Now that's some good weekend reading!
Wonder why I never checked their US site in the first p[lace. Stupid of me.
Man, thanks a lot!!!
If it is TPS indeed, I guess I'd rather change the sensor before it screws up completely.

Cheers!
Painting mods like mods or like completely repainting the bike?

Could someone advise me a shop in Shanghai whith a good amount of accessories for motorbikes? I'm looking for levers (clutch and brake) and a new horn for my 650NK. I heard there's a good one in Gubei area but not sure about the exact location though...
Here's the kind of clutch I'm looking for:

If you can advise me a reliable horn system: I'm all hears.
These are very loud but quite big and heavy, can be difficult to find a good place to install it. (chinese copy of the Nautilus exhaust)

These are more discreet but can be very loud if you wire them up properly with a relay to draw power straight from the battery.

For choice of bike parts taobao is probably better than any shop you'll find in shanghai.
Had and still have a few genuine STEBEL NAUTILUS horns and they can be split to mount easier and save some weight, good solid very loud horns....Quote:

Kennon, here the pictures of the clutch lever of my 650 NKAttachment 11322

They're loud, discreet and efficient: I clearly recommend them.
Cheers!

the levers bikerdoc posted look right for the fitment, I had abit of trouble fitting mine to my honda with the clutch cable forgot to loosen it up but work allot better now. The first two links have adjustible length I wouldn't go for those as they are quite flmsey better of going for the soild stubby to full length ones my bike originally had too heavy a clutch so changing the lever to a long adjustible made it allot better on city rides.

Guys,
thanks again for your advices, I successfully installed the levers Bikerdoc recommended, they are fitting perfectly, good grip, material seems solid, here is the result with the new levers:

Hi Guys, any ideas of which handle grips might fit the bike? The standard one are unesthetic and not durable (the rub is already wearing off).
Hey Guys,
I was thinking about replacing my grips (the rubber is wearing off) with the Scott's one.
Any idea if it'll fit? Here's the link:

It is very likely that, if you buy the proper diameter grips (I guess that is 7/8 inches on your bike, so, in metric, left shoul be 22 mm, and right, throttle grip, some 25 mm), you'll be able to install them. However, you should pay attention and order grips open at both ends or to modify these colorful, with closed end.
Thank u for ur quick reply Zorge, I was planning to simply cut the edge. I'm just afraid it might not fit as it's supposed to be for dirt bikes.
Well, this is no big science. Handlebar diameters may vary from 7/8, 1, to 1 1/4 inches, or even thicker (but their ends are reduced to forementioned masures), but I don't think that CF Motor would experiment with non/standard sizes.
By my experience, the biggest problem may be, not installing new, but removal of the old grips, especially the plastic insert from the throttle grip. But I think that dipping in hot water and spray lubricant will help.
The old ones: just cut loose.
By far the best way to install new ones (after experimenting with every other alternative like soap, hairspray, water, tape, etc) is compressed air.
Have a nozzle with a small exit, and just blow between the grip and the bar, while you slowly push the grip.
It blows up like a blowfish, and as long as you keep the pressure on it, you can position it exactly, even take off again.
No mess with liquids, and tight immediately.
Works like a charm as long as diameters suit.
Cheers for this grandma recipe man ;)
Hi, which kind of handlebars did u buy?
Handlebar grips: Scott for dirt bike, very thick, but not fully satisfied honestly:
