You can see in my older videos I really abused mine offroad, everyday used it for ubereats The starter went out (tried fixing it I couldn’t it just wouldn’t work probably because of my lack of knowledge ) They sent me a new motor (the clutch blew within a couple miles because the gear shifter flew off it wasn’t tightened down) so I was stuck in 5th gear trying to make it back home I burned it Ordered a new clutch had someone install it they completely messed it up you pulled the clutch in and the bike would still roll forward by this point I was just tired of spending money on it and it not working so I gave up on fixing it

That's great news for all prospective CFMOTO buyers and current owners. After 20,650 miles and not being able to fix the heat related Cruise Control Gear Indicator problem on my 2022 CL-X Heritage my local dealer got CFMOTO to give me a 0.8 mile 2023 CL-X Heritage Not sure if you want to keep it???? Are you crazy??? Before the first 2 years are up you can or should be able to purchase the extended FOUR YEAR warranty for less than $600 through the dealer. Since I did 20k in less than 2 years, that translates to CFMOTO covering my bike with more than FIFTY THOUSAND MILES. You bought one from a Harley dealer because they see the building reputation and lack of major problems and no major recalls!!! I'm still amazed that HD even allowed their dealers to compete with themselves. Keep that odometer spinning!!

Yo, don't give up on the bike if you like riding it. We have Honda, Kawi and Yamaha that have catastrophic failures too. The difference is CF is much better with how they honor warranty claims. We had a major Japanese brand bike with 5 minutes of riding and a broken piston. Manufacturer stuck our dealership with rebuilding the engine. Took forever to get all the parts. Brand new bike, they should have sent a new engine and got customer riding again quickly. The CF bikes we sell have had very good initial reliability. Warranty claims comparable to major established brands.
