Thanks mate. thats why I record and share these thing. So I can show hot to or how not to do things. Please learn from my mistakes.

yes I'm thinking about both but I have other things I'd rather do to the bike first.

Its a GoPro Max 360

Yes they are a great bike and I love it. I hit a rock sticking out of the ground. My right foot came off the peg and I was unable to regain control. The bike landed on my foot. I think it was the pillion peg mount or luggage rack which landed of my heel and slid across my ankle

@@emlsolutions thanks mate. Yes I'm mending. The bikes are great I love mine. Dirt tyres are still to come.

The bike has 1600km on it now. We can get the ECU reprogrammed here in Australia.

Yes the bar work did a great job. Track was heaps of fun, although it was my 1st time on this type of track and I was outside my comfort zone. Road bikes don't slide like this does over loose rocks and gravel.

@@FlatBrokeAdventures My biggest piece of advice, just ride at your own pace within your comfort zone. Through that I've slowly increased my confidence and skill level and still have no issues in saying "no" to something that seems too challenging for me.

@@ADVBrett I was having great time. I saw the rock steps and thought I'm not going to be able to steer around it so I'll just go over it. Which I did but my right foot came off the peg and I couldn't recover. Just lucky I went right not left. Would have been a very different story

@@FlatBrokeAdventures So true mate, that left looked steep and long!!

@@ADVBrett yes it's very long. The trail is called Old Bulga Rd it's a Milbrodale.

I was wearing my 7 year old budget road boots. I'm now going to get a decent set of adventure/motocross boots before I head back out.

Yes I did until I couldn't reach the ground and dropped the bike. I stopped for a rest and drink then and forgot to switch it back off again. So when I crashed no TC and rear ABS were turned on.. I'll have to remember that when I turn the bike off and restart it the ABS and TC are on. Thanks for watching and commenting mate.

@@FlatBrokeAdventures you are learning as are many. It's a shame it doesn't stay off on restart. But, it's only AUD$9500

@@stevesanelli90 many bike more expensive have the same problem. It's probably a safety feature for on road riding. At least I can change it on the run. Many bikes 3 times the price (Triumph Tiger) have to stop the bike to turn off ABS and TC. I can do this on the run with the press of 1 button. I'm going to get better boots and do a course for riding these things off road. I assume it was my body position which was wrong and cause this to happen.

@@FlatBrokeAdventures I still hate sand to this day. You'll work it out in no time because of your commitment 💪💪

@@stevesanelli90 I'm told these tyres are terrible in soft sand.

@@Terry-bw7qk thanks mate. I possibly was riding to fast. It was my first time offroad on such a track. I had ridden on dirt and gravel roads but nothing like this.

Yes it is a nice big hill and I didn't make it all the way. And yes the bike did land on my foot. I think the pillion peg/mount landed on my heel. It's been 11 days today and I still can't walk properly and I've had to take a week off work.

​@@FlatBrokeAdventureslucky. My bike landed on me in the bush 5 weeks ago. Nursing a smashed leg with newly installed plates and pins. Hope you heal soon.

@@jdabel1 thank you and I hope you heal real soon too. That is what I was worried about at the time it happened.

Hi John. Yes you're right mate it was a lot of fun until it wasn't. It was a fantastic workout too.

These bikes ae all owned by the the one person. If it was me I'd still take them out for a ride when I could.

It's probably a KTM engine as they are in partnership. Actually CF Moto is now in partnership with Yamaha as well so who knows the origin of the engine. I don't plan on pulling it apart anyway

CF Moto have been around for a long while. My initial impressions are the quality looks great and they sound wicked! My local KTM dealer just started dealing CFMOTO and Yamaha have a joint venture with them also. I'm awaiting delivery of my 450MT. I'm going to try and put it through the same torture I did to my 300 Rally. No doubt it won't compare in some scenarios, but will excel in others. Will i eat my words? time will tell 😆

Nah it took me over 2 months

might try that

Thanks Baz. Yes it's a fiddly job thats for sure getting the bash plate holes to line up. I kept everything loose and got it done. I only did it last Monday and went riding Tuesday so I didn't have time to get new silastic but I should be able to seal them off with the bars in place I think. No haters or keyboard warriors on this vid yet. I also installed bits like front caliper guard, rear brake res guard larger stand foot pad while I was at it. I didn't have time to install the centre stand. I'll do that when I can walk again as I came off and tested the crash bars on Tuesday and the bike landed on my foot so I'm currently layed up. Thanks or watching. Cheers Jim

@FlatBrokeAdventures yep I had trouble with the lower crash bars getting bolts in . Sounds like you really tested the bars out, I watched your short vid. Hope the foot gets better soon and your back in the saddle. Cheers Jim.

@@bazz6670 thanks mate

@@JamieBroughton70 bash plate was $349 I think and lower crash bars were $89 I think. All prices are on the CF Moto Australia website

@FlatBrokeAdventures cheers selling my Africa twin for one of these. Can't wait for next video

@@JamieBroughton70 awesome I'm sure you'll love it. The lack of power compared to the AT will be a big difference as will the weight

@@brucemonighan2925 yeah thanks mate

True thats what I would do if I was buying now. _t's what I will do when I get more silastic

I have thought about both. Not sure if I'm going to do it though

The original engine guard is very thin, it's fine for all road use but if you want to go off road then it isn't enough and doesn't protect the sides of the engine at all. Yes this water is a real issue. I will be blocking the holes to make sure this doesn't happen again. Thanks for watching an commenting

@@FlatBrokeAdventures Greetings and all the best!

Maybe

Hello. No I don't have the 15 tooth sprocket yet. I will wait and see how much off road use the bike gets before I decide to put that on.

It has the factory CF Moto large screen

Yeah I have a sprained ankle as the bike landed on my foot

@@FlatBrokeAdventures lucky mate

They do sound good and I'm loving it. Good luck with yours mate.

I can't tell any difference in the handling with lowering the bike. I didn't touch the forks, they are the height the factory set them. One thing though is that the side stand is now a tad too long. I've also put the larger foot pad on the stand.

Hi John thanks for watching & commenting. Yes it was a really nice ride and one that I will do again. Yes the 450 does sounds really good. Unfortunately I crashed it on Tuesday. The bike is OK and very lucky I installed the lower crash bards and bash plate on Monday as the crash bars really saved the bike. Me on the other hand I'm a bit busted up as the bike landed on my right foot and I still can't walk. I'll be good in a couple of days.

@@FlatBrokeAdventures Sorry to hear that but at least the bike is ok... :)

@@ozarksbackroads5484 thanks John. I'll have to take a couple of days off work unfortunately

@@FlatBrokeAdventuresThat’s bad luck but adventures will bring spills eventually…..glad you and bike are relatively ok. Just out of interest what bash plate are you using? - I liked the look of the B&B one. Are the crash bars oe or aftermarket? I’m thinking of going for just the top bars and that hefty B&B plate as it’ll just about protect everything down there in a spill looking at its clever design in protecting the side covers and rear linkage as well.

@@RichardS-qh8mi I'm running CF Moto factory bash plate and crash bars. That way i know everything fits properly

Hello thanks for watching and commenting. Yes I'm ok. The bike landed on my foot and it's very sore and I can't walk on it yet but I will be fine. The only part of the bike that got damaged was the crash bars, so that's good and it means they did their job

Yes the crash bars do their job well. Safe riding my friend and thanks for watching and commenting

Just making sure I don't drop my brand new bike which is to tall for me. Nothing wrong with being cautious is there

Jajajajaj

There certainly is some beautiful bikes in this collection. A real credit to the owner

yes I took them off and drained yesterday

168cm

And it works just fine. That wasn't my best day I could have done things a bit different

First time on this one

168cm. On a windy day it wont help you unless your riding directly into the wind. It does give you much better protection from cold and from the wind generated by you riding.

@@andrewm190E hahaha you're probably right

@@FlatBrokeAdventures the point ist, you made it.

@@sredju correct and it works great

They were $199 Australian Dollars

Factory CF Moto upper crash bars. Still waiting on the lowers to arrive

Hahaha no mate I love this blue

I'm 168cm tall

First time on this one

yep I totally agree

It sounds awesome at lower speeds but gets a touch loud at highway speed. That's when you need ear plugs👍🏼

@@twowheelin7361 Yup, I’ve worn earplugs for over 30 years now so that’s good advice. Find the modern silicon ones very comfortable that still allow you to hear what the bike is doing, but without the harsh wind noise and Buffeting.

@@twowheelin7361 I always use ear plugs at hyw speeds anyway I get too much wind noise with my helmet

What do you mean by plant bearings? I've never heard that saying before sorry

Hey mate what lever are you referring too? Sorry I don't remember changing any levers

@@FlatBrokeAdventures th-cam.com/video/5hcCXiSyI3k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aaWMjF-Csv3N0_3C

@@FlatBrokeAdventures Friend you have lower rear suspension lever in this video: th-cam.com/video/5hcCXiSyI3k/w-d-xo.html

Sorry mate I think you were referring to me lowering the rear suspension when you said changing the lever. It has made no difference to the handling. I can now reach the ground better when sitting on the bike.

@@FlatBrokeAdventures thank you very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
