Common Technical Issues: HONDA CX500D Deluxe
BRAND: HONDA
MODEL: CX500D Deluxe
YEARS: 80-81
CATEGORY: MOTORCYCLE
TECHNICAL ISSUE DETAILS
These Honda models all have a permanent magnet battery charging system, consisting of a stator with three output wires, which feed into a regulator/rectifier. This unit rectifies the AC into DC and regulates this DC to 14.5V to ensure proper battery charging. The output from the regulator/rectifier connects to the battery through a main fuse. Common faults in this system: 1) Regulator/rectifier failure. The OEM regulator/rectifier is a commonly failing part. (Our new regulator/rectifier has been completely redesigned with a super heavy duty rectifier bridge.) 2) Stator failure. The stator fails regularly. Causes are age, heat and vibration. Test and replace when it tests bad. 3) Bad connections in the system. Check all connections between stator and regulator/rectifier, and between regulator/rectifier and battery. Make sure all connections are clean and good. These bikes are fairly old now and will need serious attention given to the connections. We recommend using the fault finding chart. This guide will help you diagnose the charging system quickly. Honda used two different stators for these years, please make sure to check what style of stator your bike uses.
