What happens if the stator fails on a Honda CX?
If the high voltage coil on the stator fails, it can cause major problems with the bike entire ignition system. If the coil fails completely (open circuit) the bike will not run or start at all, as there is no power for the CDI unit to generate an ignition pulse.
Why does my Honda CX have bad ignition?
Problems with the spark plug lead and cap can also cause ignition problems. since the ignition “spike” is a very high voltage, and insulation cracks and gaps can allow some of this energy to “bleed off” before it reaches the spark plug. Corrosion in the spark plug cap can also cause bad connection issues.
Is the Honda CX500 considered a dedicated model?
None were truly dedicated models but the Honda CX 500 and 650 could be considered the closest to a dedicated platform, despite being based on the original CX. Sounds confusing, I know, but a huge amount of testing and development went into the CX500 and 650.
How many ohms does a Honda CX ignition use?
Transistorized Honda ignition uses 3 ohm coils. Charles. The CX’s use 7,500 ohm coils with the CDI ignition. This means you will measure 7,500 ohms across the secondary of the coil. Note that to measure this 7,500 you need to do one of two things One unscrew the spark plug connector from the wire. OR

Is the CX500 the same engine as the GL500?
The novel design of the CX500 proved that Honda had not been idling in neutral since the end of the CB500T. The CX500 and the GL500 Silver Wing which joined it in Honda’s line in 1981 shared the same overall engine configuration—one that caught most observers off-guard.
