CFMOTO 450MT Budget Adventure Build EP.4 | Bash Plate, Luggage Racks, Case Saver & More | GIVEAWAY!

get a higher fender as well!

I bought my 450MT to teach the missus to ride off-road (she bought one too). For the money it’s great value, sounds awesome and I’m selling my other over priced adventure bike 😂

Hey had to check in. The klr videos smashed it. I will check out the new videos. Keep ripping and thanx for all the videos
Dno

I’m in Oregon, my local dealer has 4 of them and he’s only 15 miles away. I’m 76 now and struggle with the weight of my BMW 1200GS and the height of my Husqvarna 701. The MT450 fits me perfectly.

The jerking stopped when I put a slip on on

When you review Cfmoto 800MTX ?!?

Wanted to thank you for pointing me to Sam and the fam at B&B. Over the last few days Sam has been super helpful while I'm working through some mounting bracket mis-alignment issues on my IBEX. I'm also sending back my CF Moto "off-road" plate and swapping in B&Bs much better designed unit. (For anyone State side, even with shipping charges, they are still very competitive if not downright cheap on some things)

Speaking of design, have you figured out how to bypass or relocate the kick stand switch if need be? Considering how poorly positioned it is, it seems like it could really ruin your day if it took a hit and shorted or failed to let the bike start. Thx!

Energetic talented adaptable

All these modifications are looking awesome on the bike. Especially the upgraded seat, I think it enhances the look of the bike and gives it a bit of that Dakar look. My only gripe with the bike is the ridiculously wide tank. It flares out too much in my opinion and I wish cfmoto gave it a slimmer profile.

Picking up my USA ibex tomorrow same color as yours. I need protection and looked everywhere for this video again to know the company you got it from.

Nice Project ✌🏻✌🏻

My wife blames you for me buying the bike because I kept making her watch the videos to convince her 😂

Hello, it's me again.
I have used the bike for a while in the weekend, and I really liked it.
Only thing, it looks like my clutch slips sometimes, especially in rpms between 6k and 8k 4* gear. I like to change gears with no clutch and when going from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 i can feel the revs increase faster than the speed increases for like half a second.
Gets worse when bike and clutch gets hotter.
Clutch lever is set property and has plenty of free play.
Now, did my bike get abused in just 3000kms by the previous owner or it's just the trade off of having a small clutch and feather like clutch lever?
Thanks for you patience, cheers from Italy

Thanks Curtis. The build is coming along nicely.

Wife didn’t like me riding to dangerous she said so I stopped. Didn’t touch a bike for 15 years then caught her cheating on me then through the divorce went broke and couldn’t afford a bike to ride until I saw the CFMoto 450 fixed my head best therapist ever not so bad not being with someone you shouldn’t be even if it does cost you everything!

I got an AliExpress bash plate, costed 50 euros lol, cheapest I've ever seen one posted! I am doing the real budget build!

Because of you mate! You got it on my radar and kept it there. I've never bought a bike unseen, but now I've got one in my garage with a meter of snow on the ground. Your suspension vid is chock full of great info for my local suspension guy and your farkeling vids are a big help. Cheers!

I bought a CF Moto because .. I lost a bet .. and now stuck with this CCP spyware of a motorcycle.

Hey Curtis, I bought CF Moto 450MT because to quote one of the greatest Australian Racers ever and he's fantastic summery " my ambition outweighs my talent " hahaha😂

no coment because i,m not convinced I think they are still too heavy for what they are

Hey mate the rig is looking tough now 🍻 I bought the 450mt cos I’ve been through all the other dual sports, klx250, drz400e, Crf250l, 300l and most recently the 450l. All great bikes but I was looking for that one bike that could actually do it all comfortably. Wanted to expand my rides instead of hanging around local tracks. My mate has a t7 which I loved but was just too big for me. To me the 450mt is the mini t7 I always wanted! And for the price well there’s nothing else like it, cheers

I bought mine because it was one of the few ADV bikes I can touch the ground on (ducks disease) also, the fuel range & other owners reviews helped with the decision, done 1200km, great bike so far, it's exceeded my expectations.

You coming on the Linville ride

Hey mate, I got my CFMOTO 450MT because I had a KLR650 and kept dropping it because it was too top heavy and tall 😂 much happier with the feel of the bike, hoping to get some mods done soon!

I bought the 450MT because I believed it to be a lightweight twin adventure bike. I'm a little saddened by the power to weight ratio for this bike. If it could be light, 45ish hp would be fine.

I upgraded from the KTM390 to the MT450, because it made sense. Full size wheels, proper suspension, and a sweeeet sounding twin - all for such a great price!

Tennere fot riding in two better?

Come oooon Curtis, you urgently need to change those tires!

There are a lot of companies that sell good products, but for some reason they think that people know exactly how their products are supposed to be put on without instructions. How hard could it be to write a simple install sheet? I've noticed it's really gotten worse over the last 10 years.

How hard will it be to remove all the BB branding?

Hi there ,i've bought mine 450 mt because i was already riding bicycles long time -downhill style.But with years comming by it seems to me i wanted have something that can cover big distances and have fun on trails then after ,so what else other can be than the good old time fashioned horse,you give him water and grass and he goes but it wasnt that practical so i have upgraded it to his iron brother ... so thats why i have bought this thing.Its just my Iron Horse ,reliable ,comfy,it can jump it loves the mud and so on.
I am situated in Bulgaria so i am not eligible for the giveaway ,but a ihave to tell that a have already ordered a bash plate from B&B and i have to say that this is like the old time german products ,so much quality ,i bet it will last long time.Also not to forget to mention Nelson from B&B who was so kind to figure out how to get a hold of one their products ,because they were not shiping to Bulgaria at that time.Great bike build series with great products,keep on doing what you are already doing ,you're great at it!

Has anyone had the opportunity to try the configuration with 15 sprocket and 45 chainring? Can consumption be improved at 110/120 km/h and can the engine have a lower rpm?

Such a great looking bike. I think the 450MT will help build trust in the cfmoto brand.

Bought the 450mt to ride to offset my cruiser . Enjoying the off beaten track adventures . Radiator guard would be great to go with the B&B bash plate I have already installed on the mighty Moto Mt

I got my first bike over 50 years ago.
I’ve ridden both dirt and road and raced motoX and Super motard. I’ve had bikes from Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, Triumph, KTM, Harley Davidson and Royal Enfield. I’ve had the RE Interceptor for a couple of years and love it but also wanted to get back into some form of dirt riding. I took a RE Himalayan 450 for a test ride but was unable to take the 450MT for a ride. Regardless the amazing experiences people seem to be having led me to make a decision to get one without riding one but I did look at one and the build quality impressed me. I picked mine up a couple of days ago and couldn’t be happier at this point. I bought it to get back in touch with where I started motorcycling and just go do some trail riding dirt roads fire trails etc and maybe add some touring at some stage. I recently retired and am looking forward to adding ks to both bikes.
Love the channel.
Cheers.

I would put some short bolts in the left side holes for the passenger foot pegs.

Will you be testing the mt-x 800?

Hey Curtis, I didnt buy a CF Moto but my best mate did. He bought his because he was needing some freedom and mental health relief. Since buying it we have been riding every 2nd weekend. He also rides it to his therapist, its a great conversation starter for him and its allowing him some much needed time to himself. If anyone deserves a bit of a pick me up it him. Plus my next thing is to get him out and go camping.

The bike looks like a military assault weapon now. B&B makes beautiful parts.

Hey Curtis, loving yr content. 🤩
I bought the CF Moto 450 MT to go adventure riding with my son, and to learn dirt skills along the way.
Having a blast discovering Diagular and Bellthoroe National Park, and feeling more confident with every ride. 😃
I've tricked my bike up a bit, and as I now have the high front fender, all I'm missing is the radiator guard. 😉

Can't wait to see how your 450 goes, especially with better tyres. 🤪

Love what you do!

RobinB. 😊

I highly recommend titanium headers, mid pipe and tuned ecu from Uncle Wangs (yes Hong Kong). It's $380 usd, exh very good quality, you get tuned ecu (not perfect off idle but much better than factory). There is a noticeable increase in power, and the engine is "happier" everywhere. Bought my for more oriented adv rides (my Rally 300 is just not enough for that). Biggest dissappear in the mt450, too short top gearing for on road adv portions. Nice vids, thx.

Great mate! Just added the same B&B products and agree about the lack of instructions haha. I bought my CF because it puts a smile on my face and less holes in my wallet :)

PS - pyjamas and Akubra combo is next level ‘Straya 😂

I got the CF Moto because I’ve always wanted a B&B radiator guard 😁👍

Bought my 450mt due to being old and fat and needed something to get my lazy self out there . And all i could afford but what a blessing it has been got 11000 ks on it now and love the bike . But still old and fat 😂

for an ecu tune look up SSS Motorcycles in Tamworth…also see if a G2 throttle tamer is available to help the touchy throttle

Hi- love the video series! I bought my 450mt to celebrate birth of my daughter and get some much needed adventure/headspace/escape time from everyday life (and the occasional high pitched cry!). Just for now it’s an hour or so every second day, but got my first whole morning off the other day and went on an amazing 2 hour loop ride onto the gravel!

Just got my ECU back with a stage 2 tune. I didn't have quite the same fueling issues that you have but the aftermarket tune is night and day to the standard fuel map. Definitely highly recommended
