I've noticed that the aftermarket are starting to catch on to the CF650 now. Scorpion Exhausts now have a specific fitment listed for the CF and I came across a specific listing for Ventura luggage, a top brand who now recognise the bike. I tend to think it has to be good news for the Chinese bike industry when the mainstream aftermarket suppliers start to develop specific fitments

Been looking into this and some aftermarket parts from Kawasaki er6(n) 06-08 should fit to CF650, like rear wheel huggers http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~sh...s/image024.jpgQuote:

Can the CFMoto ECU can work well with the Scorpion exhaust setup?
Hi There, I've been running the Scorpion exhaust with no other mods for a while now, it runs really well, I get the odd backfire when I decelerate sometimes but I quite like it:)
Any improvements in terms of power? How's the sound?Quote:

Prior to fitting the IXIL, I did try a no-name after market local brand muffler first - but it was too loud. At the time I took the muffler apart to see if I could repack it with better packing and used some exhaust 'header wrap' but this made little difference to the loudness. The sound wasn't obnoxiously loud like some HD et al., but loud enough that I decided to bite the bullet and spend the inflated amount on the IXIL. Still have the OEM and no name mufflers as well as the heavy catalytic box of tricks. The added bonus of removing the catalytic box is it might be possible to fit a centre stand with the added clearance/space underneath. There are also a couple of frame mounting points that look like they'd work for mounting a centre stand. If I was in a 'western' or developed country the adding of a centre stand is something I would explore with vigour. Unfortunately this place is a logic free zone, where penny pinching and cost cutting at the expense of quality and craftsmanship take a back seat - right at the very back! YMMV.Quote:

Given that some pundits claim that the CF650 (NK) carries a certain resemblance to a Kwaka ER-6N, maybe an aftermarket centre stand like a SW-Motech might fit?

If anyone sees a viable centre stand option that fits the 650NK/650TR 'I'm all ears'.
I have had similar experience to Bikerdoc regards exhaust. I like the sound, not too laoud and I have an insert to put in when it comes to MOT time to quiet it down a bit. No running issues, fuelling seems to be ok for me. I'm also up for the centre stand fix for my NK, I might have a look on good old ebay and see if I can get a cheap second hand ER6N centre stand to see if I can make it fit...
If you know the MOT tester a loud exhaust isn't an issue ;)
I've never heard of a centre stand for a ER6N/F I have a ER6F at home the exhaust would be in the way for a centre stand
I didn't realise the er6 doesn't come with a centre stand. I did come across the versys sw motech stand but it very expensive to buy just to try to get it to fit!
Choosy, Sometimes popping under deceleration is an indication of a lean condition. I admit I would probably run an ER6 specific muffler too, if it could be proven to be ok for the fueling, without that actual data I personally feel the bike is safer if left stock.
Hi ZMC888, yes I realise I may be taking a bit of a chance, time will tell I guess, now I'm back on the road I'll be sure to post if running the non stock exhaust causes me any issues
Choldy, I doubt you'll see any issues other than a lack or gain of power or torque at different places in the power-band. Engine damage can be done, but I think this is eventual rather than sooner. Rings might go earlier, engine might run hotter and surfaces wear sooner. But will the engine be 5 or 50 years old before anyone can tell the difference? That would take a team of expert engineers many weeks, months or years to figure out! Only a dyno plus an expert engineer working together can tell anyone the answer to the correct fuelling needs in the short term, and that's why I stick to those results. A homebrew 'guessimation' exhaust mod, might help, hinder or damage an engine, we just need that data to know what's really happening.
