Just hit 15,000 miles  By  skuttadawg (Read 1,392 times)

What kind of oil do u use? I'm running castrol racing 10w40 full synth.

Castrol Synblend

I have original rotors and front pads with no squeaks unless I ride in the rain . With oil changes every 1,000 miles yours should last a long time and keep you smiling

I just hit 8,888 on the Vog. Hope to be able to post my own 15K one of these days! Continued safe and enjoyable riding to you.

I am now about to hit 17,000 with only tires , 3 darn headlights ( grrr its a hassle to get the front clip off an on ) 1 running light and tail light replaced . I still have the stock pads on the front as I replaced the rear at 12k even though they had some meat left on em to be safe . I replace parts BEFORE they are worn all the way out . I can tell the Dr Pulley sliders have worn some as take off is faster and I top out at 70 instead of 75 now . I have a rev limiter in the ECU instead of having a CDI box like carb types do . I over filled the seat bucket with tools and stuff one night and cracked the underneath of the seat bottom . Well over time the crack has grown and it sags so I ordered a new seat and hated that it was 75 dollars . The engine runs perfect and is still a beast . I put in a NGK iridium plug before I left the dealership when I bought it and I wonder how much longer it will last . I must say I am very impressed with the engine and CVT as its all original except I replaced the rollers with DR P sliders around 5,5k miles and belt at 12k . The single 35w headlight is pretty darn good as its brighter than most and has a long beam on hi . The brakes are amazingly perfect as only the slightest touch and I stop quick and smooth . I do think the rear shocks are wimpy even on the firmest dampening setting . It has too much of the weight biased on the rear instead of on the front which can make it skeery when going over 60 at times even with me pushing down on feet with them on the further front on the floorboard . I raced an Eclipse from a red light yesterday and I outran him . I can jump to 50 in 5 seconds or less and cruise 50 to 60 all day long with ease . He was spinning the tires and missed 2nd gear LOL . I made it to my turn around 1,000 feet and he caught up with me as I had to slow down . I could hear the passenger yell to him " dang dude a moped whooped ya " LOL .

CFMoto is a much better scooter than the majority of the China scoots . I really was sold on the 2 year unlimited mile FULL warranty as most around here are a limited 30 or day , some 6 months and just a couple 1 year but not a full warranty just the engine . I would buy a CFMoto Glory in a heart beat since it has the same engine as mine , but it has halogen headlights , a super cool LED dash , gas cap in the front instead of under the seat , wider 14s as mine has 16s but not as wide and the headlight is in the body instead of on the handlebars . I figured I could point the beam with the Echarm and liked how the radiator was in the front grill as the Glory it is under neath main body section . My scooter dealer has a Glory that has custom built shocks , HID and LEDs , an injector for a 250cc , and the same 250cc " cherry bomb " muffler that I had . I put the stock back on as it is super quiet as the other was kinda loud . The CFMotos do not even have a kick start and have a 12 pole stator where most are 8 and some 11 pole . I really like having F&R disc brakes as cabled drums are wimpy , squeaky and more work to replace the shoes compared to rotor pads .

Prodigit so you have never adjusted the valves at all ? My dealer said almost all are out of specs out of the crate and if they are good then surely will need adjusting at least once later on . Mine needed adjusting at 2,200 miles as it would stall just before stopping but fire right back up . My ATM the rear tire came off of the bead and it was firm and no sagging as I always give a gentle kick to see its firm and use a gauge here and there . My rear wheel was far from being a perfectly round circle and the valve stem leaked . It is a common thing on some stock stems to leak and just a few bucks to get a new one . I like the degree ones since its easier to get an air hose attached . Did some or all of the blinkers go out ? If some check the bulbs as its easy to burn out . If all get a short piece of wire to be a jumper behind the switch as it may be bad . If it passes that then perhaps the relay is bad . Very normal for wires to get loose and require a snug to keep a good connection . My ATM the front tire had such a knot in it I did not get a 1/4 from the lot before returning and making them replace the tire as it was unsafe to ride .

My scooter dealer took his Glory to a local motorcycle shop with a dyno and it was just over 12HP at the rear wheel with a 13 to 1 fuel aspect ratio with the 250injector on a 150 engine

Skutta despite your illustrious position, we still need pics or it never happened
