a simple video on how to install a 12V outlet on a 2019 CB500X images for the repair manual are at the end of the video. 12V accessory socket www.partzilla....
Thank you. Sitting at right under 600 miles getting ready to do my first oil change and just picked up the 12-volt socket at the dealer. Did this with a minimal amount of cursing thanks to you.
Can’t thank you enough buddy! Who knew how easy it was t remove side fairing until I watched this! 12v socket, satnav, Keiss clothing power all fitted today thanks to you with no drama ...👍
I just got the 2020 model, same bike. First bike I've ever bought. Loving it so far. Thanks for the video, I'll be doing this to mine over the weekend.
Thanks to you, I saved myself from following this video. Took all of ten minutes to fit, as you say just fiddly to tighten up the retaining plastic nut but ten minutes max... 2020 version.
Thanks for the video and instruction. Going to be adding the 12V accessory outlet shortly. FYI - the Guardian or Gremlin Bell, according to legend, should only and always be mounted on the lowest part of the bike and as far forward as possible.;-P Safe riding!
Thanks for the video. Just got a 2021 a couple of weeks ago and will be under the hood for wiring and installing a set of Givi Alaskan Trekker panniers. Hi from B.C., hope to be touring your way soon.
Thanks a ton for this vid. I ordered a generic usb socket and can’t find any details on installing it. Looks much better to buy the Honda socket, as you’re doing. I didn’t even know it was available. So, from what I see, there’s a connector under the side panel that accepts the socket connector. No need to wire to the battery...seems like it’s right there. I’ll be ordering that socket and sending the other one back. Then I’ll just use a usb charger adapter to fit into the power socket.
Ya the Honda specific one is easy to install. You could cut off the factory connector and wire in one that way but I personally don't like to mess with the factory harness there is also a second accessory connection underneath the seat that I just came across
AZ Rider yeah, I’m definitely in favor of the OEM Honda parts for stuff like this. I’ve ordered the part and will refer back to your vid to install. Looks fairly easy. Have you installed any hand guards like the barkbusters? I ordered some but had to send ‘em back. They didn’t fit the ‘19 cbx. Maybe these manufacturers have caught up with the requirements for the ‘19 model. Seemed like there was enough of a difference that caused things to be redesigned. I might try the guards instead of heated grips. My buddy keeps telling me to get a heated vest, and wire an outlet for it, but I’m not so sure I want to be riding if it’s cold enough to need heat.
@@topotone I have not yet done any hand guards yet because the heated grips I have make a big difference I will be adding them eventually though. Right now I am saving for a good skid plate and a set of fog lights I am just trying to locate the factory fog light switch that goes in the center of the dash I found one for an Africa twin that might be the right one but I haven't got it yet still need to look at the wiring in that area.
@@topotone found a part number for some hand guards from Honda 08P70-MJW-J80 this is for the 2019 model year doesn't have a good image though so I can't tell if it has a bark buster behind it
Thanks for the video @AZ Rider! How the heck do you get the blank out of the connector? You explain that you released the lock and pulled out the blank with pliers. But I can’t figure it out. Where is the lock? Thanks!
Great video. Very helpful indeed! Thanks for that and please go on making some service/maintenance videos for this great bike! I got two questiions. First is about the fuse. Is the socket running via one of the fuses in the fuse box? Second: Is the socket on permanent power or just when you turn on the key?
The socket is switched with the ignition and the fuse is in the fuse box as it is done through the factory wiring harness. There is a second spot for another socket under the seat as well as factory wiring under the fairing for the Honda heated grips
BTW, I put some Shad side cases on with their mounts and had a heck of a time fitting them. Just like you, the top would hit the grab bar. I ended up shimming out the mounts a little. Shad gave me refund of $50. for my troubles, essentially admitting they need to retool the mounts.
Ya I had to do a little bit of light bending to make them fit but once I did they fit fairly good now. I had to bend one again after the wife dropped the bike during her lesson
OK but if you have crash bar, its possible to use some cutting tool to make loose this connector then plug out dummy plug or cut wires and solder as I did.
Many thanks for your video, to plug, followed you instructions, 👍, I'm having trouble getting the little pug out of connector , but great video, Dave UK
Would you please put a better photo/image of the two pages of the CB500X manual (those we can see at the end of the video). Too many info missing as the image is not perfectly "flat" and even.
If you have a USB charger plugged into this will it continue to draw power from the battery? Do you always need to take it out when the engine is not running to keep from draining the battery?
I picked up the manual from Helminc below is the link to where I found them they are not to expensive and it really helps to have them. i got both the maintenance manual and the parts catalog. www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=helm&Mfg=AHC&Make=AHC&Model=CB5X&Year=2019&Category=&Keyword=&Module=&selected%5Fmedia=
Another question for you...You reference a maintenance/service manual. Are you using a OEM service manual? And if so, where do you get one? I did a few searches and am unclear what is what. Thanks!
Thanks so much for putting this video together. What USB adapter did you go with to charge your phone/GPS? I purchased one on amazon, but it isn't getting power. It almost seems like the USB adapter I got isn't deep enough to reach the bottom of the Honda 12V socket. Thanks a bunch!
It is just one I picked up at the electronics store 2 ports they are all fairly standard you may want to check the fuse in the port as well as the bike if you are not getting power
it is the officail manual you can order one form this link to where you can get the service manual parts manual and Honda basic service manual www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=helm&Mfg=AHC&Make=AHC&Model=CB24&Year=2019&Category=1&Keyword=&Module=&selected%5Fmedia= the basic survive manual goes over some really basic stuff and not necessarily specific to the CB500
If you put a switch inline with any of the three ABS fuses it should fault out and turn off ABS. As for getting it to turn back on you may have to shut off the bike and then turn it back on to get it working again. I do not have the ABS version so I won't be able to test it out for you.
sorry I read the comment wrong the first time around here is a link to where you can get the service manual parts manual and Honda basic service manual www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=helm&Mfg=AHC&Make=AHC&Model=CB24&Year=2019&Category=1&Keyword=&Module=&selected%5Fmedia=

Same as a few others... just got a 2020 followed the install instructions but having your video was great - especially the clip part!
Was literally just in the process of adding a USB port and some Shad side panniers on same model Honda - so this video helps hugely. Cheers!
Can’t thank you enough buddy! Who knew how easy it was t remove side fairing until I watched this! 12v socket, satnav, Keiss clothing power all fitted today thanks to you with no drama ...👍
That was an excellent instructional video, fella.
Great job.
I just got the 2020 model, same bike. First bike I've ever bought. Loving it so far. Thanks for the video, I'll be doing this to mine over the weekend.
I’ve installed the OEM outlet, without removing the fairing. It’s pretty finicky, but it worked perfectly for me.
Thanks to you, I saved myself from following this video. Took all of ten minutes to fit, as you say just fiddly to tighten up the retaining plastic nut but ten minutes max... 2020 version.
Very comprehensive and well explained. Thank you 😊
Great, thanks for the demo! I'll be doing mine this weekend...
Thanks for the good instructions, it made the whole job easy as, also pretty good camera work😊
Thanks for the video and instruction. Going to be adding the 12V accessory outlet shortly. FYI - the Guardian or Gremlin Bell, according to legend, should only and always be mounted on the lowest part of the bike and as far forward as possible.;-P Safe riding!
I was able to install without taking any of the plastics off. Just use a flashlight and look for the connector.
so nice of you to do it again on camera .
best tutorial thanks.
respect. 👌👌👌👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. Just got a 2021 a couple of weeks ago and will be under the hood for wiring and installing a set of Givi Alaskan Trekker panniers. Hi from B.C., hope to be touring your way soon.
Thank you for sharing the install, gave me a good idea on how to do it! Very helpful.
Great to hear
Great video, thanks - very easy to follow.
Great video brother. Made the job a piece of cake 👍
Much appreciate the video! I'm not exactly mechanically inclined, but even I was able to do this easily with tips from your video. Thanks!
Haha you were here too to watch how to install the 12V Socket. =)
actually, it's really easy to install. don't need to dismantle all the fairing and so on. it took me 5 minutes to install.
Wow. Thanks for this. I'm pretty sure it's the same for my 2022.
it is currently the same for the 2019 and up
Thanks, AZ, very helpful video.
Made my life very easy , Thank you 🙏
Very helpful thanks.

It is but I prefer to as little modifications to the stock bike as possible that way if I wanted to revert to back to stock it would be easy
Many thanks for your video, to plug, followed you instructions, 👍, I'm having trouble getting the little pug out of connector , but great video, Dave UK
@@dpmufc4028 I did use a set of small Needle nose pliers to help pull it out
Thanks for the video! Please consider blacking out your license plate for future videos :-)
Why? It helped know he's my southern neighbour. Everyone sees your plates when you're on the road. (Unless you're really fast ! )
Would you please put a better photo/image of the two pages of the CB500X manual (those we can see at the end of the video). Too many info missing as the image is not perfectly "flat" and even.
Best VÍDEO

I think there is a factory heated grips supply socket/plug on the other fork side so that can be tapped into if needed?
Can inatall the sae cable at the same time
Brilliant. Thanks
If you have a USB charger plugged into this will it continue to draw power from the battery? Do you always need to take it out when the engine is not running to keep from draining the battery?
Sanchomapento at Ebay has ready to connect Plug&Play set USB charger QC3.0 with voltmeter, and cable harness with original plug
Hi. What is name of the book? Link?
Will that side cases rack work with the original side handles? Or do you change them out?
The original handles are still installed just had to unbolt them to install the side cases
Interesting..I thought the 2019 only came in red tank. ( mine that is) Yours looks orange. Thanks for the vid AZ Rider.
Mine is red. I do wish that thay had come out with a few more color options in the us though
Thanks for the video. Installing mine this morning and this will be a big help. Where did you get the manual for the bike?

Would appreciate hoe you installed the heated grips please
I sure can I am actually going to need to replace the grips I have soon
Nice DIY! Is the manual you use an official Honda Service Manual? I’m trying to figure out which one to get and where to get it. Thanks!
it is the officail manual you can order one form this link to where you can get the service manual parts manual and Honda basic service manual www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=helm&Mfg=AHC&Make=AHC&Model=CB24&Year=2019&Category=1&Keyword=&Module=&selected%5Fmedia=
the basic survive manual goes over some really basic stuff and not necessarily specific to the CB500
Excellent. Thank you very much!
one thing I would like to make with the CB500X model 2019 is the switch ABS On/Off, can you advise how can i buy maintenance book?

I am wearing headphones - so screw the air tool noise I am half deaf now.....
@AZ Rider, where did you get the manual for the 2019 model from?

What size are the shad size bags? Sh23 or sh35?
They are the sh23
All that damn noise for a 5mm bolt. Jesus christ.
Yeah, a bit OTT if you ask me.

Amazingly cheap snap together parts.
