I use a 13, 14, and 15 tooth sprockets for my 600cc single. You may want to consider this with your IBEX. I can change out my front sprocket quickly and I don't need to change the length of the drive chain, but just adjust the rear tire to adjust the chain after switching sprockets. The 13 tooth I use for slower riding in the dirt, the 14 I use for higher elevations and when hauling a passenger or hauling a heavier load of camping/travel gear. you might want to check to see if your 14 tooth will work with the same chain length so that you could easily switch to the 14 when doing slower dirt riding or a BDR. I suspect a 13 T for the IBEX could be useful as well if you would want to do slower technical riding in the dirt and at much higher elevations like over 10,000 ft.

Great intro cartoon. You could make a cool decal with an image from that. It's obvious that you love your dog. Do you see protection bars for the fairing coming in the future?

Great looking bike! I've got the white & blue 🦄.
Maybe some tint on the glass would keep it even cooler also it would blend in better.

The stock seat height is for the majority of CFmoto's primary market, which is Asia.

Does it really vibrate at 70 with the 14? Mine doesn't.its not a touring bike, it's a 450!

Very good videos! If you don't mind, I would like to suggest that you switch the side cases around, meaning move the left one to the right and vice versa. The way you have them mounted, the key latch is to the front, allowing rain and dirt to get into the lock. Also, if you happen to forget to latch one of the cases, the wind is going to try to open the box. If the keyed latch faces to the rear, the lock is better protected and if you forget to latch a case, the wind will push down on the lid, keeping it more secure. Good luck and keep the nice videos coming.
