I'd just forgotten.

Great video! With the Dolomiti side case on, how wide does it make the rear of the bike (inches) ? Can you still lane filter when needed ? Thank you.

@andrewstewart106

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. I've currently got the rack off the bike, trialing another luggage solution. When I had the cases mounted I'd say they were around an inch wider than the mirrors on each side. They are perhaps a little large for the cb500 range, but quality and capacity are amazing. I don't like lane splitting unless I have to but the cases did give me less confidence as you have to consider if they will fit through the gap based off a rough guesstimate from the mirrors width.

Fair comment. There's nothing stopping you buying sticky retro reflective tape or the like. As long as the colour you buy is approved in your country. I'm in Australia so I would be required to have red reflectors at the rear, yellow on the sides.

Fantastic side luggage’s system. For the top back box, i’ve got the Givi mount specific for my bike, Givi M5 plate & E300N Givi box.
