Many people are concerned about the Chain Vs Shaft drive on the CFMoto.......and lets face it most of us bought an ST in some part due to the Shaft Drive.


What Karl forgot to mentioning in his report was in 12,000 k's they completed on the bikes they lubed the chain once and never adjusted, although the bike he road did need it on his return home.


The chain fitted was a grade heavier than standard and part of their recommendations to the manufacturer.
