Welcome to here! Have you looked through all the cfmoto threads? Not too many people as of late have posted anything about them. Do you have photos (of the bike and Chile)?

Martislash, Hi and welcome,

650NK, I've got one and 13,000 on it now. Read my thread or maybe read Steve's thread.

Certainly check the torque specs on all bolts, and keep an eye on everything, including clutch cable. Run it in carefully hot change the oil ASAP with a filter change to high quality mineral oil, change again on 500km or follow the guides.

thanks!

Hi and welcome to MCM.

If you want/need to search for information about your model MC etc, know that there is a search engine window near the top RHS of the MCM webpages.

Sometimes though one can find more relevant search results by using the Goog.le search engine by simply adding the word(s) "mychinamoto" to your search.

Couple of links that might be useful/relevant.
CF650 thread includes links to both TR and NK threads on MCM... both models share the same architecture, but different skin.
Running in a new engine

Look forward to seeing some pics of you MC, cause 'this thread is useless without pics'...

Martin, soy Gustavo de Argentina y administro un grupo de facebook de las 650 NK, te invito a que te sumes y alli encontraras la informacion que necesitas, yo tambien te recomendaria que cambies ya el aceite y luego a los 1000 km. El aceite que mejor va en esta moto es el semi - sintetico, un 15w 40 como pide el manual. Este es el grupo en facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kellerk65/?fref=ts

Mineral because it's cheap. You will not keep the oil in the engine long enough to get any benefits from synthetics. the only thing what will happen is that your wallet will come thinner... :)

I always heard that mineral oil was actually better for your engine for some reason. Could be an old wives tale though...

As I understand, common mineral oil (the one without some fancy-shmancy additives) allows to all rubbing surfaces (piston and cylinder, gears, etc.) can be polished to fit each other and to remove micro (and not only micro) metal debris formed on that surfaces during the machining process. This "polishing" is intensive in first couple thousand kilometers and you, as guy who uses this bike every day, can feel that during that period, engine runs smoother and smoother every day, not running hot, even getting quieter and geting some extra ponies. It is some sort of controlled wear which increases some clearances in order to reduce the internal resistance and optimize your engine's running. Hi-tech oils with tons of aditives or purely synthetic oils doesn't allow that.

Well, I didn't wrote something new - we all are C-moto riders and we all are aware how much proper old fashioned break-in means to engine longevity.
