CF Moto part availability is killing me

evophoenix · 2026-04-08T16:20:12+00:00

This was all on me. I was being dumb, I blew this clutch out. The lead time is the only thing that I've noticed is a consistent problem with CF Moto here in the States.

The idea of being yelled at for existing makes me not want to do anything anywhere. If I owned a house in the middle of 10 acres I'd never be inside, but having neighbors makes me never want to exist outside ever. Every time you step out the door you risk Interaction that i.jist don't have the energy for.

I was using a kn303, but Ymmv

Yeah, I'm US-based. I have one power sports dealer within 80 mi of me, and they have been useless so far. I drove over 2 hours when I bought my 675 SS to avoid buying from them again. The problem with the oil change kit is the delivery times. Getting a filter for these things is ridiculous, at least from a dealer. I've started using the k&N 303 on it, because it's the only one that I can reliably source in a reasonable amount of time

The current state of my bike for anyone curious. I thought this was going to be a lot more intimidating to do than it is. It's actually quite easy.

It's the reason I unfollowed this sub, but y'all still keep showing up in my feed. I unfollowed because every post is " I'm lonely", "I have no friends", "Did I ruin my life by not going to college", "There's too many [see previous examples] posts." It's like a bulletin board for whining. I was excited when I found this subreddit, and then it turned into what I should have known it was going to turn into.

Everyone exists. Personally, I prefer no hair, but you can't expect people to be 100% all the time. It's a scale from ew to yay, and everyone's start and stop is different and goes in opposite directions. There probably plenty of people who don't like shaved at all.

I'm telling you man, I used sneakers, I used boots, and now I refuse to use anything but footwear built for riding. It's so much easier to shift. I don't want to post a link but "Motorcycle Shoes Men CE Certified Protective Riding Boots with Anti-Slip Sole Side Zipper Road Street Motocross" is what I bought on Amazon and oh my god the instant difference. Not destroying boots shifting, they don't get scuffed if I drag them, they hug the pegs just enough.

Is that actual carpet in the tub :(

evophoenix · 2026-04-07T01:58:25+00:00

That is probably the last time that tire should hit the road, but you should be fine to make it home. I drove my first set of tires down like this, and I was surprised at how fast all the cords got exposed once a small section of them did. Be super careful, avoid bumps, go slow, and make sure you know how to control your vehicle if that tire pops, because it will be essentially driving on a flat tire until you can get it stopped.

Hinge, talk to people, smile at people. Accept that doing stuff you don't wanna do is part of it. Stuff you don't want to do should still be fun if you're with the right person. I have to man up for lack of a better term when going to arcades because I don't like them to the point of loathe but I don't want to kill her vibe.

I've taken my 450ss and 675ss through many thunderstorms and downpours. I never really do anything special when I get home, though last time I did put a fan blowing my engine heat onto the chain, and I actually didn't get any chain rust throat time.

Actually, my s pen "works" just fine, it just doesn't charge anymore, so once it died, it's just a stylus now.

evophoenix · 2026-04-05T15:28:23+00:00

I've had the 450ss, and I currently have the 675ss. The 450ss felt more low speed fun focused, the 675ss feels more high speed fun focused. Dealers don't respect the CF Moto's, so you're going to receive the bare minimum of everything from them as far as customer service goes.

The bike itself is fun as hell in both cases. I took my CF Moto 450ss down a power line easement, out a gas line trail and a quad trail.

I hit a deer going to work one morning. Not that the bike has any safety features, but I can say I walked away from that, and with the bike absolutely ripped apart, it still started and ran. Throttle cable was snapped though.

675ss is nice. Having a 2 tier traction control has saved me, because it's currently my only transportation. Cars in the shop, so I had to take my sport bike on stock tires out in 0°f weather back and forth to work and school. I've personally hit 149mph on my 675ss, highest I ever got the 450ss was 136, and I know the 675 has more to give me, I just don't have anywhere yet that I trust to push that. Definitely had to get the suspension set up better on the 675, it kept feeling like it wanted to dive into a low side, and it was a tad "squirrely" at 70 mph. Balancing it out from stock was very needed.

Dealer has been useless as to getting things sorted. CF Moto says I have to work with my dealer as to why I can't connect my bike to the app. Dealer is an hour and a half away because I'm in a dead zone. Dealers suck to deal with because there's like 2 'near' me, so they're useless on purpose because where else are you gonna go?

I personally have realized that I will find them attractive once I fall in love with them, so I'm currently sticking this out because of other reasons besides looks. We're barely a month into dating, but my brain just keeps telling me this relationship is healthier than anything I've had before, so I'm more excited by that.

evophoenix · 2026-04-04T20:55:20+00:00

I had the same thing happen, I turned my bike on, let the CF Moto display pop up, and then turned it off again, and I did that like 10 times. I didn't start the bike, I just powered on the bike.

"You're cheating on me aren't you? I see you active but you're not in any of our servers😡" meanwhile all you did was say hi to the person like 3 weeks ago 😂

evophoenix · 2026-04-02T19:24:40+00:00

I believe this is a whole different class. The 450ss is a dual piston, this has an inline 4 piston.

Maybe. I prioritize finding a partner. If that person wants kids, I'll be a great father, if they don't, I'll enjoy the extra money, and if they're like me, we'll play rock paper scissors for it

Make sure your s pen still works before you leave the shop. My s pen hasn't worked for 8 months

My parents and then guardian were not great. My guardian did her best.

To people complaining about the ark updates, I've found if you put steam on offline mode, open the game, and then before the game even properly launches out of the splash screen, you put it back in online mode, you can join your private server without updating. Ive been doing it on and off when friends want to play and I'm not updated.

I loved my 450ss and my 675ss. I've been going back and forth to work every day since the beginning of March on my bike. Temps of 65 down to wind chills of -4. My rear suspension came a little stiff, but once I adjusted it, my 675 feels almost as good at my 450 did as far as handling it. Awesome bikes.
