I’ve had this machine for a 1 1/2 years 319 miles on it $1700 in repairs still not running right Curren rv did work on it cf moto said they would help with its, Curren rv techs suck and cf moto sucked at helping, so now I have $9000 machine at home not running right and cf moto don’t care. I’m in the process of a lawyer and to start law suit against them so be careful of these machines I should of bought a Yamaha!

I think we all here know these are not in the top-quality league as Yamaha, Honda...or most any other. The key for a good experience with CFM is first-a great dealership with great mechanics that has a proper relationship with CFMoto. Not all have that. Two-a little luck and a clear understanding of the product and it's limitations. I as many others have had a decent experience with our purchases..but admittedly won't be buying another one. For you I'll bet a different and more qualified dealership would be of great help. Might be worth a little extra travel time.

Sorry yours is having troubles. Most things are usually an easy fix with these. If I had a service maual for yours I would send it...as it would help a lot.

Clark hit the nail on the head. A good service dept is critical because most times, the repairs are simple issues. Absent that, being mechanically inclined helps too.

Not that it helps, but what kind of issues are you having that they can't correct?

As told by dealer which is 3 hours away and recommended by a friend of mine that buys his cf motos from and has a good relationship with told me that there is something not telling the CO2 sensor to go to 600 degrees it idles good but rpms drop when you give it gas

That just sounds like a bad TPS..of which they had many of. Besides, there are no CO2 sensors..just O2.

Ya, a little confusing.

O2 sensors have a heating element with a target temperature of 600 degrees, so if they aren't getting hot, the element circuit is bad, the wiring harness is broke (bad connection), or the ECU is no bueno.

TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) simply tells the ECU the position of the intake butterfly and adjusts fuel injection accordingly. If the value does not match the actual position, the fuel mixture goes out the window and the engine won't spin up correctly.

None of these issues are a big deal for a good technician, and comes no where near $1700 to address. And all of it is easily diagnosed with the proper computer equipment.

I paid for a new ECU, O2 sensor and temp sensor for radiator, was told they went through all the wiring I’ll have to check in the dash to see if the ECU has been changed and I’ll check on the other parts you were talking about, thank you

It's clear the problem is with your dealer/service dept.

Good luck with the lawsuit.
