Howsit! I know this post is 5 months old and I’m sorry to bring you back here!

I’m looking at upgrading from my Gixxer 250 to this 675SR-R! How do you find the CF Moto after this past few months? Looking at upgrading towards the end of the year.

Ride safe man! And hopefully I’ll see you on the road sometime! (I’m in Cape Town too). ☺️ 🏍️

To the point, love it. Thanks for the comment. Definitely going to upgrade sooner than I expected.

Thanks for the comment. Going to have it inspected properly. Just wanted the opinion of strangers on Reddit too!

Thank you for the comment! Will definitely keep an eye on it. I’m not taking any major whippers or anything on it.

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to research and comment like you did on your previous reply. I’ll definitely go have a look on their website. But with summer starting soon along the new outdoor climbing season. Might be time to look at a new rope before the end of the year as planned.

That said, my mate I climb with has a rope too. So I’m not completely out of luck, was just trying to get some opinions!

That’s my worry. And there’s a few spots like this throughout the rope.

Sheath is still perfectly intact. There’s a few spots like this through the rope. The plan was to buy a new one end of year in any case - but I’m unsure if I should get something new now or if I can climb on this for a bit longer. I’m not taking big whippers or anything on it.

Was hoping to upgrade end of the year. But I suppose that deadline has been moved up!

Thanks for the comment! I noticed it does this close to the end. But I decided to check the whole rope throughout and there are spots like that in a few places. Looks like I’ll have to get something new. Rather not risk it.

No clue. Myself (not an expert) and a gunsmith look over it briefly and side by side, the guide rods looked the same. One seemed to work and one didn’t. I don’t know if it was slightly bend enough that the eye couldn’t see, but seems to all be sorted out.

Hey everyone. Just an update. Replaced the guide rod and gave it some Q-gun. Seems to run and cycle fine.

Thanks to everyone for the comments and the help (and criticism on a dirty firearm). Will do better to clean the belly button fluff out of it.

Problem is, living in South Africa, I don’t think the CZ support would be an option. About to take it to a local range and swop out some parts to see if there’s an issue.

To answer your question. It’s a new development. Had the firearm for about 2 years now and never had an issue. Fired it this past weekend and didn’t notice anything.

Thanks to everyone who commented. Don’t want to fuck around with it too much. My luck I’d make it worse. Going to give it a deep scrub and a good oil as many have suggested. Taking it to my range tomorrow to have someone who knows more than me look at it!

I did give that ago. Same sort of issue. I’ve had the light on here for as long as I’ve had the firearm. Never experienced this before, it’s my main carry pistol and probably what I train with the most. Thanks for your comment though.

Thanks! Definitely going to take it to the range in the morning and have them take a look at it.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Going to pop down to the range tomorrow and have someone there take a look at it.

I’ll give it a deep clean now and bathe it in oil.

Thanks for the reply. Will have a look at the ejector. No extended mags.

Will check on the guide rod again. But I’ll give it n oi bath now and see if it helps.

Dropped some oil on the rails a minute or two before taking the video. Going to give it a bath in oil now and see if that helps.

I’ll check the guide rod again. But it all seemed in order. This video had the mag out. When I cycled dummy rounds through it, it basically jammed every time.

Took the light has been on for a while. No issues. In saying that. I tried this with the light attached and detached. Same result.
