that sucks to hear.. tbh that's what keeping me from pulling the trigger to get 800nk

first model + mforce handling, if any issue come up then have to wait more than 1 month to fix 
and don't think there are any 3rd party workshop that can work on cfmoto issues too

Meanwhile, we're expecting the tyres to need replacements once the bike passes the 25000km mark. Finding a replacement set for that 18" + 17" combo is proving to be fucking aggravating...

800NK using 80% ER6 kawa engine, not the duke 790 engine ke same like 800MT?

I guess the engine is the part that you don't really need to worry about since its based on reliable platform, but rather the electronics.
Troubleshooting + ordering = kena sidai? 

But looks like most of the 800MT guys are happy bunch so maybe not much to worry about

how do you search for the parts at taobao?

if don't know chinese how 

Mana beli, bro? Aku tanya kedai, semua bilang mesti mau order... harga RM1500 tak lari... damn cilaka coz this T32 model was launched a friggin' decade ago!

Maybe it would feel a bit like the BMW R1250RT which is also a big cc 2-cylinder bike? The beemer is a boxer though.

Went around asking in Sentul, NKS quoted RM1400 siap pasang for a set of T32s made 10 months ago. Malas nak fikir panjang, so they went on the bike so that I have one less thing to worry about while the wife resumes commuting on the bike.

Got the bike back after 1.5 months. Mforce Segambut now tells me the defect was such that the exhaust valves in one of the cylinders were destroyed so they replaced the whole block except the crank & crankcase under warranty. That wasn't exactly what Evan from Penang told me. Haihh. Was instructed to break-in the engine again for the next 1000km. She has been riding it to work since and it runs fine now.

Once her Trident arrives, I'll service the brakes, flush the cooling system, send it in to have the air filter, oil + filter replaced... and put it up for sale. So whoever buys it gets a brand new engine, fresh tires & a freshly serviced bike plus consumables for the next service.

After we got the bike back from CFmoto Penang, my wife rode it to work to break-in the engine for 1000km. Had it serviced again and the engine developed another nasty problem where it would mysteriously die in the middle of the highway, resulting in a close call with an accident one night. So back it went to Mforce Segambut and predictably they taichi to Penang. Whenever they send your bike to Penang, it automatically means 2 months out of action.

Finally got it back yesterday after another day of leave from work. They said it was a dead fuel injector relay. I was thinking, why the fuck did you send the bike all the way to Penang if it was just a faulty relay? Are you guys in Mforce Segambut that fucking lazy?

So I rode it home... and immediately noticed a weird handling issue - there was a notch in the middle of the steering requiring some effort to overcome in order to steer the bike left of right. This is symptomatic of a bad steering cone / head bearing. This shit sure wasn't there before!! Immediately called up Mforce again to return the bike, but the boss is tired of seeing the backlog of shit quality bikes in their front yard so they need to clear them. Can't bring the bike back to them until after Raya, when exactly nobody knows.

Useless fucks.

At this point I'm just about ready to drop a lighted match in the fuel tank.

If any of you guys are thinking to buy anything from Mforce, I recommend a visit to Segambut and start making friends with the mechanics there. You're going to fucking need all the connections you can make. And start by taking a look at all the dead bikes in the front yard, look at the fault reports. And look at the dates. This will give you an idea of what you're about to get yourself into so you make your purchase with your eyes wide open.

Do you know of any good mechanic who knows this bike well? It's just the steering cone / head bearings, it's a no-brainer fix that should not take 2 months and another trip to Penang.

I don't think Mforce Segambut wants to see our faces anymore, that's why they sent the bike to Penang for 2 months just to change a fucking relay.
