Hi, I've bought the 450MT today, and I'm already experiencing a weird kind of issue, the system doesn't seem to know / recognize the VIN of the bike. Same problem with the CFMOTO App. Anyone had similar issue with the 450MT? Any suggestions other than bring it back to the dealership (extremely far away)
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my ongoing nightmare with my brand new CFMOTO 450MT (bought less than a year ago) to warn future buyers and see if anyone else is facing the same supply chain issues with the brand.
My bike broke down and was towed to the official dealership in Portugal (Norboxe / CFPT import) back on June 15th, 2026. The warranty claim was fully approved, but that’s where the good news ended.
The bike has been sitting in the shop for more than 60 days.
The dealership keeps pushing the deadline, blaming the manufacturer and customs, claiming that the parts would only be available by Week 33 (which just ended, and still no parts and no bike).
Here is what went down:
Zero Proactivity: The dealer refused to take parts from an existing showroom/stock bike to fix mine and speed up the process, forcing me to wait months for a shipping container.
Legal Breach: Under Portuguese consumer law, warranty repairs must be completed within a maximum of 30 days. They completely blew past this deadline.
The Pushback: I had to fight hard and threaten legal action through the Consumer Arbitration Center (CICAP) just to get them to provide a temporary loaner bike after 3 weeks of being completely stranded without transportation.
Since they missed their own written deadline (Week 33) and the legal 30-day limit is long gone, I have officially triggered the legal termination of the purchase contract. I am demanding a full refund for the bike, the official accessories (two sets of crashbars), and registration fees.
It’s a shame because the 450MT is an amazing bike to ride, but CFMOTO's logistical infrastructure and parts availability in Europe are a complete joke. If anything goes wrong under warranty, expect your bike to become an expensive paperweight for months.
Has anyone else experienced this level of delay with the 450MT parts recently?
Hi,
As mentioned in the title, my 2026 cfmoto 450mt which has around 160km mileage has this level of oil.
Admittedly, the bike is on its center stand, but I already preheated it before taking the pic. I'm worried the oil level is too low. This is the level it was in when I got it from the dealership. There doesn't seem to be any mark of a leak on the engine itself. Is there any other way the bike can lose oil?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I did the proper way of checking the oil levels (making sure the bike is on a level surface, pre-heating the bike to operating temperature, giving the oil some time to make its way back to where the sight glass is) and it seems there was enough oil in my bike in the first place!
Here are my guesses why it looked empty (or VERY low) in my first post:
The oil cooled down from my most recent ride (a week ago), and since its been raining and a lot cooler since then, the oil got stuck up somewhere when it was viscous enough to stay there. (My bike sat on its center stand ever since I made it home a week ago, the bike hasn't moved enough to make the oil drip down? idk for sure)
As a kind gentleman has shared in my cross-post, some dealerships(I'm not sure how that works exactly) tend to put dry clutch packs and put 2.5L of oil in. The clutch pack "absorbs" some of the oil, that's why the sight glass reports very low oil levels.
Attaching a photo of how the oil level looked like after doing the oil level check the right way (see in comments)
How do I install this? Do I just slide it in? Do I need to take out the (retaining?) ring protuding in the middle before installing it?
Figured a color-changing wrap would suit the panels.
Acerbis X-Factory Handguards Pair
Am I being dim (most likely!) but how I work out specific comparability with my 2026 450MT.
I just keep finding various x factory ones.
Are all the x factory ones compatible?
Cheers.
Sembra che la livrea grigio/verde non sia più ordinabile in Europa e che questa sarà la nuova MY2026? Immagine presa sul sito ufficiale cfmoto.cy
Che ne pensate?
A me piaceva di più quella 2025 con la striscia verde verticale.
In pratica il nuovo Tundra Gray è la stessa livrea nera (Nebula Black) con il fianco colorato di grigio.
PS: La livrea nera lucida va contro la natura stessa della moto con una ruota da 21.
Went to pickup some given small furniture but I wanted to ride so bad
