Title: Honda XR500 C&J Fox monoshock HPF
Post by: eric318 on September 04, 2012, 02:16:41 pm

Hello all,

I am close to completing the reassembly of a Honda XR500 C&J monoshock HPF.
It is fitted with a shock absorber that has a separate gas canister with a Fox sticker.
I am looking for setting and tuning info for this baby. Any tips?
(I will also contact Thor).
Thank you.

Slowly, the restoration is getting there.
The spring at the rear feels way to hard, the front fork is too soft, engine is back firing, valves need adjustment, gears sometimes don't go in easily, but it is good to go for a ride. :)
