Honda CX 400-500-650 Service & Repair Manuals

How to restore: Honda CX500 & CX650 (1978-1983) - Your step-by-step colour illustrated guide to complete restoration (Enthusiast's Restoration Manual)

When Honda introduced the CX500, it was marketed as a "road sports V-twin" with the slogan "First into the Future." This was Honda's first V-twin engine, featuring water cooling and shaft drive, a departure from their earlier twin- and four-cylinder models.
Known for its excellent handling and fuel efficiency, the CX500 became popular for its comfort and low maintenance. It was loved by both tourers and couriers, and, despite early issues, built a strong reputation for reliability. Sportier versions with turbochargers offered extra performance for those seeking more excitement.
Today, interest in the CX models is reviving, with restorers and custom builders taking an interest, along with aftermarket café racer kits.
