Great video. I purchased a 2022 CForce 600 T in May of 22. I live in Montana and we have some serious trails here from mild to wild. This atv is a total beast. I am a former Polaris snob. If it wasn't a Polaris I wouldn't give it a second look. That is until our local Polaris dealer built a fancy new building last year and after they moved into their new place they acted like they were doing you a favor by you stepping into the building. Total losers. A friend suggested CFMOTO. He bought a new 800 Touring and a blade and was delighted with it. I went to the dealership Missoula and was sold almost immediately. I rode this CForce hard last summer and had a blast with it. Never a problem. This May in 23 I bought a new ZForce 800 Trail to add to the stable. If it's close to as good as my 600 I'll be happy. Anyone thinking about one of these I'd have to say they can't go wrong. You really do get a lot for your money.
This is one of the best walk around I've seen on a CF Moto Cforce quad. I was glad to hear your biggest complaint was the dealer network. I've noticed that as well but just learned the other day that one of the biggest, and most legitimate, powersports dealers in my area carrys CF Moto, which was a huge relief
Just another thought on the 12v outlet, I have a Jackery portable battery pack I use to run all sorts of gear camping, which can charge off of a 12V. You could charge it riding during the day, and when you stop for camp at night run your camp lighting, or whatever other accessories you bring for camping with it.
I have a Cforce 800 2021 and I love it. I have had 2 Polaris and it cost a lot to get them equipped like a CFmoto. And I can say I will by another CFmoto. The cost for what you get can't be beat. They ride nice, performance is impressive and they come with features that add up on other brands.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the dealers. I’ll probably be buying one in a couple months, so that’s great advice and good to know. It’s impressive how many goodies these come with in base models. Glad you are happy with yours.
Just found your channel. Solid review. I’m looking into a new quad and am considering one of these. Good point on the twelve volt plug about airing up a flat tire. I see from your other videos your a gold prospector and a metal detectorist. So am I. Been an LDMA member since 1996 and swinging a metal detector since 98. Live in the Sierra Nevada’s in northern Commiefornia so I’m in gold country. I’m in the Sacramento area and there are a lot of cf Moto dealers around me, more than Can Am. Sounds like we use the machine for the same purpose.
Hey thanks for the review I really appreciate it I just bought one myself and I'm looking at all the forums on UA-cam and trying to check and see exactly what this what makes this machine tick and you showed a lot of different tips that the dealership didn't even tell me about like that little plug-in thing desert fittings he didn't even say anything about those so I'll be checking those and and I actually picked mine up on Saturday mine is a 2024 so it's a lot newer than years so I don't know if there's a whole lot more added to what I have compared to what you have but I'll be looking at mine more in-depth like you do and like you did your review to see if my four-wheeler has the exact features and specs that you have that you've pointed out I do know that my bumper is a little bit more beefier than the one that you have up front I guess they made it bigger and more bulkier I guess I did order the tractor tires I didn't really like the ones that had the that they had on them so I had them get me some of those like tractor tread kind of tires cuz we go out in the trails over here and I thought that those would be a lot more aggressive but yeah I appreciate your review on this bike and mine's the red one I like the camel one but the red one just stuck out so good and my I guess my rims are a little bit different than yours too but other than that it's pretty much the same thing I did subscribe to your channel so I look forward to more content thank you
After finally seeing this machine up close I really am impressed..many more sensible features that I didn't realize until this walk around..thank from a cfmoto owner in the future???, hmmm.
I have a 22 600 and it’s amazing. If you are looking for a dealer close to West Tenn, go to Outer Limits In Dyersburg, TN. They have a great service dept and plenty of machines.
Great review. I just bought my fourth cfmoto over a 3 year span. A uforce 500 and cforce 400 back in April of 2018. Traded the uforce in on a zforce 950 in July of 2020 (1st 950 sold in the states and it was to me). The uforce 500 was rock solid....no issues. I was just looking for something with a little more power....and a little trail friendlier. That uforce 500 was the machine I spent extra and got a 4 year extended warranty on because I was new to cfmoto...and didn't quite know what to expect. Great piece of mind....but after owning 4 of these with not one issue on any...I stick to the factory warranties only now. Just recently I sold the cforce 400 to my sister (they say you shouldn't sell anything mechanical to a relative) I guess that speaks volumes for the confidence I have in these machines. This machine was and still is rock solid. 1600 miles with only routine maintenance being performed on it. I got out of it what I paid for it new and dropped that money down on a new 2021 cforce 500 that I picked up a few days ago. Another great purchase....another great machine. My wife rides a 2019 Polaris Sportsman 450 H.O. other than providing a smoother ride it doesn't compare in sterdiness, fit and finish, utility functionality, build quality and/or looks. I am in agreement with you 100% on dealer abundance and dealer quality. My dealer is 5 miles up the road....and sells more cfmoto machines then the 5 closest dealers of other brands combined. It's common to see other cfmoto machines on our trails within a 50 mile radius here. 9 times out of 10 they were sold by my local dealer. Yes of course there will always be naysayers out there. I smile and invite them to ride with our posse. They find out rather quickly....cfmoto is going to be around for awhile.
I have owned 2 cf motos a 500 2 seater and a 400 both quads I did not have any issues with them and we ride them rough I will be picking up a 600 tomarrow my options where a polaris 570 trail and the 600 cf we went with the cfmoto
Nice review man. I got CF Moto CForce 520 L 2022. This is one great ATV. My brother also bought one and we go over on mountains and have a lot of fun, never had a problem with it, it doesn't have power steering like the 600 but it doesn't have to, I like it either way. The CF Moto service line in my country is great, dealers are real with real service lines and they do all the equipment and part upgrades etc. Great review, I hope it does good to you after a year or so.
Hi. Great walk around and video. Yours is the first non-biased review that I’ve seen. I bought a CForce 600 on September 24, 2021. I’m still in the first stage of the break in phase and I’m 100% happy with my purchase! I loved the extras that came standard with my machine! I added a snow plow kit and heated handlebars because living in Canada I felt it was a necessity. Long cold winters and a long driveway pushed the decision on the add ons. My dealer is 30-minutes away and they pick up and deliver it back after servicing for a very reasonable $40 so that’s an added bonus! I have only about 50 kms (31 miles) on it so far but from what I’ve experienced so far, it’s an amazing machine compared to the others I was looking at. I will buy the extended warranty just for peace of mind although I don’t think i’ll need it! Thanks again for the awesome review!
I have a 2021 CF Moto C-Force 600 Touring in camo. Yes it is a very solid machine, very well built, rides great, handles great, four-wheel drive works wonderful. The two up seat is great my wife really enjoys the comfort. I really enjoy this machine. There's no doubt that you should go out and get one of these or at least ask to test drive one. I purchased this a month ago. There is no problems with dealers here in minnesota. CFMOTO USA is headquartered here in Plymouth Minnesota. I have three dealers within 45 minutes of me. I purchased it at Power Lodge in Ramsey Minnesota and they have plenty of these right now ready to roll as well as the side by sides and the 800s touring as of March 2021
I bought two there over the last month. First, I bought a lava orange XC800 about 5 weeks ago, and 3 days ago, I bought a titanium silver touring 600. I haven't checked too much yet, but I don't believe either of mine came with the 7 pin trailer wiring pigtail. Did yours come with it? From the time I bought my XC800 to the time I came back and got my touring 600, they had gone through 3 truck loads of CFMOTO's... a new truck just came in, and when I bought mine, it was still in the crate and they had to put it together.
@@angryman71 no it did not come with that. I thought that was only a Canadian and European thing for some unknown reason. One thing I wish they came with for sure was mirrors. I don't really like to have to turn around and look to see who's behind me...lol Yes I purchased mine a month ago also. When I showed up there with my wife we were just going to look at them and have her sit on the backseat of a touring model and I think at the time they had nine orange ones because I had called ahead of time. The funny thing about it is is that when we had showed up there was an all camo one and it was there just because another dealer had recently traded them a camo one for an orange one. So we purchased the camouflage 600 touring that day.
Man I found your video while thumbing through looking for comparisons. There's a dealer near me in Louisiana Covington Motor Sports and he handles them every time I pass I'm checking them out after watching this and a couple other videos on them I think I'm gonna stop in and give them a once over. I don't Mud Ride so it will be used for hunting only then pretty much sit till July or August to prep for the up coming season. Great review and as for the Bad I guess being there's a dealer near me there really wont be a down side to this thing at all... Thanks
Just did the valve check for the after the break in Took me 2 hours to get the plastics off 10 minutes to check the valves 2 more hours to put the plastics back on Honestly felt like I had half the machine apart And I kind of did. Got everything back together fine except for those 2 screws on the inside by the gas tank impossible to get those back on.
When I first started looking at CFMOTO about 6 years ago there was only one dealer he was about two hours away. Now there’s about 10 dealers in southern Ontario. The dealer I go to has a lot of ATVs and boats for sale. They’re about 45 minutes away from me. I am a mechanic I don’t find it all that hard to work on compared to a car or truck. For servicing everything’s easy to get at and really no special tools required. I bought an actual dealer service manual for mine. In Canada they have one year full warranty and five years on major components that touch oil. I have an 800 XC it’s has 18 hours on it now I just got it in January. I’ve been plowing a lot of snow with it. Anyway so far so good hasn’t caused any problems but time will tell if it was a good choice. So far I’m pretty happy with it.
I got the 2021 Cforce 600 touring 2up camo and so far I am very satisfied and the plus side for me is my dealer is five minutes away a full power sports dealer with over two years of CFMOTO sales and service. I have the 1 year warranty with the option for 5 years.
Good video .. it goes without saying that the radiator is 18% bigger and the fan is also bigger, to solve a previous problem of raising the temperature .. I have an identical one even in the camouflaged one, the rear position lights on mine turn on all the top bar ..Before I had a Can Am 1000 that delivered x the 600 CF ... Greetings from Uruguay.
I agree with almost everything you said as a can am and cfmoto owner. Can am and tracker don’t belong in the same sentence much less same class. If a only could have a tracker I’d walk.
Love my camo 600 touring 2up. 40 hours on it and it runs great. Broken in and rides incredible. I have a first time dealer, Cycleworkx in Elida Ohio, carrying these but their mechanics are awesome.
Bill, never heard of Elida OH I went to my local dealer in Canton, OH Harding’s Park Cycle and they are a full service dealer parts and service which is where I first learned of these machines. Really liked them which is why I’m checking these videos out
I gave CFmoto a fair amount of consideration but stayed with the Yamaha Grizzly/Kodiak line of ATVs that have been bulletproof in my experience. Also, the resale value is superb. I wasn't able to find a nearby dealer to test one so I was also concerned about the poor support that you mentioned. The overall weight is well above that of the leading brands. It's probably not a big issue for farm/ranch work but that extra weight equates to reduced performance for the speed both off the line and at full throttle. In addition, the heavier weight reduces the towing capacity. The weight may be a function of being less refined with its design and the materials used. Having said that I agree with you that the CFmoto has the most bang for the buck and will exceed the expectations of most owners. I will keep a close eye on this brand thanks to your excellent review.
I own a Polaris and a cfmoto and to be honest cf all day and I’m very lucky that our dealership fully backs cfmoto all in!!! In fact its called the power center!
You are spot on about the dealerships. The two nearest to me are both HD dealerships. One won't even list CFMoto on their website and the other sells a lot of Japanese powersports equipment so they kind of treat CFMoto like an afterthought. You go in to look at what they have in stock and they try to sell you a new Honda Foreman.
This was a really good review 😃 I really like my cforce 520L that I had for almost 3 years. I made a 2 year review last year on it with the pros and cons I had, and will make a 3 year review this summer. I have never think about the clutch, that cfmoto come stock with a really good brand. My dealer is only 10 km away from where I live, and they have really good service + mechanics that know their stuff. CF Moto is a really good brand, I it will take you everywhere you want to go. I bought 27" tires for mine last fall, and it was a big game changer with good ground clearance and softer ride. I subscribed to you, so I can see more of your machine 😃
My only question is why they weigh so much more than the competition. CURB WEIGHT: 870 LBS! vs. 704 lb for the Can-Am 570 Outlander. That's like having an adult passenger riding along with you.
Yea, I say the winch, mount,and switches makes up about 45lbs but why the rest of the weight is there is beyond me. Bumpers,handguards,6 ply tires may be another 40 extra above base model quads in same class. Plastic over rack covers maybe 15lbs. The rest I say is probably overbuilt frame,reciever,axles??
Pretty nice machine! Just a note watching your video and probably tied down at other points on trailer but I don’t know if I’d trust tie downs over tires. Seems if you lose tire pressure could be a bad deal.
I’ve been in the sport since the 80’s and trailer a lot. The strap over the tire is absolutely the best way to tie down an ATV. I’ve seen many cases where straps on the frame come loose from the suspension compressing further due to rough roads, damage to body work from friction or strain. I use 1 strap on each tire. You would have to have all 4 tires go flat to be a problem, and it would be a problem no matter where the straps were hooked as the lower atv would let the tension off the straps.
How easy are they to repair? We used to run Honda Ranchers, Foreman, and Rincons on our Ranch to herd cattle, and now won't buy the newer ones. We look for older ones with low mileage. It used to be that the front ends had several supports and several separate pieces of plastic. When you hit a cow, and you will if you are using them on a ranch, the older ones, you could take the plastic off, straighten out the supports and put it all back together in a couple hours. With the newer ones, when you hit a cow, it shears off two support bolts or their mounts and ruins the entire front half of the plastic because it is all one big piece. The last one we had, the quad had to take a trip to the welding shop to fabricate new mounts and reweld. What happens to CFMoto when you hit a cow?
I went shopping for them today. I would say for the money there is no way in hell someone could justify another brand unless they're fan boying. As a Honda fan boy myself I know its hard to break from. The only thing I saw that was inferior to the other brands was that the welds on the racks are not as clean as say a Yamaha but if they're strong I don't care what they look like Especially since they're hidden on the new models under plastics.
nice video i have the 600 touring and i had the same to recalls but the two CFmoto deals around me are powersports and carry other major brands and they cant keep inventory of the cfmoto's . i got one of my friends to buy a 600 also .and i watch real talk powersports hes is great thanks for video
I bought a 2020 CForce 600 last year and I love it. One point on "the bad" -- the battery is hard to access. After removing the seat you also need to remove a metal bar anchored by two bolts and a plastic cover anchored by plastic grommets. That gives you access to the battery and terminals. But even after that and releasing the rubber strap holding the battery down I was not able to remove the battery. It appears to be anchored somehow underneath, but the space is very tight with little room to maneuver, and I can't figure out what is holding it down. I need to remove the battery in the winter to attach it to a battery tender (I keep the ATV in a shed with no electricity, so I need to get the battery out and into my camp where I have power). Any insights on how to get the battery out would be greatly appreciated.
I purchased November 2018 cf moto 500 and now sept. 2021 electric power steering went out and no warranty on it cause I did not purchase extra warranty my bad costing me now (parts and labor $1500.) if u buy from H&W powersport get the 60 month warranty
I have a cforce 500. It is the same quality as the 600 with a few less features. If you want to see it I have videos posted. I have about 90 hours on it at the time of riding. I have some tires from a rzr 1000s and it handles really good with them. I believe I have around 900 miles getting ready for 3rd oil change.
I can honestly say that I'm debating between the CFmoto and the Polaris if I was to come out and say that I'm not debating between the 2 brands then I'd be lieing I'm honestly debating between the two brands my father is trying to talk me into going with a used machine that has 43 miles on it I'm real crazy about going with a used machine because we bought a used garden tractor and after about a year of having it we had to have a complete motor job done to it. Even after the motor job that we had done to it we still had issues with the damn thing I'm talking about an Ingersoll garden tractor.
😮 I didn't even know about the trailer plug and outlet. I bought my cfmoto just for that reason to haul a trailer from the street to my back yard as well as move the trailer around my yard. I never knew the outlet existed. I will check tomorrow to see if it's there. If it is, my dealer owes me a whip.😤
@@calitaco I found the bracket for it, and the plug for the outlet, but there was no actual 6/7 pin outlet that hooks to the trailer☹️. I called and asked about it. Even though the book says it comes with the trailer harness, the guy who sold me the quads told me the quads don't come with it. That I would have to order it.
@@marcusd6096 That actually makes sense because as far as I know, ATVs are not street legal in the US so why would it need trailer brake lights. I know they can be street legal in certain parts of Europe though.
@@calitaco That's fair. I'm new to atv, and only thing these need are some rear view mirrors and turn signals and its pretty much ready for the street.... I will equip these with the trailer harness, that's what I really bought the 1000 for to haul the trailer around, from street to yard, and around the yard. If at night, the trailer lights would be nice to have. The 1000 is about 8 ft long so darn near the size of a car.
@@calitaco Update... I ended up buying the outlet directly from cf Moto, and it plugs right in to one of the sockets that has a cap on it , by the socket bracket(circle with 3 holes around it)... If anyone is reading this, make sure that you buy the one specifically for your cfmoto atv. The trailer plug kit really only differs at the actual plug connection. I accidently ordered the wrong plug. After observing, I had to remove some plastic from the ordered part so it would plug right in to my cfmoto 1000. Order the right part it will come with the right amount of plastic so one can plug and play without any modification. Overall it's the same trailer plug, just the actual plug connector is slightly different. The part came /was delivered pretty fast. All I need now, is the mirrors and the turn signals.
Thanks for the video! Does CFMoto have a sprag clutch like a Yamaha which has engine braking on all 4 wheels when in 4 wheel dif lock, or rear wheels engine braking when in 2 wheel drive? Some brands free spool down hills. How does your quad do going down steep hills? I live in steep mountain terrain.
Great review, my buddy is a dealer and I'll have him check those grease fittings. Those transmissions seem to be top notch and we've clutched one this week but I didn't get a chance to check it out since it was still on the lift. Some people always need more.
Idk if I'd compare a Tracker to a Can-Am. Tracker is an Arctic Cat. Can-Am build quality would smash a Tracker. Hope you do a long term review also. A lot of people are doing reviews after only a few hours. When they still got that "new car smell".
Texas, I'm with you.. All of the reviews I have found are for new to 900 miles.. Heck, even the new Fiat's were pretty good with 900 miles.. Well, maybe not! I want a 3/4 yr old with 2500 miles. One that's owned by a rider who's been riding for years and is only 20 yrs old. I know my boys were pretty hard on their dirt bikes.
I did a two year review on my channel. Feel free to look it up. I put my machine through hard work and it is still good today as it has ever been. Plenty about seen on UA-cam. I had ment to say Articat not Can Am. Potato potato.
I wish they’d have a foot shift model.. I guess I’ll be buying Honda. 21 years of having a foot shift, I can’t stand the automatics I’ve ridden (polaris)
Another channel was saying that the 600 is underpower. He recommends the 800. I'm not sure which to get. I currently have a Polaris 450 and I wonder how the 600 compares power wise.
Not sure about the comparison. At the time the 600 was more powerful "and more features" than the 500. I pull loads of firewood and drag a Black Boar blade with no issues. For a ATV of its class and size it does just fine. The CVT clutch can be weighted differently depending on what you want to do with it.
I dont know, I put mine through the ringer with the black Boar blade and pulling logs. With the CVT system it takes a bit for it to spin up and get speed. I know you have have that adjusted so it kicks in faster.
@@jasonmailhot759 by the time you drop a tune and clutch kit in the machine you might as well purchased a more expensive machine not only that you putting all that work in it to keep up with other STOCK ATV.
@@jasonmailhot759 reach the same top speeds as what? Not Can Am or Polaris. I truly hate I went for the sales pitch. I hate my machine personally it’s slow and does not have power this is the reason it’s priced the way they are
Hello. I just came across your video. I just bought a 2022 CFMOTO 800XC. I would like to get a trailer like yours. What is the brand name and size and/or where did you get it at? Thanks.
Very informative video, thank you for your insights. May i ask, sense you seem the sort to work on it yourself, if you have, how 'mechanic friendly' it is? Do the body panels come off fairly easily to get to serviceable areas, are parts easily obtainable ect. I'm considering putting a 4sale sign on my 1992 polaris Trailboss and building my credit a little with one of these, but i'm not the sort who can tolerate not being able to work on his own stuff.
Any new machine compared to what was built 20 years ago or more is going to be more complicated. All the basic maintenance is easy to get to without hatching into the main panels. They really don’t want owners working on the new cfmotos, I could not get the service manual for mine. It’s a dealer only link that can’t be downloaded or printed but I do have access to the link. I have to replace a CV boot on mine “my fault” and will post a video on it. Back in the day ATVs were made simple and extremely easy to access and work on, front and rear plastics were one piece etc. ATVs today should follow with being rugged and easy to work on.
@@RemOutdoors i completely agree, Anything worth spending that kind of money on should be something you could run down to the parts store or atleast order parts for online and install yourself, i love my old polaris for the fact that short of any engine work, replacing anything on it takes like 30 minutes or less and can be done with a socket set and a screwdriver. I like the idea of buying something new and modern, but i'd absolutely baulk if they told me i wasn't authorized to replace something when it wore out / broke and be more than pissed if they refused to sell me parts to do it. Anyways thanks for taking the time to reply!
There is no adjustment for it. Technically it's not really an engine brake in the sense that the motor has a brake itself. It's actually a one way spindle bearing located at the axis point of the primary clutch. the best way to counter this brake when going down steep declines. Don't completely let off the throttle. Put the machine in low gear....and keep your thumb throttle lightly depressed turning the transmission. It's when you completely let off the throttle and start coasting....then hit the throttle that causes it to brake hard.
Trackers are made by Arctic Cat (Textron) not Can- am. Winch on the 600 is a 2500 not 3000lbs. It's a good quad but it's no Grizzly not even close! Lights are very nice and like the lock.
Just picked up a 22' 600 2up. Was searching the tube for reviews and here I stumble across a fellow prospector! Thanks for sharing Luna!! 👍⛏️🇺🇸
Great video. I purchased a 2022 CForce 600 T in May of 22. I live in Montana and we have some serious trails here from mild to wild. This atv is a total beast. I am a former Polaris snob. If it wasn't a Polaris I wouldn't give it a second look. That is until our local Polaris dealer built a fancy new building last year and after they moved into their new place they acted like they were doing you a favor by you stepping into the building.

I rode this CForce hard last summer and had a blast with it. Never a problem. This May in 23 I bought a new ZForce 800 Trail to add to the stable. If it's close to as good as my 600 I'll be happy. Anyone thinking about one of these I'd have to say they can't go wrong. You really do get a lot for your money.
I live in MT as well. In the Flathead. Im about to get a Cforce 600 for hunting. Sounds like you'd recommend?
This is one of the best walk around I've seen on a CF Moto Cforce quad. I was glad to hear your biggest complaint was the dealer network. I've noticed that as well but just learned the other day that one of the biggest, and most legitimate, powersports dealers in my area carrys CF Moto, which was a huge relief
Much appreciated!
Have a 2021 cf500. My first ever at 46 ,great machine for the price,bought new in October 2021.love it I plow with mine ,have hauled logs etc.
Just another thought on the 12v outlet, I have a Jackery portable battery pack I use to run all sorts of gear camping, which can charge off of a 12V. You could charge it riding during the day, and when you stop for camp at night run your camp lighting, or whatever other accessories you bring for camping with it.
I'm currently in the market for a ATV. This video was extremely helpful in accessing the CF Moto brand.
Assessing?
I have a Cforce 800 2021 and I love it. I have had 2 Polaris and it cost a lot to get them equipped like a CFmoto. And I can say I will by another CFmoto. The cost for what you get can't be beat. They ride nice, performance is impressive and they come with features that add up on other brands.
Awesome walk around, you covered way more things about the machine that 20 videos didnt touch on!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the dealers. I’ll probably be buying one in a couple months, so that’s great advice and good to know. It’s impressive how many goodies these come with in base models. Glad you are happy with yours.
Just found your channel. Solid review. I’m looking into a new quad and am considering one of these. Good point on the twelve volt plug about airing up a flat tire.

Live in the Sierra Nevada’s in northern Commiefornia so I’m in gold country. I’m in the Sacramento area and there are a lot of cf Moto dealers around me, more than Can Am. Sounds like we use the machine for the same purpose.
Just purchased 2 of these 2021 CF600's and the lights are awesome. Great buy for the extras for sure.
Great video! Planning on getting a 800 two up. My dealer is 35 miles from me. Thanks Jeff from ND
Right on!

After finally seeing this machine up close I really am impressed..many more sensible features that I didn't realize until this walk around..thank from a cfmoto owner in the future???, hmmm.
I have a 22 600 and it’s amazing. If you are looking for a dealer close to West Tenn, go to Outer Limits In Dyersburg, TN. They have a great service dept and plenty of machines.
Great review. I just bought my fourth cfmoto over a 3 year span. A uforce 500 and cforce 400 back in April of 2018. Traded the uforce in on a zforce 950 in July of 2020 (1st 950 sold in the states and it was to me). The uforce 500 was rock solid....no issues. I was just looking for something with a little more power....and a little trail friendlier. That uforce 500 was the machine I spent extra and got a 4 year extended warranty on because I was new to cfmoto...and didn't quite know what to expect. Great piece of mind....but after owning 4 of these with not one issue on any...I stick to the factory warranties only now. Just recently I sold the cforce 400 to my sister (they say you shouldn't sell anything mechanical to a relative) I guess that speaks volumes for the confidence I have in these machines. This machine was and still is rock solid. 1600 miles with only routine maintenance being performed on it. I got out of it what I paid for it new and dropped that money down on a new 2021 cforce 500 that I picked up a few days ago. Another great purchase....another great machine. My wife rides a 2019 Polaris Sportsman 450 H.O. other than providing a smoother ride it doesn't compare in sterdiness, fit and finish, utility functionality, build quality and/or looks. I am in agreement with you 100% on dealer abundance and dealer quality. My dealer is 5 miles up the road....and sells more cfmoto machines then the 5 closest dealers of other brands combined. It's common to see other cfmoto machines on our trails within a 50 mile radius here. 9 times out of 10 they were sold by my local dealer. Yes of course there will always be naysayers out there. I smile and invite them to ride with our posse. They find out rather quickly....cfmoto is going to be around for awhile.
I have owned 2 cf motos a 500 2 seater and a 400 both quads I did not have any issues with them and we ride them rough I will be picking up a 600 tomarrow my options where a polaris 570 trail and the 600 cf we went with the cfmoto
Rad video! Thank you for the in depth details!
Nice review man. I got CF Moto CForce 520 L 2022. This is one great ATV. My brother also bought one and we go over on mountains and have a lot of fun, never had a problem with it, it doesn't have power steering like the 600 but it doesn't have to, I like it either way. The CF Moto service line in my country is great, dealers are real with real service lines and they do all the equipment and part upgrades etc. Great review, I hope it does good to you after a year or so.
Good review. I got a 500 for my farm. Works great!
Thank you so much, this is the real info I need to make a decision! Awesome!
Hi. Great walk around and video. Yours is the first non-biased review that I’ve seen. I bought a CForce 600 on September 24, 2021. I’m still in the first stage of the break in phase and I’m 100% happy with my purchase! I loved the extras that came standard with my machine! I added a snow plow kit and heated handlebars because living in Canada I felt it was a necessity. Long cold winters and a long driveway pushed the decision on the add ons. My dealer is 30-minutes away and they pick up and deliver it back after servicing for a very reasonable $40 so that’s an added bonus! I have only about 50 kms (31 miles) on it so far but from what I’ve experienced so far, it’s an amazing machine compared to the others I was looking at. I will buy the extended warranty just for peace of mind although I don’t think i’ll need it! Thanks again for the awesome review!
how does it work plowing ? I'm thinking of getting rid of my snow blower and getting a plow.
I have a 2021 CF Moto C-Force 600 Touring in camo. Yes it is a very solid machine, very well built, rides great, handles great, four-wheel drive works wonderful. The two up seat is great my wife really enjoys the comfort. I really enjoy this machine. There's no doubt that you should go out and get one of these or at least ask to test drive one.
I purchased this a month ago. There is no problems with dealers here in minnesota. CFMOTO USA is headquartered here in Plymouth Minnesota. I have three dealers within 45 minutes of me. I purchased it at Power Lodge in Ramsey Minnesota and they have plenty of these right now ready to roll as well as the side by sides and the 800s touring as of March 2021
I bought two there over the last month. First, I bought a lava orange XC800 about 5 weeks ago, and 3 days ago, I bought a titanium silver touring 600. I haven't checked too much yet, but I don't believe either of mine came with the 7 pin trailer wiring pigtail. Did yours come with it? From the time I bought my XC800 to the time I came back and got my touring 600, they had gone through 3 truck loads of CFMOTO's... a new truck just came in, and when I bought mine, it was still in the crate and they had to put it together.
@@angryman71 no it did not come with that. I thought that was only a Canadian and European thing for some unknown reason. One thing I wish they came with for sure was mirrors. I don't really like to have to turn around and look to see who's behind me...lol
Yes I purchased mine a month ago also. When I showed up there with my wife we were just going to look at them and have her sit on the backseat of a touring model and I think at the time they had nine orange ones because I had called ahead of time. The funny thing about it is is that when we had showed up there was an all camo one and it was there just because another dealer had recently traded them a camo one for an orange one. So we purchased the camouflage 600 touring that day.
I got one with my 800 in NY bought almost a year ago. 2020
I have the same model and love it.
Man I found your video while thumbing through looking for comparisons. There's a dealer near me in Louisiana Covington Motor Sports and he handles them every time I pass I'm checking them out after watching this and a couple other videos on them I think I'm gonna stop in and give them a once over. I don't Mud Ride so it will be used for hunting only then pretty much sit till July or August to prep for the up coming season. Great review and as for the Bad I guess being there's a dealer near me there really wont be a down side to this thing at all... Thanks
Did you buy one? if so, which one? I live in Baton Rouge and am considering one as well.
Great video, thank you
Good Job. Keep it coming.
Just did the valve check for the after the break in Took me 2 hours to get the plastics off 10 minutes to check the valves 2 more hours to put the plastics back on Honestly felt like I had half the machine apart And I kind of did. Got everything back together fine except for those 2 screws on the inside by the gas tank impossible to get those back on.
Purchased 2024 overland just for fun. Me & the wife for weekend in Scottish mountains 😄
Just bought a 2022 cf moto 600 camo version can’t wait to hit the trails
Great video bud, I love my cforce and I have many dealers around me so thats a plus
I would recommend these quads to anyone..
Nice unit I now what I'm getting now!
When I first started looking at CFMOTO about 6 years ago there was only one dealer he was about two hours away. Now there’s about 10 dealers in southern Ontario. The dealer I go to has a lot of ATVs and boats for sale. They’re about 45 minutes away from me. I am a mechanic I don’t find it all that hard to work on compared to a car or truck. For servicing everything’s easy to get at and really no special tools required. I bought an actual dealer service manual for mine. In Canada they have one year full warranty and five years on major components that touch oil. I have an 800 XC it’s has 18 hours on it now I just got it in January. I’ve been plowing a lot of snow with it. Anyway so far so good hasn’t caused any problems but time will tell if it was a good choice. So far I’m pretty happy with it.
I got the 2021 Cforce 600 touring 2up camo and so far I am very satisfied and the plus side for me is my dealer is five minutes away a full power sports dealer with over two years of CFMOTO sales and service. I have the 1 year warranty with the option for 5 years.
Same here. Love my 600 2 up.
Good video .. it goes without saying that the radiator is 18% bigger and the fan is also bigger, to solve a previous problem of raising the temperature .. I have an identical one even in the camouflaged one, the rear position lights on mine turn on all the top bar ..Before I had a Can Am 1000 that delivered x the 600 CF ... Greetings from Uruguay.
I agree with almost everything you said as a can am and cfmoto owner. Can am and tracker don’t belong in the same sentence much less same class. If a only could have a tracker I’d walk.
Love my camo 600 touring 2up. 40 hours on it and it runs great. Broken in and rides incredible. I have a first time dealer, Cycleworkx in Elida Ohio, carrying these but their mechanics are awesome.
Bill, never heard of Elida OH I went to my local dealer in Canton, OH Harding’s Park Cycle and they are a full service dealer parts and service which is where I first learned of these machines. Really liked them which is why I’m checking these videos out
Well done.. was considering CF. Bought Honda Rubicon instead.. no grease zerks on Honda’s they’re sealed units
I gave CFmoto a fair amount of consideration but stayed with the Yamaha Grizzly/Kodiak line of ATVs that have been bulletproof in my experience. Also, the resale value is superb.
I wasn't able to find a nearby dealer to test one so I was also concerned about the poor support that you mentioned.
The overall weight is well above that of the leading brands. It's probably not a big issue for farm/ranch work but that extra weight equates to reduced performance for the speed both off the line and at full throttle. In addition, the heavier weight reduces the towing capacity. The weight may be a function of being less refined with its design and the materials used.
Having said that I agree with you that the CFmoto has the most bang for the buck and will exceed the expectations of most owners. I will keep a close eye on this brand thanks to your excellent review.
Thank You for your honest review! I’m picking one of these up this weekend.
I own a Polaris and a cfmoto and to be honest cf all day and I’m very lucky that our dealership fully backs cfmoto all in!!! In fact its called the power center!
Thank you for the review
Great review, thanks for the honest feedback. Very helpful
You are spot on about the dealerships. The two nearest to me are both HD dealerships. One won't even list CFMoto on their website and the other sells a lot of Japanese powersports equipment so they kind of treat CFMoto like an afterthought. You go in to look at what they have in stock and they try to sell you a new Honda Foreman.
Nice unit 👍
This was a really good review 😃
I really like my cforce 520L that I had for almost 3 years. I made a 2 year review last year on it with the pros and cons I had, and will make a 3 year review this summer.
I have never think about the clutch, that cfmoto come stock with a really good brand.
My dealer is only 10 km away from where I live, and they have really good service + mechanics that know their stuff.
CF Moto is a really good brand, I it will take you everywhere you want to go. I bought 27" tires for mine last fall, and it was a big game changer with good ground clearance and softer ride.
I subscribed to you, so I can see more of your machine 😃
Any spacer need on 27’ tires ?
@@CF625TR I didn't put on any, but it will probably help a bit
great video! i was on the fence but just fell off! might try to secure one this weekend!
Excellent review.
My only question is why they weigh so much more than the competition. CURB WEIGHT: 870 LBS! vs. 704 lb for the Can-Am 570 Outlander. That's like having an adult passenger riding along with you.
Yea, I say the winch, mount,and switches makes up about 45lbs but why the rest of the weight is there is beyond me. Bumpers,handguards,6 ply tires may be another 40 extra above base model quads in same class. Plastic over rack covers maybe 15lbs. The rest I say is probably overbuilt frame,reciever,axles??
One thing you forgot about was the override button on the handlebars for when you're in diff lock.
Have you experienced heat on the right side where you legs rest on the plastic? Some people have stated that they are blistering from the heat.
Pretty nice machine! Just a note watching your video and probably tied down at other points on trailer but I don’t know if I’d trust tie downs over tires. Seems if you lose tire pressure could be a bad deal.
That’s how all car carriers secure cars on their trailers. But you do have a point.
I’ve been in the sport since the 80’s and trailer a lot. The strap over the tire is absolutely the best way to tie down an ATV. I’ve seen many cases where straps on the frame come loose from the suspension compressing further due to rough roads, damage to body work from friction or strain. I use 1 strap on each tire. You would have to have all 4 tires go flat to be a problem, and it would be a problem no matter where the straps were hooked as the lower atv would let the tension off the straps.
How easy are they to repair? We used to run Honda Ranchers, Foreman, and Rincons on our Ranch to herd cattle, and now won't buy the newer ones. We look for older ones with low mileage. It used to be that the front ends had several supports and several separate pieces of plastic. When you hit a cow, and you will if you are using them on a ranch, the older ones, you could take the plastic off, straighten out the supports and put it all back together in a couple hours. With the newer ones, when you hit a cow, it shears off two support bolts or their mounts and ruins the entire front half of the plastic because it is all one big piece. The last one we had, the quad had to take a trip to the welding shop to fabricate new mounts and reweld.
What happens to CFMoto when you hit a cow?
I went shopping for them today. I would say for the money there is no way in hell someone could justify another brand unless they're fan boying. As a Honda fan boy myself I know its hard to break from. The only thing I saw that was inferior to the other brands was that the welds on the racks are not as clean as say a Yamaha but if they're strong I don't care what they look like Especially since they're hidden on the new models under plastics.
100%
nice video i have the 600 touring and i had the same to recalls but the two CFmoto deals around me are powersports and carry other major brands and they cant keep inventory of the cfmoto's . i got one of my friends to buy a 600 also .and i watch real talk powersports hes is great thanks for video
I bought a 2020 CForce 600 last year and I love it. One point on "the bad" -- the battery is hard to access. After removing the seat you also need to remove a metal bar anchored by two bolts and a plastic cover anchored by plastic grommets. That gives you access to the battery and terminals. But even after that and releasing the rubber strap holding the battery down I was not able to remove the battery. It appears to be anchored somehow underneath, but the space is very tight with little room to maneuver, and I can't figure out what is holding it down. I need to remove the battery in the winter to attach it to a battery tender (I keep the ATV in a shed with no electricity, so I need to get the battery out and into my camp where I have power). Any insights on how to get the battery out would be greatly appreciated.
I purchased November 2018 cf moto 500 and now sept. 2021 electric power steering went out and no warranty on it cause I did not purchase extra warranty my bad costing me now (parts and labor $1500.) if u buy from H&W powersport get the 60 month warranty
You wouldn't happen to be talking about the H&W powers ports in texarkana are you?
@@darrellhampton2198 no Marshall tx.
I have a cforce 500. It is the same quality as the 600 with a few less features. If you want to see it I have videos posted. I have about 90 hours on it at the time of riding. I have some tires from a rzr 1000s and it handles really good with them. I believe I have around 900 miles getting ready for 3rd oil change.
I can honestly say that I'm debating between the CFmoto and the Polaris if I was to come out and say that I'm not debating between the 2 brands then I'd be lieing I'm honestly debating between the two brands my father is trying to talk me into going with a used machine that has 43 miles on it I'm real crazy about going with a used machine because we bought a used garden tractor and after about a year of having it we had to have a complete motor job done to it. Even after the motor job that we had done to it we still had issues with the damn thing I'm talking about an Ingersoll garden tractor.
I bought one 2020 2 Up Cfmoto 600
Same mine is orange
😮 I didn't even know about the trailer plug and outlet. I bought my cfmoto just for that reason to haul a trailer from the street to my back yard as well as move the trailer around my yard. I never knew the outlet existed. I will check tomorrow to see if it's there. If it is, my dealer owes me a whip.😤
Did you find the outlet?
@@calitaco I found the bracket for it, and the plug for the outlet, but there was no actual 6/7 pin outlet that hooks to the trailer☹️. I called and asked about it. Even though the book says it comes with the trailer harness, the guy who sold me the quads told me the quads don't come with it. That I would have to order it.
@@marcusd6096 That actually makes sense because as far as I know, ATVs are not street legal in the US so why would it need trailer brake lights. I know they can be street legal in certain parts of Europe though.
@@calitaco That's fair. I'm new to atv, and only thing these need are some rear view mirrors and turn signals and its pretty much ready for the street.... I will equip these with the trailer harness, that's what I really bought the 1000 for to haul the trailer around, from street to yard, and around the yard. If at night, the trailer lights would be nice to have. The 1000 is about 8 ft long so darn near the size of a car.
@@calitaco Update... I ended up buying the outlet directly from cf Moto, and it plugs right in to one of the sockets that has a cap on it , by the socket bracket(circle with 3 holes around it)... If anyone is reading this, make sure that you buy the one specifically for your cfmoto atv. The trailer plug kit really only differs at the actual plug connection. I accidently ordered the wrong plug. After observing, I had to remove some plastic from the ordered part so it would plug right in to my cfmoto 1000. Order the right part it will come with the right amount of plastic so one can plug and play without any modification. Overall it's the same trailer plug, just the actual plug connector is slightly different. The part came /was delivered pretty fast. All I need now, is the mirrors and the turn signals.
Where do you hook the chains from a trailer?
I just bunje them out of the way
Can u put a gun rack on front do they sell asseries for it

Great review! Fortunately we have a full blown dealer where I live. Been searching review's on the 600 for future purchase and this was a good one.
If the only bad is the dealers on this machine then I'm totally sold
Thanks for the video! Does CFMoto have a sprag clutch like a Yamaha which has engine braking on all 4 wheels when in 4 wheel dif lock, or rear wheels engine braking when in 2 wheel drive? Some brands free spool down hills. How does your quad do going down steep hills? I live in steep mountain terrain.
I was told its like the polaris but better. No wet clutch like the yamaha and yes engine braking.
Thank you for the honest review. Have you experienced in issues at slower speeds?
Great review, my buddy is a dealer and I'll have him check those grease fittings. Those transmissions seem to be top notch and we've clutched one this week but I didn't get a chance to check it out since it was still on the lift. Some people always need more.
Idk if I'd compare a Tracker to a Can-Am. Tracker is an Arctic Cat.
Can-Am build quality would smash a Tracker.
Hope you do a long term review also. A lot of people are doing reviews after only a few hours. When they still got that "new car smell".
Texas, I'm with you.. All of the reviews I have found are for new to 900 miles.. Heck, even the new Fiat's were pretty good with 900 miles.. Well, maybe not!
I want a 3/4 yr old with 2500 miles. One that's owned by a rider who's been riding for years and is only 20 yrs old. I know my boys were pretty hard on their dirt bikes.
I did a two year review on my channel. Feel free to look it up. I put my machine through hard work and it is still good today as it has ever been. Plenty about seen on UA-cam. I had ment to say Articat not Can Am. Potato potato.
I never had any issues with my 600
I wish they’d have a foot shift model.. I guess I’ll be buying Honda. 21 years of having a foot shift, I can’t stand the automatics I’ve ridden (polaris)
You change all the oils to Amsoil then that will really improve it
Looked at a 600 tour today. Have u ever had the 500 is it good as 600. Any cheaper
Tracker is basically an artic cat as they are both made by textron
Another channel was saying that the 600 is underpower. He recommends the 800. I'm not sure which to get. I currently have a Polaris 450 and I wonder how the 600 compares power wise.
Not sure about the comparison. At the time the 600 was more powerful "and more features" than the 500. I pull loads of firewood and drag a Black Boar blade with no issues. For a ATV of its class and size it does just fine. The CVT clutch can be weighted differently depending on what you want to do with it.
How is going with the CF Moto 600 after all this time??
Running strong as ever and is my work horse. I plan on doing a follow-up video soon
I am going to look at this Exact machine this week I absolutely love your receiver where did you get that
I cover this hitch in the newest video ! Check it out =0)
Nice video 👍👍👍
You helped me save 5 k
If i helped one person its worth it
Good day Sir may i ask what is the size of the trailer that you used? Thank you in advance
It’s a 4x8 folding trailer from Harbor Freight
Nice video sir
I wound up buying a Kymco because the dealer was closer!
What did you get? I think the maxxer 450 look nice.
@@samhoffek6005 700 mxu. I was aiming at the prime but didn't pull the trigger!
@@damianoby8540 ah. Nice!
Kymcos are great machines
Tracker is a articat.
What's the Trailor hitch called and who makes it? Thanks
what is the name of the dealer in LA?
I have a 2021 CF 4600 and the tailpipe broke right in half I was wondering if anyone else had trouble with that
Chain by the radiator? What does that do and why did you have to tie it up?
It was a recall item. The chain length could get caught in the fan.
What I have noticed about my CF Moto is it does have no where near the power as other brands. It just lacks power and speed
I dont know, I put mine through the ringer with the black Boar blade and pulling logs. With the CVT system it takes a bit for it to spin up and get speed. I know you have have that adjusted so it kicks in faster.
It will reach same top speeds..is just clutched for smooth acceleration...but is priced perfect for adding whatever..and still coming out ahead
@@jasonmailhot759 by the time you drop a tune and clutch kit in the machine you might as well purchased a more expensive machine not only that you putting all that work in it to keep up with other STOCK ATV.
@@jasonmailhot759 reach the same top speeds as what? Not Can Am or Polaris. I truly hate I went for the sales pitch. I hate my machine personally it’s slow and does not have power this is the reason it’s priced the way they are
Same speeds as similar machines..
One 600 to another...how fast does one need to go on a wheeler..60 mph on mine is way fast enuf...
Those beams will light up a field across the field *Its like the field is lit* lol
Hello. I just came across your video. I just bought a 2022 CFMOTO 800XC. I would like to get a trailer like yours. What is the brand name and size and/or where did you get it at? Thanks.
Check out my video on atv hauling and storage tips. I cover it
Are there any reviews of these things where people actually crank the damn things up. I want to hear what it sounds like
Price please
Very informative video, thank you for your insights. May i ask, sense you seem the sort to work on it yourself, if you have, how 'mechanic friendly' it is? Do the body panels come off fairly easily to get to serviceable areas, are parts easily obtainable ect. I'm considering putting a 4sale sign on my 1992 polaris Trailboss and building my credit a little with one of these, but i'm not the sort who can tolerate not being able to work on his own stuff.
Any new machine compared to what was built 20 years ago or more is going to be more complicated. All the basic maintenance is easy to get to without hatching into the main panels. They really don’t want owners working on the new cfmotos, I could not get the service manual for mine. It’s a dealer only link that can’t be downloaded or printed but I do have access to the link. I have to replace a CV boot on mine “my fault” and will post a video on it.
Back in the day ATVs were made simple and extremely easy to access and work on, front and rear plastics were one piece etc. ATVs today should follow with being rugged and easy to work on.
@@RemOutdoors i completely agree, Anything worth spending that kind of money on should be something you could run down to the parts store or atleast order parts for online and install yourself, i love my old polaris for the fact that short of any engine work, replacing anything on it takes like 30 minutes or less and can be done with a socket set and a screwdriver.
I like the idea of buying something new and modern, but i'd absolutely baulk if they told me i wasn't authorized to replace something when it wore out / broke and be more than pissed if they refused to sell me parts to do it.
Anyways thanks for taking the time to reply!
Just wanted to say. Tracker and canam are not the same at all
Do u or any body else know how to adjust the engine break so ur rear wheels don't lock up when ur going down a steep hill
There is no adjustment for it. Technically it's not really an engine brake in the sense that the motor has a brake itself. It's actually a one way spindle bearing located at the axis point of the primary clutch. the best way to counter this brake when going down steep declines. Don't completely let off the throttle. Put the machine in low gear....and keep your thumb throttle lightly depressed turning the transmission. It's when you completely let off the throttle and start coasting....then hit the throttle that causes it to brake hard.
My CFMOTO 600 touring has a locking front break.
I hear they have no bottom end. Want to buy one for plowing. But unsure if it can.
Not for speed but it's extra strong in low.
Which place in Louisiana?
Trackers are made by Arctic Cat (Textron) not Can- am. Winch on the 600 is a 2500 not 3000lbs. It's a good quad but it's no Grizzly not even close! Lights are very nice and like the lock.
Resale?
Cfmoto 600 winch is 3000lbs, I own one.
How much are they??
The bad is the dealer network. Jokes on you, I live 15 minutes away from a dealer that ONLY deals in CF moto
Has it been very revvy for you? Like for it to move it's very revvy 15 to 20mph
Its normal for this type of clutch type. I know the clutch can be re weighted to solve this.
