Honda CX500 Cafe Racer- Engine rebuild- Ignition system - Episode 27

Honda CX500 Cafe Racer: In this video I continue to rebuild the unique V twin engine in this Honda CX500 Cafe racer project. With the back cover on, it's time to reassemble the ignition system. This Honda CX500 Cafe Racer s based on the 1982 Australian released "Shadow" and unlike other models, was fitted with a transistorized ignition instead of the fault prone CDI system. I will show how to fit all components, how to set the static timing, and how to diagnose an incorrectly fitted system, which is critical to correct operation of the Honda CX500 engine, and I will document process in detail, including torque values, using the factory service manual (FSM). Please continue to watch as I rebuild this 1982 Honda CX500 engine, documenting the whole process in great detail, and discuss what I plan to do to convert the Honda CX500 form a stock bike to a cafe racer, with a GSXR front end fork conversion and full engine rebuild, spoke wheels, as well as other modifications. This will be a very detailed video series that will show how the Honda CX500 is dismantled then reassembled, and all mechanical aspects of dismantling and rebuilding the Honda CX500 engine will be detailed and documented. I aim to do things like key relocation under seat, relocation of the battery, removal of the air box and rebuilding of the carburetors to include velocity stacks, removal of the H box and replace with straight through exhaust pipes, fitting Motogadget components like the M-Unit Blue, Motogadget Mini, instruments, and a whole range of other mods.The end result should be a unique Honda CX500 Cafe Racer.
