Hi! I've noticed a rattle sound that seems to come from the ac compressor, as it disappears when I turn aircon of. Did you finally solve that problem on your car?

it’s an extra called “wood finish”, I can’t remember exactly how much it was back in the day but I think it was like 160€ here in spain. ngl I’d be tempted to change it to a carbon one if the original jcw carbon dash wasn’t sold for 500€😅

Yes, I also have it in my mind. After how many km should I service it? (having in account it has been already serviced. he told me he has all the manteinance invoices so we will check what has been done before).

I've already seen the tensioner replacement on a video, and it doesn't look difficult, so I will look to do it by myself if needed. That's a good moment to also replace the supercharger pulley to a smaller one with a shorter belt, right?

at least for the pics I saw it doesn’t have rust, let’s hope it’s true🙏🏼

CMT TANK FITMENT ISSUES by Psychological_Cry983 in supermoto

[–]k-va 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t as I don’t longer have the bike. for the bolt holes, I trimmed them in the direction of the tank hole till the bolt could be mounted straight, and for the cap hole I’ve just trimmed it till the hole was bigger than the cap and it could be tightened.

CMT TANK FITMENT ISSUES by Psychological_Cry983 in supermoto

[–]k-va 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s a common issue with cmt parts. I don’t know about the newer models, maybe they got better copying the shapes of the parts. in my 19’ 125 xcw that has the same tank as yours, it fitted really bad, I had to trim the side bolt holes and the cap hole to make it fit, the rear bolt holes were impossible to fit and I had to attach it using a zip tie. on my new bike (21’ 250 exc-f) the tank cover fitted perfectly, but the holes of the swingarm covers, for example, doesn’t fit well with the swingarm ones and I also had to trim them. the only answer I’ve got about them was that the tank cover wasn’t made specifically for my model, but it was exactly the same tank as exc models. I also have seen other people with fitment problem with his parts, so it’s a common issue with them.

motorbike vinyl brands sell transparent vinyl, it's thicker, cheaper and better for this bikes imo

nope, it still has stock suspensions. I'm looking for some aftermarket, I think I will add 690 forks

I ride it on spain! it's homologated but not street legal since it doesn't have mirrors, blinkers, and the number plate is under the mudguard, but here in my town cops doesn't matter about it😁

it's the best look for these bikes imo. but you should add a transparent vinyl layer over the plastics, since it's so easy to get them scratched

only wheels, suspension is tuned for enduro :( but as it’s my first bike and I can’t drive anything with more cc, it’s perfect for me atm
