I find the ride quite good, after years on the Yamaha it should feel good,
WK!!, a while ago I was in regular contact with a guy at their HQ, where ever that is,
He was very helpful with advice, always got a quick reply, but he has left WK,
He sent me CFMoto baseball cap! CFMoto polo shirt, CFMoto lanyard, and CFMoto shirt but that did not fit me, a very nice guy.
The new! guy/guys, not so helpful, they can't be arsed to reply to email mails.
Centre stand, was told it was not designed for one, and fitting one would be nigh on impossible.
Side stand, yep way to short, I am going to see what I can do with mine when the better weather comes.

Yeah that's what I'd heard about the centre stand, and that makes sense, which is why it was really bad for WK to just say get a generic centre stand off ebay. I've ordered one of these for the side stand, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2816870923...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. Hopefully that'll do the trick. I'll let you know how well it works, once it arrives and we get a bit of dry weather !!

Yes let me know,
I will let you know how my (bodge job) fix goes, when I get round to doing it.

CF make a longer side stand for the Gen 2 TR ? , in order to fit a centre stand you need to replace the exhaust system to get rid of the big box under the bike to make room for the centre stand so far not heard or seen this done by everyone in China yet.

Hi,
I will stick with using a paddock stand for the time being.
And try the bodge job on my side stand.
The price of a new (different) exhaust and centre stand would add up to quite a lot of £,s.
Being a tight git I will put up with what I have.
Thanks anyway

well good luck...... 1 off the problem riders here in China have complained about is the Bar need to be raised but due to the design this was always going to be a problem? but just latterly Bar raisers for the TR are now being sold on Taobao.

Hi

Yeah I saw those, I'll wait to see how I get on, so, far it doesn't feel particularly uncomfortable, my bigest problem, is that my jacket does rub up against the tank, so I need to put a tank protector on really. Oh, and the centre stand, yeah I knew, I just wanted to highlight how poor WK were with the advice they were offering. I think this is the main problem with chinese bikes, over here, I guess in other countries, the distributors not really knowing their product, and/or poor customer service. Thankfully, this for the most part is much less the case now, but as you can see, the problem isn't entirely eradicated.

Hi All

Finally got to take my CF650TR out in the sun :-)Only a little ride round, Up the M54 -> to the A41
A41 -> A5
A5 -> M6
M6 -> M54

And back home...

Gave me chance to adjust the angle of the sat nav

And this is how it looks in the sun !!
