Sorry to hear that. MForce is the only bugbear when it comes to Chinese bikes here. If something goes wrong with the bike, it would be weeks before it gets sorted out.

I think you can find Bridgestone T32s in the 18/17 combo. I think that's what our own ajaibman uses on his. What I want to know is how did you make the MT60s last 25000kms? Lol.

Ouch

That's the thing about MForce bikes. Some comes with good tyres but after market don't have replacements

The CLX adventure and Motomorini xcape comes with excellent scorpion STRs....but no one brings those sizes here.

It's one of the reasons keeping me from buying the CLX. Damn tough to find good sporting 18" fronts.

Later say pre-order only. Hahahaha. Wait 1 month to arrive.

Ultimately it depends on Mforce's commitment for older customer bikes. But can MForce really stock up so many parts for so many bike models they sell/sold? If you buy an MForce bike, you are likely pretty much on your own for parts.

I can imagine the relief. But keeping a customer in the dark for months is still unacceptable.

However you case isn't unique..heard quite a few owners have had bikes parked for a long time waiting for troubleshooting.

I think it's a manpower issue. Everyone taichi ..end up nothing gets done. They are probably swamped at the service centre....as you guess, segambut probably just ships everything back to PG.

Checking for a no start, no run problem is actually quite simple and straightforward. First check for spark and fuel. Then compression and leak down test.


First the Dominar, now the CLX... U sure got bad luck with cheap bikes.

Good, if they sell enough NKs maybe MForce will support the bike and owners more. Kudos being the brave soul that would still give MForce a chance.

Since you have an 800NK, did yours come with a USB charging port? Right side, under the tank fairing?

Dealer seems to be unsure if it's standard item included with the bike. Which is really weird, since China manufacturer usually throws everything in....which is even weirder as they DID give you every option as standard on the NK. Dealer says have to buy separately. (Around 100). From which dealer did you get your NK from?

Looks like dealers dumping bikes also. 2nd hand prices koyak

Hmmm..interesting. notice the rear hugger on the CLX? Yep it's the same one on the NK.

And from the pictures, it shows a freshly shipped bike with the rear hugger partially installed.

I'm thinking maybe they are all shipped like this and the local dealer is responsible to do the final set up.

So..... I wonder who fucked up on my bike...... MForce or GSCycle.

Danial is still there. But I think MForce is playing football. Everything also thrown back to Pg.

As far as I know they just do regular service... Any troubleshooting also throw back to Pg. Even then heard from other guys there, do diagnostics also need 1 month booking. MForce is hopeless.

Just don't buy any MForce bikes and save yourself a shit load of headache.

PG also a real POS. I told them to do the 1000k service while the bike was there....then they shipped the bike back without doing the service. Ask Segambut, say need booking. WTF.

450NK

Said 3 bike launch. So maybe tmrw another teaser for the 3rd bike.

I cant get over the look of the bulbous rear end and bucktooth front headlight. They should have made the rear more slim and integrated the headlights into the air intakes and DRLs.

Anyway. 49nm at 10,000rpm isn't going to pull your arms off. Any of the similarly priced twin 800 cc bikes or older 750 fours would seriously gap it.

Probably can be considered if you are willing to wait for major rebates and discounts to come.

Well my 800NK was only 36k with change (35,888). So........

20hp more, nearly double the torque at 4000rpm less.

The recent cfmoto were in house designs from CFMOTO's European design arm.. The designer was Carles Solsona. Previously worked for MV Agusta and Ducati. Reason to believe he knows how to make a good looking bike.



The original design concept that led to the 800NK.

Always thought the 800nk had a hint of MV Agusta DNA. As it turns out......

Personally, I don't think the j Juan brakes has any inherent issues. Plenty of stopping power. Just the initial bite is not as sharp as I like. And in this segment with potentially newer riders, probably a good thing. ABS action is pretty good on the NK. Not too intrusive. Allows a bit of lock before activating.

I didn't stay for the 675 launch. Got too hot and left early and there was no test ride for the new bike anyway.


They could have made the 675 a bit more aggressive and a bit more powerful. Right now, the NK still beats it...as long as you can keep the front wheel on the ground.

Right now, less than 4k separates the 500 voom, 675sr and the 800NK. In fact with ongoing rebates on the 800NK, it's actually cheaper than the 675sr and only 1k more than the 500 voom.

I think for balance, the J Juan's aren't as bad as you put it. It's certainly about on par to what youd find on class players like the base z900 and 8S. The NK is tuned to be a more street able and comfortable bike not to be compared to supersports. Yes if you ride an NK at well over 90% (as I have), then yes, it's shortcomings are apparent in terms of brakes, weight distribution and suspension.

Take the brake complaints with a grain of salt, it's easy for reviewers to compare to the best they have sampled, forgetting what or to which buyer demographic the bike was tuned for.

You really don't want a herky jerky front brake for a daily bike, especially for newer riders that haven't mastered fine motor skills. The duke790 has the same brake setup and I have not heard much brake complaints on that either.

In fact for some reason, its about the same as the Brembo stylema setup on the 700CLX sport in terms of stopping power, and the rear brakes is much better than the Brembo equipped CLX.

9 months. 26k km. Currently the 2nd highest mileage 800nk.in Malaysia. Soon to be highest.

If you want my review and the issues I have with that, can go to the 800nk thread.....somewhere here on the forum. I will be posting updates periodically.

Too add, pad size, number of pistons, hose type

In all fairness, it's tough to get bad brakes nowadays. Modern brakes all work quite well, only if they are sized up correctly for he bike/weight/riding style. You'd be considered nitpicking if you are complaining about brake feel on all but the cheapest bargain bin parts. Once you move up to a midsize, the brakes are usually ok for daily riding. If you are a track jungky then maybe you are that 5% that the stock brakes will be insufficient.

I may be partial, but I think the 800nk looks better. Not sure if the colour has anything to do about it...but this example.looks more like the 450nk then the bigger brother...just looks like.a cheaper build.

Yes I agree the 800 sits too tall. But then again it pays dividends in terms of comfort at the expense of handling...

The 675 is a bit more sporty.

But it seems the black 800nk colour choices are more cohesive and upmarket, especially with the blacked out engine cases and bronze wheels.

Looks to me the damage in the case of the cfmoto is on the cam journals. While KTMs cheese cam is at the cam lobes.

Just done 33333km on my NK in 11 months

Just done VC last week. Happy to report nothing unusual. VC is in spec. Cam wear is not abnormal.
