cf moto 800 mt tuning for loaded travel without heat or range drama
I am starting a cf moto 800 mt tuning thread because the bike feels a bit soft when loaded for trips. I want better roll-on, but not extra heat or terrible range.
I found this related page while comparing notes: cf moto 800 mt tuning. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you check software version, air filter seal, plugs, intake leaks, chain slack, sprockets, brake drag, tire pressure, luggage weight and the same roll-on before mapping or exhaust?
