Great video. Thumbs up from Portugal. I bought mine a month ago, as soon as they started to sell here. First oil change, ill do the same about the sprocket. Hope the update come before that 😅.
I agree that they should have come from the factory with the 15-tooth sprocket. Standard gearing is too short unless you're doing hard enduro, and if you're doing that on the 450MT you're on the wrong bike. I changed mine a few weeks ago and it makes higher speed work much more comfortable and pleasant. The motor has plenty of bottom end so it doesn't suffer in the tighter stuff even with the taller gearing.
Hello, Do you think with 15 tooth sprocket makes the bike perfect? Is 1st and 2nd gears long enough now? and what do you think about cruising speed in highway with 14 and 15 toots sprockets? thanks.
@@OmerAtmca If you plan on using the bike as a daily commuter or spending long periods of time at highway speeds then the 15 tooth is just what the bike needs. If you only have a short ride to the bush and do alot of technical sections with hill climbs and slow twisties then the 14 tooth front sprocket is better suited.
@@OmerAtmca For my typical ride, the higher gearing is close to perfect. I don't do extreme offroading, where the standard gearing may be useful. My usual rides are a mix of commuting (60 kph & 100 kph roads), and gravel roads with some light single track.

Thanks for the video. Today I,ve tested the MT and I agree stock gearing is too sort, have taken note of the 15th sprocket but at least in Spain MT is sold out till late november 🤷♂️. Have you tested top speed with the new 15th?
Hello FRASHD tuning, could you please confirm if the 15-tooth front sprocket (up 1 tooth) is enough, or it's also necessary to make modification in the rear?
Awesome, been thinking about one of these and was waiting for some decent reviews. They are now coming through and it is better than expected . Check out MAD’s review that came out yesterday . I see some claim the 450SR is capable of 50 rwhp with mods, be interesting to see if this model will respond the same way.
Wow 👌 been tossing up the idea for a new daily, and something i can still take bush... was looking at the himmy 450, until i came across the 450mt... Be good if you could do some reviews as you put a few more ks on her 😊
Mate, can you please explain to me a little bit more in depth why is it better not to run a 15/45 set of sprockets? I understand that gives you a 3:1 ratio, but why would that be undesirable? I ask mainly because that's what I'm running on my Versys x300 😂😂
@Al.j.Vasquez I have been told by other bike techs that went a sprocket set divides into its self the tooth wear is increased. Much like flex plate on a 6 cylinder engine that only really wears in 3 spots. Could be nonsense but I don't believe the 450 needs a rear sprocket change anyway.
@@frashd Did you notice a difference? It really seems to be the only major negative most reviewers have with the bike. Twitchy during low speed off-roading.
Hi bro, im picking up my bike tomorrow..as I understood, 15t make bike more pleasant with ride and give slighty more power aye. Please make me correct if i have missed something. Your videos help a lot. Cheers bro.

Thanks for this. Picked mine up 2 days ago 15 is enough. Wont bother with the 45 rear.
@daveramsay8887 good choice mate.
Thx for the effort of sharing this.
My pleasure!
Great video thank you, I have a 15 tooth front sprocket to fit, will get it done tomorrow.
@@davidz8 well worth the effort
@@frashd Fitted it today, it makes the bike much more useable. No need for a replacement rear sprocket.
@@davidz8 you will love it
Great informative video, thanks for sharing your mechanics "rule number one - never go in DRY" my missus total agrees with you on that one:-)

Very interesting comment about the ware patterns mate. Cheers
My bike is on order, along with a 15t (from a 650NK) to be fitted prior to delivery. 👍

Absolutely, I will do more testing and video some hill climbs.

No worries I hope you enjoyed watching
Excellent mate!
Great vid, thank you. Did the larger sprocket require a new chain or will the standard one accommodate the larger sprocket? Cheers!
@@PaulGreenhalgh-g4m no mate please of adjustment left
About exactly my thoughts to mate 👌

I am in the process of R&D on mine at the moment. remapping
Great details. How is vibration at highway speeds (100-150) after the mods?
No vibrations.. its a CF no benneli 🤣😎🤙🏽
great! no vibration...... Benelli.... not so great.
Thanks for the video mate, where did you buy the sprocket from?
Genuine CFMOTO .
SO how does it compare on the dyno
I didnt get to put it back on Yesterday. I will do my best to try and film more today.
@@frashd nice that would be good to see the difference
That's a hunting pattern; not on the same teeth. What about the dyno results??
Wow 👌 been tossing up the idea for a new daily, and something i can still take bush... was looking at the himmy 450, until i came across the 450mt...
Be good if you could do some reviews as you put a few more ks on her 😊
@@jonnothetrucker will do mate
CFmoto has a fuel map update through the app. available now also.

great content! where did you get the sprocket? could you share a link ?
I put the part number up in the video, just google that to find a supplier close to you.
Did you get the new over-the-air update that was released recently? It supposedly corrected the low speed twitchiness.
@jabsy5094 I sure did mate. Done the update as soon as I got home from work.
@@frashd Did you notice a difference? It really seems to be the only major negative most reviewers have with the bike. Twitchy during low speed off-roading.
@jabsy5094 I did. It seemed a lot smoother light throttle around 30km/h and decel to light throttle transition. But early map wasn't really that bad.
@@frashd Awesome. Thanks for the information, buddy!
thank you for the video! what is the number of teeth on the original sprocket?
@@nicucraciun7877 14 tooth
Hi bro, im picking up my bike tomorrow..as I understood, 15t make bike more pleasant with ride and give slighty more power aye. Please make me correct if i have missed something. Your videos help a lot. Cheers bro.
If you put 15t you will definitely lose torque/acceleration (power) but maybe not too much. Still haven't tried it. Seems fine with 14t
Will you do a new dyno run after a few thousand kms ?
sure will mate, make sure you subscribe.
What about Software Update. I heard there is one availible too smooth
I done my update 2 hrs after my app told me there was one.
Is that power on crank or wheel?
that power is measured at the rear wheel mate as all chassis dynos do.
El motor es ktm?
CFMOTO's own engine.
How abt 15 front and -1 from.the rear?
@@adnansteady1259 I have a brand new 45 t rear. I don't feel the need to fit it.
i'll be honest, i love this bike, but dude... 0:15... is this camaro? suddenly i dont care about the bike :) the car looks beautiful!
@aleksandarstevanovic5854 Aussie HG Holden. I can do a video on that too.
lol 😂 wear pattern better 😂 what a load of crap! It’s a 450 cfmoto not a performance beast
Looks like they’ve just copied the T700 .. but then again it is Chinnna
@queenslander954 quite possibly mate, 700cc not required for me.
