CX500TC I was riding the other day when all of the sudden, My electrical power flickered and all hell broke loose. I started running on one cylinder, tach was all over the place, the clock reset, and it stopped charging. I pulled over and shut it off and restarted. Voltage came back up and climbed back to 14 Volts. Any amount of throttle would kill it or send it back into 1 cylinder mode. I let it charge up for a bit since I figured it had stopped charging at some point. After about 5 minutes at idle, I revved it up and drove it home... no problems, no voltage drop. strange. Today I put a new battery into it and took it for a ride. Rode it for about an hour until I had the same issue, but a bit different. This time I was at a light and it stalled, not sure where the voltage was at when it did it, but once restarted, I was fine again. I tried wiggling the kill and ignition switch to moderate success... once when I shut the bike off in gear while moving with the kill... when I booted it back up, it was doing it's 1 cylinder thing... I'm just so corn-fused. 1979 Honda CX500 1982 Honda CX500 TTTTUUURRRBBBOOOOOOOO!!!!!    Report
