I hope other CF650 owners are here.

However, I would love to see a two-bike photo, even if others don't reply.

Aren't there a few of you on mychinamoto.com with CF 650s in the UK? I don't mean to get rid of you guys, by the way, just that I am a member of mychinamoto and I have seen several people post there from the UK with CF 650s. And, yes, even if there are just two of you here on chinariders, would love to see photos of your bikes whether or not you guys do meet up or separately.

Hi there

Yeah there are, but I've given up on mychinamoto, I joined well before Christmas, and yet on my account, I can't post new posts or even post replies !!

My account permissions are :

You may not post new threads
You may not post replies
You may not post attachments
You may not edit your posts

Kind of defeats being a member of a forum !!

Anyhow, I do have a quick question, can anbody suggest a larger side stand, than the stock one? Or, an extension of some description to the side stand?

Cheers

Tony

Hi All

I'm slowly tweaking my CF650TR, nothing much, I've added a radiator guard, satnav mount (designed for an ST1300), cotton reel bobbins for use with a paddock stand, nice big top box. I'm risking my first order with a tabao agent for a set of pannier crash bars, however, there's still a couple of things I'm looking at.

Like almost everyone else, I think the side stand is a little on the short side, has anybody tried fitting an adjustable one, such as this?

Also, whilst on the subject of side stands, I've had my fair share of problems with side stand switches in the past, so, I was thinking of removing it from the CF650 & using a bypass, like this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-E...wAAOSwYHxWQa10

Again, anybody have any experience with one of these?

Cheers

Tony

Hi All

Finally got to take my CF650TR out in the sun :-)Only a little ride round, Up the M54 -> to the A41
A41 -> A5
A5 -> M6
M6 -> M54

And back home...

Gave me chance to adjust the angle of the sat nav

And this is how it looks in the sun !!

Adjuster · 02-24-2016, 03:52 PM

That's a handsome motorcycle.

Thanks for posting the nice photos.

Weldangrind · 02-25-2016, 12:44 AM

That's pretty sharp!

Tranberg · 02-25-2016, 03:17 AM

Which Japanese engine is the CF650 based on?

linuxyeti · 02-25-2016, 04:15 AM

Hi All

Thanks, yeah, I like it :-) The engine, and I think for the most part the frame, are based on a Kawasaki 2006-2008 ER6N.

Unfortunately, in the UK, WK Bikes, have no idea of customer service, but luckily, anything I might have trouble with, I can get via tabao.

Cheers

Tony
