    Re: Navigating in chinese traffic?

    GPS is a bit of a joke in most places here. New roads are completed so quickly you will struggle to keep your map up to date. My advice is to learn classical navigation. Learn to read a map, learn to...

    CF Moto 650 NK for sale

    Hi folks!

    My company is relocating me out of China in the new year, and I've decided to try to sell my beloved 650 NK.

    It is the 2013 model (Red and white) plated in Shanghai ("C" plate, fully...

    Nice ride report! Photos look great and I can't wait to do a bit of riding around qiandaohu next month. The NKs do seem to have some assembly flaws, especially in the electrical systems. It's a pity,...

    Re: Steve's CFMoto 650 NK(春风 650 NK)

    Thanks for the tip! It's not the pads, and "sticky" probably isn't the right way to describe it. Every once in a while, if I squeeze the lever the bike brakes immediately and forcefully. There is...

    Re: Cf650 Coolant Leak

    Jeff at Mingfan Moto advised me to tighten down the hose clamps after the first ride. Evidently, this is a common problem. Both Miles82 and I have had small leaks due to poor links in the cooling...

    Hey BBS, I made the shirt myself with a stencil. An going to try to make more, this was just a test ;-)

    Congrats BBS! Let me know if you're going riding on the weekends and want some company. I also park my NK in the garage under my compound. It makes me nervous, but I think it's the best option. I was...

    I doubt they'd do it if you don't ask them. It's not too tough, but a bit of a hassle. If its been sitting, for sure try that. I'd also ask them to put in an inline fuel filter if there's not one...

    That's carbureted, isn't it? I'd bring it to the shop for a check on the carb and idle. Or try flushing the carb and installing an inline fuel filter. Maybe you got some gunk in the tank or bad gas...

    Glad to help! Like I said, I've only ridden the NK and I like it. When I priced them at Mingfan moto a few months ago, the Benelli would have come in at just under 90k with the Hu c plates. The CF...

    Haha! Good to hear the hijacking served a purpose other than my own! I guess it's worth noting to all potential 650nk owners that this forehead slapper of a problem isn't so uncommon. I wish I had a...

    Yeah, for sure. That's why I was asking about the rating, so I could go pick up a spare on the way home from work ;-)
