Sounds like a lot of fun... Im currently wrenching on the bike though so it will be a little while yet. Just bought a 78 CX500 last week, was running and it stalled out and wouldnt restart. Narrowed it down to CDI ignition trouble and working on sorting it out, other than that it was kept inside and in great condition. I would love to join yall for a ride when I get up and running.

Very cool. I wanted to mention this forum at the class, but it just never came up. Cullen just kept talking there at the end about the other clubs.

If you know of any others from the class on here, give me a shout. We can all do one of Scott's newbie rides - kinda like a class reunion!

Great, cheap way to start one's addiction, imho...

Vee Dub... If you need any help with diagnosing or wrenching just drop me a line. I have seen all kinds of troubles with these dinosaurs. Especially with the electrics. The good news is that in about a year or so you'll know every inch of your bike. And how to go about fixing it. Even better than that is; you don't have to pull off miles of plastic and radiator to do the simple things. ;-) Heck a valve adjustment only takes about 45 minutes to do on mine :-D ....

Thanks for the offer HiSPL... I will let you know if I run into trouble with it. Im allready pretty familiar with alot of the electrics, just need to understand how the CDI iginition ticks...

Hey buck000.. Yea cheap was what I was shooting for being in school. The old budget is being streched thin :mrgreen: As long as it gets from point a to b....
