HONDA CB500X review: Long Distance motorcycle trip fully loaded with Pillion and Luggage.
In this CB500X review video I'm riding around 700km with fully loaded motorcycle and 2 up. Our plan this time is to test how Honda CB500X is behaving under such a load and see if motorcycle is capable of decently driving rider and a passenger on a long motorcycle trip with around 10kg of luggage.
I will share all my impressions and thoughts as we go along and in next episode I will give you my final opinion about how CB500X is handling 2 up.
Take a look at the CB500X 2up review and see how things are standing with 2 up on a 8-10h motorcycle trip.

Nice video! I also have CB500X 2021 and ride in Berlin with a passenger as well. In 13:35 you've said that the bike sagged with the passenger and luggage. You've also mentioned that you've only increased tire pressure for this trip. In the manual, there's a table that shows the correct preload for the rear suspension. The default value is 2 and it is for riding alone. If you ride with a passenger and luggage it should be set to a maximum value, which is 5. Changing the preload of the suspension takes only a minute, although it may not be easy from the first try. This can be done using a special key that comes with the bike. The key is made of two parts. After you set the correct preload you will feel that the bike handles better with the added load and it won't sag. There won't be any bouncing in the corners. Also, this is better for your safety, because when the rear suspension sags, it changes the geometry of the bike in a way that the front tire gets less loaded, which can result in a higher chance of wobbling at higher speeds. P.S. thanks to your videos I got myself a higher Givi windshield which I will install today. Hopefully, it will help with the wind buffeting issue. Take care and ride safe! Cudos from Berlin.

Great review. Thank you. I noticed that you increased the tyre pressures from standard rather than increasing the suspension preload. That would likely make the front end feel lighter and more 'skittish' in bends.

Thanks to you and your son for the video. I have a CB500x and my wife regularly rides pillion and finds the bike very comfortable. I increased the suspension preload F&R when I first got the bike and it improved the handling considerably and also resulted in much less fork dive during braking. I agree with you about the linear power delivery and it is a surprisingly good bike to do a long trip on, even loaded up. Those were great roads to be riding on together! Cheers from the UK.

Only thing I can add to this is that the pillion might feel tired after a couple of hours of hanging on tight to the bike. A top case with pillion cushion will most likely make it more confortable and relaxed to ride pillion in, without the need to always actively grab onto the bike.
@shiftupadventure
@shiftupadventure 2 года назад
I'd agree with that. Additional weight is the only reason why I avoid having a top case. But it surely would help if riding with pillion is common scenario. 👍

Iste smo tezine i svog sam podesio da je na 3 mjereci sag ispred iza kad sam sjeo..Mislim da bi 4 ili 5 postavka preloada bila savrsena za putnika i prtljagu

In July 2019, I rode 500x 2237 miles in 7 days from Oregon to Texas. (First day only 120 miles) averaging 350 miles a day for the next six days. The longest mileage was 410 miles for one day. I ran over truck scales in Colorado, weighing exactly 700lbs (3 hard boxes and big dry bag on passenger seat). I was cruising mostly 70-75mph with relentless wind the whole trip and on the edge of couple rather big storms. I thought heat would be the problem but wind was hard, especially with tall screen. X can do it but, you really feel the wind, the road conditions and riding long time over 75 takes the toll on the machine. At the end of each day, I was completely flushed.

@oknevals 3 года назад
@@shiftupadventure I didn't have issue with me being protected from wind. In the Summer heat, it is actually good to have some air flow. In East Oregon, wind picked me up at 75mph and moved me from cener line to the edge if shoulder. My stomach churned. The cure was to slow dow to 65. I had another similar but not as severe event. On 600lbs Super Tenere I was doing bursts to 85mph in much worse weather. One just needs to be aware of machine limits. And personal limits too.

Good information. In 2014 I bought a Suzuki GSX 1250 FA. Sight unseen because I used to ride Bandits. It is a beast and sometimes I think it is probably overkill for me. I could get by with a smaller (800cc or less Sport Tourer). Not that I am getting rid of it yet as it has miles to go but the next ST I get will be smaller.

Like some have already mentioned, you NEED to set harder preload on the back with pillion, otherwise you get that out of control feeling and it can cause you to crash, as the bike is off balance. Other than that, 500 CC bike seems to perform better than I thought with luggage and pillion. I currently have a 900 CC bike, but have been thinking of going lower CC. Honda has done a good job, I will go for a test ride of the CB500X, when I'll be testing bikes.

I have read many comments / videos regarding vibrations at speed on the CB500X. I can't help but wonder if the vibes experienced by some might be related to the tires that are fitted and not the engine. I see quite a variety of tires and tread lug being used. I'm running AVON Trailriders which are primarily a street tire and my 2015 model seems very smooth for a small motorcycle.

A trick I learned to keep your ass from hurting get a lawn chair crushing about an inch or so thick this allows air to circulate and your ass dry if you sweat and it sticks to the seat it will start hurting after 50 miles. I used to run 2000 miles a month I found out what was comfortable.

what was the braking characteristic when braking down hill fully loaded ? I think that is more important than acceleration when it comes to the safety factor when 2 up

@shiftupadventure 3 года назад
Normal considering the load. I did had to be a little harder on brakes, like to press them harder but all in normal boundaries I'd say. It wasn't an issue at all. Cheers 👍👋

New 2023 honda hawe two brake discs in front wheel. But most important IS that you drive safe and be carful

I’m surprised you didn’t stiffen up the rear suspension right from the start. It’s one of the most obvious things to do when carrying a pillion and luggage.

Yes I agree, it would make things better and bike easier to handle 👍👋

Wow the fuel consumption seems Massive compared to the amazing fuel consumption in city that are 80Mpg i think is 3.5 Litres per 100km

I have the same bike...my consumption usually around 4 l/100 km...you can do less or more...but I've noticed in this video, the rider doesn't use the 6th gear where he could...and sometimes I think he could shit upper....

Did you adjust the rear suspension?

Hello! What do you think about the rear shock? Does it swing up and down sometimes, in rodas.in bad condition? I have cb500x 2021 and i m thinking to upgrade rear shock. Thanks

@shiftupadventure 2 года назад
Well, to be honest, yes it does. It's not intimidating at least to me but yes it does.

If this sells well I would expect maybe a CB800X? Then again Honda is proving you don’t need a 1250 to tour.

I feel the vibration issue is way over played. My 2015 is not really bothersome. I have to look for it to feel it.

Thanks, I've sorted out vibrations with handlebar risers and foam grips, no more issues, at least for me. Cheers 👍👋

I have the same year bike as you, you should try the rear suspension and set it to maximum or 1 less on the rear and front suspension turned to one full revolution on both sides and then retest you will be surprised how well it handles.

@shiftupadventure 3 года назад

you didn't take into consideration adjusting your suspension based on all your total weight? if not, then it is not a good review. Adjusting suspension is a MUST for every weight, for every ride. There is a formula for suspension adjustment in case you do not know.
