Alexey & CF Moto 650 TR-G - New kids on the block

Hi Alex

Good luck tomorrow with the inspection of the bike.
And will you be registering the bike in your name?

Was checking some pictures tonight and I like to post a few off road conditions you WILL encounter on your travel in China.

Here is some nice stuff.

At a blink of an eye, it can turn into this with no option but to go forward's.

Under here is a road? but a big landslide had covered the road, my choice was "try" or take a detour of 150 Km.

Get this one wrong and you are dead.

Interesting stuff at 4700 metres in the middle of May.

Sorry, moilami Photobucket has changed the rules for 3rd party hosting so I had to reload direct small pictures only.

All sorted now with BIG pictures

Got the bike finally:) Registered oficially, got plates, all fine (for further details - PM conversation is better though). Everything so far so good. Initial observations after first 20km of ride from dealershop to home:

- very balanced bike - very stable even at minimum speed
- seems very light than HD Electra Glide, seems notably heavier than BMW GS650 but the COG is pretty low - so easy to handle
- sometimes it is hard to "find" neutral gear (when the bike is not moving), no such problem during riding, so hope it will be cured after first hunderds of mileage and oill change. Had the same issue with Harley in the past.
- Have to familiarise myself with "computer". I have no English manual so could not find how to switch to dailly odometer, no. of kilometers till the tank is empty etc.
- front brake is good but not as sticky as would I love - need to play with the right handle first and then take it from there.

The above pictures are well noted for future travels!

I have no English manual

Bike not for export yet so no English Manual available

I had the same problem with the gears, but it does get better over time.
Good luck and welcome to the CF Club.

So, Leha, gang from the dealer manage to fit properly all the bells and whistles before the weekend, or you were too eager to take a spin?

Well balanced and light bike. That's good.

Sometimes occurs problem with the neutral. Tolerable, if you ask me.

Well:), they had a good week to do the homework so I was not in a hurry.

Two items had to be redone after my check:
a) the lower/fog lights were mounted by bolts only so I have asked them to add screw-nuts for additional reliability
b) navigator/phone mount had to be moved to the right as initially it obscured left mirror view

Other than that - everything looked pretty much Ok (touch wood).
