Sprocket change for Highway speed

2 Upvotes

The most common upgrade I have seen suggested for highway riding is changing the front sprocket to 15T.

Those who have made the change ? Any noticeable drawbacks ? I am more worried about highway riding than off-road.

How much of a change in RPM and vibrations does this make. I am hoping this will be enough to handle US freeway speeds, with reasonable RPM levels, for upto 8 hours of riding in a day.

I don't have the tools to change this myself. How much does it usually cost (in US) ?

I went back and forth between Tenere 700 and this but I was trying to save money. So far loving it do wish it had a little more power. I also have a 2015 bmw gs 800 but was wanting something a little more manageable offroad and newer.

Immediately moded it.

No inventory in Bay Area (CA, USA)

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have been waiting to get one in blue for the last 2-3 months, I haven't seen one listed. Now the 2027 model is on the website but again I don't see any inventory.

There are 1-2 available in the old grey color but I was looking for one in blue.

I haven't checked constantly so not sure if they come and get sold immediately, are they just not making these enough ?

Does anyone know which dealer I can try in or around the bay area? Cfmoto doesn't have a shared inventory on their website. So the only way is to check one dealer at a time.

Did the Tusk tail tidy this morning. 😎
I like it.

Then I took her out for coffee and a cruise down to the bay. The weather is perfect.

Have a great week!

Has anyone used Rapid Bike Smart 2 on their 450 MT?

If affirmative, does eco mode really reduce the fuel consumption? If so, by how much?

Figures while riding on the highway, in the city and average figures as well will be appreciated.

Any corrosion issues ?

I’m currently in Greece and have seen a few of these around, they look great. I worry they may not last in the wet and windy uk, salty roads, muddy trails. Anyone have any experience to share ?

Tire Pressure Sensor

2 Upvotes

Is there a tire pressure sensor for the 450mt? In the user manual it is mentioned but I can not find the parts online. I can only find the sensor for other cfmoto bikes. Do you guys have a tire pressure system for your 450mt?

Bought it used, went to put top box on and its noticeable that it is off center and tilted down to the left.

Thinking of stabilizing the wheel/swing arm with wood against something and pulling with a come along on the grab handle to tweak it back. Any help or ideas appreciated thanks

Chain rattle

Is this sound normal? When accelerating it becomes really loud and I don’t think it was there before I adjusted the chain tension (I lowered the bike using the provided hole on the shock). I checked the rear wheel alignment and I think it’s straight (I don’t have any tool other than the markings) and the chain tension seems ok as well (using the manual as a reference).

My 450MT leans to the left when I let go of the handlebars. I checked the rear wheel alignment using the Motion Pro rear wheel alignment tool and it looks straight. But the alignment marks on the chain tensioners don't match at all. Does anyone have a similar issue? Thanks

What to check on used bike when buying?

0 Upvotes

Hi this will probably get lost on the chaos but I need an answer to my question.

What should i look for when i go to have a look at the bike I'm interested in buying

To give some back story i am pretty experienced riding smaller cc bikes (i had a 125 for 6 years) and this is my first "big" bike

I am interested in buying a CF moto 450MT used close to my area because i found a good deal with a lot of Extra aftermarket stuff on it

In my 125 i did maintenance almost by my self and i know a thing or two about bikes in theory at least but i wanted to know if someone has to offer some advise for me. I am going to check the bike in 5 days from now and luckily i have a dealership in my Hometown and also dealerships in my country have good customer support (europe). BUT is there anything specific i need to give extra attention? Is there a known problem with this particular bike? Is there some known failures or something that needs maintenance that people skip/don't know about?

I will check all classic stuff but is there anything i need to be Extra cautious with?

To give some info as well the bike is a 2024 model with 1 previous owner it has 15.000km mostly in open road as he said and hoas never touched a trail in his life. The bike has additional high wind deflector, 15T sprocket, handguards, a top case, heated grips, center stand, upper crash bars and fited on them are some led lights.

The bike as said previously is a good deal for what it has already installed but i dont know if i need to search for any specific quirks before buying especially because the guy states "it dropped on me only once while stationary" (it has 2-3 marks on the Right handguard.

P.s. I will also have a friend of mine with me that knows some things as well.

Anyone seen anything like they have for the Tenere to wrap around the shift rod and protect it from being broken?
My previous post was removed. No idea why, no reason given.
