I have One CB 500x like your. Dame Crash bars, Dame color... With alluminium top case, no side cases. I love that bike.
7 หลายเดือนก่อน
My used 2014 cb500x came ready for silliness with crashbars, skiplate and footpegs from sw-motech. It also came with some dings and scratches so I don't have to worry. I've added barkbusters, usb-charger and ram x phone mount. Oh, and pirelli scorpion str tyres for the slightly stoopider shit. Brilliant bike, good video.
Hi, i like the set up of your bike. Since I have the same bike [in bright white, ;)] I do have a question about the tankbag. What about the influence of the magnetic strips of the tank bag on mobile phone and your back cards? I would like to ask: Is it possible and safe to put your wallet with these cards and your phone in the tankbag without damaging them by the cause of magnetic influence?
I had concerns about that aswell, but I've had no issues... I think there is a thick layer between the magnets and the content of the bag to keep it from damaging your elektronics
Thank you for doing this video. I'm looking at buying one of these soon and this is the first time that I've seen all the accessories that interest me on the bike and discussed. Cheers.
@@thebrightrider Your videos are great. Keep it up! I do have one question for you- I noticed that your exhaust has some sort of black cap on the end. Is that a Euro-spec add-on from the Honda factory or an aftermarket accessory to keep hot exhaust fumes away from the nice panniers?
Another great one :-) Love the way you put in the b-roll :-) Just one thing, the TomTom gps are useless offroad and on the trails around in the different countries :-) The other thing, the QuadLock on the bike will destroy the stabilator in the camera on the iphone, guess how i know :-P Do you have any idea of how much the bike weighs with all the extra equipment? Cheers
Thomas Hansen I agree, TomTom is not made for that, that’s why I bought Quad Lock to use my phone for that. Does the x-grip do a better job? Seen plenty of examples that the phone smashed because it wasn’t secure... what do you use? :) As for the weight; no idea ;p I’m guessing the racks and panniers would be something like 10kg total, I could be very wrong though...
@@thebrightrider The quadlock will secure the phone to the bike in a good way, the only problem is there is nothing to stop the vibration from the bike... when you rev the bike up to 6-8000rpm there is alot of really small vibrations that goes into the phone and destroy it. My iphone 6 died that way. I got myself a GPS, and only use my phone when needed but i put it away in my tankbag or in my pocket. if you buy a cheap phone only for this purpose it is a different story :-) But i would not recommend to use your daily phone to navigate :-)
Hello Thomas. For the hot grips system, it have 3 levels, 1) when it blinks 3 times it's the first "level" for the heat 2) when it blinks 2 times it's the second "level" and it is a little bit more hot than the 1st "level" 3) when it blinks 1 time it's third "level" and that is the hottest level Also the movie it is th "Batman Begins". Have a great time!
Quote from Batman Begins When Bruce Wayne tests the "tumbler". Good job for the video though, and I can't wait for a proper highway test. I cannot make up my mind between the cb500x in black and the Vstrom 650 XT ... What concerns me is the lack of engine performance for highway transfers (even if I avoid them as much as I can). For the rest, the black cb500x looks unbelievably cool!
Giuseppe Peres Thanks! I had the same toss up between those 2 bikes. I finally chose this one because the V-strom is at the end of its prime, I mean they’re probably going to come out with a new model soon, just like they did with the 1050 (which looks much better then its previous model) + I think the CBX can do everything the Vstrom can if not more :)
Excellente vidéo ! Personnellement, j'ai les crash bar de SW-Motech sur ma CB500X de 2016. J'ai chuté à 70 km/h avec et elles ont tenu le choc sans problème (pas de pliage). Le moteur n'a pas été touché. Par contre, le guidon s'est tordu et est allé taper dans le réservoir et un carénage... Mais bon, une chute à cette vitesse, il y a forcément du dégât.
Hey Thomas. As you ve had the tank bag for some time now, are the magnets strong enough to hold the bag in place at speed, and how about off road. Cheers mate. Enjoy your vids. They re very honest. Don t forget to introduce your lady by first name though, as "she" may soon get tired of the terminology. .. Just a tip learnt the hard way from an older guy..😉 . Enjoy
Hello, have the same bike, love it and awesome videos…. Does the top box and side cases give any wobble on the handlebars when you take your hands off ?
@@DanielOliveiraSantos I don’t ride with topbox, it just depends on the total weight on the back. So just panniers with nothing in it is no problem but if you fully load them or ride with passenger, then the handlebars will act up
Good stuff that color scheme on your bike is identical to my NC 700.I sometimes wish I had opted for the 500 ahh what the heck maybe I will get one anyway.Ride safe.
Nice video bro👌👌👌 One of ur subscriber from India. Liked ur videos and dont worry about English. You speak very well👍 Awaiting for this bike to reach Indian markets, but i think the wait will be longer because of this lockdown😭😭😭 Full power pack bike with awesome accessories.

Hello. Sympa ta chaîne !! Ma CB 500 X est en rodage depuis 5 jours... Par contre le quad lock à DETRUIT l'appareil photo de mon téléphone en quelques jours à cause des vibrations. Impossible de faire la mise au point, image floue et qui fait des vagues... je suis dégoûté. Tu n'as pas eu ce problème ? Salutations ami belge.
@@thebrightrider Yes I know respectfully, its regarding the size, which you not mention on your website. I live in the UK so it might be a problem with return to Germany, taking into account current situation. So just to be on a save side.
Hi, I'm considering the Givi tank bag and would value your comments on the following questions. 1) I am very fussy on protecting my tank paint finish so was wondering if the underneath of the tank bag is made from a soft material that might help if some grit gets trapped between the tank and the bag. 2) How strong are the magnets does the bag move when riding with weight inside the bag. Thanks for the very useful video.
Hi, thanks for the questions 1) My dad has used magnet tank bags for over 10 years (me 4 years) and we have never had a scratch on any bike, so I think it's safe to say you don't need to worry about damaging your tank :) 2) Depends on the riding that you're going to do. If you're going to ride normal style on any paved road, it's not going to move (even if you're packing a couple days food supply in there ) if you're not sure, you can even strap it around your bars. But if you're going to do some hardcore offroading, it would be better to strap it on your back for that ride. Either way, you're always going to be able to bring it along :) Cheers!
Thanks so much for doing this and your other videos! Definitely helpful, as I'm working on my list of accessories/modifications for my 2021 model. Have you noticed any vibrations with the Givi crash bars? Also, not sure if you already installed a skid plate, but I think the SW MoTech one will work without any issues with the Honda center stand. However - not sure if SW Motech Skid plate and Givi crash bars share any mounting points or if that would cause any issues.
Nice bike, I bought the same one but the lockdown prevented my last driving lesson and exam from taking place. I will certainly also place some of these accessories on the bike. Movie quot: Batman Begins ;)
Looking good. One thing about the quad lock, why not position it so that the blue tab sits vertically, then you can unclip the phone more easily? Only asking because I'm also using a quadlock, unclipping the phone was annoying until I rotated the base 90 degrees :D
I like the horizontal look better because the navigation bar is horizontal and I don't like the blue thing to stick out when I slide my phone on its side :) and I don't really have an issue with putting my phone on there :)
Nice Review..... I'm also thinking about buying this motorcycle as a beginner..... I hope to place the right choice with it...... I am 1,89m tall and I am a liitle bit afraid that it will be too small..... I will also choice the black one, cause it looks a little bit more massive than the other colors.... Please keep your reviews vital.... They are all very helpful and interesting to watch.... Greetings from Germany
Do you know if there is any possibility of putting a protective plate on the carter and also protecting the two exhaust pipes and another for the radiator? Thanks for your help and video. Take care.
your video is great but may i suggest you invest in a remote mic so that i can hear you better without turning the volume too high and disturbing my neighbour?! :-)
What about the suspension set up? This is most important for safety. Has the springs and forks and shock been upgraded to handle the extra load? What about the junk stock chain and brake pads and tires?
CruisingTheThaiway To counter the load, I adjusted the preload and that’s enough for now (there’s not so much weight difference yet) chain, brakes and tires will get changed with the first big service
Andrei N Yes that came with the pannier rack to protect the underneath of the pannier agains heat and all the other crap that comes out of your exhaust ;)
From what I hear from other TH-cam channels, the *skid plate and center stand may interfere* , depending on manufacturer. You may want to check that out before making a purchase.
There are some youtube reviewers complaining a lot about vibrations on the bike. Have you noticed any? Is it something that is really irritating? Thanks for the video :) Very informative :)
Hi thank you for sharing your experiences with CB 500X. Is it possible to give a review of the stock LED headlights throw and beam spread at night at different scenarios:- i.e. night highway/on road riding, farm or mild off roading, riding in mist/fog/rain. Are auxiliary fog lights legally allowed in your country to be installed on a motorcycle? Thanks again and cheers
Hello! I see you’ve used the Givi Trekker Outback Panniers 37L Black Line in your list. Is this in line with your handles? Do you know if the larger trekker panniers will extend beyond the handles?
Hi. Nice video you've made. Have you consider changing to a 16 tooth sprocket? In your video I just miss one info: How much €€ did they cost.... (+-) . Thanks
@@thebrightrider Got it thanks! I also like the fact you explained your choice for the Givi crash bars rather than an engine guard (such as SW Motech) system. Can you also mount auxiliary lights on the Givi bars?
Hello! Your videos are very good, sorry my English is not good and I did not understand how much capacity the givi side cases are ... could you give me that information? And if between the two things can fit. greetings from Chile
Greetings from the UK. 😊 Really enjoying your videos, thanks. I used the 2019 CB500X for a few days on Gran Canaria (with the wonderful @Canary Motorcycle Tours) and really came to appreciate what a fun and practical little bike it is. So much so I might even buy one at some future time. That’s a cool little dog too! 😉👍🏻
English is a slippery, ever-changing language with lots of regional terms, but you're safe with referring to a *"12 volt outlet"* and a *"USB port"* . "Outlet" is usually for simple things like a _power source_ stationary female connector, and "port" is usually for a _digital_ stationary female connector. Stationary female connectors have historically been called "jacks", as in "telephone jack" or "headphone jack", but the word seems to be slowly going out of fashion for modern electronics.
The Bright Rider Many people say that the givi bars makes you feel a little more vibrations at that rpm, I don’t know if that is just in the previous model of cb500x. Do you remember or do you know the NM (force, i mean, don’t know the word in english xD) that you applied on each bolts?
Do not install the top box. It makes the bike top heavy. It's perfect the way it is right now. That space can be used to maybe hookup a tent or small bag if needed. Top case really messes up the aerodynamics of the bike.
Sharad Talekar Yeah my thoughts exactly, only reason that I would buy it, is so my passenger would have something behind her back, bcs she’s a bit scared like this...
Do you know if it's possible to fit the bike with the trekker outback 37L side cases and 42L topcase simultaneously? It does look like there is not much room left while using the Givi Monokey M8B plate.
Great video!👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you so much! I have the same bike so this was so helpful. I'm just in the process of buying accessories for my bike. Have a great day in Belgium!☀🇧🇪

Sharad Talekar Yeah my thoughts exactly, only reason that I would buy it, is so my passenger would have something behind her back, bcs she’s a bit scared like this...
hey man, which bits are recorded on the canon m50 (says gopro too in desc)
Most of them, I use the gopro for some b-role stuff because it has good stabilization.
Do you know if it's possible to fit the bike with the trekker outback 37L side cases and 42L topcase simultaneously? It does look like there is not much room left while using the Givi Monokey M8B plate.
Jeroen Jurgens I think you can fit it, but you’d better ask a Givi dealer to be sure
Great video!👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you so much! I have the same bike so this was so helpful. I'm just in the process of buying accessories for my bike. Have a great day in Belgium!☀🇧🇪
I'm glad it helped!
Don't skimp, get the engine guard
Does cb500x come with mobile charger while riding the bike ?
Not standard
The bike looks great I’ve got the red version. The movie is Batman Begins..
David Howse Thanks! And you’re right, I’ll put your comment in the next video!
Bonjour Thomas, parles-tu français ?
poiro un peu oui :)
I would also install a 16t front sprocket to make it more suitable for highways.
*20℃ is hot* for you, are you serious. Here Temperature goes to 50℃ in INDIA during summer in some parts of the country.
Yeah I know, I think I was just hot because I was dragging the bike in the garden ;)
