Reviving the 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo - Part 2: Deep Cleaning and Fuel Challenges

Ай бұрын

Welcome back to Motorcycle Rewind! In our second episode dedicated to the revival of the 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo, we're diving deeper into the restoration process.
We start by giving the wheels and engine the attention they deserve with a thorough cleaning, scrubbing away years of grime and neglect. Watch as we bring back the shine and reveal the hidden beauty of this classic bike.
Next, we tackle the fuel tank, which has been sitting with 25-year-old fuel. It's time to drain out the ancient gas and see what we're dealing with inside. Spoiler alert: it's not pretty, but it's all part of the adventure!
Finally, we test the original fuel pump to determine if it's still up to the task or if it needs to be replaced. Will the pump hold up after all these years, or will we be hunting for a new one? Tune in to find out!
Join us on this journey of revival, and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to follow the progress of the CX500 Turbo and all our other vintage motorcycle projects.

Definitely with you on the cleaning first routine 👍

Why work on a dirty motorcycle when you don’t have too!!!😂 Thanks for watching.

You find a lot issues as you clean.

@kalaharimine Ай бұрын

Tank and panels need to come off for a deep clean, protects them from damage too. Very stylish bike, nice project. GL👍🏻

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын

That's step 3 of the cleaning process. Cleaning under that tank and seat is next. Thanks for watching.

In 1982 I bought a new CB900F, and one of my riding buddies bought one of these Turbo`s. They were about the same, as far as speed goes. I ended up putting about 40K on the 900, and of all the motorcycles I`ve owned (50) or so, I always considered it to be the best. I had an 81 CX500 Custom, which I traded in on the 900. Honda should have never quit making this engine. I`m going to enjoy this series.

@nickq204 Ай бұрын

The wheels look great now! The CX turbo bikes have that retro future look in spades. I love the color scheme on this bike with the yellow and black trim. I love watching these on KZfaq, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the wild, or at least not in the last 25-30 years.

These wheels are awesome. This motorcycle has been so much fun. Can’t wait till the fuel pump arrives.

It is cleaning up so good. Hoping I can bring the paint around.

@sjv6598 Ай бұрын

I always clean before working. It makes it much much easier to see what you’re doing. That a great bike and is in fantastic condition considering it’s 40 odd years old.

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын

Couldn't agree more! Everyday this bike gets better and better. It's like the GPZ experience all over again. Having a blast!

@bobberguy1 Ай бұрын

I enjoy watching you knock the barnacles off. Amazing what a little TLC will do for a bike.

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын

Glad you enjoy it! I have a feeling this one is going to turn out really good with few parts and lots of elbow grease. Thanks for watching.

@stevefletcher2334 Ай бұрын

gotta have a clean bike! My 84 CB650SC's motor looked very similar to your CX500's...same faded paint...I hit it with S100 engine brightener and it magically looked all gloss black and new again! Granted, it's just a band aid...but it lasted quite a few months before starting to fade again. It sure beats repainting the motor!

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын

I am going to look for some of that. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.

Armor All will take away the oxidation in the black engine parts and make it look new. It lasts a fair amount of time after application too. Good luck.

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын

I accidentally discovered that while cleaning this bike. Sprayed it with the tire foam, let it sit till all the foam dissipated. Then blew it off with the air compressor. Looked really good. Thanks for watching.

@dextergleason9421 Ай бұрын

Mothers wheel or metal polish will take more off those wheels. Looking great.

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын

I thought about using some time of metal polish. Was concern about the finish coming off the wheel. Seeing how its faded so much in the rear. I can do a test spot on the rear. Can't make it worse! Thanks for the heads up. Now to go shopping.

I've got a 6 cylinder Kawasaki ( future project ) has a electric fuel pump didn't work. I put carb clean in the inlet and outlet to clean things out.( repeatedly ) reversed polarity back and forth and got the fuel pump to work.

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын

This one is in the Ultrasonic cleaner. Doesn’t hurt to try to free it up. I also ordered a new one. Thanks for watching.

17:23 Whats on your upper lip in this shot? It kind of looks like you were sucking on the exhaust end of a muffler. : ) It's funny the places grease and grime will end up when you're working in the garage. That's a cool bike. Normally the 80's stuff doesn't do it for me (with all the plastics and the squares) but I'm starting to appreciate those bikes more.

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын

LOL. Was wondering of anyone would catch it. I blew into the tank to speed the draining. Did not realize it got on my face! I was just like you with regards, to these early eighties bikes. Have found an appreciation for them. Thanks for watching.
