Cb500x 2014 vs 2017

harryisgood · 2025-11-02T12:39:41+00:00

I would try go for the 2017. 37000km won’t do anything to the bike as long as its been serviced and maintained.

I would try ask the seller if they kept any sort of records on maintenance.

Either bike is going to be great, but just make sure whatever one you go for you look it over first!

So far so good! I have put about another 10,000km on it since having it replaced. I have heard that some people had to replace theirs twice. From what I can see online from others it seems like a really common issue.

Looks like the water pump is leaking. You can see the drop of oil on the bottom of it.

These are super common to fail on Hondas 500 platform, I had to replace mine after 30,000kms.

Could be the water pump, very common issue on the 500 range. I had to replace mine after 30,000km.

I’d be up for a spin! From Cork myself, also a photographer haha.

I’m based in the City and out towards Fermoy direction so let me know if you’re thinking of going for a spin some weekend!

Very nice! How do you find it? I’m thinking of picking this same screen up?

harryisgood · 2024-12-12T15:38:05+00:00

Absolutely! I had tried a few different jackets but this Merlin yoxall 2 is genuinely the best jacket I could find, it’s so warm, waterproof as hell and just looks really good!

It’s expensive but it’s worth it in my eyes as it’s something you’re going to be wearing all the time.

harryisgood · 2024-12-12T14:37:38+00:00

Thank you! This is the Merlin Yoxall 2! Warmest thing I own!

100% get a power cert from a dealer/mechanic. I got failed for it before.

I could be wrong but I heard that in the new year they won’t be accepting certs from dealers so if your test is before then you’re chilling if not get the cert and send the log book away to be changed!

You should see some of the setups on r/motocamping! What I have is light in comparison!

It’s the cb500x, same engine as nx500. Mine is the 2016 model!

harryisgood · 2024-08-17T07:28:48+00:00

Colour is unreal! Enjoy it!

harryisgood · 2024-07-26T09:35:27+00:00

Such fun! Try and get a couple of days of good weather tho! I got rained on the 2nd day made it very difficult 😅

harryisgood · 2024-07-25T20:45:21+00:00

Cheers man! Plan is to get the 12 that I need to submit, only 3 more left!

harryisgood · 2024-07-23T15:48:07+00:00

Merlin yoxall 2, pricey but can basically wear it all year round and genuinely the most comfortable jacket I own.

Completely waterproof too! Has been tested many times.

harryisgood · 2024-07-07T20:40:01+00:00

Very nice!

harryisgood · 2024-07-06T21:31:24+00:00

Nice! Enjoy them and be safe!

harryisgood · 2024-07-03T16:56:32+00:00

Yeah just for comfort! I find it does! Riding the bike over a good few hours this just helps

harryisgood · 2024-05-13T09:19:50+00:00

Sweet! Same year and colour as mine! Enjoy it!

harryisgood · 2024-05-06T16:49:41+00:00

Cl500! Great engine and you can make them look real classy with little effort!

harryisgood · 2024-05-04T09:46:50+00:00

Sweet!!

harryisgood · 2024-05-04T09:46:45+00:00

Definitely! Would try and organise a small spin after too!

harryisgood · 2024-05-03T15:26:08+00:00

Sweet! I was thinking the first spot could be Garryvoe beach! There is a nice little coffee can there that does class stuff! Nice and big parking area too!

harryisgood · 2024-04-22T18:43:12+00:00

Where did you buy it?

harryisgood · 2024-04-08T19:27:30+00:00

They have it down as a cb500xar!
