I just bought a new stock carry over 2023 CF500, I really enjoyed the set up you showed. I really learned allot about the machine that I know will benefit from. I have limited knowledge of the brand but I have owned several other ATV's, both Polaris and Honda. I would say this rides the best, the power steering, winch, and other included features are awesome and it is far less expensive then Polaris, Honda, and Yamaha. I also love that it comes with a 1 year warranty, I don't ride as much any longer so have the extra months means that next spring if I have any issues it will still be covered. Great job on the video and thank you posting.
Man I'm glad you made this video. I'm really liking the new Cforce 500 but this video really did it for me. Really loved intake locations, the axles and suspension components look to be on par with other manufacturers, the ECU had Bosch written on it, and the entire air-thru cooling design they did with the front grille/vents behind it. If this bike does become yours, you should do more videos like this. Be really nice to know where all the grease fittings are, maybe film doing an overall service on this bike (fluid changes) and include that in it. Can't wait to see how y'all build this machine and beat the snot out of it!
Awesome
Great video, need more like these.
Thank you
Well, we pull the trigger on 2 cforce 500's next Monday (4-10). Couldn't be more excited! We are in our 60's and have ridden quads since '01. Thanks Blake for your awesome vids! Looking forward to the adventures on these 500's !
That is wonderful! Y’all will love them!!
Love the new 500s !
Great video man, love the fact that you walk through everything. It’s made it easy for a person like me who has minimal mechanical expertise to be able to fix smaller issues…👍
I pick mine up in two weeks. Can't wait. This machine looks awesome.
huge improvement on the looks of it! Looks more like a 600 now. Great video
Yes absolutely
Thank you!!
Thanks for the video Blake! Great info and good looking machine 👌
Thank you Jon!!!
Another great video, I wanted to see one being put together. Thank you
Thanks David!!
Love the videos and have been watching them for a while. I bought a 500, a 600 and just had to go buy a 1000 overland a week later. Love these quads! Just learned an important lesson last week..... was riding with the girlfriend and a couple younger grandkids and kinda gauged fuel consumption based on my 1000. We got back just before the 5 and 6 hundreds ran out of gas. Should have known the capacity difference but spaced it. I also have a x3 turbo rr and a rzr highlifter 4 seater in the garage but really prefer riding the cforces. What a ride
That is awesome Jim! Yes there is nothing like riding quads..
You can’t go wrong with one of these units! I picked up a gen2 cforce 400 last week and have nothing bad to say about it! Took it straight from msc to the deer camp and put it to work! Everything works flawlessly! The machine is beyond capable in any situation and you won’t believe how comfortable it is! So far I’ve got 4 hours on it and I’d buy another one right now! Cfmoto is the way to go!
Thank u sir for the business.
That’s awesome to hear!! Thanks Andrew
Impressive fit and finish! Great vid Blake 💥🔥
Yes sir. It is nice.
Bought one November 4 this month same color same year love it with a plow also
That’s Awesome Chad!!!
The build quality is definitely there. Plus it is a nice looking machine.
I sure do agree
Yes for sure.
Some good info. I really want the front and rear bumpers for my cforce 400 gen2, waiting for you guys to get them in stock!
I will post as soon as they come in brother
Blake, your videos are fantastic. Still deciding on which rig to get. 500, 600 Touring or 800... But you give me confidence in the brand
Great video as always Blake! A video you should consider doing is a suspension adjustment video, you haven't done one of those in a long time.
10-4 brother
Nice unit !!!!
Great video!
Thank u sir
Great video
Awesome video! I just brought my gen2 cforce 500 home last week and after watching your video realized my dealer has the shocks on backwards. Got to looking after realizing the front end sits a bit higher than the rear. Only ridden a bit so assuming it won't hurt anything? Guess I need to have them fix it when I take it back in for the plow and hitch receiver install.
Edit: Called dealer and they told me that it was "impossible" as the shocks come installed out of the crate. Gonna use this video as evidence otherwise 😅
Mine were backwards too. I switched them myself as I questioned the ability and knowledge of the dealers maintenance department. My lug nuts could’ve been taken off by hand so it was good that I did it as I was able to torque everything to specs.
Great video cfmoto is under rated very reliable machine much better than that Polaris junk
Thanks bro I agree
Come on bro Polaris is light years ahead of cf moto and far superior machine
@@corey7334 no Polaris is shit
Polar is performance older ones solid. New ones gud minor stuff sumtime
Cf gud lil heavy
Well **** now I'm gonna have to get one of these. A blue one of these would look nice next to my red Zforce 950
No doubt bro
I have a 2022 cforce 1000 and I'd say my biggest pet peeve is getting the cover for the air box and the body mouldings over the air box back on. There are those clips on the air box cover itself and two of them are incredibly difficult to get your hands in a position to put enough pressure on them to snap on. Then those rubber plugs are hard to line up. As a matter of fact all but one are now broken off on mine because when I thought they were lined up I pushed on it and they snapped. That being said, the two slide in tabs in the front and the one push rubber tab in the center by the seat do an amazing job of keeping is secure and looking right. Point being, cfmoto can do a better job for people who aren't mechanics and need to do this type of work in their home garage. Other than that, love the machine.
Yeah ! New video !!
Thanks for watching
Hope you enjoy
Would really like a detailed explanation on the engine break in period just picked up the gen 2 500 this weekend!
Bought the white/black 22 CF 600 , amazing. Don't let Polaris guys steer you away. CF builds quality machines with more for your money.
Nice Video!!! That can be my new job when I move down there! LOL
come on down!
Zforce 800 trail love 😅 🤙🤙🤙 nice video!!
Thank ya
Awesome video!
Thanks!!
@@RealTalkPowersports your welcome!
@@RealTalkPowersports is that your CFORCE 500?
Perfect
Man I want one of these so bad 🔥🔥
They are great
Nice content
Super job! Just have one question...I just picked up a 2021 cforce500s with 23 miles. Love this thing so far, just one issue... I am installing front led pods and cannot understand how to remove fuel tank cover for wire routing. I have everything done but this. Sides, cluster, and pods mounted but need final step
i've been waffling over a gen1 cforce 5oo or the new outlander 500.now i'm reconsidering the outlander for the gen 2 cforce.i need a trail rig.my side by side is going to stay strictly for working on the property for the forseeable future.as soon as i can find a gen 2 i'm taking a test ride.
Heads up, FWIW. We bought a brand new CFMoto 500 less than a year ago. Since the beginning it has had the typical "Doesn't shift into Low without grinding the gears unless you shove hard on the shifter and wiggle your butt fore and aft". Embarrassing when you stop to talk to somebody and they comment on how nice it looks then it grinds the gears after you shift into Low.
So called my dealer about it today. He told me I have to firmly push the shifter all the way forward and then firmly right into it's slot. Then shift my weight fore and aft to make it go into Low. Like that is normal or something. I don't have to do that with other vehicles. Then, even though it's still under warranty, he said that if they had to adjust it there would be an extra charge. (?????)
He had no idea I was the guy that was in recently looking at their full size tractors. That kind of 'service' moves them way down the list of places I'll be buying a tractor.
Otherwise, the machine has been great. Other than a fuel pump that sometimes just doesn't come on when the key is turned on. Unless you fiddle with it a bit.
Again, a great machine except for those small details.
interesting that the air box cover no longer has that tube that we were cutting out on the old 500 and the 600. Wonder if there is even less gains than before when getting a ecu tune.
Nice looking at getting a 2024 haven't decided a 500 or 600 c force
Nice
Blake thanks again for all the CFMOTO content! Would you be able to do a video on the Team MSC front vented and rear windshields for the UForce 1000XL. Looking to buy the set would love to see them installed on a unit. Do you know if they carry any type of warranty?
Thank you so much! And yes I will try to do that as soon as I can for the UFORCE and I’ll try and get you that info as well
i think im going to go buy one
I loved the video , but I would like to know more about the 4 wheel drive and the diff lock.
I'm about to go grab one myself....hoping to get the 600, but will settle with the 500, depending on my financing options..so far it looks like there's not much difference between the both power wise....just a bigger foot print on the 600 and better top end power. Correct me if I'm wrong please
Schönes Video und super erklärt.
Das war sehr informativ.
Etwas hektische Kameraführung und eine Frage hätte ich: wieso wird von einer offiziellen Werkstatt kein Drehmomentschlüssel benutzt?
Ansonsten super gemacht 👍🏼
Grüße aus dem schönen Germany
To get the skid plate off to install the mount for a plow is it the torx bolts you remove? Having trouble getting them out.
Great video and information! Since part of this assembly is electronics do you guys ever die electric grease the connections?
That is something MSC will do upon request during a service but not during assembly
We just bought one of these for my daughter. Build quality is fantastic, ride is pretty good, and thw price was right. Only concern we have, is it seems to run hot. Its always on the bar right before its overheating. Have you all ever experienced this?
Yes that is perfectly normal.
That is the normal operating range.
I’m not sure why the CFMOTO engineers set the temp range to be at that bar instead of one more bar lower.
But it’s normal.. and as long as it goes through the heat cycle and the fan comes on and then off every so often then it will be fine
@RealTalkPowersports yeah, the fan comes on, and it doesn't trunk any different, it just seemed high.
I just saw the 2023 on the Canadian site and the 500 is available in black too.
That would be awesome to see
@@RealTalkPowersports when are the 2023's are suppose to come out for the US?
You guys are awesome! I am getting a 2023 500 as well. In your opinion what is the best color?
Well thank ya very much! Ahh color is going to come down to your personal preference. I like the variety.. choices are good lol
Nice video, thanks for putting these out. The paint quality looks excellent. Are those accessary plugs I see under the LCD display, the gray ones?
Thank you!!
Yes the paint is great! And they have a 12volt accessory hook up and a USB hook up on the gear shifter side..
There is 2 buttons under the screen to change what you are looking at
@@RealTalkPowersports Awesome, thanks. Because of your videos you have me looking hard at these, my favorite dealer here carries them. I was looking at Can Am but that's doubtful now. Hard to pass up what you're getting for the price with CFmoto.
Also, I was referencing the plugs I saw before you mounted up the LCD...I usually install a switched fuse block for mounting things like my Garmin GPS. 👍
I’ve read a lot about tightening all screws bolts due to some problems from factory, do you go ahead and tighten anything you can access while you’ve got it at this stage? Hopefully most dealers do this to avoid problems for new owners.
Yes absolutely.. the guys at MSC go through and check over everything to the best of their ability and make sure everything is good to go before it leaves the shop.
But honestly there are hundreds assembled here at Main Street Cycle and it is not often that they see a actual Issue from the factory
Quick question. My local dealer has 2022 and 2023 cforce 500s in stock. Is there any real difference between the two, other than the difference in MSRP? I’ve had a hard time finding this info. Thank you
Looks just like my 22 500
What color Gen 2 did you get?
@@RealTalkPowersports the blue one still getting used to it running warmer than I'm used to it always cools back down though
What is the difference between the CF500EPS and the CF520EPS? Hi new to your videos, great info.
Does it come with the 2" receiver?
just got mine and the rear break feels soft the dealer said it need to be used or he called it burnished and it will stiffen up. is that true?
It appears to be a lot different than my 2017 CF Moto 500 HO.
Yes it is different from the ground up
is the new zforce 800 2023 trail coming to you or is it only for Australian market?
I sure hope we see it in the US too
Love the Gen 2 better than my Gen 1. Blake, Could I mount an after market back seat lounger on the gen 2. I am gonna trade my gen 1 in but I want to keep my seat lounger and mount it on the gen 2 but I don’t know if it would be feasible. Thank you
You will just have to get creative on how you mount it.. but I believe it can be done
@@RealTalkPowersports Thank you 🙏 Love you’re channel. Been keeping up with it for a long while now!!
do these quads have lube points for the A-Arm bushings
We are coming down to yall next Friday to buy a 500 is that blue available??
Yes sir I saw one today that’s not sold.. but you may wanna call and lock it in
Hey Blake - went to our local CFMoto dealer and am really interested in a 2022 Cforce 500. Why a '22? Because the '23 colors couldn't be any worse. Plain Jane ala Honda, Polaris and all the rest. Giant step backwards imho. Man, whye did they do that???
They went from painted plastics to something else on the 400 and 500 this year and I’m not happy about it either
One thing you omitted was the fact the Gen 2's don't come with the hitch receiver mounted. The dealer needs to submit a service bulletin request to CFMOTO for the part and install it themselves.
Yes this is true and cfmoto is fixing that on the 2023 models.. but I’m glad they are at least making it right by sending the dealers a hitch when customers request it
How much is the new 500 in camo
I don't see a 2" hitch receiver installed on it, I believe all 2gen 500 should have one, didn't you guys get one or you just didn't install it? Asking because I bought 500 a few days ago, and my receiver is missing.
I have to request it.. your dealer will get it for you if u ask
I just text MSC and they ordered one for me. It was here in less than a week.
I am intrigued by the fact that CF Moto can offer such a well equipped ATV at such a reasonable price point, but can someone please tell me why the towing and rack capacities are so much lower than any other manufacturer?
This is totally my personal opinion on this topic.. but I have noticed that CFMOTO has chosen to be very conservative on their “Specs” or “Numbers”
As where other manufacturers try to really Stretch the limits to claim as big of numbers as possible… cfmoto remains conservative on their spec sheets.
From personal experience, I’ve never had my cfmoto ATVs not be able to handle anything that my other Polaris and Hondas could.
So I’m very pleased with them
Would you guys recommend a customer who buys the machine to put it together or would you recommend the customer to have the dealership to put it together?
Let the dealership do so
Is there a Gen 2, 600 and 800 with the better heat shields?
No.. the current 600 was redesigned in 2020 so I imagine it will remain the same for a couple more years.. and the 800 and 1000 will remain the same for a couple more as well
hello when the next gen cf moto atv starts
I am trying to decide 800 or 1000
What does the 600 look like? Does it look the same? The 600 is what I'm looking at
Do They make a gun rack for the plastic railing system?
Yes sir sure do
@@RealTalkPowersports
I’m thankful for your help. looking into one for plowing and hunting

Fully charging the battery before installation will make it last a year longer
The batteries are charged before they are installed.
2019 zforce 800 from msc… still have protective screen on gauge. Lol
😂 haha that’s awesome!! Still like new under there
Someone confirm the shocks placement for me, the cone shock with the neck is on the front of my machine and this video says it should be on the rear..?
Same with mine. I think the cone one does go in the rear because mine has two markings on the shock that matches two markings on the upper rear tab. It makes sense
I just swapped mine. The shocks are labeled on the bottom with a F or R for front and rear. I searched the part number and yup, the dealer installed mine wrong.
*Who is a fan of Cfmoto*
Is this a 2023 or are those unreleased
The one in the video is a 2022..
But the 2023 will see no changes other than a different color option
Why does that 2023 look different from other 2023 that i have seen, as far as the gas tank and intake and so forth, i would have thought all the 2023 would have looked the same?
who have interest in a 500 or a 600? no one it is the 1000 who are interesting!
The 500 and 600 out sale the 1000 by a huge margin..
I am personally most interested in the 1000 but I’ve got to show some love to the smaller bore ATVs too lol
"WE do it for the people" nope... 🤣 you get not the main panel on so you make a cut 👍 2/10. You don't use a torque wrench because not all people have one... of course but if they don't know how tight is tight it doesn't help. You steering the atv with this peace of pipe it is absolutely important to use the torque spec 0/10. People think professionals don't use a torque wrench because they are professionals... no professionals use all the time a torque wrench because a professional work or build ist the consistency and perfection on every step every part.

💪👍
I just watched you assemble a blue Gen2 is 500. I’m still waiting along with a lot of other people who own the 600s on how to take the plastic off of them so they don’t have to take it to the dealership to put their spark plugs in. What is taking so long? I’m becoming a real unhappy subscriber to your channel along with a lot of other people. Just can’t understand why it takes so long to show in detail how to take the plastic off the 600s. Mike Holmes
Mike your the only one that has requested this video.. and I’ve said that it is on my list to do. I have hundreds of other request as well..
I’m waiting for the right 600 job to come into the shop so we can film a good detailed video for you.
Oops sorry.
