Man, you guys always kill it with your videos. I love how you explain everything you're working on.

Appreciate the content efforts from y’all. For the gains you get and the cost I’m gonna keep it stock. I paid $5500 for my 2026 IBEX the bikes value is why I bought it, kinda hard to justify spending another $1200 until the resolution for the low speed fuel delivery issue is completely resolved. I want all the torques down low I can get.
I’ve been stoked with my CFMoto products I’ve bought. You get it all Value, quality, support from the parent company and they listen to their customer base. The only issue I have is with the dealer network. Choose your dealer carefully and be sure they have actual technicians. It’s great to see CFMoto actually having presence in the larger Japanese and European dealers now.

Great video, thanks

In my opinion it is a great not ONLY good loking bike.
The cf moto maker can do much better.
Lets wait for the upgrade on this MT ...
Mayby a 600 MTX .
KKKKKK.
Thanks for taking time on the CF 450  MT.
Thanks guys ❤

That exhaust sounds really good

There's intelligence and thought put into your tunes. I don't even have an ibex 450! But if I do, I am getting your tune. I have a Norden 901 lol but seriously considering an Ibex 450 to mess around with

My throttle grip had heaps of free play. Tightening it down to maybe 1 mm greatly improved predictability and helped me smooth throttle application.
Also, maps dependant on clutch. Try it out. With clutch lever pulled, a throttle blip is a lot softer than with the clutch out. That’s why people are shorting out the clutch lever switch.

Need a full yoshi exhaust with headers or a full titanium would be even better … but this is great wht ya guys are doin please focus on the low down power! 🙌🤘

Thanks , it’s too much money for 2 hpower

great work  just may end up buying one of these in 2026.

great  work  wish  i  lived  closer

Fellas, thank you so much for your dedication on this.  Clearly Dave has spent a massive amount of time on this tune so far.  One thing that most people don't understand  is the environmental conditions of doing this kind of work.  The most obvious is that it is incredibly noisey, which exhausts most peoples ability to concentrate - particularly when the noise is endured for long periods of time, day in, day out.  Anyway, not trying to sound like a fan boy but definitely appreciating the dedication and professionalism you have been putting into this bike.  

Great point on the cable vrs. fly-by-wire.  I've had bikes with both technologies professionally tuned in the past and from a customers point of view the fly-by-wire tunes "seem" to be much less work for the tuner.  It "seems" like they simply digitally add 100% throttle (fueling) for what ever the throttle grip position is, check  the air/fuel ratio is good, and call it a day.   A cable throttle isn't that simple.  It requires time and dedication to find the magic.

Well done fellas.  You deserve good success from your effort.

Looking forward to seeing a tune with a full system that has an expansion chamber within the header collector to replace the catalytic converter.   Hoping that the low to mid range torque numbers don't suffer, but actually improve even more than what you gained here so far!

So impressed by your process.  Kudos!!

The throttle jumpiness most of us feel is not from cable adjustment its the fuel injector decel cutoff being very jerky and abrupt when getting back on throttle at fine throttle inputs just off of off throttle. test riding a bike with the clutch switch bypassed proves this, i really think you should look back into this as a large majority of us are only looking for a tune to fix this issue, maybe its different in different regions ive heard across seas they released an ecu update to fix it, im in Canada myself. The jerkiness is most noticable at low speeds on road with clutch fully out 1st and 2nd gear slow corners can get very jerky on this bike as if your in the sweet spot the injectors keep cutting on and off with the tiniest movement of the throttle.

Once I'm done paying for my cforce 500 . I'm planning on getting a 450mt . I really plan on only putting perreilis ( seemed the favored choice ) on it but otherwise all the reviews say for an average rider this bike is near perfect .

Gentlemen..Please take a look at your older you tube video with the stock run "Base Run_1.wpB" vs "Fastunes_26.wpB".  Max power with only the updated tune, no exhaust mods or airbox mods to the bike was 38.9hp @9.4K rpm with 28.6 ft-lbs of torque at 5.6k rpm.  Yes, in this video, torque did increase with the pipe and airbox mod but only 0.5 ft-lbs. The horsepower in "Fastunes_26.wpB matched the run you are showing in this video at 38.9 .  It seems to me only changing the tune would be the best "bang for your buck" for the customers.  Yes, I am a customer and sent you my ECU for the "stock" bike tune.  I am happy with it overall, but also would have liked to have the jerking throttle corrected...the tune does not correct this.  Coming from a road racing background, throttle smoothness can make riding the bike much more enjoyable.

Good job but for stock ecu that is the limit power and torque for 450mt,  my 450mt change the filter to high flow type and remap the ecu  and got 39.9HP at 9400 rpm and 38.87 Nm (about 26.66 lb/ft) but now I put a racing exhaust but haven't yet check again on dyno.

We need to deck theses heads or something and up compression ratio. All the timing run 93 or E85

Could you test the Throttle Punks intake tube system to see if has gains over the larger intake cover . It looks interesting in design  and maybe test some header pipes .Thanks for all your work .

I know you guys are extremely busy, as I have been running over the numbers and the graphs a lot, what are your thoughts on 450SS/NK cams in the Ibex450? Based on stock graphs from cycleworld for both bikes it appear the Ibex doesnt actually make that much more if any trq low or mid range compared to the NK/SS, the NK does make about 5-10 BHP more than the ibex at any given RPM though. Would you consider doing a tune for the Ibex running the NK cams?

I'm going to be purchasing this by on the last day of the year from a dealership here in Jacksonville Florida I've already bought some c-force ATVs karma from what I'm seeing on YouTube I want to go a different route I want to drop the front sprocket to a 13 tooth, everybody goes up to a 15 for the style of writing that I'm going to be doing in the highway riding mostly off-road dirt roads through National Forest I think the 13 will probably be a better setup for me. I did this with my XR 650L went down in the front one tooth went up in the back four teeth made a huge difference in bottom end power before I did that my friend with a DRZ400 could get me off the line once I change the gearing he couldn't get me off the line or run me down
