Hey guys... back again. We never figured this issue out and I just parked the bike in the garage. Can anyone give me a play by play as to where these tubes from the carb go to? I have no experience and my brother isn't being of any help but I would love to ride again and get to know how to fix this puppy.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

My brother was disassembling some of the lines on my bike to clean them up. The problem now is he doesn't remember how the line that comes out of the fuel tank connects to the bike. I looked in the manual with no luck. Anyone with a CFMoto v5 250 able to take a picture of how/where it connects? We would really appreciate any help.
Thanks all!
PS. we know which hose connects to the carburetor but there's another hose similar in size to the one that goes to the carburetor, where does this go? Also there are larger tubes, i need to find out where these go to.

Hello all,
I have a 2008 CFMoto v5 that my brother is helping install a few upgrades on. I have a few questions for anyone willing to help! I was looking at the performance parts over on Scrappydogs.com and I decided I was going to get the performance carburetor but I'm not entirely sure which one to get because it comes in 2 sizes. Here's a link to the site
goo.gl/ijdq2q
I've also decided to get the performance air filter, what are your opinions on other potential upgrades for this bad boy?
Have a nice day

Thank you, thank you! My brother looked at the bike again today and he said it sounds like the only thing that needs to happen now is to run it! I don't have my motorcycle endorsement yet, however, I've scheduled my driver safety course with Team Oregon for May 9th and once I've completed that, I'll be able to go for a good ride  |

love to see pics of it and what you are doing to it. I'll post pics tomorrow if the weather permits me to take them! Also, my brother is coming over tomorrow and we're going to tinker. So far, we've just seafoamed it |

[replyingto=ridecheap]ridecheap[/replyingto]I don't think there are any major issues like that with my bike, my brother doesn't think so either. He thinks it needs new filters and new oil but that's it, I'll replace those things with my next paycheck (Hopefully, money's tight after buying this bad boy!) and let you all know how it goes!

For sever gunk build up its best to remove the idle and main jet in the carb by removing the bowl on the bottom . I use spray and blow through em or you could use a stiff solid wire . The Teflon intakes are known for rotting and cracking thus causing leaks . I think you have a Kehin carb which is a very good brand and easy to get parts like jets and rebuild kit . Does it have a decompression tube ? My CFMoto Echarm does and if I redline it sometimes a sip of oil gets in the tube as its capped but does not leak a drop . I would change the oil ASAP just to be safe even if the color looks good . Now most scooters use GL5 which is 80w  gear lube like cars use but my Echarm uses 15w 40 motor oil in the gears and needs to be changed every 1,000 miles with the oil . Make sure to remove and clean the oil screen too CFMoto makes a great engine but it does not have an aftermarket like the GY6 which has boocoos . Being LC or liquid cooled I would change out the coolant to be safe with Prestone that says safe for aluminum from any auto parts store and once its filled up start it up with the cap off and burp the air out prior to riding . Should have plenty of power but if you desire more I saw a 300cc BBK with 4 valve head at www.scootertronics.com . I would NEVER buy from them as I have read several complaints but their site is easy to find parts and you can see if you can find elsewhere from a reputable vendor . Since your a green wrench I will tell you all of the 4T or 4 stroke engines will need to have the valves adjusted at least once . Moist get too tight or do not open up enough and do not allow enough fuel and air to start or run the engine and it baffles most shade tree mechanics minds as it may have fire , compression and fuel but not start . Mine on the other hand were loose and it would stall just before coming to a stop unless I gave it some throttle but start right up . This was at 2,200 miles and once reset it was new again and I am just under 15,000 miles and still runs strong At the risk of sounding like a noob, I have to ask, what do you mean by "300cc BBK"? |

Alright guys, so I seafoamed my bike! There wasn't a ton of smoke, the bike actually moved this time! Before when I got it to start, if I tried to give it any gas it would die. I'm going to try and cold start it tomorrow and see how that goes!
Thanks again for all your helps.
