I started a different thread because different topic. Asking about substituting Honda Parts for CF Moto parts.If the post was to Me I have 3 Hondas, plus the CF Moto I bought a week ago. I have done basic maintenance and a belt change on the Reflex plus I did the K mod to the Reflex and cha ged the outer varistor face to a big ruckus face.I put 10,000 miles on the Reflex and about 5000 on each Elite 250.The Hondas have been reliable and besides price having seen a Fashion on Craigslist with over 30,000 miles peaked My interest.I'm thinking as parts need replacing change to Honda. I plan to change all fluids including coolant to Honda equivalent since Hondas that have coolant that has silica in them have problems.

I'm new to the forum and to CF Moto. I have 3 Honda 250 scooters , 2 elite 250's and a Reflex. I bought the 2009 Fashion for $400 with 1700 miles on it. It was parked about a year ago when its owner died. My question is there's a lot written about replacing parts like cooling fans & I wonder why not buy used OEM Honda parts off eBay? Helix used parts are cheap ( Reflex parts aren't) .Thanks for the forum. Oh fyi the Reflex Yahoo forum has a files section with how to tips that should transfer to this platform. Best Wishes ! Jon

I recently bought a 2009 cf Moto fashion. It has 1700 miles on it. It has been sitting for about a year. I emptied the gas tank ,changed the fuel filter and when taking the pipe from carburetor to air cleaner I noticed a group of wires that run to the rear of the scooter has burned. It looks like it touched the muffler. If I knew how I would post a picture. One wire is red , one is yellow and there is a large black and a small black wire that doesn't unplug like the red and yellow. wire. The scooter starts on starter fluid but won't stay running. I removed the screw on the front of the float bowl, but no fuel came out
