I love how easy the clutch cover comes off, and how quickly serviceable the clutches are on these. I’ve had a few can am’s and they require special tools
My daughters can am 450 bolt on secondary clutch sheared off just taking the machine out of the garage. The secondary clutch comes apart in several pieces and would be nice if can am made it simple like cf moto. The more I see cfmoto videos the more im leaning in getting one. I have a 2019 can am Outlander Max 2 up, 2020 450 Outlander can am and A 2021 450 Yamaha Kodiak. Each has had multiple problems. I looked at CF moto saw they had lot more options but I did not know the brand very well so I went with the brands that I did know. I probably would have had better chances of buying a family of CF motos. Our riding is just easy trails here in Colorado we don't ride aggressive just put around the trails and enjoy the scenery. Great video thank you for sharing. Love the channel.
This was a great video. I have learned a lot. I just started having this issue right after I put on a new belt. Now because of you guys experiencing this issue and fixing the problem helped me alot. Thanks for the knowledge. Keep posting videos like this. This helps avoid going to the shop and paying alot of money.
Just did the exact same thing to that skid plate today, thankfully my son was following and saw it and I was able to tear it off the last bolt holding it, preventing what could of been a disaster later in the day while taking my 800XC boating
Love these videos Blake, thank you, and kudos to Joel too. I’ve been watching you guys from above the 49th parallel here in Ontario, Canada. You have made me seriously lean towards Cfmoto when considering a new ATV purchase. My current ‘88 Moto 4 Yamaha 225 (2wd) quad will need to be replaced at some point … and the 2021 Cforce 800 XC EPS LX in orange has definitely caught my eye! The more I watch your videos … the more confirmation I feel about going with this brand. You are presenting and representing CFMOTO really well. Congrats on that. You’ve won me over. Just waiting for the right timing to take the plunge into the new quad world. I may even do an online review when I do! Keep the videos coming guys. Love this stuff! From a pal in the North. Joel
I might have to second guess you taking my four wheeler to the mud park now 🤔🤔 But definitely was a good how to video to have out there so I will let it slide 😂
Hey dude, don't know if anyone commented it before-- the way you remove the bearing from the primary pulley, it would damage the pulley conical surface, which is designed for belt and pulley power transmission.
your suppose to press the break pedal at all times when u shift to be 100 % sure the belt isnt turning while shifting :P so i dont think u need to turn it off . just start using the foot break like your suppose to do
Thanks so much needed this for my cf moto 500 I purchased couple weeks ago very helpful !!! I’m going to try to clean bearings out first tho before purchased a new one pretty expensive lol
Such a great video I just bought the 1000 and dis the same thing couldent figure out why that clutch was squealing ! Thanks guys 100 percent the issue snorkel kit for sure lol
On a brand new bike I’m Only asking cause I just bought both primary secondary clutch all new and I’m getting a squeal in park giving it a little bit of gas
Great video!.. but at first i thought you guys had a fix for the jerky throttle, good thing i waited to watch the video before attempting a back flip!I 😅
Not the videos I watch it seems most people use them as submarines. Water holes are hard on any ATV that shit will find a way in sooner or later trust me...
2 things I would have done differently for the video... 1.) Explain why when after Joel installs the secondary and belt and removes the tool from the secondary why he spun it backwards...and always properly torque the nuts and bolts holding the clutch on....otherwise, nicely done!
I definitely appreciate the video but I'm slowly learning that there r a ton of small issues with these machines. I wasn't even in three quarters of the tires deep I mud and this machine did the same thing. Smh, my wife can am 450 with smaller tires had no problem but not this. Cfmoto needs to either fix this problem or lose customer as word gets around
With my 520 is the problem for the bearing too much dust (drive in very dry and dusty area), must regularly open and make everything clean. How do you solve the squeaking brakes? That annoys me tremendously.
I will say I am a Polaris guy but I go to CV tech on clutches they make a hell a good clutch for mudding or general use I put their 32 kit and trail block clutch on a 900 xp rzr and it would sling the heck outa some 32s
Thanks for this video. Can't express enough how helpful this video has been to me. I have a 2021 Cfmoto 500s my daughter rides. The machine does not skip a beat. Goes everywhere my Polaris 850 does. Didn't have a single issue with it until a friend of ours completed ask to ride it and buried it in a large puddle. He hydro locked the engine and made a mess intake and crankcase. After removing the spark plug and pumping the water out via the started the engine fired right up (GO CFMOTO!). I'm on my 5th oil change and still getting water out of the crankcase. But that another story. You mentioned the CForce 500 has a one way bearing unlike your 800, and yes it's about $140. I'm new to one way bearings. Is just the inside notched section supposed to spin? Is it supposed to spin in both directions? Does the new one need to be greased/lubed at install? Lastly how do I know what direction to put it in. I did not see an arrow indicators on the one I took out.
I have a 2021 cfmoto cforce 500 and was trying to figure out which one my one way bearing goes on. Does it spin clockwise or counter clockwise? If you know or somebody else please let me know thanks.
@@RR-po7eb outer race should lock when turning clockwise. At least that’s what I had written down. I actually called cfmoto’s HQ and spoke to a tech. He was very helpful.
Thanks for the videos and effort you put into them… and you might’ve answered this already, but I didn’t read all the comments, what products did you use to clean the belt housing and pulleys?
@Real Talk Powersports I have a 2020 CF 500 and needing a new bearing but I bought a one way bearing and it seemed not to work. So my dad figured it would be the two way bearing. Now I’m not sure which to go for.
Just bought a 1000 and have read in a few places to start bike in neutral not park is this true and can you explain why not park? Thanks guys!! Love the videos sooo helpfull!!!
Judging by how clean this pretty blue ATV was in the shop, I never would have believed it was the same machine shown submerged in the mud. This is the reason I would NEVER buy a used ATV. I would never do that to a machine I just paid 10 grand for, can't understand why so many do, absolute fk'n insanity.
great video thanks, one question, this one way bearing cause some relocking noise when engine speed is near by drive speed (like cases down hill and having some throttle), is this normal hearing relocking noise?
Hello, Im watching you guys from Mazatlán, Mexico, I have a cfmoto 520 L, and it has a one way bearing. ¿Which way should be spinning? ¿Clockwise or anticlockwise?
Hey Blake I was wondering if you guys are going to do some research on if you can replace the one way bearing on the 400,500 or 600 with the bearing from the 800 as long as the inner diameter is the same. Keep up the great work
Im getting ready to move from NC to Maine so i looked up their laws on ATV's and Side by Sides. In the state of Maine you are not allowed to snorkle any off road vehicle. Why would a state say you cant snorkle a ATV or Side by Side??
Hey do you know if the one way bearing for the 600 looks similar to the bearing in this video? I just took my one way bearing off today and it looks like one side is sealed only
If I wanna to get rid of that one way bearing on CF500 (no need for engine braking) , is it possible to order normal bearing? Would fit that one from CF800 or that some model that don't use one way bearing?
I'm still learning about these so please don't drill me. But I want to know if you can put a two-way bearing on the cforce 600? If so, is there a model number for that bearing I can use to look up?
I believe you would be just fine with the stock setup as long as you keep it in low gear everytime you go to climb a hill or put it under any kind of load or bind.. But the clutch upgrade will help if you want it for sure.
I have a 550 the front clutch hub nuts are centre nut undoes clockwise backnut anticlockwise to remove found out the hardway what's your video it was the other way around
Hello, Thank you for your videos, very interesting and helpful, I need you help on a problem that i have with my zforce 950 sport belt, belts keep burning almost every ether ride, can you please can you advise Thank you
Great presentation Blake and Joel. Question that tool that Joel used to separate the secondary clutch what kind of tool was that and can you give us the part number so we can order it. Thanks. Keep them coming. Stay safe.
Ok so I have this problem on my 2023 800 Cforce , right down to the the skid plate 😂 but here is my actual question.. I cannot get the the first bolt off on my primary. Even tried to use a a 32mm wrench and breaker bar with the 18mm and cannot get it to louse. Any Suggestions? (Yes I did note It is Righty Lousy)
I got a 2008 cfmoto 500, I got a grinding issue on cvt. I removed the cvt cover, but the grinding went away. I put it back on the cvt cover, then grinding noise went back. Is there's a bearing on the cvt cover?
hola que tal buena tarde yo tengo un problema con la 500 no puedo retirar el tornilo de la polea me podrias orientar en como hacerlo ya vi varios videos pero no puedo
have you guys seen issues with the belts wearing through the clutch cover. both bottom and top center portions of my clutch cover have worn down to the seal thanks to belt deflection
So after 15 miles of riding, my 950 sport is doing this same exact thing except my machine has never seen water. It was just really dusty. Would that dust cause the same problem? And because it never got submerged, would the warranty cover it?
Daniel i would recommend letting your local shop take a look at it.. you should be covered under warranty if the dealer can find the issue and not see any foul play.
Don’t no if you can help me buddy but I have cforce 550 /600 us I have a wining noise changed the secondary and one way bearing and noise still there it’s on revo going or idle soon as you let rev of terrible wing from secondary but now it’s brand new only thing not changed is the belt! Also does the one way bearing go clockwise or anti-clockwise on the shaft hope you here from you no one in the uk has a clue

Thanks for the video, taught me a bunch about my bike and gave me the “how to” to attempt work on mine. Very informative and greatly appreciated guys.
Glad we could help bro!!
Love my cfmoto but, for positive pressure release they could mount that way up higher. It just has to be slightly below the height of the intake port
Thanks I was confused didn’t know what my problem was with my transmission

No... the bearing being bad has the secondary turning keeping you from shifting, nothing to do with food brake

Hey Blake I was wondering if you guys are going to do some research on if you can replace the one way bearing on the 400,500 or 600 with the bearing from the 800 as long as the inner diameter is the same. Keep up the great work
I believe on the 600 you can take out the one way bearing part of the bearing. I will be doing this to mine this week sometime.
@HeyItsAsmus I looked at doing this on my gen 2 500, I didn't see a way to disassemble the bearing. It has a 1 way sprag in the middle.
Im getting ready to move from NC to Maine so i looked up their laws on ATV's and Side by Sides. In the state of Maine you are not allowed to snorkle any off road vehicle. Why would a state say you cant snorkle a ATV or Side by Side??

That is a Great question.. I personally have wondered the same.. we will look into that a little deeper for more bearing options
what brand transmission belt do you use/ recommend?
Is there a drain plug on cfmoto to possibly prevent that like on Polaris machines
Do you need a new gasket/sealant on the gasket every time you open up or are servicing the CVT?
No sir.. just inspect it and make sure it’s in the groove correctly
is it possible to change the onewaybearing to "normal" or is it essential in the smaller machines?
How do I release its primary internal pulley, the one on the inside belt that grips the crankshaft?
Is the primary and secondary nuts the same on all the cfmoto machines? Gotta change the belt on 2020 cforce 500s
The "rattle" when reved is normal? Mine does that, is that the weights that im hearing? I just recently flooded my box too, and replaced my belt.
Awesome video
Your the man
Hey hope you reply. If I was to go to a 28” tire on zforce 800 trail, would I need to upgrade clutch? Not worried about top end. More climbing. Thanks

Thanks Tony.. I dont know the part number.. but MSC does sell them.. they will be opened back up this coming Monday and you can call and get one
By any chance do you know what size they clutch nuts and bolts are on a 2017 CF Moto z Force 800EX with power steering for the primary and secondary
Ok so I have this problem on my 2023 800 Cforce , right down to the the skid plate 😂 but here is my actual question.. I cannot get the the first bolt off on my primary. Even tried to use a a 32mm wrench and breaker bar with the 18mm and cannot get it to louse. Any Suggestions? (Yes I did note It is Righty Lousy)
Hay if im just reclocking the secondary do i have to take primary off to do so ?
Can you put a one way bearing on a 800 instead to get engine braking on the machine?
What if the secondary does not spin at all when giving it throttle in drive? Primary spins.
I got a 2008 cfmoto 500,
I got a grinding issue on cvt.
I removed the cvt cover, but the grinding went away.
I put it back on the cvt cover, then grinding noise went back.

I have a cf 1000 there is a jump after coming into it just as you take off have you come across this
If its a one way bearing which direction should the bearing spin
Is there a torque spec for the clutches?
What's the little t-shaped tool that you put on the secondary pulley for?
To spread the secondary in order to loosen the belt
