Honda CB500X

Rideandfly I bought my CB500X last spring put about 4500 miles on her . Fuel mileage is outstanding! I like liter bikes but for me a lighter twin platform that can get me around the block or coast to coast and around 6K well it's a great bike. With this price point you suffer a little on the front end suspension. I've found pushing her hard through the corners at speed and having uneven pavement causes front end chatter. Really ups your concentration and pucker factor as the speed and lean angle increases. I'm going to install new springs, fork emulators and adjustable pre load caps which will help. I'm going to shoe on those new Bridgestones which should be an improvement over the Pirelli Scorpions.  I'll be riding my CB 500X to the Vermont Star get togethers maybe I'll catch you there and we can compare notes.

Wardie,

I'm having lots of fun with this bike. Hope the Hagon springs fix the front forks, will see when they come in. We have not attended a Star event, yet. Hopefully we can compare notes, will see!

Every time I see more pictures the urge to pick one up intensifies.

Understand!!!!  Every time I ride it Happy I bought it, too!!!!!

Received a set of Hagon Fork progressive springs and 7.5W fork oil.  The OEM springs are a little firm for me, and understand these springs work better from riders in the UK. Will install soon!
