What are you're thoughts? Would you consider getting a CF Moto (Either Uforce or other)? I have to say, overall I have been really impressed with CF Moto (Cforce review coming soon...hint hint). Now don't get me wrong, when it comes down to it I don't know if I would say they are on the same playing field as Polaris or Canam....yet. But for how much you get for your money, that really evens it out a lot.
Thoughts?
Yes!!! I cant wait for the zforce 1000
@@Derek_00Mustang83 where do you live that doesn't already have them? Been here in Ohio since winter last year.
@@iamupononewheel I meant to see one in person lol. I'm in central Illinois and there are only a couple z force 800s that I've seen at our local offroad park
I am hoping we can get a review done on one before too long! I am really interested to see how much of a punch they have. They are out now, is that what you are thinking about getting?
Agree. Have you driven one yet?
I stumbled on to your videos a couple weeks ago. Dude, your videos are great!! You friggin crack me up!! And yes, I clicked subscribe! (two thumbs up lol)
Hey thanks for the compliment, Mark! I really appreciate that and sometimes wonder if what I think is humor others are like "this dude is an idiot".
Thanks for subscribing and I appreciate the compliment!
Great review AND great video. Your editing has come a long way!
Thank you! I truly appreciate that.
Dude! Because of your video, I went out a bought a 2020 UForce 800! GREAT machine so far, but some issues with the CVT shifter and the jerky start at low speed. Overall, great machine for the price and you can't beat the options. Got the roof and windshield too. GREAT Video!
Great video! I just purchased a new 2019 UFORCE 500 and noticed the blinkers weren't functioning. Has the turn signal lever with symbols on them.. So, just go be clear, the system does not have functioning blinkers from the factory? Only wiring for additions? Thanks in advanced
10-9-2020 Just bought one, your video was a big help.
Great Video and good balanced review. As of today I am a subscriber !!….. Now to stock the rest of your Vids lol ;)
Great Video
I'm looking a getting a CFMoto Uforce 500 and really wondering what the big difference is from the 800 other I'm guessing power. I'm not a hard core rider so speed isn't a big deal. it's going to be used for a bit of work a bit of cruising. the biggest question is will it struggle with 2 people in it?
Great video! Ive had my uforce 800 for a few weeks now. Im thinking a shock upgrade is necessary and a half door kit would ne nice, but over all super impressed with it.
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the 1 year review.
Thanks for the comment, and congrats on the new machine!
I agree with the shock upgrade, I'm hoping to get that taken care of this winter!
Navigate Offroad Fox time was it ?
Love your channel!!! You should do a long term "up to now" review on this. I've had a lot of people ask me about these, and I've steered them away based on dealer network alone. My question is, up to now, would you buy another one?
Just got my call this week. My 950ho ex came in. Been waiting 4 months. I also purchased a u800 for my daughter. Should have them by the weekend. Cant wait to ride
I was going to get one of these but I hear the in cab heat gets bad and I just sold a Odes dominator because of the in cab heat and living in Florida it's already hot. So I'm going with the new cfmoto uforce 600 because the engine is back a little more plus it will fit through our 6 foot gates and we use it to pull our sprayer to spray the fence line.
How do you power on & off the winch remote?
If you’ve opened the remote you’ll see there are actually 4 buttons (2 winch in & 2 winch out)? Does anyone know why?
I’ve got the same machine, operation of the winch remote isn’t explained in the manual or winch guide that came with the machine.
Love the review...Short sweet and to the point! You are kinda funny too...lol.
Dude your videos are awesome! Do you have any experience in owning other SXS? How would you compare to any of the other ones? Price comparison? Any luck on getting that clutch h smoothed out? I do a lot of clutch work so gimme a holler if you need some pointers... gonna move on.. I will keep hitting that thumbs up button👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Did you ever resolve the clutch issue? Looked through your vid and didn't see. Just pick up the same 800 2021 with jumping/lurch with only 100 miles on it. Thanks your review helped calmed the nerves for the deposit payment.
Visited the local dealer...very impressed with the 800 and the 1000 Uforce. Leaning toward the Uforce 1000 as it has skid plate, rear and side mirror, winch, and HEATED bench seats. As this will be used for plowing, I like the heated seats! Only problem is the enclosed cab with heater won't be available until the fall...I didn't find the bucket seats on the 800 very comfortable but I'm heading back soon for another look...if the price is right perhaps the 800 with enclosed cab will be coming with me...don't think I can wait until the fall.
That's awesome! Thanks for the feedback and please let me know what you end up doing.
Those heated seats are sweeeet. Personally, I'm just not a big fan of the bench style seats.
REALLY looking for a long term follow up on this!
We Bought a 2018 Uforce 500 yesterday !! Will be delivered after they install the 72 inch snow plow .
That's awesome, congrats!!! What type of plow are you getting put on it?
@@NavigateOffroad Its A KFI plow not able too Share Pictures ?
Oh OK, nice! I've actually been looking at getting a KFI plow for ours as well.
I don't think UA-cam allows picture sharing in the comments. You can DM it to me on Instagram though!
How’s the cfmoto holding up? We are looking at getting our first side by side and this is a brand we were interested in.
Had mine just at a year now and I've not been nice to it still runs good and goes almost everywhere. I have the 500cc and it does great.
That's awesome and good to hear! Thanks for the feedback Tanner.
What’s the max speed on your 500 on flat well formed surfaces?
@@LeroyJenkins0311 62 on level ground
Tanner Young awesome thanks! Just curious for driving on country roads where if your not doing 35-45 mph you’ll create a line of vehicles
Gday mate just wondering if the 800 is very noisy cause I know the 500 is and we are looking at getting one
Just bought a 500 ho u force . Would love just to see you hitting the trails and going threw some stuff nothing crazy .
Thanks for the comment, Danny. I just posted a video up on Instagram tonight and will have another video on mudding in the Uforce tomorrow night as well. If you are on Instagram you can always follow us there to see some random footage of it from time to time. (@midwestatv)
I appreciate the feedback, and I will try and get some footage on the Uforce worked into some additional footage soon. One of the trail reviews we have coming out in the next month or so should have some additional footage of it if nothing else. We took it mudding, and definitely put it to work :)
Did you ever find a lift kit for your UForce 800?
Is there any heat that comes under the seat?
What yr model is that? I ask because several things are different from the ones I've been looking at. Seats look a little diff, passenger grab bar is adjustable, has blinkers/hazard lights all around, different wheels and tires, winch has plug in glove box, good seatbelts and the clutching is really good and smooth. I've been looking at the 18-19 models in Louisiana
I'm not entirely sure what you have been looking at... This is a 2018. I'm guessing you are mostly looking at the Canadian 2019 model? The US versions do not actually come with blinkers, so that's weird as it is. Are you sure it's not just the wiring? These are built for blinkers for example, but to actually get them wired with blinkers you would generally have to buy them outside te US.
If you found one new from the dealer with blinkers... That would be the first I have heard of this. Would love any extra details you have, thanks for the input.
Have you done any upgrades or mods to the UForce? If so can you please do a video? Thank you!
Do you still recommend the cf moto? Looking at getting one
This is 4 years late on the video is this thing still going how well has it held up
Cool review! Am on the market for one of this utv's.
Thanks for the comment! Let us know what you end up buying.
How is the motors?? I'm looking into a ATV 800 and would love to know what you think
Thanks for the review. I'm looking at the UForce 500 as it will be my first side by side. I like the fact that they are a few thousand cheaper than the big brands, with a lot more extras. Awesome to hear real reviews by someone who owns one.
Thanks for the comment Rob!
Let me know if you end up getting the 590, they are definitely a good deal right now! You get a lot for your money and the fact that you dont have to run out and buy things like a winch definitely help.
Don’t get the 500. I bought one and I wish a got the 800. 500 bogs down to much on hills. I’ve had lot of trouble with my low gear linkage. Keeps popping out.
Excellent review. Love my ‘17 UForce 800.
Hey thanks for the compliment! Glad to hear your Uforce is treating you dood. Have you modified it at all?
@@NavigateOffroad No I really haven't. I have never been really big on modifying my vehicles. I also have two other ATV's (an old Bombardier and a Kawasaki). All I have done to my UForce was add the roof, change out the air filter, I added heat barrier sheeting to the underside of my center console, put an LED light bar on the front bumper and two light pods on the roof. The LED lights really light up the trails when heading out to hunt in the mornings.
Nice. Fair enough but those are some mods. I specifically have been asking with the Uforce because it's hard to come by aftermarket parts so I am always curious where people are getting them.
Midwest ATV I just saw a new CFMoto parts site over at the CFMoto USA Power Syndicate page: cfmotousaparts.com. The good news is they now have a parts site. The bad news it’s terrible. There are no pics and if they’ve include accessories, they’re not easy to find.
😆 Sounds about right. CFMOTO has a lot to fix when it comes to areas like customer service, aftermarket parts, etc. They're really disappointing in certain areas.
Thanks for the heads up though! I'll have to at least check it out I suppose.
Do you know anyways to quiet some? The inside engine noise is so loud its hard to hold conversation while driving
Has CF Moto changed the clutch in this model?
THANK YOU! The clutch Fukn Sux! Someone finally said it.
🤣🤣 Well I guess I'm not alone on that one! Hahaha
Did you figure out what that dash button did you talked about in the walk around?
I did! So it's not actually reverse override like I had guessed. It's actually a speed limit override switch when in 4wd lock.
The speed is limited when in 4wd lock, and the switch allows you to override it giving you more engine power.
Labas rytas! Puikus transportas savo darbams! Ačiu kad pasidalinote! 🙂👍
I have a cf moto utv 500 and im wondering best way to make it quieter in cab
Good question. I don't have an immediate answer for that one. I would check out the "CFMOTO Ownerz" group on facebook. Someone there might have a good idea or two for you. Sorry I am not more helpful than that here!
I'm not sure there are any "savings" if you're going to swap out the seats, exhaust, and perhaps the shocks? Wouldn't the cost of all those upgrades make it more expensive than the name brads?
Not if you are doing all those on a Polaris or Canam anyway! 😉 Well... Probably not the shocks. But since this video was recorded I've sort of leaned away from replacing the shocks anyway... Or at least I say that now 🤔
Hi there,I'm looking at getting a Side by side,are you still Happy with your CFMoto,Thanks John
I stopped after you talked about the clutch. Thumbs up for the honest review.
Hey thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
Agreed. This video could be shortened to: "CF Moto went all out on features, except on any item that actually costs money to do properly. For those, they skimped badly."
@@MountainAdventures1 haha! Come now I didn't say that! 😆
I actually think it has a really good engine...just not a good clutch, it's just terrible.
You mention the clunky clutch and I have read in reviews that the gears get stuck would this not be enough to stay away from ??
I'm surprised someone hasn't made a clutch kit for it yet?????
Oh, and seeing as how you plan on doing those other upgrades (exhaust, tires, etc) why not some Elka shocks?
Excellently done review. Loved the shameless self promotion with the cardboard sign on the drivers seat - lol. Thanx for sharin'!
Nice plug for Elka shocks! After reading this I was like "yea that's a great point!". So I went and checked their site, it shows they don't have shocks for 2017 or 2018. I might have to reach out and see what they say.
@@NavigateOffroad what clutch kit would you recommend? I am looking at getting the 500 myself, I have been a little skeptical but your vid has helped. I looked at the 1000 today but most places I hunt have tight spaces.
Hey Steve, glad the video has helped! Sadly I cannot give you a great idea on the clutch kit yet... There is a serious lack of them out there for the Uforce. Once I figure something out, I will make sure to do a video on it. Where do you hunt?
@@NavigateOffroad I am located in Mississippi about an hour from Memphis. We have a lot of hills where I hunt.
Nice! I would love to get some good Mississippi rides in some day.
Great vid. All those little things are cool but the clutching is a big thing. If it sucks that bad I wouldn’t want it. Deal breaker right there.
I can definitely understand that. I do think it is mostly a great machine otherwise, but I just cannot get on board with the current clutch situation I am glad I didn't forget to bring it up, I would feel like crap if I did not bring it up and then you found out about it after buying one. So even though I do think it is overall a good machine, I totally understand why you would be turned off by the clutch in this machine.
Just an fyi but I believe the mounts at 10:53 are for a hard top roof, not a light bar mount.
Yea, I do believe you may be correct on that one Oz. As someone who does not like having a roof though, I think we are still going to try putting a light bar there. It seems like the right distance so we are going to give it a shot, maybe they are somewhat universal...?
Thank you for the input! At the time we shot this, I was pretty confident they could be used for a light bar. Now I don't realize why roof didn't pop into my head! I guess we will find out how universal they are 😆.
I just ordered the hard top for mine so hopefully it will arrive at the dealership next week. My complaint is the terrible turning radius. How do you feel about that?
Nice, let me know how the top fits!
I totally agree about the turning radius! I should have mentioned that in the review, that's a great comment. I was really surprised with the turning radius and now I'm kicking myself for not mentioning it!
Hey Chris , great video ! Just had a the uforce bought to my property for a demo . Pretty impressed with the whole package .... but holy crap it was noisy ! Are all UTVS this loud when inside the cab of just this model?
Robert Francis pretty much all SXS’s are loud inside yes. Yamaha and Honda are the quietest of the lot though.
Yea I guess I haven't noticed it being any louder than other side by sides. The noise on these has never really stood out to me. So I guess I would error on the side of it being normal.
Did you end up purchasing one?
Midwest ATV Thanks for replying guys. Haven’t committed to purchasing one yet ..thought I might demo a couple more models first , although I can’t see anything on the market which comes close when it comes to value for money.. thanks again fellas!
Right on, Robert. Well good luck with your decision! Hope it all works out...hard not to when your getting a new machine though. 😆
Very nice machine, I hope it holds up well! I will say those doors need an upgrade. They don't look functional or visually appealing. Good review my dude.
Thanks brother. I appreciate it.
I agree the doors are mediocre. I dont really mind them because I'm not a big doors guy. Honestly if anything I would probably just take them off. They aren't exactly doing much ya know?
See I like to kinda rough it through the bush during hunting season, I just figured if I'm in a cab machine I'd want doors to stop the sticks and bushes from smashing me in the face all the time haha. You have a point tho. Most days you'll never need em.
Haha, yea that makes sense.
I've never been a big lover of an enclosed cab because I start to feel like it's more of a car and less of an offroad vehicle.
Man I love your thumbnails ahhhaha
Haha, thanks man! I appreciate that.
how much can it tow an carry in the dump bed. how fast can it go. it needs a roof an wind shield
The dumb bed holds 600 lbs. I believe it can tow 1500 lbs but dont remember off the top of my head at the moment. Both are discussed in the video at some point.
Honestly not a big fan of windshields and roofs. Like to be opened up to the environment.
Looks like you should have waited for the 2019. It has different doors and shocks plus other stuff. Great video.
Thanks for the compliment, Steve. Yea I hear you, but I feel like you can say that almost every year 😆
@@NavigateOffroad only the 1k uforce is designed different. They are really sweet though.
@@danyancey still trying to get one for a review. We have not been able to get a single person from CFMOTOs media/marketing/social media departments to answer a phone, email, or DM or get back to us!!
Nice review
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Loved the video and your presentation. What's our thoughts after owning it for 1 year. Do you still have it?
We're serious looking at the UForce because of the value. Thanks for your time and response.
Also, I subscribed. Thanks for the videos.
Hey thanks for the compliment and for subscribing, Curtis!
After a year of owning it, I believe there are riders it is good for, and not good for.
I think it is a GREAT machine for working around the property, shoveling snow, filling the box with whatever, etc. It is also a great machine for the price.
I am not so certain it is a great machine for riders that trail ride, and that's their primary use for it. I say this primarily due to the clutch. If this is going to be a trail machine, I think the clutch needs to be replaced. It is honestly one of the worst clutches I have ever used, so with technical trail riding I believe this is more obvious.
With that said, I have heard the 2020 Uforce has a better feel to the clutch (sadly we haven't had the chance to review one yet). So I really think it depends on your primary use. If you plan to use it mainly for recreation along the trail, I would just make sure you ride one first, and see how the clutch treats you. If its not jerky and rides smooth, awesome!
Now that I'm done I realize that almost sounds a little wishy washy...lol. I hope that provided some honest insight at least!
Good to know about the clutch - that would absolutely be a deal breaker for me.
Yea it's definitely irritating as crap! I've been doing some research and think we have a solution. Before I do that though we are taking it in to the dealer to see if they can fix it through warranty. Bottom line though, it's common with the Uforce and shouldn't be a problem from the start.
I been waiting for this review but I was hoping the video was going to show moments of the UTV in action. So we could hear how loud it is and giving it test runs in water mud over rocks etc. Maybe a inside camera recording the video with you talking in your helmet while testing it. Few outside shots of it driving by as well. We crave the footage of performance.
This is really good feedback and I truly appreciate it. Now that you say that, I'm irritated that we did not put more footage like that in as we have it no less!
I will try and make sure to include this type of footage in future reviews.
Thank you!
@@NavigateOffroad ya what I think would help you get more views is us viewers to be able to hear and see the machine in action while your giving your thoughts and opinions of the machine. When it comes to showing the storage and features you done a great job, like the showing of the underseat storage never knew that, great feature.
Ok, noted for the next machine review! Seriously, thank you for this feedback. It's really appreciated.
I agree, and don't tell us what you don't like, (seatbelts, clutch) show us.
Was there storage under the passenger seat too?
Hello, congrats for the channel, my name is Rodrigo and I am interested in own a snorkel kit for my UForce CF 800 year 2018.
Can you send me some information were can I buy this kit?
I live in West Palm
Sincerely,
Rodrigo.
Rodrigo Tornaría.
Hahaha honestly forgot to subscribe until I saw the sign!
Your sign said, "Suscribe" lol. Also, if you don't like the adjustable shocks, wouldn't you just adjust them?
I know what the factory specs say, but I have a limited space in my toy hauler and would like to know “Real life” bumper to bumper measurements so I can decide if I can shoehorn it in to the available space. That’s the only thing from keeping my on the fence.
I will try to measure this one tomorrow for you.
Hey William! I'm sorry I never got back to you on this like I said I would! I went and measured the Uforce we have, and it came out to about 114 inches from the furthest point in the front, to the furthest point in the back.
I hope that helps! Sorry for the delay man.
It’s basically 5 ft by 10 ft
Good video. I have pretty much made up my mind that this is the machine that I will get
Thanks for the compliment!
Glad to hear it was useful. Are you planning on getting one this year yet or waiting until next season?
Midwest ATV I am shooting to get it before winter so I can get a plow and ensure that we get no snow.
Bahaha! That's hilarious.
I am also planning on putting a plow on this machine this winter. We better get some snow!
What's your overall thoughts about the uforce 1000 comp to the uforce 800 ? Road, mud and heavy offroad? Great Channel!!👌 Greetings from Norway
Thanks for the compliment, Espen!
Well I have to say as a disclaimer, we are still waiting to review the 1000, so I haven't driven it yet. I think in general though, the 800 is good enough for the average person. Now if you work on a farm and Want to max the towing capacity or if you want to modify it into a mudding machine, maybe look at the 1000. Other difference being, if you want a bench seat the 1000 would be the way to go. Personally, I don't like bench seats so the 1000 is actually a turn off for me.
@@NavigateOffroad Thank's for your personal oppinion on the uforce 1000 👌 Agree that the bench seat is not the best option. Will you come with more long term review on the uforce800?
The 2 utv that i consider now is the Uforce 800 and the Polaris General 1000.
Thanks, Espen. Yes, I will try to do a long term review down the road. That's a good idea.
Both the General and the Uforce are great options. If money was no issue, I would probably lean towards the General personally. However you pay more and then still need to add a winch and other accessories just to get what the uforce comes with. You are also looking at more power with the General 1000 though, and more opportunities to modify it. So depending on your situation, that can be tough call.
Let me know what you decide to do!
Your rite about the Polaris having more hp but it has less tourque than the cf
@@joddaley6510 does it really? Thanks for the input, I will have to go check that out. I didn't make that connection.
We just picked up an 800 UForce....dont care for the seat belt, could someone recommend a good 4 point set, and how hard would it be to set up blinkers and hazard lights
Not that hard.
@@frankyalvarez7160 Enlighten please.
Alpha sport (alpha sport.com I believe) has the blinker kits for them. I have not installed them, but they are supposed to be somewhat easy to put in.
As for 4 point harness's any of the big sites should have some generic options. Otherwise checkout utvma.com. I have used theirs before and been happy with them.
@@NavigateOffroad both links are coming up no good.
Here is the Alpha Sport One: alpha-sports.com/cfmoto_parts.htm
I researched CF before deciding on the pioneer.
I was impressed with all the extras that they include.
however I don't think I would buy one at least not for a couple more years/experience. its kinda like buying an early generation KIA or Hyundai.
If you could get a Toyota at a similar price wouldn't you?
love your videos.
keep them up. its nice to have somebody reviewing trails close to home.
Thanks for the compliment and comment, I really appreciate that!
The pioneer is an amazing machine, so first off congrats on that beast! As for the CF Moto, i totally understand the hesitation. In their defense though, i will say they have been around for many years now. They are just newer to North America. But I still get it, they are definitely not as big or common as Honda, Polaris, etc.
Would I pay as much for a uforce as I would a Pioneer? No, probably not....I would just get a pioneer. But the lower price is what (I believe) is helping them grow right now. They realize they are newer and the lower price with more features are huge selling points. Plus, I do think overall the quality is good.
Not bashing you but I was going to buy a Pioneer first but now years later after not getting a side-by-side it shows that there transmission and the paddle shifters just came up to par. Glad I didn't pull the trigger.
All buttons smashed bruh 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I’m not sure if I would consider a CF Moto, I couldn’t see myself not buying a big name brand as bad as that sounds but buying a big name brand also has its perks. I’m currently looking at a Maverick trail, because all or most of my trails that I ride on are 50 inches or less, or possibly a new Outlander. Not sure if I want to switch to the side by side world or stay with ATV’s. I currently have a Can-Am renegade which I bought used that was great but now I got new wants and needs. Thanks for the great videos, I really enjoy watching them, so keep em coming!
1. Thank you for the compliment (and for commenting) I really appreciate that.
2. I don't think that sounds bad, I get it. Canam, Polaris, etc. are big brands with proven machines here. I know there is always bickering back and forth about what is better but at the end of the day, there is a comfort in (mostly at least) knowing what you are getting. Not to mention when you have a problem or need a part, you know there are a plethora of options out there.
The switch between side by side and ATV is a tough one. Personally...I think if I could only ever ride 1, it would probably be an ATV. I do love side by side's as well though, and they definitely have some perks. I am very grateful that I currently have the opportunity to ride both.
Current CF Moto products seem to be getting close to honda/Yamaha reliability, between can-am/Kawasaki and better than Polaris/Suzuki. If u would use a 50in trail a lot then I would definitely get a 50! Can am trail would be a good pick!
@Complex - "I couldn't see myself not buying a big name brand". Because you are a sheep... You are a statistic of the masses. You care more about the name on the side of the machine than the actual machine. You took the bait full line and sinker. I ride with people like you. I love how I paid $6000 for my machine, and they paid $18,000 for theirs, and mine out performs theirs every time.
I agree HumpDaddy01, their reliability is really making headway and is often considered a pretty reliable brand at this point.
I bought a CF Cforce that had the same herky jerky action between 1500 and 3000 rpm. My dealer fixed it, contacted cf in MN and they had him change something in the fuel injection. No more problems. Love the machine, my wife and I have put on 500 miles in 3 months!
Thanks for the comment! I think now that the "busy" riding season is coming to an end, we will take it in and talk to the dealer about it. Wanted to just swap the clutch out but there is not a whole lot of aftermarket clutches out there yet.
Glad to hear you guys are loving it, definitely a great machine! Where have you guys been riding with it?
Midwest ATV Did you take the UTV ti the dealer? Did it fix your jerkiness too?
No! Sadly it is still on my "to do" list. So I appreciate you harassing me because it needs to get done! 👍
What's the difference between V force and C force. Thx
Sorry U force and V. Force.
Part of the jerky clutching isn’t clutching. It is the lean condition at low rpms caused by having to pass our emissions. Swap out a Z800 ECU and the symptoms are all but gone. Make low speed drivability much better.
Thanks for the feedback. Are there any downsides you are aware of by doing this? Does it mess with low end power or torque in a negative way?
Please, go on.
What is a Z800 ECU?
@@d3br34k5 What is a Z800 ECU?
Addie Fanlow probably talking about an ecu from a zforce 800, the sport version.
Just got my Moto. First thing to go is the doors, side bar and the grab bar. Man this thing wasn't made for big boys lol..
I have a 2018 u force 800 got 250 miles on it had it in now 3 times for the same problem dealer that I go to says bolt for rear main seal keeps backing loose so it starts leaking oil? Anybody else have or here of anyone else with this problem.
Geeze, that's terrible Jeff. No, personally I have never heard of this problem. I don't understand how the mechanics can't fix this issue if they know that's the problem though?!
I meant yeah first time they said there was no Loctite on the bolt when there should of been then they put Loctite on the bolt the 2nd time and now I'm not sure what they did so we'll see if it loosens up again next time iam calling cf headquarters
Yikes. Yea that's a bummer. I dont blame you for calling their headquarters. Although be warned...their customer service is not up to par. One of my biggest complaints with the company.
220 kms on mine and just got a recall for the same problem
@@jimlajoie5387 I have about 350 miles on mine now 150 are driving it to my dealer and back home to get fixed got mine last August and had it back there 3 times for that problem so far so good but I put cardboard under it all the time to make sure it's not leaking you said there was a recall I never received anything thanks I'll check into it.
Great review man!i noticed the jerkyness on the clutch too, other than that, great!! keep em coming!!
Thanks for the compliment, and the comment! I am honestly still trying to figure out why they would have released the uforce with that clutch...they must have noticed right?! Lol.
Yeah that's crazy on the clutch issue. My ZForce 1000 CVTech setup is absolutely awesome!! I love this damn machine and it's been VERY reliable with 30's on it.
I wish there was as much out there for the uforce as there is for the zforce (aftermarket stuff). I would love to put some portals on the uforce! 😆
Not sure if it's true yet, but ironically I have heard replacing the uforce ecu with the zforce ecu fixes the clutch issue...not sure what the other effects of that would be though, as I'm sure there would be some.
Yeah I've been looking mighty close at portals and gathering all the information that I can and it LOOKS like the portals for the Yamaha Viking would bolt right up to my ZForce. It's going to take more digging and I'll do it when I get a little more serious about it.
I've also heard the same thing about the ECU deal. I wished I had unlimited funds to try all this shit. Haha!
Haha, agreed! Let me know if you get some portals on that beast, that would be sweeeet!
The CVTECH clutch are the best clutch ! PERIOD
This guy rides polaris. Polaris and yamaha have the smoothest clutch engagement on the market. I do agree with you though. I love a strong clutch engagement.
I was looking at buying one of them. What do you think is it worth buying a cheap one or saving up a buying a better one
Kobey, I really think it depends what you are looking for and your budget. They are cheaper yes, but I would absolutely ot consider them a "cheap" crappy machine. I would definitely Co spider buying another one in the future. What you could try is going to a couple dealerships and testing one or two different brands out. Even just sitting on a few and getting a feel for them can help make the decision easier.
In the end though, I guess what I would say is don't not consider the CFMOTO because of the less common name.
Hope that helps! I would love to hear what you end up deciding.
I have a uforce 500 so far so good . I don't like the very low doors.
The under seat storage would be good for an extra battery. For a discount machine, the dash looks good. The grab bar isn't adjustable in our Can Am's either. No biggie. I'd leave the exhaust alone. Quiet is nice. It's not ever going to sound sweet like a V-8. No one will be impressed.
BUT...
Yes I have a couple Can Am's. X-3's (one for me, one for the wife) But they are BIG. I'm looking for a machine with a dump box for around the property, cut wood in the mountains ect.
We can run them on the road here (desert southwest)
If you do another review, please include:
How fast can it go, not top end blow up fast, how fast for extended street use?
What kind of fuel range? (our desert rides can go on for hundreds of miles)
Ease of maintenance. Does the air filter system need to be upgraded? Can Am is now using real Donaldson air filtration with inner and outer elements, same as a Bobcat or tractor.
The same can be fitted to the CFmoto. Does it need it?
How accessible is the belt for maintenance? How much power does the charging system have for lights and stereo?
Stuff like that.
SO far your review is the best I've seen. Sorry for the novel!
Chris! Seriously man thanks for this comment. I love getting constructive criticism that actually goes into detail on ideas to change/include. So please, don't apologize for the novel, I appreciate the feedback (and for the comment about the best review you've seen). I will keep those types of questions in mind for future videos, thanks brother.
@@NavigateOffroad Hey Chris, I'm glad you communicate with your viewers.
When I asked all those questions, I thought that would be a way to separate you from everyone else. Detailed info that people will be glad to hear and they didn't even know it until they heard it! Know what? I trust your opinion!
I'm losing my fear of CFmoto. I don't want to spend too much on a third machine and CFmoto sounds like a good fit. We have a local dealer, Carte Powersports, (Las Vegas) Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, Polaris, CFmoto!
A premium huge dealership selling CFmoto?
What does that tell us?

Have a great day brother...
Chris
This is my second video from you
I had mine for 2 months
What’s the reliability of the engine
So far it has been fantastic. I have talk to a lot of others who agree, but I have also talked to a few that have issues. So far I consider them reliable, but like all other brands there are those that have issues.
How do you only have 1k subscribers?
Wow, thanks for the compliment! I really appreciate that!!
It looked like the storage under the seat was saturated in mud and dirt
Good catch, It was. It's not a water tight area... And we had it in some good mud and water 😆
Lets do this
My concern would be longevity,and resale is poor.
Agree the resale is poor. Then again, the initial price is less as well, so I don't think it's as bad as it seems.
From what I've heard by long term CFMOTO owners, longevity seems to be good.
You look like Kimi Raikonen
Price, no one ever tells the price
Gas tank capacity?
6.9 gallons.
Great review man. My wife has Cf moto zforce 500 trail. I have the 800ex and they are Awesome machines. Top notch. Can’t beat the price. But the dealer network SUCKS ASS. I have a review on both machines on my channel. Feel free to check them out.
It's a utility it's going to be rough riding. It can't have soft suspension
A - arm nuts keep loosening up and falling off. Check them regularly
Harness' on a utility machine? really............ dont you think thats a little much?
Lol, nah. Honestly I despise the standard seat belts they throw on side by sides! Besides you can never be too safe 😆

8:50 cover your a$$ lol
Did he say "meow"?
come on meow Fred, calm down. 😂😂
"Super Trooper"!
Verga soy mexicano y no entendí no vrg hrh
Lamento escuchar eso. No hago videos en español
I was done when I found out it was Chinese..
Stewman milner As a canam and polaris owner, and now a cfmoto owner, in my view the cf is as good as if not better. You might look at where some of the known brands source parts from.....it might surprise you.
More than half of your american made products have at least one part from china
