I'm talking about a lot of things in this video. First, my thoughts after riding my CFMOTO 450SS. Not really a long-term review, more of a second riding season on the bike. I talk about the quality of CFMOTO, mentioning that CFMOTO is a manufacturer from China, and there are a lot of people that question the quality of CFMOTO bikes because of that. I talk about how CFMOTO has invested in the USA by building a large headquarters here, and that they have a good dealer network that is growing fast. I talk about the 2-year CFMOTO warranty, then get into the current recall on the CFMOTO 450SS that deals with the T-box. I will be taking my CFMOTO 450SS to Karn's Performance in Mechanicsburg to have the recall service performed. I mention that a recall should to be a concern for the brand, it just means they are taking care of their customers. I even joke that for BMW motorcycles, I think the RR stands for Recall-Recall! LOL
I've had people ask if the CFMOTO 450SS is comfortable and how would it be on a long ride. For me, the bike is comfortable. The Yoshimura AT2 slip-on exhaust for the CFMOTO 450SS is claimed to give extra horsepower and torque. I actually feel it now that I have the exhaust installed on my 450SS. Next I get into the peer pressure with motorcycle riders that you need a bigger bike. I'm continuing to wear the ILM Z501 helmet. I talk about the quality of the ILM helmet brand and mention that they now produce quality helmets that are ECE rated. Then I get into my issues with Alpinestars and my Tech-Air 3 airbag vest. The vest broke after 3 rides. I've been waiting on Alpinestars for an RMA number to get it returned... and that's a wrap!

Overall, it's all been good. Second riding season, one recall, but it's being taken care of. Only complaint I have deals with Alpinestars and their bad customer service with my Tech Air 3 airbag vest.
That is actually a bit different. Yamaha and CFMoto have a joint venture called ZHUZHOU CF YAMAHA MOTOR CO.,LTD which both parties share ownership. CFMoto does not own Yamaha in any way shape or form.
Thank you for the info. 👍
I bought the 2024 450nk and after 200 miles I had an oil leak dealer said it was the pan and tightened it, took in for first service and it was still leaking. Dealer said they torqued the oil pan to spec. It was still leaking, they found it was coming from the front sprocket seal and after 2 weeks they called and said they can’t get the part from Cfmoto’s parts department. They said it is on back order. It has now been almost a month with no bike because it is still sitting at the dealership waiting for the seal to come in. 😭
I have not had issues like this with my bike.
I had the same issue. Apparently some cfmoto motors from the assembly line drilled a little deep on the waterpump which gave you a slow leak. I got a new motor installed under warranty
Let the dealer know about that issue. At least that's what my dealer told me. I bought mine on December 17, 2023 and had to take the bike in in January 30, 2024. It took until March 7th that I was able to get it back under a new wayerpump, but was still having the same issue. So the dealer had a representative from cfmoto to check it out and I got me a new motor
Just noticed, did you remove the blue decal along the bottom? Ive been thinking about removing it and the "SR" sticker because mine says "play to win" and i hate it 😂
Yeah, I removed the blue lower sticker. I liked it, other than it seems like it was cut off. I think they could have made it look better, so I took it off!
Hey Robsolutely, good to see you on your CFMOTO again. Yeah Recall is pretty normal these days regardless of brand. You seemed to have stuck with the CFMOTO 450 longer than some of other bikes you have had so you must be enjoying it :) Keep safe.
Yeah, very happy with the CFMOTO 450SS.
OK BUT, spare parts, this is what i consider the only problem. did they improve the logistics? will i find parts to service my bike along time the times or will it just rust when something breaks
Any brand new bike will take a while for aftermarket parts to come out. There are a lot available for the 450SS now and more on the way.
Guess who’s gonna be doing your tbox recall 😎 keep up the good videos man!
Heck yeah! I'll see you soon. Thanks too man.
I'm coming up near the 450ss break in oil change, do you know what's the oil filter capsize by any chance?
You mean the engine oil cap? Did you lose yours? I would contact your dealer to be sure.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Oh I mean the filter, because in tutorials I see people use a oil filter cap addon to remove the filter, they never show the size of it though, so I wondered if you knew by any chance. Or maybe I can just try using my hand.
@@juststuff2471 Oil filters should be hand-tight, so you should be able to get it off easily. Never over tighten the oil filter.
have worked in the industry. The other manufacturers did recalls. Honda when they updated their new pan european (was a while ago) They did several, from wiring loom to paint protection from the seat. Often they are done while the machine is in for service.
I think it's a common thing for safety, especially on new models.
I do have one question. Ive had my 450ss for about 10 months now and after about 4 months, I noticed the chain makes a lot of noise. It only starts after about 30mph but gains in intensity with more speed. Its kind of like a zipping sound. Ive adjusted, cleaned and lubed it several times and even took it to the shop and they adjusted it and said everything is fine on it. Im kind of irritated because anyone riding on my left hears the chain over the motor. Its really only noiticible for me when riding if I lean over to that side, or if im not wearing a helmet.
Is this something you have dealt with or heard about at all?
I don't notice any noise from the chain. From what you are saying, it sounds to me like yours is rubbing against something. You said you adjusted it and keep is lubed, so it should't be too loose. If you have a rear stand, maybe put it up on that and turn the back wheel to see if the chain hits on something?
@@ROBSOLUTELY Yea i did that and its not hitting anything, even the dealership took a look at it and made sure it was adjusted properly.
Im actually going to trade it in and get a rebel 1100. It will be more comfortable and a little more power and storage with the touring boxes.
@@Raeodor That sucks, but the Rebel may be good for you.
I wonder if it's the new Euro 5 emissions. I got a Euro 5 bike a few months ago and I can now hear both the drivetrain when moving and the valve train at idle. All the new Euro 5 bikes are so quiet that odd noises that you would never hear before now can be heard.
@@langhamp8912 pretty sure it's the chain and just a cheap sprocket.
The engine sounds awesome, especially for a smaller bike. I'm looking forward to the MT 450 when it comes out, i believe it uses the same motor.
I think the MT450 is going to be another big seller for CFMOTO!
2 year warranty? 4 years here in the UK, and 8 years breakdown cover if you keep it serviced by a CFMOTO dealer. I've just bought a 450 NK. I haven't ridden in 35 years..... and I love it. 👍🏼
2 year in the USA.
2 year warranty is free with the bike. I can’t remember how much exactly but it was pretty dang cheap to have another 3 years added on through either CF or your dealer. Coolest part of that is they let you buy it at any point within the first two years.
@@l3v1890nice to know. So I can buy as long as two years don’t pass? And how much it it?
I had a recall on my Yamaha MT-10 - the front brake light switch / cruise control recall
As long as they fix it, I think a recall is okay. Just so there aren't too many.
I bought a 450ss last May. I haven’t ridden it since last September due to an injury. It was probably a sign that I didn’t ride it. (Any tips on how to restore it?)
I'm not sure what you need to restore? It was new when you bought it? So it should be good to go. Charge the battery if doesn't have a charge, make sure you have gas in the tank and ride!
@@ROBSOLUTELY no need for an oil change ?
@@junyuuh7492 First oil change after break in period. Having the bike sit for a few months it not a reason for an oil change, unless it's maybe over a year. Talk to you dealer and let them know. I cannot say for sure, but they will be able to answer your questions.
I think the bike will be launching in India. I wanted to ask whether it has a quickshifter preloaded or does it come as an accessory. And if accessory then how much does it cost? I’m actually confused between RS457 and this bike.
The 450SS is the USA model, so I am not sure if it's different in other countries. I would check with a dealer on the specs to be sure.
How many Miles do you have on your 450? How is the reliability? I wanna buy the 450cl-c and its the Same engine
Just under 1,500. It's been good. One recall, but that doesn't bother me because they are taking care of it.
Which one is best for a beginner bike this cfmoto 450 or ktm rc 390 ?
I didn't like my RC390, so I would say the 450SS, however, it's just the comfort level that I didn't like on the KTM. Both good bikes. See which you fit on best.
Good review was looking for a second bike coming from a z125
I used to have a Z-125. Also had a Grom. Someday I'll get another mini moto as a second bike. CFMOTO 450SS has been awesome for me.
@ROBSOLUTELY my wife is 4.9 you think it be a good beginner bike for her ?
That Yoshimura exhaust sounds sooo good!
Yes! I love it!
I have a grom, 450ss, and a Gsxr 750. The 450ss is my daily and it’s ALL the power I need and more. So much fun, I honestly like this bike the most (I just like the sound of inline 4 on my gsxr 😅)
Sweet! I had a Grom a while back. It was my favorite bike until the 450SS. Now that's my favorite of all time.
With the V4 engine CFMoto is developing, they're probably co-developing it with Yamaha.
It's going to be a beast!
Suzuki had a recent recall as well funny enough. Anyone trying to blame recalls on just CFMoto likely have an agenda to push
You are exactly right.
I have a cfmoto 300nk
Nice! How do you like it?
It's is a great motorcycle. It rides good. The motorcycle fits me good. I'm 5'5" so it fits me just right.
@@nativeoutdoors7963 Sounds perfect! Ride safe and keep enjoying it!
Also
You are supposed to talk about the bike, the good the bad? (care to check your screenshot?) and you end up talking about air bags and helmets and whatever
I talked about the good of the bike, because I don't have anything bad to say about it, other than the recall, which isn't really a bad thing. Airbag vest is part of how I ride and it's bad.
I'm too lazy to look it up. i just call you crazy 😛
That's what I want to hear! 😜
Whats with the silence breaks? Edit your videos pls
Silence because many people like to hear the sound of the bike. I've edited more tight and had people ask for some sound clips.
No one in America will make a bike like that and for that price, NEVER. CHINA HAS CAME A LONG WAY IN MAKING QUALITY PRODUCTS NOW THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A GREAT ECONOMY, MARKET, TECHNOLOGY AND EXPERIENCE SO WHO CARES WHAT COUNTRY A GOOD PRODUCT IS MADE AS A CONSUMER? JUST BUY IT FOR THE QUALITY AND VALUE AND ENJOY IT AND ENJOY LIFE. (FYI IT'S THE SAME FOR EXAMPLE ALIEXPRESS CHINESE WATCHES ~$200, AS GOOD AS OF VALUE OR BETTER THAN JAPANESE WATCHES AND OVER PRICED SWISS WATCHES IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR)
I agree!
I can't comment on this without getting nasty. So lets just say I would walk first.
Nasty against me, the bike or something else? 😱
@@ROBSOLUTELY The country or origin, the support of that country. To me this is sitting on an AAA gun in Hanoi
@@n95265 I get it, but I bet you have things around your home that are from China too. Even American products have a lot of Chinese parts in them. It's out of hand, but not much we can do as people.
I think its funny that Americans don't want to buy Chinese stuff because it "supports the regime" but Chinese people aren't really boycotting American products despite hating the US government.
@@ROBSOLUTELY So very true, I just see a difference between buying something made in china and something made FOR china.
