Steve's CFMoto 650 NK（春风 650 NK）

I like that BMW pic. I could install that no problem, then I got a hugger over the rear wheel. I could very well install the same fender extension over the rear wheel hugger. Problem solved :)

[Topmanda]

keep us in touch as I got the same problem with my rear mudguard. Pictures and stuff.

[Steve_Halt]

I'll try to figure it out this Monday (at least find a mudguard extension on taobao and post the link if it works)

[Steve_Halt]

Actually, I have another weird thing going on with the bike. I posted it in the conversation with Topmanda in his review thread but I believe it qualifies for a repost here. Anyways, the "problem" goes as follows:
When I turn the key and engage the engine killswitch (the big red knob on the right handlebar), the red EFI warning light blinks about 7-10 times and then shuts off. The bike then starts and rides just like it did before, no changes. I wonder what that might be because that light wasn't blinking before. So is it like my speedo started doing a right thing or the readings are off the wall?

You should find information about the blinking warning light in your user manual. Without being able to view the manual I'd say it is likely related to the ignition on, then kill switch operation procedure, interfering with the ECU self test procedure these bikes with EFI management system utilise. The number of blinks gives you the code which you can look up in the manual. If after you switch the ignition off, or deactivate the kill switch so that you can start the bike and the condition clears itself, I'd say don't worry about it. On my Jetmax the sidestand warning light stay illuminated all the time the ignition is switched on, yet I can still start and ride the bike. Under normal operation the side stand down which should then lead to illumination of the said light, should prevent the starting of the Jetmax. Just one of those gremlins...

Regarding read mudguards a-la F-650/Canyon/Freewind: I remembered that I've seen something similar on Chinese underbones with 13" wheels. On the photos is Yingang's model: http://top.yingangmotor.com/bimg.aspx?id=909 , http://top.yingangmotor.com/bimg.aspx?id=921 . I do not think that these mudguards are expensive, so if they are wide enough and somehow they can be installed in the swingarm, they could be used for experimenting.

bikerdoc, I guess I would've referred to the manual if the condition prevented me from riding the bike somehow. But, since it does not, I'm lazy with my Chinese manual. I should probably still read it just to check if it's not an indication of worse things to come. For now, though, it's not affecting the ride anyhow :)

Zorge, so that's the mudguard you mean! Yeah, I think I could get hold of one of those - would look sexy on a bike too (I suppose). Actually, those underbones you posted do look good and it's a pity I haven't seen them in any of the shops around here. Might very well be for export only. Those tires are definitely a hit and I like the overall design too.

Although basically correct, I should not leave it.

It is indeed an indication system by a code, most likely as on all other bikes, each long blink is 10 (ten), each short blink is 1 (one).
There might be pause(s) between series of blinks, then you have multiple error codes.
Codes refer, as mentioned, to the manual, which then explains which part of the electric system is at fault (like a sensor, switch, fan, etc.).

It might be that it is history-only, from a dealer test-run with some sensors disconnected.
It stays in the memory till cleared, and shows at each start.

Most easy is to have the dealer clear the memory (if you can not do it yourself), then run the engine and check again.
If nothing wrong, the EFI warning light will go off without blinking.
If a new code occurs, you better check and replace the faulty part.
Never know what is wrong, so why leave it?
The system is there to indicate there is a problem, even if you don't notice it on the running of the bike.

When I bought my SP-2, the owner was desperate cause the engine was running very bad, and the "dealer" had figured out that the bike was throwing 16 (!) error codes.
No one was able to translate those error codes into solutions for him, and no one was interested to buy the bike after a test ride.

I bought it a very good price (and I mean really very good), checked the codes, replaced the fuel pressure switch (300RMB from Japan) which was one of the indications, cleared all codes and the bike runs like new .... and the EFI light stays off.

You can earn a lot of money if you know what you are doing .

[Steve_Halt]

998S, that's right it terms of dealing with it straight away. I'll count those blinks and check my manual tonight. Still I believe that it's a history thing and I'd start with resetting history and then checking if the error code is thrown again.
Problem here is: the dealer is incompetent and knows not how to do reset/clear the memory.
I know that neither.
I could probably start browsing Chinese forums for solution but I don't really know where to start with.
I'll figure it out anyway I think.
Thanks for the encouragement :)

Zorge, so that's the mudguard you mean! Yeah, I think I could get hold of one of those - would look sexy on a bike too (I suppose).

So, I have three days trying to explain to you, but you just today realised what I mean? I was convinced that my English is a little better...

Anyway, yesterday I asked Freewind owners on our local moto-forum is there any real benefit from this "thing", this partial fender on the swingarm. They say it really reduces splashing.

I will try one lаst time to explain my idea about the rear fender.

Take a long enough fender (brand new, or extended stock), and place where it shoud be. As additional point of suport for that long fender, use modified rear fender which I mentioned or fabricate a new support point that will be fixed at the same position as the one I mentioned.

Please do not ask me to draw you a sketch.
