The 8v liquid-cooled parallel twin engine was developed for the new generation 500cc range introduced in 2013, and aimed firmly at A2 licence holders with its 35kW power output. A high proportion of components are shared across the three models, with bodywork, lighting and handlebars being the only obvious difference between them. An example of the Honda CB500F has been fully stripped down, photographed and rebuilt in the Haynes workshop. Other models in the range have been examined too. In all over 800 photographs have been taken.
With a Haynes Manual, you can do it yourself, from simple maintenance to full repairs. Every Manual is based on a complete stripdown of the bike.
