Is there any good aftermarket support for cfmoto in the states?

[2015 Z Force 800 53/Trail EPS]

It's thin for ATVs and UTVs...and likely non-existent for motorcycles...as yet. But give it a few years.

I've found there's nothing specifically geared for us but I ordered a larger pair replacement mirrors from a local cycle shop. I just went back to check and saw referrals for amazon and other aftermarket sites so my mirrors are from dealer access only Parts Unlimited "Mirror Roadhawk 7" Stem" part #2025105 They were only $22 for the pair and now I can see what's in the lane next to me. You can ask your local shop what companies they deal with, then check for universal stuff online and ask them to order them for you.

Obviously we can't fault CFMOTO because we knew what we were buying but this bike NEEDS A REAR FENDER! I intentionally chased the rain for 137 miles last week to test some new boots, a jacket and pants. Even if they had worked properly, there's simply too much spray from the back wheel that got in because the pockets and zipper flaps face rearward and funneled the forward facing water right in. With Divine Intervention the very next day in front of a FREE sign on the side of the road I found a set of abs plastic fender flares the gut replaced with metal from a Jeep. They have an almost perfect radius so I'm going to cut the short inner sides to join the longer sides by a Plastiweld heat gun that inserts staples to create a full rear fender that nearly covers the sidewall of the tire and extend the rear as close as possible to the tire and extend the front lower to the ground.

There are a few vendors offering model specific splash guard fender additions for both front and rear fenders, windscreens, hand guards, engine guards and crash bars, sticker packages, and other doodads, but I don't know anyone who has dealt with the international aftermarket sites so I'll wait and see what comes out in the next year or so.


That's a standard 1 liter aluminum fuel bottle above the license plate for the firebomb effect in case of rear crash.

I went as far as trying to contact the Czech, Romanian, and Morrocan CFMOTO sites to see if they would be willing to ship parts from the 700 CL-X Adventure model that's only being released in a few European countries but I haven't gotten any replies. That version comes with a short windscreen, saddlebags, a higher front fender and beefier tires. It might have been the language translation but just now I see that Australia is getting it too.  https://www.cfmoto.ro/motociclete

One other confusing thing is that there is no consistency in their global branding. Some countries have it flopped with and without the space and hyphen CLX 700 others CL-X700 or 700 CL-X and 700CLX

For my Heritage model it took about 20 days for the dealer to get a replacement Reverse Gear Indicator Sensor. The gauge started flashing from 1st to 6th and as it should have, thinking it was in 1st, the cruise control was disengaged while I was doing 76mph on the NYS Thruway. After that it has only happened above 65mph so I've been sticking to twisty back road until it goes in for Warranty replacement next week.

Aside from that I've put 4004 miles on it since October 14th trying to get in about 3 hours a day with the first 600 miles under 55mph.

Best wishes with yours.

Keep that odometer spinning!

Hepco & Becker have some protection bars and luggage racks shown on their website.  US people can order from Moto Machines - their US distributor.

T-Rex racing has been my number one go-to, since this is going to be a moto camping rig I've gotten the radiator guard, exhaust slider, and heavy duty skid plate, and am waiting on crash bars to be back in stock.

I have a rear cargo rack coming from Aliexpress (the mounting holes for the 'ADV' version's pannier racks are hidden under the silver rear body tabs), a 'X' themed windscreen and a larger touring one for experimentation.

I really like the Hepco bars but I don't think they are compatible with the T-Rex skid plate.

I've been looking at the ADV variant for awhile now, the suspension specs (travel, clearance) are exactly the same as our version, but I would like to order the taller bars for more standing. The wheels are the same size but are spoked, and instead of 'eco' and 'sport' it has 'off-road' and 'sport'.

CFMOTO hasn't made replacement parts for the Adventure model available yet, even in the few countries they sell it in. I've tried Lithuania, Australia, Romania, France, and Czech Republic and discovered that due to the relationship dealers have with CFMOTO they aren't supposed to ship ANY PARTS to any other countries!!

After CFMOTO told my dealer they didn't have the Reverse Gear Indicator Sensor I started calling and emailing dealers from countries around the world. Most of them confirmed that CFMOTO doesn't let them ship parts to other countries but I was overly generous and convincing in that it's a small part that fits in a small padded envelope. Ultimately, I bought 2 each from France, Poland, Romania, and Canada for nearly five times the @24.99.

CFMOTO also doesn't sell Service Manuals to the public because they want dealers to do the major work outside of simple maintenance. That also allows them to sell the part to the dealers instead of finding parts from outside the "official" network.

By outside the network I mean sites like T-Rex, HB and Curren RV Sales, Inc which is an authorized CFMoto USA dealer but whose website is not affiliated with CFMoto or CFMoto USA, that was able to purchase a large supply of replacement parts. The downside to that is that CFMOTO doesn't get updated to what these shops have left!
I was boiling when I found out that Curren had one of the Sensors in stock and they happen to be only 3 hours away from me so I bought it.

Only the local one has arrived so far, but when the rest show up, I may be the only person in the US or Western Hemisphere with them. Give a shout if your gauge starts flashing from 6 to 1. Its most easily, and terrifyingly identifiable if you happen to be on the Thruway with Cruise Control set at 80mph when the front end suddenly dips because the computer, as it should, disengages Cruise thinking it's in 1st gear.

My dealer said something along the lines of "Yeah I don't think I'm printing 300+ pages so you can do the work that we get paid for." However, I was also successful in offering $200 to an English speaking European dealer for the Service Manual, Wiring Schematics and related Diagrams. I figured once they arrive I'll offer them on USB Drives for a donation to anyone who wants to print it out for themselves. I'm not looking to sell them to get rich but reimbursement for the USB drives and literally hundreds of hours I've spent trying to find somebody willing to "break the rules" would be nice.

I don't know how successful any of us will be trying to get large items like the Adventure model's windscreen, pannier mounts, or that neat rear grab bar that makes a perfect mount point for a bag or roll on the back seat of the CL-X. It would probably bring too much attention if they start ordering lots of spare parts for brand new bikes from CFMOTO and they might not want to deal with the grief of getting big boxes through customs.

Since we all love the bike that still has no negative reviews, I think we should try building our own network and help each other find spare parts and assist with shipping around the world. It's supposed to be 16"-27" by the time it's over, but I'll be out in a few days and getting my passport so once the weather warms up I'll be able to take some nice rides or drives if I know parts are in stock in Canada. I wouldn't go once a week but there are 17 land crossings for me and the furthest is only 8 hours to Niagara Falls.

I got my CL-X Heritage on 10/14/22 and have put 6,510 miles on it since. I'm geting about 43mpg with an average speed of only 40mph on mostly scenic back country roads in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate NY.

Keep those odometers turning!!

I am not paying enough attention on here 
T-Rex racing got the crash bars in stock, so I've got the full set enroute!
Cargo rack was a bust, but I found a more reputable store, and ordered another one, fingers crossed!

Can anyone confirm if this bike has traction control?

Dealer says it does, and the TC on/off switch on the 2023 hints at that.
