About the Honda CX500T Turbo
Use the repair routes below to separate front and rear brake hydraulics, cooling-system seals and cylinder-head parts. Confirm CX500T or CX500TC 1982 in each listing before ordering.
The 1982 CX500 Turbo was the first Honda motorcycle sold with fuel injection. Honda also describes it as the world's first mass-produced turbo motorcycle. Honda's parts designation is CX500TC, while PartsNMore also carries service products tagged CX500T. Both labels are kept visible here without treating every CX-family part as interchangeable.
Build the order around the assembly
Front and rear master cylinders use different repair kits, and the rear caliper kit services a different assembly from the rear master cylinder. The water-pump mechanical seal is separate from engine-cover gaskets. CX500TC-tagged clutch and cover parts are linked where their listings explicitly name the 1982 Turbo.
Do not extend this fitment to a carbureted CX500 or the 1983 CX650 Turbo unless the individual listing names that exact model and year.
Identify the model and plan the repairModel and application differences
| Repair area | Verified product route | Ordering check |
|---|---|---|
| Front brake hydraulics | Front master-cylinder kit | Lists CX500T 1982; confirm bore, piston style and reservoir. |
| Rear brake hydraulics | Rear master-cylinder kit / rear caliper kit | Both list CX500T 1982 but service different assemblies. |
| Water pump | Mechanical seal | The rotating seal does not include every gasket or oil seal opened during service. |
| Cylinder head | Valve-stem seal | Sold individually; confirm the required quantity and valve position. |
| Clutch and engine covers | CX500TC Turbo parts guide | Use TC-tagged products only where the listing names CX500TC 1982. |
Identify your motorcycle before orderingCX500T frame, engine and model checklist
Use the motorcycle's original documentation and physical markings before ordering.
- Confirm a 1982 CX500 Turbo. Honda's factory parts code for this model is CX500TC.
- Check both CX500T and CX500TC product applications, but require the listing to name 1982 before treating it as a Turbo fit.
- Record the complete frame/VIN and engine markings, especially if the motorcycle has a replacement engine or modified wiring.
- For brake work, identify whether the part belongs to the front master cylinder, rear master cylinder or rear caliper. These are separate repair paths.
- For a coolant or oil leak, identify the exact mechanical seal, cover or case joint before selecting a part.
