CX500 GL500 650 Global

Hi, Goose here, in Emmet county, Michigan. (the very tip of Michigan's Lower Penninsula).

My CX has been with me for about 2000 miles. I'm really enjoying the smooth power it puts out. Very similar to an old BMW 75/6 I had. Before I actually had one and knew anything about them, I wanted to buy a CX and turn it into a Silverwing.... but that won't happen, so I'll be satisfied with what I have and save up for a 'real' 'Wing.

Welcome.This is a new resource but with a few,"Old Hands".We know most of the things about CX/GLs between us and there's always something to learn about these bikes

In fact and for the 1st time I think I've just had an ATU fail on one of my CDI CX.I have spares but am investigaing as well speak.I have not seen anyone post this problem before in any other forum so it's another un-charted area to learn about.
I've just serviced the engine and put it back in but was having what I thought were carbs problems but now I think I've narrowed it down the the ATU unit(Automatic timing Unit) as it's impedences are out of the service limits.

This is a rare problem but one that with the age of the bikes may occur more.
