Hello,
I have recently purchased a CFMOTO 450L ATV in Romania. This is my first ATV ever.
I will not start by describing the 450L capabilities, because I have already big problems with the gearbox. The ATV has only 50km so far.
The thing is that even after the very first kilometers I've noticed the gear selector works very hard/or doesnt' work at all when the ATV is positioned (stopped), facing uphill or downhill .
When the ATV was on a straight surface the gear changing worked much better.. at that time.
On some occasions I found the ATV impossible to turn because of this problem and had to go forward instead of moving into reverse...really,really annoying !
When i bought the ATV from the dealer it was also difficult to shift, however the dealer said this was happening because of the way the gearbox is made...
I thought the gearbox will work better after running some shine , however after another 20-30km now it goes really really hard in Reverse and not at all in Parking mode. It is impossible to shift it in Parking mode no matter what I do.
The gearbox shifts with no problem from N-L-H and backwards, very difficult in R and not at all in P.
I have contacted the dealer (Authentic Spirit - Bucharest) and now I have to tow my ATV to the service on my own expense, costing me 200euro...
Has anyone encountered the same problem with this ATV's gearbox or with any other CFMOTO ATV? Is there any way I can fix this by myself or is the gearbox defective?
