    I've been driving a 2014 CFmoto 650nk for about a year now. Have been driving almost everyday and although I'd had no accidents, braking can really be a bit rough in winter.


    Does anyone know if there is any way to install the new ABS system to a 2014 model? Should I just call the shop where I bought it?

    No, not possible to retrofit ABS. ABS is integrated extensively into the ECU and other systems etc.
    Only real way to go about it is buy a model with ABS factory standard.

    That's a bummer. Not worth trading it in tho.

    You could try bleeding the brakes with Mobil Clutch and brake fluid and running EBC Sintered pads if you haven't already.

    Oh and check the tire pressures, 38psi Rear 36psi Front. Sometimes Chinese mechanics sometimes leave the tires very overinflated or very under-inflated.

    Will these work on the 650TR/TK as well?
