I would not spend Euros on the sprockets. They are cheap to buy in China and the wear out is in acceptable range.Quote:

I didnt know that the codes on bearings are universal. I thought that is just model/type or something. Great to know, thanks. Ive found this afterwards https://www.mrcycles.com/page/bearings
My front sprocket is in a bad shape after 7500km, rear is still ok.
When I changed my rear sprocket from OEM 40teeth to 44teeth I needed to change the chain too. Bought DID from taobao but it was fake. Have to adjust it every 500-600km. Fed up with fake s*** here. I will get a genuine chain in Europe so I might as well buy front sprockets. They are only about RMB70 on www.wemoto.com
Yesterday Ive noticed some unusual vibrations in my pegs. It progressed during the ride and at the end was a bit worse. Not sure whats this. I can feel the vibrations more when I pull in the clutch and roll the bike at 30-40km/h. I wanted to change the chain anyway so I will do the sprockets and bearings. will see if it continues
I saw DID chains on Taobao for sale for 100 RMB or less.
When something sounds so cheap, normally it not real.
When you consider DID sell for about 800 RMB or more in the real world.
For a real DID 520VX2 chain you must consider about 650RMB. Then you do once adjustment, recheck after 300km and forget adjustment for the next 2000km.Quote:

Yeah, I paid 650 and thought will get genuine for this price. That shop was highly rated too......
Thats bad. After I had also several fake experiences I buy valuable stuff only on JD with help of a Chinese friend. When the things arrive we check it very careful.Quote:

Once I checked a helmet and when we sent it back the seller begged us not to give a bad comment. (He got of course 😈)

Just 1 bit of advice I can give, is CFMoto uses real DID Chains on the TR-G, NK and MT bikes. (520 Type)
Now, these may be the correct length or if too long can be cut down with a chain splitter.
There use solid link connection type and the last 2 I used I
got over 35.000 km before it needed to be changed.
like real DID chains should not need to adjust for the first 20.000 km.
Could be worth a look.
Good to know Prince. Thanks
Ill prolly buy a chain from cfmoto official store
Check with a dealer or online to find out how many links the 3 CFmoto chain's have the TR-G will be the longest one.?
Then check your bike to see how many links yours has.
Remember CFmoto chain's are 520 type.
And CFmoto chain's are "O-Ring" type as well.
Mine is also 520. I can adjust the length no problem. Ill be changing my gearing slightly so Ill need to adjust the chain anyway. Thanks
U must count ur links or u have a bad surprise. Already to links make a big difference. E.g. on a X2 u can't use the same chain with 48 and 52 teeth sprockets. The adjustment range at the swing arm is too less. On ur given front/rear sprocket set u will have specific chain length. I made that experience already.Quote:

The summer is about to start and I figured it would be best to check the oil temp from time to time. Last year the bike would get really hot on a hot day (in the city). So, first check after a few hours riding with last 30min through traffic oil temp was 105. That was a rather cool day.
Second check on a 26 degree ambient temp the oil was 112 degrees. Its a bit much and the real summer isnt even here yet. Decided to put oil cooler on.
Not tested it yet as I changed tires at the same time and managed to pinch a tube :( will check it next weekend

Been riding all day yesterday and today and happy to say that the oil temp now is about 85 degrees. Unfortunately that filter cover doesnt seal properly and there is an oil leak. Lost around 300ml yesterday. Gonna have to seal it somehow.
But still, pleased with this mod.
