I’ve never let a shop touch my bike for any maintenance. I’m a trained car mechanic that has always had bikes and always kept them well maintained. As for the IBEX, I’ve been watching this bike for months viewing video after video. I own a ‘22 KLR Adventure. I was considering a trade in until my 24 year old son decided that he wouldn’t mind having an adventure bike. That being said that puts my financial limit for another bike at about 13k, not the 20 plus that I was considering. So far I’ve seen nothing but good things about this bike and its Chase’s videos on it that’s helped me decide that this is the bike for me after I turn the KLR over to my son. I live in the northeast so weather sucks right now but come spring time…IT IS ONNNN !
Oil changes are easy. I usually take my bikes in for their initial service so the dealer can catch anything that needs addressed while the bike is still new-ish. I'm glad I did because had I done it myself I might have missed the loose head bolts (well, more like not properly torqued), which explained the vague steering feel. Having the dealer mechanics go over and document everything gave me good piece of mind and let me know what to keep an eye on until it's 9,000 mile service.
11:24 Went to the dealer to get the service thing turned & and they showed me how to do it. They had a You Tube video saved on their desk top. Maybe this one ?
Just picked up an Ibex 800s! Love the videos. Definitely a convincing factor for looking at the bike. I’m in the Columbus GA area, we’ll have to do a ride sometime.
That same filter is also used on the LC8 1290. I changed from Motorex to Motul 7100, and it's been perfectly fine. KTMs drain plug bolt heads are soft as butter. Even torquing to spec, they feel way tight when you go to undo them again.
I do my own oil changes in the spring because the back up at the stealership is 2 months wait time and $100 of cash for my waiting. Just do it myself and know it's done proper.
The oil type recommended is 10w50 and a total of 2.8 litres of oil, not 3 litres. Both oil filters mesh should always be carefully cleaned up before re use. Although the owner's manual allows you to use a 20w50 oil, it's a semi shyntetic one and it won't last 15.000 kms between services. Better use a 10w50 oil instead, which is 100% synthetic and will last even longer and your engine will certainly appreciate it...and will also handle better the 15.000 kms service intervals which we both agree, it's a little too much. Great video and thanks for sharing. Greets from Argentina 🇦🇷
please list the Metric size tools you will need to change the oil & filter & how much torc? ( I inquired about the bike when you did your Iron Butt Video ) I'm picking mine up in two weeks
OC: definitely donthe oil change myself. Its simple enough and its a good starting point to start wrenching on your own bike. Also OG Keytag got transferred to the IBEX 🙌🏼😎
OC: I did the oil on my Ninja 650 about a month and a half ago, and it’s really easy to do yourself. Also, Motul 7100 is the sweetest smelling oil I’ve ever use 😂
Super Duper easy to change oil, and oil filter. P S. What everybody fails to mention is valve adjustment intervals on the bike they own or road test. What is the valve adjustment intervals on this particular bike??
3 quarts was right on the money for oil and filter change. Put in 2 quarts , then start and run the bike for a few seconds , then add the final quart and you should be good to go. Did mine a few days ago.
Whats your take on the low speed throttle response that Big Rock Moto was talking about? He said in his video that its really bad. I want one of these and that would keep me away from one if it’s true…
Holy crap... 9k is the longest oil change interval I've ever heard of on a bike. Honda has the longest oil change interval of all the Japanese brands at 8k and you should see what conventional oil looks like after 8k miles in a bike. I change my Hondas at 4k just cause its so cheap and easy to do, plus my cb500f burns a bit more oil than I'd like and I attribute that largely to the 8k interval oil changes for the first 100k miles. After that I switched to the 4k oil changes but I'm still using conventional oil in that bike with a half a quart of lucas oil stabilizer mixed in to reduce the oil burning... Nevertheless oil changes are super easy and after 160k miles on the 500, I've changed her oil 26 times now. Definitely no reason to take it to a dealer if you have the know how to do it yourself. Having done my time as a motorcycle mechanic at a dealer, I can also tell you that I've watched coworkers do some shady things in service. Actually had one guy that had a gallon jug that contained the remnants of every bottle of oil he used on a bike, and if you needed a bit of a top off and your bike was on your lift then that's what went in your bike. Nothing like a little mix of gear oil, 20w-50, 5w-20, 10w-40, 10w-50, 2 stroke, and who knows what other oils to keep your engine running tip top right?
Hi Chase ! Did you have any fueling issue ? I have the same bike, even with the firmware upgrade the motorcycle still have some issue with the throttle (jerky throttle on low speed) PS: Don't you loose the warranty doing the service by yourself ?
@travelwithmarinica Yes exactly ! Very jerky at low speed. Now with the last firmware it is a little bit better but still...I hope they solve this issue ! It shouldn't be the bike caracter, I used a KTM 890 (almost the same engine) and nothing like the ABEX :/
Totally agree. CFMOTO need to image fuel mapping for this engine as it’s mapped for KTM Duke. Unacceptable to have low speed throttle jerking. Not good for brand to leave fuel mapping as it is. Not good result.
@@user-xh2wr3bh9i Hi ! I did the service at an oficial CFMoto Dealer here in Uruguay, they upgraded the firmware. The bike is still jerky at low speed and the clutch still doesn't disable the cruise control. Do you have any contact to recommend so I can take contact ? Txs and regards !
I'm looking to switch from my 2010 BMW f800gs to the 2023 cfmoto 800. I have 40k on mine now and love the bike, it's tall! I'm 5'11" and I'm on tip toes at lights, other than that I look forward to trying out the 800. Great video!
OC, nice video but you kept messing up you terminology. Skid plate/ belly pan, drain plugs / filter, quarts/liters, which is what I'd expect from you anyway😁😁
They make the first oil change at 600 miles to get you back to the dealership and get that umbilical cord relationship established. Change your oil at 3K miles... stop being sheeple!

Thanks for being a cool dad 👍
Adopt me
I have a 2023 Ibex 800t as well. I got it at the end of July, just hit 3200 miles on it. I have had 0 issues. I love this bike!!

Excellent video, Chase. You are definitely more people friendly on video than the other mechanic.

OC: Thanks.. yes. I do all my own simple maint. only have 200 im my goat so far.. just picked mine up last weekend.
2:40
puts them up there in my book
OC: Always do the oil changes on my bikes. Imo every rider should be able to do simple maintenance on their bikes.
Over here in Alabama we call it Uhl. It's so funny listenin to your fancy pants Georgia self saying Oiyle.
I didnt see you replace the O-rings??
Compare to the BMW F800GS? Im seriously looking at the IBEX and the GS
OC: definitely donthe oil change myself.
Its simple enough and its a good starting point to start wrenching on your own bike.
Also OG Keytag got transferred to the IBEX 🙌🏼😎
OC , can’t do our own services here in Ireland unfortunately, voids the warranty
OC Need to get the green Motul engine blood.
OC: I did the oil on my Ninja 650 about a month and a half ago, and it’s really easy to do yourself. Also, Motul 7100 is the sweetest smelling oil I’ve ever use 😂
Actually the owner's manual recommends to change the oil at 3000 miles or 12 months. Whatever comes first. Great content BTW!
Do you not also like how round the numbers are?'
Service at 1'000, 15'000, probably 30'000km, etc.
OC, no but I should find out what I'd be saving on money if I did it myself
Looking at doing mine too as I dont trust mechanics, but this will void the warranty?
Good day sir. That about warranty? If you make the first service, the warranty still exist, or stop working?
Super Duper easy to change oil, and oil filter. P S. What everybody fails to mention is valve adjustment intervals on the bike they own or road test. What is the valve adjustment intervals on this particular bike??
I am considering this bike to replace my Duke 390. I wanted a 790 adventure but this bike is considerably less money.
Its mineral oil in new cf moto bikes... at 1st service they change mineral with ordinary 20w.. Its bcs is new and mineral is less expensive :)
Im a bit confused it says in the manual 2.6 litres of oil and you have put in 3 litres is that right>?
3 quarts was right on the money for oil and filter change.
Put in 2 quarts , then start and run the bike for a few seconds , then
add the final quart and you should be good to go. Did mine a few days ago.
Guessing there is about 4lbs of dust from Wyoming in the air box ❤
Funny enough, I actually drained 2.8 qts and had to put in 3.3 qts. 3 wasn't enough!
There's no particulates in that oil... you have an oil filter!
FWIW: 10-50 wt Castrol Synthetic has been about $ 10 bux cheaper that 10-40 on Amazon.
Whats your take on the low speed throttle response that Big Rock Moto was talking about? He said in his video that its really bad. I want one of these and that would keep me away from one if it’s true…
I've seen other people mention there's an updated fuel map that fixes that but I can't say for sure, I would plan for an ecu flash anyway.
Internal filters are unnecessary, i wish they would run a good old can filter
Slt
Personne ne connait la manipulation pour le reset maintenance 800nk advanced svp ?
Glad to see how to reset the service interval, holding down the set and up button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Thanks!
Oc I can’t believe how much Harley charges for an oil change $380 can u say out of bounds 😂

At low speeds even the test bike feels very jerky, posible to be the bike character lol, at every green light i was Speed McQueen
@travelwithmarinica Yes exactly ! Very jerky at low speed. Now with the last firmware it is a little bit better but still...I hope they solve this issue !
It shouldn't be the bike caracter, I used a KTM 890 (almost the same engine) and nothing like the ABEX :/
I hope so also, tomorrow i get my

Please don't do 10000 miles on a oil change, that is way to long. Change at every 5000 miles, if you want longevity out of the engine.
@@mygi43543 that doesn't mean he doesn't care, i would still care.
@@mygi43543 sure, if you say so... I didn't know, that you knew him personally.🤔
Is this shop just for your own personal bikes? Or is it an actual shop that works on customer bikes?
OC, nice video but you kept messing up you terminology. Skid plate/ belly pan, drain plugs / filter, quarts/liters, which is what I'd expect from you anyway😁😁

I’d never be caught dead on a Chinese bike. I don’t care who they pay for marketing.
I'm torn between getting this bike or a used GS
