just bought a '82 cbx550f this week, my second motorbike (first one was a xr250r) and already having lots of fun with it. The bike even came with a owners workshop manual so maintenance should be a piece of cake(i hope)

Hey everybody:

Just a note to say that after 4 long hard months, I finally got my '83 CBX 550f on the road. Seems hard to beleive that 4 months ago, It was a frame, a blown motor and 3 large boxes of parts and pieces. Now it is a smooth running work of art. Thamks to all who helped me restore my beauty. Even my wife is jealous now

Take care and ride safe friends

Salut Yasu,

J'ai bien essayde t'馗rire en anglais, mais j'ai pr馭駻renoncer car cela aurait 騁une catastrophe et en plus tu nous en courage t'馗rire en n'importe quelle langue. Cela va te faire plaisir qu'un petit fran軋is t'馗rive dans sa langue natale.

J'ai moi aussi une 400 CBX FII, que j'ai achet馥 une somme modique il y a quatre ans, malgrun kilom騁rage inconnu et certainement 駘ev elle fonctionne encore tr鑚 bien et m'apporte beaucoup de satisfaction, car j'ai d駛parcouru pr鑚 de 20 000 Km sans presque aucune panne.

Je profite de ton site fabuleux pour lancer quelques appels.

- Cette moto semble assez rare en Frace, quelqu'un sait-il combien d'exemplaires ont 騁commercialis駸 en France ou en Europe ?
- De plus, je recherche d駸esp駻駑ent de la documentation sur cette moto, manuel d'entretien, manuel technique d'atelier etc... (fran軋is ou anglais).

V tous les utilisateurs de 400/550 Cbx.

Since we've had a couple of questions about exhausts recently I thought I'd mention Motad, who produce road-legal systems for a wide variety of bikes. Their website is at http://www.motad.co.uk and the part number you want is MBX5. Prices vary with supply and demand, of course, but they're not expensive for the CBX.

I've had my CBX a couple of years now, which means two salt-ridden British winters, but the exhaust is only just starting to show signs of corrosion. Excellent, especially since the exhaust was on the bike when I got it.

Hope that helps people,

Look at www.marving.com
It's an italian producer who made fantastic exhausts.

Hello

I am trying to locate an original seat, tank, or fairing for my CBX 550F. These parts must be in good condition please. Even if you know someone else who has any of these parts, please let me know. The bike has enormous sentimental value and I have been looking hard for these parts!

I just purchased two CBX550F's. One has 4,500 km and the other has 14,800 km's. Both are in mint condition except the exhaust pipes. One has a small rust hole and will not pass inspection and the other's exhaust is very rusted.

I went to Honda and they said my bike does not exist. They have no record of Honda making this bike. I drove it there and all the mechanics came out to look at it. But they can't find the exhaust. They find the CB550 made in 77, 78.

I can't find any after market company's that has heard of this bike. Looking on the internet this bike was very popular the world over, but it was never sold in the U.S..

Question.... Any idea how I find the exhaust system and how do I get it imported into the U.S.?

I would appreciate any information you can give me.

Thanks.

Have a nice riding.

I have just been given a '86 CBX550F2 Integra, Blue/white. It has worn No.3 big end bearing, but my friend gave me a good crankshaft, also with a very slighty worn No.3 big end bearing. Is the a common failing with these bikes? Not much work to do and I will have it on the road for spring/summer.

Regards

Nigel in NZ

P.S. Any other NZ owners lurking here?

Hi!

I've just bought a 1982 CBX400F - 35000 km. The bike has not been running the last 9 years - so I wonder what kind of inspections/services the bike needs. Of course, I changed the engine oil (SAE 15-40W - low priced car engine synthetic) and the oil filter. I also replaced the front wheel tire to a fresh one. The one at the rear is old but unworned - should I replace that one as well? The front wheel brake cylinder rubber rings (excuse my english) is also replaced. The rear brake cylinder rubber rings are also to be replaced.

What else are to be replaced? I've made my first ride and everything runs OK. I was very surprised when I got "a kick in the back" when the engine got up between 8000-11000 rpm. In a few seconds the speed was doubled. It sounds like the engine will fall apart any second. I was also trying, on my first ride, to reach the top speed, but I gave up at 145 km/h since the wind seems to be troublesome and the road was partly wet.

The forks are leaking oil, not that much but anyway it doesn't seem to be right, so I bought new replacement parts ("pack boxes"?). It seems to be quite tricky to dismount and replace the stuff, so if you done this before I would be happy to receive some advice!

What else to inspect? How do I know when its time to do something about the cam chain? Can you hear that? When the bike is in between normal drive and changing to either retardation or accelerating there is a clicking sound from the engine, it seems to be something loose/gradual failure!?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Hello, when I'm braking hard there is a clicking sound in the brakes. Is this because normal because of the anti-dive system or it this a problem I should deal with.

looking for the small "coalpieces". Two of them are loose and they have to be replaced, otherwise I allways have to run to start the bike. Does anyone have some information about this please mail me.

I think you mean "carbon brushes".
If you can't get any then you can make them by cutting/filing down some similar size brushes.

What, the whole thing?

Presumably you mean the ISBN and publishing details, in which case see the post two slots below yours.

Jim: either get one direct from Honda (via a dealership or over the net), or get hold of a Haynes manual. Find them on http://www.haynes.com

A different JIM (note CAPS) shouted:

"DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY A NEW BLUE & WHITE PETROL TANK (UK MODEL)OR BRAKE PARTS?"

Try Dave Silver Spares. I don't know about the tank, but they should be able to help you with the brake parts. Get hold of them at http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk.

Now for MY question. My starter has stopped working. The relay works, and power is getting through to the motor, but the starter clutch assembly doesn't turn (I've had a look under the cover to make sure). The starter motor had been turning over weakly for some time. Is more it likely that the starter motor has died or that the starter clutch has siezed?

Thanks,
