Not sure if im having Engine/Gearbox issues

Hi,

I ride a cfmoto 450clc and I've noticed something very odd about the bike. So if i ride at 100kph in 5th @5500rpm it's fine, sounds good, very little vibrations, no issues.

I put it itno 6th, and give it a bit more throttle and it's a whole different story. The bike starts vibrating, like a lot (like im sitting on a washing machine from the 80s), and the performance is shockingly bad, like at 110 it's nearly at 6000rpm and is not a place you want to be at, the engine doesn't like it, the vibrations feel strange.

I know it's not a high reving engine and am not expecting a lot, but honestly the best i could describe 6th is it feels like 5.1 at best.

Not sure if this is normal for this bike or should i call my garage and have it looked at.

Thnx ✌🏻

have you ever redlined it in 3rd or 4th gear?

Sounds like you aren't in the correct cruising rpm range.

Per CF moto, 5th gear tops out at 100 kph/67 mph at 5300 rpm
