2007 Honda CBF 500 Questions & Answers
Can I push start a 2007 Honda 500
Hi Linda:
The short answer is yes.
I'll add a couple of extra comments.
- You can push it for ever and it won't start if it does not have fuel or spark. So, I;ll ask, Why do you want to push start it? If the battery is dead, or it won't hold a charge, that sounds like an appropriate fix.
- Push starting a bike can be dangerous. You have to consider that when the motor starts, the bike will want to accelerate, and probably rapidly. Know where you're planning on going if it starts.
- Technique.... It's easier to push a bike that's in neutral than when in gear with the clutch dragging, so the safe and easiest way to push start the bike is to have the ignition switch on, choke set where you think it should be, transmission in neutral, have a rider sit on the bike, and get it rolling downhill. The rider will then pull the clutch lever, put it into second gear, and let the clutch out at the same time as they drop their weight onto the seat. Tricky for a novice, but the weight drop helps to keep the back tire from sliding.
Think Safety!! If you're a novice rider, I would not recommend that you try this.
I have a honda cb
it sound like a starter issue if you rock it your effecting starter engagement try tapping on the starter while your trying to start it in nuetral if you hear a change in the starter you know that's the issue. ( the starter)
Bike will not start, clicking noise, lights and
If there is a clicking sound it is most likely the battery that is too weak to pull in the solenoid and hold it there while the starter drains the current. I think you need to either charge or replace the battery.
Having removed the end caps from my cbf500
After you remove the weight try putting the screw back in a few threads ang get hold of the screw head with pliers and try to pull out the rest of the weights,hope this helps has for me!!
Brake light is on constantly until front brake is
Check for a faulty ground connection of the tail light. The base of the tail light assembly (the metal framework) has got to be electrically grounded to the bike's chassis for correct operation.
If that fails to correct the problem, verify that the brake light switches are plugged into their respective harness connections correctly (each wire, color to color).
Fuel reserve
Very doubtful. They haven't used reserves on motorcyles for a while, since the frame design changed to allow for a tank that had no partition in it (it used to sit over the top-tube of the frame, now it sits in the frame instead). The low-level indicator lights also made reserves obsolete.
Hope this helps,
matt
How do i take handle bars off my Honda 500 cbf 2007, as it has bent when it blew over in the wind recently, causing damage to the right side handlwebar as well as the front brake lever and foot rest,
your fluid case is the brake master cylinder. You're doing well, just take things off, make notes and replace them in reverse order. Here's a couple things that's helped me with rounded off hardware;
1. A good penetrant before starting. There's tons of them on the market, liquid wrench is good, the best I ever used is home made- 1/2 and 1/2 transmission fluid and acetone never let me down.
I keep some old sockets around and use one of them a bit smaller than the rounded head and pound it on. If that fails a good old vise grips, if I have no head left I cut it with a dremel tool. After having the part off I can work on it on a bench, let it soak over night with penetrant and get a good hold of the remaining stud with a vise grips. If you have a torch, a little reasonable heat helps. Parts like you master cylinder bind up becuase the part and the bolt are different types of metal. Be patient, take your time. I have confidence you'll beat it!
1975 Honda 500T runs but only on one cylinder.
It could be a lot of different thing... compression
in the cylinder could be too low to support proper combustion, it also could be
electrical. If you don’t have compression gauges you cant really do that test
yourself, but as far as the electrical goes I can help
First off you will need a water spray bottle, and a
spark plug wrench/socket and any tools needed to remove the coils and inspect
to see if they are still properly grounded (free of rust/corrosion, and any
breaks in the wire or wires insulation)
First let the bike run for about 2-3 minutes to let
the exhaust system heat up, the exhaust from the cylinder that is running
should be allot hotter then the cylinder that isn’t (yes the none running
cylinder is still hot due to heat transfer so don’t touch it!!!)
At this time spray a light mist of water on each of
the exhaust in the same spot on the first bend of the exhaust you can reach
closest to the cylinder (try not to spray cool water on the cylinder head, in
theory it could heat stress, causing it to crack) You should be able to tell
which exhaust is hotter by the rate of water evaporation, in turn telling your
which cylinder is running
Once you’ve determined which cylinder is running or
not for sure take the spark plug and coil's and switch them with the non
running cylinder (its a good idea to ark them with a sharpie so they don’t get
mixed up, while switching them inspect the coils and spark plugs as well as all
grounds and wires for obvious signs of malfunction or breaks in wire insulation
Once you have swapped out the know good components
from the running cylinder with the parts in question try to re-start the
bike< If it starts let it run again for another 2-3 min and test to see
which cylinder was running....
If the problem jumps cylinders you know its either
the coil or spark plug...if both cylinders start up now...it was an improper or
loss ground causing insufficient spark
If it stays in the same cylinder then depending
weather you have an ecu or not, im not sure for that old of a bike, but you
could check the pins at the ecu for corrosion and clean them......if not then
your last option is to check the non running cylinder compression
Fuel in the oil when
Fuel in the oil typically happens when you park the bike but do not turn off the petcock. If the float sticks or a float needle leaks the fuel will run in the manifold and past the rings into the oil. Back in 1983 the CB650SC (even when new) would do this occasionally for no reason whatsoever. If all your components are in good shape or have been replaced , the best way to eliminate the potential for this problem is to get in the habit of turning your gas off when not riding. If gas gets in your oil because you leave the petcock on , and all the carb components are in good order, your only option is to change the oil before continuing to drive. If you are having the problem while you are driving, take your carbs apart and clean them , place your floats in gas to check there buoyancy and consider new needle and seat assemblies.
Honda PC50 moped VIN decoder
To read the serial number on a Honda PC50 moped, follow these steps:
Locate the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The VIN is a unique code that provides information about your moped. On a Honda PC50, you can find the VIN in the following places:
Under the Air Filter Cover: Look on the left-hand side, just above the engine. The VIN should be stamped there. It typically looks like this: PC50 - 1234567.
Frame Number: The frame number is another term for the VIN. It's usually located near the air filter body.
Decode the VIN: The VIN contains important details about your moped, including the year of manufacture. Here's how to interpret it:
The 9th digit of the VIN is a check digit.
The 10th digit represents the year code. For example:
A = 1980
B = 1981
C = 1982
D = 1983
E = 1984
F = 1985
G = 1986
H = 1987
J = 1988
K = 1989
L = 1990
M = 1991
N = 1992
P = 1993
R = 1994
S = 1995
T = 1996
V = 1997
W = 1998
X = 1999
1 = 2000
2 = 2001
3 = 2002
Note that if your scooter was manufactured between February 1986 and February 1987, it's likely to be a '87 model;
Additional Resources:
If you have the full VIN, you can use the NHTSA VIN decoder to get detailed information about your moped.
Alternatively, you can call Honda with your VIN, and they will provide you with the necessary information.

Honda 500 TRX fa6 has PS on the dash….what does it mean ?
The Power Steering has failed. There has been a factory recall for a suddenly failing electrical steering shaft, that could cause the rider to loose control. This does not have to be your problem but anyhow either the electronics or the pump failed. Error codes or messages usually have to be erased by a simple reset procedure or disconnecting a plug, after repairs are done.
