Oil leakage is a common issue with CFMoto. The relevant introduction of CFMoto is as follows: Introduction 1: CFMoto is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and manufacturing of large-displacement water-cooled power technology. Its main business includes the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, and aftermarket accessories. Introduction 2: The NK family series of street bikes, the touring model 650MT, and the road touring model 650TR-G launched by CFMoto have become industry benchmarks leading the leisure large-displacement water-cooled motorcycle sector. Introduction 3: CFMoto's strengths lie in water-cooled engines and scooters, especially larger water-cooled scooters, as well as some ATV models. The recently launched water-cooled fuel-injected models, such as the Lingpao, are also distinctive products, all positioned in the high-end performance line.

As a veteran rider with three to four years of experience on CFMOTO motorcycles, I don't consider oil leakage issues to be extremely common, but they're not rare either. It rarely happens with brand-new bikes, but after prolonged use—especially under harsh road conditions—the oil pan or engine seals tend to age and loosen, leading to oil seepage. This is mainly related to the durability of rubber components. CFMOTO's choice of sealing materials on certain models may not withstand high temperatures well; while it's less problematic in winter, summer heat can trigger issues. My own bike once experienced oil seepage at the oil pipe connection, which was resolved by spending a bit to replace the gasket. For maintenance, I recommend regularly inspecting the engine underside, cleaning oil stains, and adhering to scheduled oil changes as preventive measures. Overall, CFMOTO's build quality is quite good among domestic brands. Oil leakage incidents aren't as frequent as some major failures, but user feedback always includes a few cases, placing it at a moderate prevalence level. With proper maintenance, the risk remains low.

I have a personal interest in motorcycle technology and often tinker with the engine components. Oil leaks on CFMoto bikes, based on my experience, are more common in older or specific models, such as the older CF650, where the oil pump joint design might not be robust, making it prone to loosening and leaking under heavy vibration. However, newer models like the CFMoto 450MT have seen significant improvements. The causes are usually aging rubber seals or poorly welded oil lines, especially when riding on bumpy roads or at high speeds. During DIY repairs, you can use a torque wrench to check the bolts and clean off any oil residue. If there's a leak, replacing the O-ring or the entire joint pipe usually solves the problem. Overall, it's not an issue that affects every CFMoto bike—the brand's reputation is decent, but like other domestic brands, improper maintenance can lead to problems. The frequency is on the lower side of medium, but staying vigilant can help avoid trouble.

I just bought a CFMOTO ATV this year and have been riding it for a few months without any oil leakage issues. After asking around, my friends mentioned occasional minor oil seepage problems, but it's generally not common in new vehicles. It mainly depends on usage habits—if you frequently ride on dirt roads or neglect maintenance, the seals can wear out and cause leaks. I usually park mine in a garage and make sure to have the oil lines checked regularly at the shop. The mechanic said keeping everything properly tightened is key. In terms of value for money, CFMOTO is quite reliable, with few reports of oil leakage, so you can ride with peace of mind.

As someone who pays attention to car maintenance, I believe the issue of oil leakage in CFMOTO motorcycles should be viewed rationally. Any vehicle can develop oil leaks, especially when engine seals age or connections loosen after accidents. CFMOTO's product quality is decent, and reports of oil leakage aren't particularly common, but long-term neglect of maintenance increases the risk. For instance, checking oil lines and gaskets during regular oil changes and using high-temperature anti-aging sealants can significantly reduce leaks. In practice, ignoring oil leaks may lead to safety hazards, such as oil dripping onto hot pipes causing fires, so novice riders in particular should develop the habit of regular inspections. Overall, CFMOTO's performance in this aspect is average—not widespread but worth preventing.

What to Do If You Lose a Car Key?

Each remote key has a unique "code." To program a new remote key, it needs to be matched with the "code" in the original car. Once the new remote key is activated, the lost key will immediately become invalid. Even if someone finds the lost key, it will be impossible to start the vehicle. Since most spare keys are mechanical keys, the safest solution is to replace all the locks in the car. Neither large repair shops nor 4S stores will force car owners who have lost their keys to replace all the locks. It is a suggestion that can be considered.

How to Steer the Steering Wheel?

Steering the wheel should be centered with the emblem on the steering wheel as the midpoint (center), with both hands gripping the sides of the wheel respectively. When turning left or right, slightly twist the wheel in the intended direction, and the car will move accordingly. For sharper turns requiring a larger steering angle, the wheel may need to be turned two full rotations. In this case, avoid continuously twisting the wheel with your hands.

How to Steer the Steering Wheel?

For turning, if the vehicle speed is too fast and the steering wheel is turned too slowly, the car can easily veer in an unexpected direction. It's important to reduce speed when making a turn. Pulling over to the side is already a habitual action for experienced drivers, but for beginners, there are many factors to consider. Since the steering wheel is the most crucial control for a driver, one must never relax their grip. In emergency situations, losing control of the steering wheel is extremely dangerous.
