New Rider with a few issues and questions...

[candiecane]

I bought a 2008 cf-moto v5 on saturday, practically brand new with only 68 miles on it. So far I love it, but I have a little trouble with it starting sometimes. We have it on charge in the garage right now. If that doesn't work I'll try a new battery.

Has anyone else had this problem? I also like to know about any lil issues that other people may have. Thanks

Also, is there anything I should do to it since it hasn't really ran all that much. Checked the oil this morning, waiting on the battery right now.

The only bikers I know ride Harleys, Vulcans and Suzukis... so you guys are my only people I have to ask questions too. Other then the shop... but I'm going to try to avoid the shop at all costs.

Hey, CC, how you getting on with that bike? As you become more familiar with it, you'll have more specific questions for our experts here in MCM.

Also, please post pix of you riding the CFMoto with your H-D and Vulcan buddies!

cheers

Well we tried a new battery and it still won't start. It'll run idle for a while then when i give it a little gas it stalls. The shop guy said it might be a relay so well see on payday... hopefully thats all it needs. If not, its going to the shop.

If i ever get running I'll post pics! lol.

I have to add too that once we did get a new battery it ran okay for a couple days. I let it sit in the garage for about a week cause it was so hot outside. When i wanted to take it out again a week later the above happened.
