- If you were like me I was searching for videos reviewing this ATV before I pulled the trigger to purchase it. I wanted to go over what I thought was good and bad so you can make an informed decision on the machine you are buying.
They actually did not steal the designs, they have a very big design group and are actually building bikes for KTM to distribute through the Eastern European and Asian markets . They are now partners with KTM to supply the 390 and smaller bike engines and the new V-Twins for KTM going forward. There are some older videos of them visiting the CfMoto factory on CZcams.
Excellent info Ronin. I stand corrected. Thanks for watching!
They actually produce 240k engines for the European market and KTM is one of them. There is a good factory video from minnesota that tells all.
Great info, but where did you find them? Can we trust on them? Thank you
Greetings from Wisconsin! I Just found this channel, I appreciate your mechanic experience. I've driven semi truck for 30yrs, many loads delivering atv/utv. We would go all over the country delivering them from the manufacturers, (this is how I learned Can Am side by sides come out of Mexico, the side by sides El Paso, and water craft Laredo) so one day I'm loading in northern Minnesota and I see 6 crates outside the aren't that manufacturer's machines. I asked the loader, he said, we tear down the competition's machines to make sure we don't get left behind with new technology. You probably know this too, but just in case it's your 1st time plowing with a winch, keep checking your cable, they eventually fray from the same spot bearing the weight of the plow. Obviously depending on frequency of use. Here in Wisconsin I loved the plow on my side by side, but every 2 yrs I'd cut the cable and shorten it to "fresh" cable, as the 1st time I didn't, I was away and the wife was plowing, and it broke, which is a bad deal. Lol. The strap on the winch is a "finger saver". There is a horrible old video of a guy helping his buddy winch a truck, I think, and he grabbed the hook and his buddy winched the wrong direction and his fingers got wrapped around the spool. I have a UFORCE 1000 I just bought and am very harpy with it, but my hood was a challenge, because it's not in the owner's manual, and my dealer said it's tricky, leave it alone.???. But I figured it out from a picture of one in a crate with it off, then posted a how to video. I think they're great machines. Awesome price. But it takes a "community" of owners sharing tricks, knowledge, and experiences to make up for the "all alone" feeling you can get on parts or accessories, or questions. Sorry so long, lol I've the gift of gab.
Interesting comments. i definitely noticed some wear on my winch cable and that was only with 3 or so plows (got the atv and snow plow late in the season). I do love how helpful the community has been. It was my subscribers and comments that allowed me to fix a shifting issue I had from new. I feel like we are all part of a new wave with these machines. They are definitely picking up in popularity, because the people have a voice and they want more CFMOTO off road machines. As the groups continue to grow, I think we will see a stronger brand reputation and there wont be as many naysayers. These bikes are solid and Im looking forward to see what others can do with it. I see some people on youtube already pushing the machines to their limits. Maybe I’ll have to just send it!
Educating and entertaining! Thanks for providing an unbiased review, a hard thing to find nowadays.
Glad you enjoyed it Ty!
I too was lost when i bought my two 600 2 ups in november. I am looking foward to you pushing more videos out... very well done.
Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome! Love the initial with this chabel👌 I just got my cforce 1000 last friday will defently make alot of videos on it.😁
Lots of fun ahead for you my friend!
Hi CFMOTO MAN, great video, I love detailed reviews like this. Thought I share some insights. About brakes, it is more common for atvs to have only three brakes, two on the front on each wheel and one on the back, on the propeller shaft. One is sufficient, since rear differential is always in full lock. Hence, when you apply rear brake, even it is only one, both wheels are breaking. On some ATV, like 625, that is not the case, because some have open diff with option to lock it. Because of that, two brakes are needed at the rear, one at each wheel. About air filter and air inlet, that inlet that you found under the seat, that is the air inlet for air filter and leads to the engine. Air inlet at the front of atv is for cooling the CVT. CVT also has air outlet that goes to the back of the atv, exiting in the rear left wheel arch. Regardless, this is one of the best reviews I have found on youtube for this atv, hope there will be more and keep up the good work. Wish you all the best.
The hand brake which is usually on the left is your 4 wheel brake and the foot brake is rear only.
Help On Sticking Gear Changes - Our CForce 450s Quad supplier here in Greece recommends a quick blip on revs from accelerator every time you change gear which helps the CVT belts to engage easily (no clutch to help here!) which my son has tried and it works well.
Nice job ! I just got mine yesterday . Bought it for snow plowing my driveway and I have absolutely zero experience with quads at all .
Nice, what plow did you go with?
PS if you go with the Kolpin Switchblade I have another video showing where to attach the universal mount.
@@cfmotoman1270 I went with the open trail by KFI , it was what the dealer recommended ( it’s bigger and sturdier than I expected , pleasantly surprised! )
From what I found out, the relatively inexpensive clutch upgrade can solve the issue with the lever not moving easily. Something to do with the clutch wheel still spinning, even though you're stationery. When you get the upgrade kit it makes it smoother on the pull off and should solve the gear lever issue too.
Front brake is actually the most important of all. As with any vehicle the front brake does 90% of the work. When you try to stop momentum pushes the front down and lifts the rear up. When you see a vehicle lock up its brake and the rear end swings out it is because it has broke traction and wants to continue forward. It's explained more effectively in most motorcycle training manuals.
cant wait to hit the trails wit ya
It's gonna be a great year for trail ridin' budday!
I bolts for the plow mount are very likely to ruin the frame tubing. Supply Mount for my Yamaha Grizzly had four u-bolts and I torqued them to specifications which is I believe 18 ft-lbs and by the second season they had kinked my frame.
CFMOTO used to be real junk but they've had a long time to improve. I think what we are looking at here is the Hyundai of ATVs. I think it's feature packed, priced well and will just get better and better and better. My next ATV is going to have to be the two up and I would consider this.
good job love it
If you buy a KFI plow it comes with the mount that fits the machine and bolts into the frame. That’s what I have on my 800
Your manual transmission motorsports toys have the front brake on the right because clutch is on the left. This makes it seamless for guys used to that. But yes, different than a lot of the other utility quads. Just a preference
Helpful information. Thanks for watching!
Hey, I heard that u hold the foot break before shifting. And it will shift smoothly
i just bought one a 600 touring i like it
Gary, that is great news! Any issues so far for you?
The brakes are not controlled by the foot pedal… it’s the the “brake” handle on the right side of the handlebar.
Hi from Barry in Spain, been checking out the videos on the 600, CFmotos, yours was very informative but no one has mentioned turn indicators and also cannot see them on the quads surely them with them? Thank you
Idk, atleast in europe every cfmoto atv has them.
Cfmoto has been in business for 28yrs they have been predominately been in Northern Europe.
What size and make of battery that is in the CFMOTO CForce 600 ATV?
Totally new to ATV’s and got 3 miles on it, and gonna do a review. Alrighty then.
Hi CFMOTO MAN. I am seriously considering buying a CForce 600. My land has a lot of really steep trails. Do you think the CForce 600 would be good for driving up lots of steep (20 degree plus) inclines consistently?
Yes sir! While I think any ATV will be put to the test on your land, you won’t be disappointed with CFMoto. Hills are no problem with its wide body and long wheel base. If you take care of your ATV, it will take care of you.
I have an older 2014 CF Moto CForce 500 I got off of a friend and it came with the same tires as yours. Be it they're a bit worn since it was new, but you'd be surprised at what kind of mud they've gone through. My friend and I tend to ride up in the flat-rock here and it's had no problems doing the rock climbs that are on some trails. We've also encountered ground on some trails the further into the woods you go that looked like it was solid but the moment you start driving on it you'd sink in. His Sportsman 570 got stuck and would spin, but stick the CF in four-wheel and put on the diff, it would chug through it like an old tractor. But it's like driving a school bus with the diff on, luckily it's only used for just-in-case moments. I need to get a new fuel pump for it to get it ready for the season though. It's been well loved since it was new so things are bound to break eventually.
Some new tires are also needed as well. Besides that it has tons of compression and runs good when it's getting enough fuel. We changed out the original diff fluid a couple of summers ago and replaced it with Royal Purple, if it can be ran in a pickup it should withstand an atv just fine. If there's one bit of advice I can give it's not to skimp on your engine oil and oil filter. Get the best you can afford. I like to run AmsOil in my machine which tends to go for $13 a quart, but it's not like you're changing the oil every week. $30'ish for two quarts and a good filter is a small price to pay to prevent engine problems, especially while riding on hot summer days. Other popular brands are Klotz, Red Line, Royal Purple, Motul, and so on. Real Talk likes running Maxima oil in his CF Moto's. :)
Wow 🤩 thanks for the advice Slane. Thanks for watching!
@@cfmotoman1270 No problem. As long as you're not trying to go through a nasty swamp like we did you should be fine. My friend and I tried that one summer before I acquired the CF off of him. The trail just looked a little wet with moist ground. That was a big mistake. His Sportsman lightly struggled to go through and the CF just hung up and dug in. We were stuck there all day since we don't have the right stuff for traveling those kind of trails. It works great chugging through the muddy trail my friend got stuck in. But the swamp will swallow everything that goes in it. :)
Hi whtat do you think about CF ATV Quality? I have listening good thinks about it
@@santiagogamboa4484 Hello. I think it's a good machine. But my CF Moto is also a 2014 so it is a much older model year. Fit-And-Finish is also a bit more crude compared to the new ones which are much nicer. Mine is also less friendly with simple routine maintenance such as oil changes. There are panels on mine you have to take off with a small wrench before being able to twist off the oil filter. The same panel on the new machines just pop off with a light tug.
@@Slane583 thanks
Just bought mine at 2 Jack's.
I find that if you hit the gas a wee bit when shifting it helps, but I'm just a hill Billy.... like I had loads of issues with the shift lock sticking ... so I took a hammer and said bleeping pos as I hit it good one time ... issuse fixed and it hasn't had problems since lmao
Favorite comment haha
Big Likeeee!!!!
Im waiting for mine to arrive to Greenland in about a month or two. Cant barely wait
Awesome dude! Which model did you buy?
@@cfmotoman1270 625 Touring. It will be interesting, as we dont have dealers nearby in Greenland. Im getting it from Denmark
@@uangakisima Let me know how you like it!
@@cfmotoman1270 Sure will
@@cfmotoman1270 I had to cancel my purchase of this atv. The dealer is not to get in cantact with. Its been a while, since I payed for it, its not shipped yet, and the dealer is not responding. Imagine I need spareparts... Im going for a Honda Foreman...
i have the cforce 800xc, CFmoto has paired with KTM to put there motors in these atvs
I certainly don't mind reaping the benefits of their offspring! How are you liking the 800xc?
KTM makes a great 800 - I got one on my xc BUT remember it is a double cylinder so it is not as smooth out of the gate as a single
Runs great tho - love my CF800xc
4:40 slight incline and can't engage to any other gear, I wonder if it's a safety?
I agree with “Ronin” , steal is a strong word. Incorporating designs from competitors is common place across all industries. Why reinvent the wheel so to speak. Not bad first attempt at vid though, I like delving into the internals of machines.
I agree JS. Makes perfect sense to use the best designs in the R&D. Anything else you would like to see on this ATV?
Pretty sure he said he read it on the enternet ladies
Hi
Thanks for review.
The cf did not came with small tools like the other arv
Hi Itzik! Thanks for the sub. There are tools for minor repairs included strapped to the underside of the seat.
Mine did !
Hey Cfmotobro
Go to your local pet store and look in dog chewy toys - Tonka makes a tough round rubber ball w hole thru it that works awsome for winch stop and hand grip - fits tight in the rollers - let you figure how to put it on - Happy Trails
Have a strong desire to buy one. Will have to sell.my King Quad first. I saw the dealer tag. NEPA guy?
Yes sir! Anything else that you’d like to see on the machine? Open to future video ideas.
Are you still happy with it? I’m debating between the 600 and 800 for snow plowing and work around the house. Do you wish you went with the 800?
Still very pleased. I plowed last winter. I do work around my house. Ripped out a tree the other day. For these two things, I think an 800 wouldnt be worth the extra
There is a a linkage adjustment u can adjustment for that to stop happening.
any recommendations on how to best adjust the linkage?
@@cfmotoman1270 The guys from main street cycle can tell you. I posed that question to them and they told me about adjusting the linkage. The shifting lever seems to have that problem on a few models.
@@fabioforni5722 Thanks Fabio! I’ll take a look and report back. At this point I’m willing to try and adjust anything.
@@cfmotoman1270 good luck
They didn't steal anything from KTM. Cfmoto makes engines for some KTM machines. Also KTM doesn't have 4x4 atvs so what could cf moto steal if it doesn't exist
any link to other channel you are talking about? I only know Real Talk Powersports. Which other you mean?

I have exactly the same one ☝️
my is in mud ...
One major issue is 4 by 4 only . It won’t disconnect front axle for some reason. I will visit dealer soon
Does anybody have a problem with the low gear grinding to go in gear mine is a 2022 and already had it in shop for same problem they said it was a belt issue being frayed with only 16hrs on it this shouldn’t be a issue already
Does your model have high rpms when your going at low speeds even into 15 mph? From what I have heard it's normal. Just how the machine is designed.
Hi storm, yes the rpms do seem to run a little high but I believe this is normal.
@@cfmotoman1270 normal to CF Moto but not to someone who has driven a atv for 20 years! just bought 2021 600 Camo 2up
love the machine but hate the ride!
Idle 1400 RPM 2300rpm to move 4000 rpm 8mph 5000rpm 11mph!!
rough ride vibration at low speed most of my riding is under 20mph
everyone who drives it says same thing is it in LOW!
Any Help?
I see were you bought the machine I live in same area waiting for them to get 800ex in
Exciting! It was hard to find a 600 touring anywhere. I called 5 dealers until I found one in stock. What color did you go with?
@@cfmotoman1270 800 uforce the orange
Where in luzernze county do you live? Just bought my kodiak 700 from two jacks.
I don’t live in Luzerne County. I live about an hour away from two jacks. They were my closest dealer. How was your experience with them?
Coz its an automatic, u hav to push the footbreak to be able to shift
true but only on certain models. Does not apply on this model. :)
they are just fancy Chinese quads. (Update) even tho they are Chinese I was recently out riding and met with a guy that had the little 2020 400 cfmoto and he was beating the shit out of it. Jumping it attempting hills that were way to big it didn't make it but it tried. If they can handle that kinda abuse they aren't a bad budget quad for people getting into ride a good bang for the buck.
haha
Question on the plow...did they tell the mount was "specific" to your bike? Or was that mount a universal version? I'm looking at the Koplin plow as well for my 800, but the gentleman is telling me the plow mount is "specific for my bike", assuming he means it fits in only 1 location properly. Thoughts?
My Koplin Switchblade came with a universal mount. I found the best price on the Cabelas website. I currently have it mounted with 2 U-bolts, drilled holes through the plastic skid plates for the U bolts to slip through. It also comes with some extra brackets if you want to mount it to the frame further back, but I determined this was not necessary since I liked the stability I achieved with just the 2 U-bolts. Next year I plan on replacing the zinc coated U-bolts with stainless steel, for an even sturdier and durable fastening. I plan on moving the bracket about 1 inch back due to some rubbing I am getting from the front left tire when I turn hard left. This should solve the issue easily. It sounds like a great idea for my next video.
Thanks for watching!
@@cfmotoman1270 That would be a killer video. I know a lot of people are wondering about plows for the newer CFMoto's.
@@evgeek2453 Filmed the vid. Editing soon. Stay tuned.
@@cfmotoman1270 Rock on man! I'm noticing one thing about that universal plow...it seems that the bar hangs down horizontally for several inches, reducing ground clearance. Essentially acting as a mud or snow scraper an inch or so below the bikes actual ground clearance. I see that as an issue for some guys. It sounds like they had a "bike specific" mount but had some problems with it (per the rep). I'm going to keep my eyes out for a flush mount bike-specific version as well. Something where only the attachment points hang down.
@@evgeek2453 video posted. check the channel. at most, the mount decreases ground clearance by about 2 inches where the attachment points come down. The attachment points are less than an inch wide each side. Not a huge deal unless you plan on hitting some pretty rocky trails. Mount is also easily removed if need be. If you wanted to do away with the 3/4 inch flap that hangs down horizontally across the mount, take an angle grinder to it.
The gear shifting is hard because you "must" use the foot brake so it unlock the gearshifter problem you talk about why it is like that i have no idea maybe a security option i dont know but it is stupid i mean! So push the foot breake down and you can shift gear with out any problems, it is better folk learn about this befor they buy a atv then i never thinked about it but i so several videos and i read about it so i know i must use the breake to shift gear so i had no problem what so ever on this issue!
How fast does it run?
I have gotten it up to 60/65 on flat payment. After that with those types of tires I feel pretty unsafe
I got one question why do you have gloves on.
so I don’t catch COVID from CHY NA
Where is the battery?
Under the seat
Are there any grease points in the front? Been looking all over for some and cant find it
No grease points in the front :)
Ok… i feel like i know everything i need to know now! ????????
Can you tell me price please please

Considering the next shipments of this model were not available until May or August from 5 other dealers, I don’t regret buying from them.
Yeah… just rip the plastic body pieces off the machine , it don’t matter if ya break the plastic pieces off … who cares!
I hope you never own car!
Chinese crap, everything falls apart , in less than 6 months, it looks nice on presentation but it's totally Garbage 🗑😅, my own experience it's really worst ATV I ever purchased
Please share! What fell apart?
All must everything, handgards , internal pins, from the seat, paint was fade in , in a couple months of washing it, tires are very cheap ones, and it have a very particular sound on the motor and cut, very very annoying
@@javiersevilla3078 did you snorkel it
Not my experience here in the U.K. I have a 2014 model and it’s been great I’ve owned it from virtually new (150 miles) only needed new battery and brake pads so far. 👍🏻🇬🇧
@@remo900rr No offense man, i own a 850xc for 5 months, its about maintaining it. You can't except for it to hold good if you never wash it in time, never grease it,etc. Mine still looks like brand new even though i have 11000km's on it (680miles) and had no issues with it. Its also about community, do you think that can-am's dont have chineese parts on it? They do, and they're not crap. Search up on real talk powersports to see, a cfmoto 500 won a race against a yamaha grizzly 600 or 700, and the 800xc won mud races against outlander 1000. And also, the 800xc they used in mud racing has only seen nothing but abuse and never broke down.
