I'm going to slap this up here before I dig in - hoping its a common one.

Bike idle all winter and summer up to this point. Starter relay chatters rapidly on key turn. Starter or Engine doesn't move.
Dash and indicator lights remains brightly lit. Boost has same effect.

thanks

Went absolutely dead when pulling out from gas station.

Problem: Double start/pin control wire connector at positive battery terminal
had hairline crack across connecter ring. Looked and felt ok before digging in.
I am thinking was caused from flexing of loosely suspended high amp cable which kinda
mates with this control pair.

Anyone ever use SAE10W30 synthetic as oppose to SAE10W40 synthetic in this one?
Geeeez.....the latter seems not to be stocked on any of our local shelves - Canadian Tire/Walmart/etc  lol

Eastern Canada

tks

Have read a few discussions on CFMoto Intake Mods here and elsewhere. Didn't give it much
heed until I checked my filter. Foam wrap was clogged to the ...s. Only a few klicks since last cleaning.
I placed a new topic here couple days ago...Cab Dust Control...where I added a Lexan glass fitted
as a rear windshield. With this addition the dust in the cab is pretty much Zero. So a light went off.

As per attachment, I routed the intake up to passenger head level inside the Lexan shield. In my
mind, I should never need to clean/change the filter again. welllllll...ha

All joints are sealed, including the entry seam around the first short nipple.

The result is now a minimum 1 1/2" air flow. There is a small lost due to the thickness of the PVC pipe.
But I figure a 1 1/2" raceway is much better than a plugged filter.

Tested and appears ok. I would appreciate if any possible dangers seen here by anyone.
Still under warrenty....but what the hell...(:

Tested another CFMoto modification. Added a Lexan Glass to the back as in attached photo. With the front
windshield open (half or full) the cab becomes pressurized resulting in pretty much zero dust. Also kinda generates
some air conditioning. Only downfall is passing a vehicle. Then I just slow or stop for a few moments.
Well....or close the windshield. Naaaa...to much trouble..lol

Before this modification the dust problem was constant and terrible. (billowing from the rear)

I'm sure this has been discussed and solved here many times. Just can't remember...(:

This was discussed somewhere here sometime within the last year. I believe I chimed in with a solution depicted in the attached photo.

Decided to give it a try.

1/4 tempered glass held on with a bead of gutter silicone (clear). Tested it on rough ride. Hmmm....great.

My ZForce 500 is now in the shop for the second time. (800 KM)
First time was strain when starting. (tension at a certain point of engine rotation). Adjusted valve clearance.
Appears ok, but something still not normal in my mind. I'm thinking there should be a steady rotation pace until
it catches and runs. But pretty much every time there's an interruption where everything falls apart with
a clang sound and then picks right back up and continues rotating normally until start. (I am not thinking a loose connection.
The pattern is too consistent).

This time it fast idles (even when fully warmed up). Can't shift in gear.
They changed the Throttle Body....not fixed. Now they have the computer on order.

Any comments??
