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...

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...

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

Good to know Prince. Thanks
Ill prolly buy a chain from cfmoto official store

Yeah, I paid 650 and thought will get genuine for this price. That shop was highly rated too......

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

I thought about it but wanted to avoid taking the bearings out.
If I cant confirm the size I prolly will though

Does anyone know whether the front sprocket (most likely according to taobao) of Honda Xr400 will fit the X5?

More importantly
Will xr400 wheel bearings fit the X5?

Im going to Europe soon...

Well, after the whole thing the bike starter and ran fine. I will replace the petcock and check the float and needle. And will replace the oil as it prolly has fuel in it, although I just did that...

So I have discovered that my fuel tap isnt working the hard way yesterday.....
Got a front puncture and obviously there is no center stand so the easiest option was to lay the bike on a side and...

No problems so far.
Today I will change fork oil to a heavier one cos the front is a bit too soft

I guess its a good reference point. Ill get myself one of them thermometers for cooking. Had one before but got misplaced

Yeah, the first models had oil coolers. Later they have decided that they can save some money by taking them off i guess. The engine is completely air cooled so there is nothing to do apart from...

Its only May and the weather is boiling. Today it was around 30 C and my lil X5 is got hot. On an open road its ok but in the mountains at a slower pace it struggles, loses quite a bit of power and...

Good eye! Indeed
They are more versatile than the stock Kendas

Bike wobbles much less now. Like I said I placed some weights on the rim and I also tightened the head bearing (although it didnt seem loose). Here is few pics from last ride...

Yeah, I know its easy yet I dont have the right tools. I tried to use a pit bike stand but no luck so I decided to leave it for now. I did place a random amount of weight opposite a rim lock but had...

I tried to change the tyres today so I had a chance to inspect the bike a bit. The steering bearing seems fine, spoke tension also ok, wheels spin smooth. Im guessing its the balance but they dont...

I played with that fork adjustment today, turns out it take few hundred meters to kick in.....
Once you turn the adjustment screw (14 clicks) nothing really happens to the suspension. After riding...

I've noticed before that the bike feels wobbly above 115km/h. It feels really scary so I actually am afraid to ride it above that speed. I thought it might be unbalanced wheel or wheels, so since I...

Thanks lads for a quick answer.

Shuben, I was thinking of running tubs in tubeless permanently as the choice of tires is so limited. Krasi does it and nothing happens so should be fine :)

I...

I installed that 42teeth rear sprocket and it feels great. I believe that bike should come with 42t sprocket stock. It feels miles better than the 40t, very natural. Its still not good for off-road...

Them Kendas are ok on the road but slide a lot off-road in wet and I live in a very wet area.
Here are the Veerubbers,...

Well if I have to may 200% of the original price it might be an issue but even if I wanted to, its illegal to ship tyres internationally....apparently. Most shops wont ship tyres. Id have to ask...

Its not that I want to save money, I simply cant get here what I want.
Can get Pirelli that are 90% dirt but Id imagine they are worst on road than this ones. If I could get a 50/50 good brand tyre...
