Testing using a phone to record better audio on motorcycle #hondacb500f
Something I have been meaning to do for ages was to use an old mobile phone to record audio under the seat of my Honda CB500F to try and reduce wind noise and get more exhaust noise. It takes more work to edit the videos, as you have to sync up the audio (and making a clip like this took a lot more work than just normal clips will).
I just wrapped an old iphone that my brother was no longer using and just recorded the audio using the voice notes app (i think that is what it was called). The most annoying thing was getting the sound file from the iphone onto the computer (the phone isn't setup at all and I use no other apple devices). I've got an old android phone that I'm going to give a go and see how it compares, as it will be easier to get the sound file from it.

Overtaking cars on a Honda CB500F
zhlédnutí 576Před měsícem
How does the Honda CB500F go overtaking cars? Pretty well actually. I often sit behind cars for ages because I'm worried that it doesn't have enough power to get around, but every time I do overtake cars I remember that it actually goes pretty well, you just have to make sure you drop a gear or 2. A bit more power to get quicker would be nice, but it does pretty well.
Honda CB500F - hoped it wouldn't rain but it did
zhlédnutí 425Před 3 měsíci
When I was leaving work on my Honda CB500F there were some dark looking clouds but nothing on the radar. I hoped it wouldn't rain as I'd taken my rain pants out of my bag before leaving for work because the forecast was for a fine day. Luckily I'd left my rain jacket in there in case it got cold. It didn't take long for me to get wet and then had to ride 40 minutes home with wet pants.

On my way to work this morning I thought I'd have a go at a few 0-100kmh attempts on my 2023 Honda CB500F. I had a backpack on with some stuff in it (my shoes for work, rain jacket and a few other things). The road was a little bit damp, but with the power of this bike and the tyres on this bike, it wasn't really an issue. I have increased the size of the front sprocket by 1 tooth, which does s...

Thanks!
I have the cbx, same engine. Really a very good one. Amazing bikes.
looks good! I want me one!
Thank you
amazing coloration
Hey!! This video got recommended in my feed. First off lovely video. Secondly there is a lot of shakyness in the video that needs to be smoother
Thanks for the feedback. I think some of the shakiness would be due to movement of the chest mount. I have a lot of layers of clothing on (because it's winter here) so it is pressed up against a softer surface. I do have stabilisation turned on in the gopro settings. Maybe i need to try turning it up to boost instead of standard
Nice ride man, big hug from other side of the globe, Brazil
Thank you!
Nice! I’ve been trying to decide between a Ninja 500 or the CB500F for my first one and this is making me lean a lot more towards the CB
What's the location?
Noosa, Queensland, Australia
Strange comments on this video
Well it is a strange video
is this the land down-under
Certainly is
Video Starts at 5.24
Sorry about that. Editing software decided to render part of the video i deleted instead of moving everything to the start of the clip. I've cropped the clip.
I have never had an issue doing that, no need for extra power to do this. 😊 why do you not push the bike a more, in your videos one might thing that The Cb 500 is a turtle 😅
There's a few things to take into account. First is that videos often make things look slower than it actually was. Doing the speed limit looks very slow. Doing 20 or 30kmh over the speed limit looks normal. You have to push really hard and do stupid speeds to get it to look fast. I'm sure using ND filters and different settings on the camera to introduce some motion blur might make it look faster, but I'm too lazy for that. Secondly, I'm not really keen on drawing any unwanted attention by posting incriminating evidence.
I have a all black 2023... never seen a yellow one.
Where abouts are you located? As far as i know yellow is the only colour we got in Australia once they got the update in 2022. Before that we had red or black (and other colours in the first generation)
How comfortable is that seat?
I don't find it too bad. The majority of my riding is commuting to work, which is about an hour each way and that's fine. I've done 3 hours on it and didn't have an issue. I've sat on other bikes and found them instantly uncomfortable (although once riding them it becomes much less noticeable). I will add 2 things though. First is that it did take a couple of rides to get used to, especially being that the bike was new, so the seat itself needed up break in a little. And my body needed to get used to sitting on the seat. The second thing is that 2 or 3 times after about an hour on the bike I've found it a bit uncomfortable. They have been random occurrences in the 10 months I've owned it and it certainly isn't all the time.
nice motorcycle 🏍️
Thanks
Awesome video mate. I’m curious, did changing the sprocket mess with the speedo at all? Or does the speedo run of the actual wheel speed sensors from the abs?
Thanks mate. Yes, changing the gearing alters the speedo accuracy. With the stock gearing the speedo reads about 5% higher than what you are actually doing (so when it says 100kmh you're actually only doing about 95kmh). But with the 1 tooth bigger front cog it actually reads higher than what you are doing by a tiny amount. When it reads 100kmh you're doing about 101kmh. So it does require a bit more paying attention to the speedo. I've actually put the stock gearing back on to see what it's like, as i changed the gearing after doing 1000kms then did just over 6000kms with the taller gearing. Going back to stock does feel a bit faster, but to be honest there's not much in it. I did some 0-100 tests with the stock gearing and there's bugger all difference (maybe 0.1 seconds). It is slightly more willing to lift the front wheel on very hard launches, but it's not exactly a wheelie machine either way. I've only done 2 rides with the stock gearing since swapping back.
If you have a 3D printer or have a mate that has one you can print some plastic holders for the batteries and hang them from the bottom of the top shelf. Jeez that's a tad confusing. Basically screw the plastic battery holder to the bottom of the above shelf the paint brushes are in and then slide the batteries into the holder so the hang from above. You can do the same thing and hang the battery power tools from the bottom of a shelf. *Thingiverse* is a search engine for 3D printer designs. Just type _Ozito Battery Holder_ or even _Einhell Battery Holder_ and there at present 6 battery holder files you can download and print off. Frees up a but of space by allowing you to use the usually unused part of the above shelf. Google *Thingiverse Alternatives* and it'll show what you just asked for. 👍 *Thank You* for the video.
Might be worth keeping your eye out for a water proofing spray and nab it when it's on Special so your bag won't get wet when it rains. The material didn't look like a waterproof type but then I am looing at on a screen from 1,500kms away. Bloody cold in Melbourne now. 🥶 I had a CB200 48 years ago and that frame allowed the cheap bicycle saddle bags to be attached to each side. These new fangled frames you _young whipper snippers_ now ride lack some good old fashioned functions. 😲 😁
Thanks for the tip. I've got some scotch guard spray that i can use. I had also thought of getting a generic cover for the bag as well. I did get caught in a shower riding not that long ago and when I'm moving the bag doesn't really get wet. When the bike is parked at work i have a cover over it, so it's dry then when it's on the bike. Although recently I've been just wearing it and not had it strapped to the bike. I've been looking at trying to make up an different way to mount the bag so it's easier to install/remove. I'm actually a bicycle mechanic, so was looking at making up some brackets to mount some pannier racks to, as I've got a set of old ones to use. But all that has taken a back seat to trying to stay warm at the moment. We've had a few 3 degree mornings in the past week or 2 (which I've not ridden on, coldest I've done so far was 8 degrees) and it won't be long before we start getting down to zero or below. We've had minus 4 here before, but at least we still warm up to close to 20 degrees on those days. I've got my body mostly sorted but need to sort my hands out. I bought some new gloves but i think i need some heated grips as well as some hand guards of some sort to stop the wind.
An interesting point you make with the different test items you used. 👍
Thanks for watching
*Thank You* for this. I'm off to the now *_not so_* SuperCheapAuto in the morning to get that breaker bar ratchet adapter as they are on special till the 16 June 2024. Gotta prepare for when I can no longer pull the mower alive and that day is fast approaching. 😲
Thanks for watching. I've stopped using that mower because it got hard to start even with the drill. I think it's either the carby (which i was having to clean every spring) or it's getting low on compression (I've had that mower for about 23 years and it was second hand when i got it). I'm now using a mower that i inherited from my grandparents and while it's old, it is pretty easy to start by hand. When it dies I'll probably go electric, as I don't have a very big area that i use a push mower for. I've got a ride-on that i do most of the yard with.
I got mine in the kit with the plastic hard case and the set of sockets that come with it brand new never opened for $50 on market place from a crack head 😂 I told him if you have any more power tools let me know 😂
Nice.
Underrated bike, and awesome for bikers of all abilities. Absolutely asskicking.
Me too, wasn't supposed to rain but did, just got home from it.
While i prefer the dry, i am ok with riding in the wet as long as I'm prepared for it. The fact that i had taken my rain pants out of my bag that morning and it rained at the start of a 50 minute commute was less than awesome. And i hate the smell of a wet, hot engine
rev it out!
I was. I hit the limiter in first on 1 attempt. The 2 fastest attempts were shifting about 2kmh below hitting the rev limiter (so only 100 or 200rpm below the rev limiter - basically as close as i could get while also concentrating on riding the bike). The digital taco isn't that easy to read. Maybe I'll have to adjust the shift light to a much higher rev range and see if that makes any difference.
@@mad082sss I got scared !
@@mad082sss hmm my cbr500r can hit 0-100 in 4.7
@emilthomsen45 there's many variables to consider. For starters, i don't have the stock gearing. Mine is taller, which will slow it down. If you have stock gearing and have timed it to 100kmh on the stock speedo, then you are actually only timing it to about 95kmh. When my speedo says 100kmh, then that is 100kmh according to my gps (i tested it before and after changing the gearing). Also, the Cbr500r is more aerodynamic than the naked cb500f, so the faster you go, the more advantage it has. It will accelerate better at higher speeds and also have a better top speed. There's also rider size. I'm 6'3 and weigh over 85kg with all my gear on (including the backpack i had on). I'm not exactly aerodynamic. It's starting to get cold here, so I had 2 jumpers on under my jacket. And it was my first attempt at doing hard launches, so I'm sure people can do it faster.
@@mad082sss sorry did not read/see that you have put on a taller gearing
From now on it’s the ‘trumpet button’.
Toot toot!
So cool 😎
Thanks for watching
Nice time. Glad to see you enjoying the simple pleasures.
Thank you
Thanks for not using a nausea-inducing helmet cam. 'Love the yellow-and-black (+ it helps to be seen).
In not a fan of the constant back and forth when checking for traffic, etc either, that's why I've gone back to the chest mount, plus my helmet whistles if my visor is up (i don't hear it in my helmet though). The bright colour was 1 of the reasons i bought the bike. I don't like all black bikes and don't get why people then buy all black gear. I have a while helmet and my rain gear is black and fluro yellow, because there's ever a time you want to be as visible as possible it's in the rain. Thanks for watching
Wow, I miss doing night rides on my bike. Used to ride when it was past 11 and there was no traffic, and it felt like I was in my own world XD. Thanks for the video
Yeah that's a cool feeling. Thanks for watching.
cool bike ngl
Thanks

VERY GOOD BIKE MAKERS,,,
Yeah they are
Where you put your camera ????
That's on a chest mount. The audio seems to be less affected by wind on my chest compared to my helmet
@@mad082sss I think it’s the best place to put camera. 👌
Thanks. I made a chin mount for my helmet but i think i prefer the chest mount. As I said, the audio is a bit better because it seems to be a bit out of the wind and if i have my visor open it can sometimes whistle a bit (which i can't hear in the helmet, but the camera picked up). The other thing I like from watching it back is that the chest mount footage is always steady. You don't get the sudden movements of checking for traffic at intersections, etc. But there are times where you want the camera to be looking at something in particular and that's hard with a chest mount.
Great first bike. Taught me a bunch and great power for a beginner with absolutely 0 experience
They are good fun. This hill up onto the highway is 1 of the few places i wish i had more power though.
Nice riding, the cb500f is a solid bike.

This bike is too big for you.
Thanks for your feedback. Care to explain why you think it's too big?
Thank you very much for your video. I’ll go get one of these cups for my filter. 😅
Thanks for watching. My filter cup has come in real handy. I've bought a motorbike and it conveniently uses the same size cup as both my cars. And the service manual specifies that the filter be done up with a torque wrench, which can't be done without the cup wrench.
Very interesting video, i do have a question thought, on the north east side there is the weird grab handle that moves and i cant figure out how to lock it in place, everytime i grab it and it moves the bike dont wanna move no more, i was thinking maybe some duct tape to make it stop?
Sorry, I did mean to cover that but forgot, along with a few other things (looks like I'll have to make a second video). That grab handle (well done on using the correct terminology) controls the scenery disengagement valve. It allows you to disengage the scenery/motions from the noises. There's no need to duct tape it in place. Just remember, just like your pecker, there's a time and place to grab it but you don't need to be holding it all the time
Some nice bit of country side. Seems like a nice little bike. I'm looking into a cb500f myself.
It is pretty nice around here. Everything is nice and green at the moment because it's been unseasonally wet for the past few months. 6 months ago everything was very dry and brown. The best bit is that because i live in a small town, it only takes a few minutes to get there. It only takes 10 or 15 minutes to get from 1 edge of town to the other
is there a dirt bike that has twin front discs with ABS? I cant decide if supermoto dirt bike or this.
Not that I'm aware of, but they are much lighter bikes so they don't really need twin front discs. And i don't think any have ABS because it doesn't work very well on dirt, and because you will often be locking up the rear wheel on purpose. Some of the big adventure bikes have it that you can turn off, but they aren't true dirt bikes and definitely not a supermoto.
@@mad082sss oh I thought twin front disks on any bike would make you stop sooner
Cheers mate.. you've sealed my thought on buying this pack. I've already got the ozito whipper snipper, cordless mower drill and impact drill.. this pack will definitely be an added bonus
Yeam mate, it's hard to beat value wise.
@mad082sss bought them yesterday from Bunnings, tried and tested and they're bloody awesome. With a 5 year warranty and good value.. can't beat it. Cheers for the review 👍
The killer feature of the Ozito ecosystem is the low price of their batteries. From what I can see the cells inside Ozito batteries are good quality and - importantly - include a battery management chip which means individual cells are equalised too conserve battery life.
The price of everything is good. I've got 7 tools in total (drill, impact driver, impact wrench, polisher/sander, reciprocating saw, blower and hedge trimmer) and 2 batteries. None of them have missed a beat. Sure they might not have the power of more expensive tools but they do the job very well for the price
I have had these for a year. Perfectly fne for domestic use.
Nearly 3 years on and mine are still going strong too.
Bike is quick Had to adjust the clutch so i would stop doing wheelies at launch
I've not had the issue. Maybe I'm just a bit slower on the clutch. I grew up riding dirt bikes (my last 2 being 2 stroke mx bikes - a 125 and a 250) and with the power and grip of them, if you were too quick dropping the clutch on them they'd just flip straight out from underneath you
