Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 18, 2018 Share Here is another custom based of the Yamaha XSR900https://www.autofabrica.com/type-11-1 Auto+Fabrica+Type+11+Prototype+9.jpgWhile I like the Ronin Buell, loved the movie too, its not my kind of bike and that SXR900 looks ugly.I would go for this and I love how they dub it the 900LC.....

Chris_ Posted October 18, 2018 Share Whats the view on jumping a (very) dead bike battery with a car? I think I know the answer but maybe I'm just over-cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Hi All Any of you riff raff have any experience on the Honda CX500 ... may be able to pick up a bargain that needs carbs cleaned, noted that headset needed tightening (?) and something else I forgot, but will find out again. Looking 14-16K ... waiting on mileage on engine. This from a commuter that joins us in the afternoons, it was a failed project that he never got to.

Allrounder Posted October 18, 2018 Share What bike is it? and how much electronics does it have? Whats the view on jumping a (very) dead bike battery with a car? I think I know the answer but maybe I'm just over-cautious. Whats the view on jumping a (very) dead bike battery with a car? I think I know the answer but maybe I'm just over-cautious.

And syncing carbs is a bitch. I dont know about the others, but I wont do it. Why was it a project in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymann Posted October 18, 2018 Share CX500's aren't bad bikes hey, but they did have a bit of a bad reputation regarding the cam chain, chain tensioner and there is a mechanical seal that gives trouble. It's called the "Triple Bypass". As a result, Honda riders speak of them in hushed tones! https://motofaction.org/motorcycles/honda-cx-gl/triple-or-quadruple-bypass-cx500-cx650-gl500-gl650/ If these have all been addressed with the factory upgrades, or by someone who knows what they are doing, they really aren't bad bikes at all.
