MANUAL ORGANIZATION

• This manual provides service information and procedures for the Honda CX500. All di- mensions and capacities are expressed in Eng- lish units familiar to U.S. mechanics as well as
  in metric units.
• This chapter provides general information and specifications. See Table 1 at the end of this chapter. It also discusses equipment and tools useful both for preventive maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Chapter Two provides methods and suggestions for quick and accurate diagnosis and repair of problems. Troubleshooting procedures discuss typical symptoms and logical methods to pinpoint the trouble.
• Chapter Three explains all periodic lubrica- tion and routine maintenance necessary to keep your bike running well. Chapter Three also includes recommended tune-up procedures, eliminating the need to constantly consult chap- ters on the various assemblies.
• Subsequent chapters describe specific sys- tems such as the engine, transmission, and electrical system. Each chapter provides disassem- bly, repair, and assembly procedures in simple step-by-step form. If a repair is impractical for a home mechanic, it is so indicated. It is usually faster and less expensive to take such repairs to a dealer or competent repair shop. Specifica- tions concerning a particular system are in- cluded at the end of the appropriate chapter.
• Some of the procedures in this manual specify special tools. In all cases, the tool is il- lustrated either in actual use or alone. A well- equipped mechanic may find that he can substitute similar tools already on hand or he can fabricate his own.
  The terms NOTE, CAUTION, and WARNING have specific meanings in this manual. A NOTE pro- vides additional information to make a step or procedure easier or clearer. Disregarding a NOTE could cause inconvenience, but would not cause damage or personal injury.
• A CAUTION emphasizes areas where equipment damage could result. Disregarding a CAU TION could cause permanent mechanical damage; however, personal injury is unlikely.
• A WARNING emphasizes areas where personal injury or even death could result from negligence. Mechanical damage may also oc cur. WARNINGS are to be taken seriously. In some cases, serious injury or death has resulted from disregarding similar warnings. Throughout this manual keep in mind two conventions. "Front" refers to the front of the bike.
• The front of any component such as the engine is the end which faces toward the front of the bike. The "left" and "right" side refer to positions from the perspective of a person sitting on the bike facing forward.
• For exam- ple, the shift lever is on the left side. These rules are simple, but even experienced mechanics oc- casionally become disoriented.
