I flew to Pennsylvania to help The Bearded Mechanic with his custom CX500 adventure build! After seeing my recent CX500 adventure build online, Craig decided to use it as inspiration for his own build. In order to make progress on the project he called me up to come help for a couple days and knock some work out. This was such a fun experience and I am very grateful for the moto community who helped push for this to happen.

Very cool seeing the two of you working together. I bought a CX500 for a couple hundred bucks in January and have watched and learned religiously from each of you. I’ve got everything roadworthy- except for the neutral light. Tried following the complex diagram.. Fail. Just need it explained to me like an 8 year old. Thanks for the content and the humor. I appreciate it.

@BrickHouseBuilds 2 месяца назад

Well I appreciate you watching! The neutral light has power going to one side of the bulb. The other side is path to ground through the switch on the engine. You can test by putting a multimeter on continuity, one lead on the small threaded side of the switch and the other on the block somewhere. If it beeps when in neutral and stops when you shift it, the switch is good

@brickhousebuilds @the_bearded_mechanic Instead of using heat, compressed air, etc...there is a much safer and easier way to get the caliper piston out. Get a bolt the same size and thread as the banjo bolt an put it in place of the banjo bolt. Then back out the zirk fitted a bit and hook a grease gun to it and pump the grease into the caliper. The pressure will push it out and once it is free it won't shoot anywhere. All you have to do then is clean the grease out of the caliper. MUCH safer. I've done this on countless calipers and its never failed.

@BrickHouseBuilds 2 месяца назад

Yes I actually have a video showing that method which works well. Very messy though!

Ya know loyalty and all. Then I posted again and confirmed "Subscribing." So I guess I need to tone things down. But this collaboration is incredibly rare and I appreciate this so much. His post of this as well. ~~~. So yea. The Third fbMP purchase that I made was the Bandit 600. Initially I thought it was the 1200 so I got pretty excited 02' light accident damage. Parts of the front coaming still there but clearly ditching that stuff. This headlight tho. So cool. I was rewinding Craigs post... Back and forth. I could not see the brand of the headlight. Looked all over e-bay too. Do you know the brand of the headlight? ~ for my suzuki 600 ??? The Headlight. I'll bug Craig and apologize. Thank you for this. ~~~ Mr. Not Worthy from New Hampshire.
