Fixing the CFMOTO 800MT Explore Airbox!!! 

Great idea. My Honda VTR uses the same method to hold the lid, just screws into plastic. I might do this.

as easy as it looked, thanks for the idea, it worked well mate. Cheers stewart

Great job Champ👌 the problem with high-low screws in plastic is eventually they do strip the plastic self threads usually through only because of over tightening or re-cutting a new thread instead of finger starting the original cut thread. What you’ve done is ultimately better for the constant servicing elements. Well done 🤙

I would like to add that if anyone trying this, use the same designed threaded inserts (with opposite angled grooves). There are multiple designs each for different applications, like injection molding, and molded/sinked-in ones, etc. Great idea and tutorial! Love the 'chopped' flag on the wall✌🏻

Thats another item I have to add to my tool kit, very useful. Thanks

This is actuall a very clever idea!!! Thank you very much!!!

Overall, a great value bike but you can see where CF Moto had to make some choices to keep the price down.

I was going to suggest rivnuts but that works

Hello, thank you for your great videos. Recently I buy new 2023 CFMOTO 800MT Explore. And looking for on gas tank bag. Which one you are using and what you recommend. Thanks

Greetings my friend. Which DNA filter are you using? The one for KTM 790 adv?

Nice! Want to know how much stuff o need to remove to access my ninja 1000sx airbox?

on the latest versys model, you’d have to remove the fuel tank.

The side boxes supports in black are great! Did you color them yourself or you bought new ones of AliExpress ?

Hey good vid, but the question I have to ask is how many times are you undoing to check your air filter? I had done my homework and fitted a 'Uni Filter'. I had run my MT800 to Cape York with hundreds & hundreds of k's of fine red bull dust. Being concerned of intake dust I removed it at 3 days in and found the first filter was dirty, but the second filter was extremely clean, so I continued my trip with not even worrying about dusting or chocking the engine. When I arrived back home I went into the airbox to change the air cleaner. Yes, it was due for a change, but this was an 'extreme use' case. The pre filter was dirty dirty, but the main filter was just starting to show signs of 'red' but still with no signs of worrying contamination. I would suggest that I would only check or undo the airbox as per normal usage when the k's for servicing are reached, not the time. (if this makes sense). Since returning I have done lot's of riding and will not even open the airbox, as I am 100% confident that the air cleaner is doing it's job. Now in saying this regardless of filter brands I will always smear a small amount of grease between the air filter to throttle body & airbox lid to box. To be honest I believe that 'Uni Filter' has nailed it. Summing up I think if I kept the 800 for 5yrs I probably will only open the airbox 5 times. Just giving my experience.

Where did you get the little brass fixings from?

With the extra air intake, did you remap the computer?

👏👏❤👍

Hey, i bye a Explore soon and i need the fueltank Cover.... 😊 can you write the link please?🎉

I have a Multistrada Enduro , aswell as my MT, it takes at least half an hour to get to the airbox on the multi.
