- How to fit givi engine bars to a brand new 2020 honda cb500x.
** at 7:33 the spacer actually goes between the engine and the frame NOT the bars and the frame. I had initially filmed it wrong and forgot to edit this in the video showing the correct way. **
A step by step guide showing how we fitted them and roughly the time taken to fit them.

Excellent video. I have a set of engine bars on the way to fit to my identical CB500X. Thanks
@@mikedowning4603 no problem. I’m glad it could help. Enjoy the bike.
Thanks to both you and your dad for sharing this,I class myself as a spanner with a hammer (not very good at DIY) so being able to watch things like this gives me the confidence to have a go 👍
No problem, I’m not too good either lol. Glad this video helped you though. Definitely give it a go and good luck with it.
Those bars look good. Even if you never need ‘em it adds to the overall good looks of the bike. Well done.
Thanks for posting this - very helpful
You’re welcome. Glad you found it useful.
Dude is VERY good with hand tools. Thx 4 the video
He’s worked with hand tools for years. He makes it look easy. Glad you liked the video.
Great video and very useful I’ve just bought some myself 🇬🇧👍
Oh amazing!!! Glad you found the video useful and I hope you love the bike as much as I do. 👌
Hey thanks for the video, I get my new NX 500 this week❤ have you got a link for these engine bars please? Thank you, Kev.
A good small middleweight softcore adventure bike..I do love my 4x4 SUV too
I do love this bike. I also love 4x4’s but not enough money for both personally 😂
Laura..@ around 07:33 I can't quite see if that bottom spacer is in the right place.....it should be between the engine and the frame and NOT the Givi bars and the frame.....I might be seeing it wrong...please check it.....wouldn't want you to have any future problems.
You're correct. The spacer isn't in the right place, and so now the frame spar is probably being bent into the engine, instead of the spacer being between to support it!
@@Mtthwpez Hi.....Laura replied on FB and they did notice this and amended it.
@@johnw2758 Good good.
Thx for the vídeo from Spain.
Are you sure that the “sliders” are meant to go there?
It looks that the most exposed part of the frame is the upper part… but you can easily verify that laying the motorbike on the ground on a flat surface (better if on a smooth surface) and seeing which part of the tubolar frame touches the ground. That is also a good exercise for lifting the bike up after a fall.
Probably you can also order some additional sliders to be positioned in less exposed areas (which might touch the ground on uneven surfaces) or as replacement pieces.
To be honest no I’m not sure where they’re mean to go, there was no pictures for that bit so we didn’t quite work out exactly the correct location. I should take another look and move them to the top section, I think that’s initially where I believed they should go. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll take a look at additional ones too, might be good in other locations also.
Note: lock washers should be installed on the nut end (not under the bolt head as shown @ 2:51)
Yes thank you for that. After posting it I had a message and we realised our mistakes so corrected it. The difficulty with not really have instructions is we were not sure which side the washer went. Thank you though.
@@lld-tv This is a universal rule (regardless of instructions)... ALWAYS put a lock-washer on the nut end. FYI: another universal rule; when following a torque specification (with a torque wrench), ALWAYS set final torque on the nut end (thus eliminating the extra friction from the bolt spinning in the hole, and therefore getting a more accurate torque reading). Note; these 2 rules are interrelated; due to the extra friction from the bolt in the hole, a nut will always come loose (from vibration) before the associated bolt starts to spin.
Great share. My only comment is, if there's no lock nut on the other end use loctite.
No torque specs or loctite, wonder was it is holding up after all these years? Thanks, ride safe 👌
Hi, just ordered the Givi bars. Video will help. Did you Torque the bolts etc to the required settings? If so what were they please.
Apologies for the slow reply. I know it says you are meant to. We did go back and do them but initially didn’t. I found the torque settings online. It’s about 60Nm and 55Nm but I can’t remember to which bolt off the top of my head.
Nice video. About how long did it actually take and have you got a video of the hand guard install?
Thank you very much for your video! May I ask which QuadLock holder did you have bought? Handlebar or mirror? I think that where you installed it is the best place of our motorcycle. Thank you again ;)
Hello, no problem. I bought the mirror mount as it fits the accessory bar nicely. Yeah I like it on that bar as it’s good line of sight and you don’t have to look down at your phone when riding! :) no problem.
Good addition to the cbx. Hope you never need them. ;)
I hope so too haha thanks
You should have correct tightening torque else you suffer high vibrate at speed of 125kmh above
Norman Schlongdongovic I will look into that thanks. I haven’t noticed high vibrations at that speed as haven’t gone high rpm.
LLD-TV You should try and see how...First time i install SW Motec engine guard,the mechanic doesn’t really use torque tightening and i suffer vibration during speed at 78 mph..Then i go to one professional workshop to retightened and voila,there’s no vibration even at 80 mph.
What are the torque settings
They look really good! How do you like them? Any vibration? I'm trying to decide between the Givi and the SW-Motech.
Thank you. I’m really pleased with them. I haven’t noticed any vibrations. There is a sequence to tighten the bolts back in that can be found online. That then cures any vibrations apparently. Fortunately mine went on ok. I think they look good on the bike too but I may be bias 😂
The SW Motech are a lot more expensive are they not?
Hi what did you torque the bolts too? Many thanks.
Thanks for the video, nice bars. Would you recommend also fitting lower crash bars ? Thanks
Apologies havent been seeing my comments. I actually havent got lower crash bars on it. I feel the tank is the widest part and if it were to go over it would hit the top crash bars first. If i was doing more off-roading then i would probably invest in lower bars too. You can then get a centre stand that fits on the lower bars which is helpful for servicing.
nice
Thanks for sharing, but I have one question when you refitted the spacer to the front off side engine mount you had the spacer on the bar side not the engine side !was that correct or did you swop it round but didn't tell us.
No problem. Apologies, yes this was a mistake that we picked up after filming and uploading. They should be fitted the other side.
Did you use locktite and how are they holding up?
I hade some loud vibration at 5000 plus rpms. The front connection where you place the bushing and bring the tubes together in the 2 circles have slight movement or play if you grip and pull up and down. Still trying to figure out how to fix.
hope you have managed to fix this now :)
I have the se bike i will put them soon
Really useful guide thanks. Interested to see what else you add. Any plans for a skid plate?
Glad you found it useful thank you. I am debating it but because I’m not doing much off road riding at the moment I haven’t rushed into it. I do think it needs some protection over the oil filter though.
@@lld-tv Absolutely. That oil filter is begging to be torn off.
Que chulos los protegepuños. Que modelo son?
Great video, what's the weight of the bars please? Thanks 👍
Thank you. That I sadly don’t know. Struggling to find any weight figures online currently.
@@lld-tv yeah me too, thanks anyway
Nice one :)
Thanks
I know this is a little old now but any chance of the Torque for upper and lower engine bolts?
I’d double check online as can’t remember off the top of my head but thinks it’s 60Nm and 55Nm but I can’t find the diagram I had and worked off of, apologies.
I like these crash bars. Does anyone know if they will work with RR skid plate?
I am not too sure. I think RR say you have to have their crash bars as the skid plate fits to them? It has been a while since i last looked
nice are you going to get driving light and put them on the GIVI engine guards as well?
That’s probably going to happen, I do have some spot lights from my old bike just haven’t fitted them yet
do you have vibration problems? Did they get worse with the paramotors? I have the same bike and the same maramotore but a lot of vibrations to the whole bike. Bye.
Hi, when we first fitted them we were unaware of the tightening sequence so I got vibrations. We since corrected this and torqued to the right setting and this reduced the vibrations. The order is online of which bolts to tighten in what sequence.
laura have you tried to lye the motorcycle on the ground to test the crash bar?
No I haven’t done. Why is that?
What made you decide to get the Givi over the SW Motech crash bars?
I thought the Givi covered more of the bike and not just the engine. By having the higher engine bars up under the front also gives me the options to add fog lights to them. Just looked more protective than SW Motech
Did you have any problem with the engine screws? I ve seen some bikes with broken screws :(
Nope I haven’t had any issues. Also didn’t realise that some were breaking. Must be over tightening them perhaps?
@@lld-tv Probably. A third option is the screw that in some cases is smaller than necessary.
What is the part number of that guard? I can't find them anywhere for a 2020 model thanks.
I used the TNH1171 - www.brandedbiker.co.uk/shop/givi-tnh1171-engine-guards-honda-cb500x-2019-on/
Not sure where they were purchased from as they were a present. They also fit together with the lower piece if that was something you were after.
Thanks I dont think those parts are available in the US market. I found them on an overseas website. Again thanks for the help!
Ahhh ok that’s frustrating. No problem glad the video helped.
Any vibrations with those crashbars? After 5000rpm most often?
No I don’t experience any vibrations. There is a sequence online in which to tighten the bolts to help prevent vibrations. I will double check again when I ride the bike but nothing stands out to me. I know this is an issue with them sometimes after fitting crashbars
Thank you !! Ride safe
@@bere38 no problem. Thanks, you too.
Pura vida 😊 👌🏼
Will the rally raid engine fit with this?
Engine guard or? What do you mean rally raid engine?
I’m sorry, I meant the rally raid guard that fits on the bottom to protect the engine.
💙👍
FERGAWDSAKES - buy a torque wrench and some blue Loctite!
We did go over them afterwards following the recommended tightening sequence using a torque wrench. I didn’t film that bit as we did it a bit later after someone sent me the sequence. 👍
@@lld-tv Could you share this sequence please? Thanks.
[ Like ] :)
The silver ones would be a better color I think
I personally don’t like the silver ones reminded me a bit of scaffolding so I went black to go with the black on the bike
Givi engine bars are making vibrations.
There is a sequence online that says what order you need to tighten the bolts. Once you’ve tightened them correctly there shouldn’t be many vibrations. Hope you fix it 👍
