So having completed 8000km on the Jetmax, I thought it'd be a good idea to update some of my views on the scoot. I'm still fairly happy with it overall, and can report that I've not had many issues to date. That being said, I was quite impressed when I was told by my local motorcycle dealership (that I've dealt with for the past 4-5 years and bought quite a few scooters from) that CFMoto would be sending a representative to do several upgrades to my Jetmax which have been incorporated into what I assume was the second production run following mine (which conversely I assume was the first production run). All the upgrades were completed by a rep, who worked on the Jetmax at the local dealership.

Upgrades include;
- changing the EFI unit (now the Jetmax starts easily without the need to open the throttle as was the case before, especially when starting from cold, & find that the throttle seems more responsive up to 100km/h)
- the computer chip was upgraded
- the pair of rear shock absorbers were exchanged for units which are meant to be softer
- fuel cap was exchanged (actually the new cap doesn't have as tighter feel when being un/screwed off/on)
-

The ride has improved somewhat with the addition of the rear rack and topbox, probably by providing a little weight counterbalance. The rep was also very surprised that I'd managed to fabricate a rack and fit a rear topbox. Have also applied some adhesive vinyl (that is used for signwriting) around the front headlights & rear tail-lights that gives a more pleasing aesthetic look. Painted the radiator grill white so that provides less contrast and consequently more pleasing to the eye. I'll take a few photos and upload at a later date. The topend speed is an indicated 133km/h. Rides really steady and comfortably no matter what speed, though like most scooters, doesn't take kindly to crap road surfaces.

A friend has removed the riders backrest on his black Jetmax which has resulted in a much longer reach to the handle bars & more leg room. We're attempting to fabricate a better seat design that is more foreign friendly for our taller average heights/leg length.

Since about 6000km's the Jetmax has been leaving a small amount of oil on the garage floor when parked. At first I thought it was an engine leak, but have traced the oil to an oil breather hose which protrudes near belt drive housing & to the left in front of the rear wheel. I'm left to wonder why they didn't have the hose exiting back into the engine or sump, or into the air filter housing as is the norm on many motorcycles. Instead I have a small 20-30ml oil deposit that is growing in size nightly in my garage. Time for a small oil collection pan or I might explore an alternative way of collecting the oil at the end of the tube/hose.

I upgraded the halogen headlight bulbs from the standard 35/35w which all Chinese manufactured bikes are limited to legally ex factory. Unfortunately the wiring didn't take kindly to the current drawn by the 100/80w halogens I installed. I've now installed 60/55w halogens but some aspect of the electronics/wiring has an issue yet to be isolated & resolved. The local dealer thinks it might be the left handle bar switch gear, so that is on order.

Still have an issue with the ignition key seat release mechanism not working, which does work on a friends ?second edition model Jetmax. We're both thinking about taking a ride to CFMoto to sort out small issues etc.

Overall still impressed with the Jetmax especially for the price and how it performs. Leaves everything behind at the traffic lights... and will sit on 80-100km/h all day without fuss. Travelling at 115-130km/h gets a little busy.

The Jetmax looks a little better in black than the white, but each to his/her own.
