Jumped from 5 kilometres up for my 40th, it definitely feels a bit windier falling to earth haha, Do they make a bikini fairing for the CL500 ?, I ride everyday on a motorway section to work on my Vulcan S 650, & am going to change the sprockets to more teeth next year, should lower the revs by at least 1k at higher speeds, Cheers
Having owned the CL500 for 12 months, @ 600 miles I increased the front sprocket by one tooth to lose 510 rpm's, as I have on my other previous 11 500 Honda's, and my current Hornet 500,..... IT IS PANTS, the CL is mapped differently and produces torque & power lower in the rev range, the 16T just makes it 'lug' in 4th, 5th & top, I changed it back after the first & only ride, it was a disaster, lesson learned, the CL is a lanes and B road blaster, get the NX, CBR or Hornet and change to 16T F/S and they'll be great on A roads, duals & Motorway, if that is your thing. My CL has now done nearly 5k miles, never missed a beat 👍 Fun bike, but not a tourer, as it moves about a lot, rubbish suspension. 😐, but great fun on the lanes 🙂

Why lower the RPM? Stock is fine for the power.
@@SwenglishSteve650 yes they do make a bikini fairing for the CL500 but I don’t do much motorway riding so should be fine.
