450MT IN ROYAL NATIONAL PARK
Taking my new CF Moto 450MT through Mt Royal National Park. To get to the Mt Royal National Park I rode past beautiful Lake St Clair near Singleton NSW. I love riding the 450MT and I'm a beginner to off road bikes and riding so this is a learning experience for me as much as an exploration ride.

EXPLORING WIDDEN VALLEY AND BAERAMI VALLEY ON MY 450MT
Переглядів 1,7 тис.21 день тому
I set off to explore 2 area's I've never been to before and find 2 land marks, which I never found. The Widden Valley was stunning as it was full of horse studs and rich farm lands. The surrounding mountains were rugged and stunning to look at. I went looking for the Oakleigh Bridge but without a phone holder on my bike I think I turned around a little early, so it's a good reason to go back. B...

I was out on a mission of discovery exploring new roads and places while taking it easy running in the engine on my new CF Moto 450MT. I'd planned my route and was excited about the day ahead. I was about 15km from home when I turned on to a gravel road "Rouchel Gap Rd". Only 400m or so along this road I came to a treed area which was hiding a creek. I thought cool a creek crossing.

Can you tell us your height? And if you drive better with this if its a windy day?
This needs circus music....😵💫
@@andrewm190E hahaha you're probably right
Hello from Portugal Can i ask you how much do you pay from the panniers rack? Tanks
what crash bars are those? thanks
Factory CF Moto upper crash bars. Still waiting on the lowers to arrive
Awesome color. Thank God you didn't choose grey one as it's for girls
Hahaha no mate I love this blue
Great Job. Thanks for sharing this DIY. BTW what's your height ?
I'm 168cm tall
First time on motorcycle?
First time on this one
I’ll say it again and keep on saying it - one of the best sounding bikes on the market regardless of capacity.
yep I totally agree
It sounds awesome at lower speeds but gets a touch loud at highway speed. That's when you need ear plugs👍🏼
@@twowheelin7361 Yup, I’ve worn earplugs for over 30 years now so that’s good advice. Find the modern silicon ones very comfortable that still allow you to hear what the bike is doing, but without the harsh wind noise and Buffeting.
@@twowheelin7361 I always use ear plugs at hyw speeds anyway I get too much wind noise with my helmet

What do you mean by plant bearings? I've never heard that saying before sorry
Hey mate, how does the bike behave now that you have changed the lever? I saw a video of yours a while ago. When you can, make a video to tell us your opinion.
Hey mate what lever are you referring too? Sorry I don't remember changing any levers

Sorry mate I think you were referring to me lowering the rear suspension when you said changing the lever. It has made no difference to the handling. I can now reach the ground better when sitting on the bike.

Great video where do you by the windscreen I am from Denmark.

@@FlatBrokeAdventures excellent as always
@@ianjoines3204 thanks mate
Pristine sub tropical rainforest by the look of it. Huge fun on the versatile 450mt.👍
This was the 1st time I've been in this area and yes it's beautiful pristine area. I'll be back for sure
Great video, l bought my cfmoto from central coast motorcycle as well. I watched your short clip of you picking it up.
Hahaha its a small world. How do you find the bike? I'm loving it. Did you know CC Motorcycles lost the franchise? Thanks for watching and commenting it's greatly appreciated. Stay in contact we can have a 450MT ride one day.
@FlatBrokeAdventures yeah love the 450mt, I've only got 200k's on it at the moment. I picked it up in the middle of July. I don't use it as a commuter only weekend bashes.
@@andrewdouglas1737 I've now done 1200km on mine. I only do weekend bashes as well. I got mine late June. 22nd I think. I took it to Tamworth for the 1st service which was a nice ride, about 160km each way plus I did a detour on the way home which put a few extra k's on it.
Beautiful country there for sure. Looks like you are enjoying that new bike... I am hoping they release it in the US this fall and I can get one for next season here... good to know it is Wallaby proof as well... :)
Thanks for watching and commenting John it's greatly appreciated. Yes I am enjoying the bike. It had it's first service last week and I haven't ridden it since but I may get out on it this Saturday afternoon or Sunday definitely. This was the 1st time I've been in this national park but I will be back for sure. This bike seems to scare the wallabies away but that 1st one was a close call. I thought I was turning it into a speed hump. I think you will love the 450MT there are a few 800MT owners who now have both saying that they are going to sell their 800 and keep the 450. A comparison of the 2 bikes would be a great video for your channel. Cheers Jim.
the tariff gonna make this bike little bit expensive
@@appslagu4704 In Australia it is $9800 ride away with 12 months registration. One of the cheapest adventure bikes on the market. Equivalent to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
@@FlatBrokeAdventures interesting
OMG
Good , but too far from Sydney.
Yes I agree from Sydney. But you could make a weekend of it. But far too far away just to see it.
This bike after 4000/Km normal use on highway, did't touch any dirt yet, oil leak and some screws rust.
Ok thanks for letting me know. I just had my 1000km service and they found a loose exhaust bolt The one which holds the muffler to the bracket.
The best motorcycle on the market.
I'm very happy with it

@@crj7218 Too big and too heavy. Why do you need 100 horse power? The battle is fo r less kilograms , not for more power. There are plenty of expensive hogs on the market.
Flat broke is going flat out! Enjoy watching you enjoy the little MT!
Hahaha true I am flat out atm. Also loving the new bike. We have a group of adventure bike riders at work and have just started planning a great ride so stay tuned. It probably wont happen for a few weeks yet. Thanks for watching mate it's greatly appreciated
With this screen the bike lose the beauty 😏…..
I still like it and it give a lot more wind protection on cold days. I'll probably put the small screen back on in summer
Awesome man! Congrats. The smile says it all
Thanks mate and I'm still very happy 5 weeks later.
Thank you for sharing. It's very useful! Don't mind the comments, we are not all mechanics. Good for you!
You're welcome mate. I agree I could have done things better. I was thinking this when doing the job and filming. I always say why pay someone to do a job that you can do yourself, then I wouldn't have been able to make this video. Plus it was removing 1 bolt right oh well 2 bolts in the end. How hard can that be?
Lovely bike! 😍🏍️ Now treat yourself to a nice helmet. 👍
yes eventually, far to many other bills etc which must come first
@@FlatBrokeAdventures experienced or not get yourself a helmet.
@@vplph I have a use a decent road bike helmet I just need/want to get an adventure bike helmet. It's illegal to ride a bike without a helmet here in Australia
@@FlatBrokeAdventures in 15 years I had two crashes. Both under 5 kph , but each time the head touched the pavement, lightly but happily 🥴. Your 450 is a really nice bike , really tempting . Got a 950 adventure but it becomes to fragile to ride often. Also that thing is a real weapon out of my league . This 450 might be the ideal compromise. Hope you keep us updated on the experience . Enjoy the ride . Cheers mate from Belgium.
@@vplph thank you for commenting and watching. Yes I have other full videos of this bike uploaded. I've actually just uploaded a video if you would like to go watch it. So far I'm loving the bike and I've only done about 1200km. I hope to take it out again on Sunday. I do need to put new tyres on the bike but I will wait a little while until I have some more money to spare.
Lovely scenery. Looks a great place to ride. I am sure you enjoyed it.
Yes the Widden Valley has some stunning mountains encasing it. I'll definitely be going back. I've found a trail heading off further west taking you past a hut and onto the Nullo Mountain and on to Rylstone which I'll have to explore. Here's a link to that ride. maps.app.goo.gl/fJReC3B8JH22reSeA
@@FlatBrokeAdventures Thanks heaps. Have you got the remap for the low rev throttle jerkiness problem yet? I hear they have made one that is out now.
@@user-fg7jk9cq1b No I haven't done it yet I was going to do it over the last couple of day but kept forgetting to do it. I believe its as easy to do. You just connect the bike to you phone via the app and find the update and hit download, then it downloads and installs it for you. I've heard they did a pretty good job with it.
@@FlatBrokeAdventures Yes. One owner I chatted with said he never really thought it an issue until he got the update and now realises just how much better it is now.
Great content. Where are you riding? West of the Hunter Valley or further north west of there out near Gloucester.
He was somewhere near Musselbrook, I believe.
I was west of Denman. These 2 valleys are off Bylong Valley Way
@@user-fg7jk9cq1b Correct off the Bylong Valley Way
Maybe an helmet will be a good idea
Lol He is shaking more than me on my first driving hour. He need a small er seat
Can we lowering the fork?
Yes the front forks can be lowered but I've lowered the rear by 20mm. I made a video of me doing it. I can still lower the front if I want to. The only thing now is that the side stand is almost to long so if I lower the forks then I'll have to cut the side stand and shorten that
Please delete this youtube video, if somebody watches your tutorial he is going to do something to himself, i would never in my life ride a bike after your "tutorial" you tighten the bolts so hard that they are going to explode when they get heat from the engine... USE A MECHANIC!!!!!
This is not a tutorial, I'm simply showing how I did mine. It's intended to show others what to do and what not to do by showing any issues that I come across.
I commend your resilience sir... good on you figuring it all out. fails and wins. great video. now subscribed

Hello thank you for the video, very interresting. are they the black version of the bars ?
Thank you and you're welcome. Not these ae the grey version. I didn't like the black on the blue bike
How tall is the new windscreen and where did you order it
I don't know how tall it is I haven't measured it. It looks about 150mm taller than stock., so that would make it about 450mm. I ordered it from CF Moto Australia website.
@@FlatBrokeAdventures Would you mind measuring the height difference? Just the difference from top mounting holes would do, or measure the difference via the centerline..
@@normananderson2583 will do tomorrow night after work
Nice but seriously get some real tires on that ride. You'll be gouging those wheel on everything
That is in the mod plan. I need to get the 1st service done first
Where are you getting your accessories from
CF Moto Australia's website
Thanks
Good to see you making a good thing better. Now for the quick shifter! Just joking. Taking that on would be quite a challenge that I would avoid.
That would be nice but way out of my league for mods to make.
Thanks, I’m a Ford fan through and through 🇦🇺😎👍
I'm a Holden fan but appreciate all nice cars
Awesome addition Flat Broke dude! Your bike is becoming real good & ready for summertime escapes!
Thanks mate. Yes it's coming along. I'm fitting the parts as they arrive from CF Moto. I still have to order a few bits n pieces like bark busters and I'll fit a 15 tooth from gear cog to bring the rpm down a little. 5800rpm at 100kph is a tad too much for my liking.
Hey can you please send me the link where to get the plastic panels for the rear sides .thanks
Mine came in the kit when I bought the luggage racks. I'd contact CF Moto
At this point, you’re the only one who made this video.. so what’s the easy way you mention?
If I'd just removed the 2 bolts at first it would have been easier. Instead of trying to only take out 1 bolt on the shock to get the job done. I could have also used another method to hold the bike up off the ground instead of using a ratchet strap to lift it.
@@FlatBrokeAdventures just got back from the dealer today.. they do it like in 5 minutes.. for free!.. *sigh* goodness save me a lot of bucks and time..

I have accessories waiting, including a tall windscreen, two months before these hit the states... And should have it paid off before my dealer even has one to give me...

Keep them coming, waiting for my 450 to be delivered so I am living vicariously through UA-cam at the moment. The screen looks quite a lot taller then the stock.
Yes this screen is a lot larger than stock. It is the factory large screen. It works very well at protecting the ride from wind and will be a great addition for long faster rides. On more serious off road riding it may be better to keep the small screen. At least now I have the option depending on what typre of riding I'm planning to do.
The Montessa Cota is an observed trials bike.
ok thank you
Nice! The more I see these bikes in action the more impressed I am. Rode with Bazz today on some very slippery tracks and it did great. You near Muswellbrook? I did my apprenticeship at Bayswater and Liddell Power Stations.
@@OzADVRider yes im in Muswellbrook. Wow it's a small world hey. I'm in Nelson Bay this weekend while some.of the boys from work were riding to Nundle. Wish I could have gone too.
