For me the decision was very budget based. I was looking for the best deal I could find on a middle weight adventure bike and this $4000 KTM was it. If not for this KTM I was seriously considering a...

Thanks friend. I think I'm going with the CFM 650 adv. despite it's limited off road ability. I'm probably going to keep the Templar for that. The only used Vstrom in my area is 10 years old with 25k...

I'm not too worried about the 17" front wheel but it's been a long time since I rode anything smaller than a 21" wheel in loose gravel or sand. That was my 71 Mini Enduro 60. My intention is to fit...

If I pass on the Adventura my choice will be between the 450MT and Himalayan 450. My first choice would be a 19" front but 21" is fine too.

I should've mentioned that I intend to ride about 80/20-90/10 road/dirt. I'd really like a 19" front but with my low budget I have to make some compromise. I'd rather have a 17" front wheel than a...

I recently went to look at a CFMoto 650 ADV and the RE Himalayan/Scram 411. This dealer advertised $3995 for the CFMoto and $4500 for the Scram (Himmy out of stock) but they quoted $6300 and $6900...

Ugh... how important is the 21" front wheel? I wanted a 19" as a compromise but a 21" will cost me about $2000 more and handicap road manners.

Thanks Thumper. It's also got Shad bags, KYB suspension, DID chain and Pirelli tires. Just to complicate matters I found a 2013 Honda NC700X with 4600 miles in great condition for $4100 OTD....

My reservations are the weight, 17" front wheel and cast wheels. What I really want is a 450MT or Himmy 450 so I might wait it out. I'm also looking at some used Honda NC700X models.

CFMoto 650 Adventura

I am considering buying a new bike and found a good deal on the 650 Adv. ($5400 OTD). I also really like the new Himalayan 450 but can't find one. I'm looking for advice. I'm 61, 6' 250# and have bad...

I used an adjustable wrench because I couldn't find a suitable socket. I think I have a 11/4" socket so if I can find it easily I'll try it next time. Maybe buy the right socket some day.

I have no firsthand experience with larger front sprockets on the Templar but I recall reading others state that a 14t requires some clearancing of the side case/cover and that a 15t can fit. I...

DPR8EIX-9 will work in the ZS172FMM-3A engine. Yes, it is slightly longer than the stock plug but dozens (possibly hundreds) of people have been running this plug without issue. To be safe you could...

I'm glad to hear that the supplemental air spring is working out for you. It's probably not as good as the proper rate coil springs but thus far it's all we've got. I haven't ridden mine in 2 months...

Yes, use a hand pump. Ideally a bicycle suspension air pump works best since they don't lose air when disconnecting. They use a switch to open/close the valve. I wouldn't put more than 25 psi in them...
