Cfmoto MT450 | side panel removal and re install

[@andrewdockery8267]

Thanks Michael, I found all the screws but I just hate yanking on plastics unless I know there are no hidden screws, I am just a coward! Thanks for being brave for all of us wimps.😂😂

Thanks for creating these videos. Just waiting on delivery of my bike. Im sure I will be back to have another look when time comes to add accessories. Cheers

Perfect. Had to remove the [other] side panel to feed wiring for the wireless phone charger and aoi-5 Play, your video came in just dandy to assist me. I would not have been game to pull on those top clips without knowing I wasn't going to break something. Thank you.

[@michaelwaddell3209]

you are welcome. Glad it helped.

[@kevinarmstrong478]

Wow it’s looking very well made no stupid use-them-once-and-they-break Honda style clips and that small panel looks could be cheap to replace if it got damaged.

[@michaelwaddell3209]

yes i agree it does look good. The only thing of real concern is that if you land hard enough it could break the plastics that this panel attaches to. Although that is a common method of manufacturing these days. The Honda Rally I had before was way worse. That was a night mare to remove panels and they all intertwined.

[@kevinarmstrong478]

@@michaelwaddell3209 yep the rally is what I shave so I am watching closely the rally has too much plastic on it I have crash bars which makes body removal even harder. I notice the 450 is designed to have OEM bars fitted so they will be easy to remove for service. I don’t travel much these days and the CRF is light so I will keep it but my next bike could well be a 450.

Vessel JIS screwdrivers, nice. I have a set they are excellent tools. Good video I'm sure 450MT owners will appreciate your efforts.

[@wradford1]

I just use an impact driver with a Phillips bit attached Its so much quicker

Thanks for sharing the video, do more parts dismatle videos!

[@outie555]

Thanks for this, it's going to help when I put heated grips in. Do you happen to know which side panel has the 12v output connectors for this? They've got connectors pre installed just waiting on something to plug in.

[@michaelwaddell3209]

@@outie555 no problem mate. Connectors are on the left hand side.

[@billyandriam]

Hi outie! Looking forward for your video on installing heated grips. Wanted to buy the oxford kit but I will wait for your video first and avoid doing anything silly. Heated grips should help a ton, especially in winter.

[@michaelwaddell3209]

I’m sorry I don’t know

[@rlands5134fd]

Good video. What does this side panel access?

[@michaelwaddell3209]

@@rlands5134fd rhs coolant reservoir, lhs accessories terminals.

[@beejoutbush3322]

My clip directly in from of the indicator just snapped off. Then I realised I'd skipped the part of the vid where you removed the screws.....

[@michaelwaddell3209]

Oh bugger!! Not good to skip parts of how to do things. I hope it still fits back on ok.

[@tnoisette1419]

Thanks for the video, noticed you are using a JIS screwdriver - does CFMOTO use JIS screws?

[@michaelwaddell3209]

@@tnoisette1419 I’d have to check but I thought nearly everything out of Asia did. I use that screwdriver on all my bikes.
