2019 CFMOTO CForce 600 review

My new 600 CFMOTO

[@ionuttarau2161]

Just bought one and done over 30miles today:D couldn't get off . Really comfortable and nice machine

[@deangood8908]

I bought a 2020 400 CFMOTO and I love mine.

[@cwqrpportable]

The engine is loud. I noticed it when you first started driving at the 6:10 mark. It looks like a very nice machine. Congratulations on your new purchase; I bet you're going to have a lot of fun!

[@JonnyHawse]

I've got over 400 miles on it and it has been fun.

[@dblockvillin]

Thanks for the review! Your right about the engine braking my sportsman completely takes over braking soon as I let off the throttle to be about to freely coast is a nice perk

[@tomstockley7055]

The engine breaking system is a safety system so if you happen to go over the handlebars it is less likely to run over you. Not seeing that with this bike.

[@CurtisBlanchard]

I have one of these in royal blue, I love the machine! I am seeing more and more CFMotos out on trails as they become more popular.

[@JonnyHawse]

How many miles do you have on your wheeler? Any maintenance issues?

[@CurtisBlanchard]

@@JonnyHawse 350 no issues

[@vrusman]

Curtis Blanchard do you find it incredibly noisy as if it’s about to explode over 10mph?

[@CurtisBlanchard]

@@vrusman oh yeah shes a bit noisy! Louder then my old Polaris 570

[@JonnyHawse]

@@vrusman no, it's nowhere near that bad

[@tittledieselperformance]

If you want to quiet the noise, take the air box totally out, get some plasti dip or other rubberized spray and coat the whole inside of the box with 2-3 coats then re assemble. It cuts the intake resonance down a lot, it’s just due to the cam profile you hear that loudness and cf products don’t have an intake baffle like most manufactures. I’ve got the 800 and zforce 500, the 500 intake opening was between the seats, the spray trick really helped

[@JonnyHawse]

Awesome. What kind of spray did you use? Would flex seal work? Just coat the entire inside of the air box?

[@tittledieselperformance]

Jonny Rebel yes flex seal is a type of rubber coating. Take the filter off obviously and with the box on a table shoot the whole inside of the box

[@JonnyHawse]

Appreciate that little nugget of knowledge.

[@ryanbudd9418]

I love it compared to everyone I ride with it growls like a grizzley they are always surprised bc of the way it sounds loving the vtwin

[@tittledieselperformance]

Ryan Budd it’s not a bad noise just in some cases that long resonation on a long ride can get old. The Zforce intake being next to you is more the issue then the noise itself

[@josephdenver1612]

Thanks for the review. I have a 2018 Polaris sportsman 570 and nothing but problems. I'm going to look into one of these as a second machine.

[@JonnyHawse]

Polaris makes a good powerful machine, but a good powerful machine that has problems. My 850 Polaris I sold is said to have had front wheel bearings go out. Its always something. I now have nearly 500 miles on my CFMoto and zero problems

[@josephdenver1612]

Fortunately for me I bought the extended warranty on it but, it still has it's quirks. I also saw that CFMOTO has a 4 year warranty on their machines and I don't think you can beat that. I also read that the CF has a higher end clutch system and the extras you get out of the box are hard to beat too. I wish I'd have done my research a lil more before I bought the 570.

[@JonnyHawse]

@@josephdenver1612 the 570 is a good machine, but as I said, a good machine that just has problems. I used to have a Polaris 850 and I loved the ride and the power was awesome, but the CFmoto is a better ride in my opinion. If you want to sling mud and raise hell, the polaris 850 is better. If you want a good comfy ride, sturdy machine w/ lots of extras and still enough power to have fun, the CFmoto 600 all day long. It's not even a question.

[@josephdenver1612]

My brother in law and myself are off to look at the 800 model (for himself) tomorrow. Give us some words of encouragement lol.

[@JonnyHawse]

@@josephdenver1612 you'll like the power.

[@shadeetree11]

Thanks for the review! Not too many out there.

[@JonnyHawse]

I didn't find any reviews by private owners either before I bought. The CFMOTO is fairly new to America but I'm seeing more dealerships pop up so that is good. The only downside is there aren't really any "how to" videos on KZbin yet when it comes to repairs on these cfmoto machines.

[@shadeetree11]

So I decided to get this ATV. I am loving it so far! Just curious, have you installed a street legal kit or plan on doing so? I would like to but not sure what kit to get.

[@JonnyHawse]

No. Where I live there are plenty of unmarked roads already legal to ride on.

[@christate5637]

I bought same one 2 months ago, went to trucks gone wild in Mississippi and rode all weekend with my wife on back. No problems yet, I like it so far. Would like to get some more aggressive tires and some orange rims to match bike. Not sure how big I can go, have only seen a 1.5 inch lift so far. Any links to add ons? Tires, rims? Thanks

[@JonnyHawse]

@@christate5637 I'm not sure if there are kits and such but if you get different tires, stay with the same diameter. I'm not a fan of lift kits. If you want better tires just buy better tires.

[@ArcticExploring]

Great review. Im really happy with my 2018 520.

[@joshr961]

get some videos of it in action. Im looking at the 600 myself been in the market for a minute and I can say I like these would like to see it in some steep climbs

[@JonnyHawse]

Check out my channel for action videos of it

[@D-RAIL_oOIIIIIIIOo]

2:40 Correct me if I'm wrong but the diff lock is only in the rear axle. It doesn't lock all four wheels. Front, I believe, is an open diff.

[@JonnyHawse]

Nope, its a true locker. All wheel drive.

[@versyschris]

Thanks for the review. Leaning to this myself.

[@JonnyHawse]

I sold a Polaris Sportsman 850 to buy this CFMOTO. The 850 had a ton of power, but it broke down left and right. Polaris is also known for its comfortable ride, but this CFMOTO is much more smooth across the bumps I couldn't believe it. Time will tell if this moto is reliable or not, but what you see in the video is all I can go by too being it's new and hasn't stood the miles and test of time yet. I've ran it up easily to 45mph and quickly. I first thought the speedometer was off because it doesn't feel like 45mph. That's how smooth it is. I went from a powerhouse 850 to this 600, and I'm here to tell you that if you want to spin tires and watch the dirt or gravel fly, this 600 will do the trick. I've done it. Hopefully a year from now I'm still happy as I am today. CFMOTO provides a 1 year warranty. Polaris, Can-am, and all the others only provide a 6 month warranty.

[@mikevortex]

Jonny Hawse hows it holding up ?

[@Slane583]

I'm curious as to how well the engines on these new models compare to the older CForce 500-B my friend has. When him and I go riding I ride the CFMoto and he is on his Polaris 570. The power delivery on the Polaris is night and day to the CF, it is much smoother with literally no vibration. But I will agree the CF has a much better engine brake. When comparing the two going through large, deep, mud puddles I say his Polaris floats like a boat and the CF sinks like a submarine and just plows through slowly. On some of the small rock climbs we've gone up he's had to put the Polaris into AWD to get up it where I can usually keep the CF in 2wd. But I think that's mostly down to the "general purpose" tires Polaris puts on their bikes stock. Either way they're both fun bikes, one is just more rough to handle than the other. :)

[@JonnyHawse]

I think the 600 has more horsepower. In comparing the 500 to the 570, which did you think had more power?

[@kevindewey4186]

Hey folks, I just put a deposit down on a 2020 CF 600 2up, can someone tell me what freight and prep costs where on your purchase? Thank you in advance.

[@allaboutwhatever7931]

After 5 years, do you still have it?

[@JonnyHawse]

I do still have it. Exhaust rattles a bit. Since new I had an o2 sensor replaced. A bolt spun itself off the clutch, but that was an easy fix. Other than that, pretty good machine.

[@marklaw9866]

Nice Video Jonny. I just received the 600, have 3 hours on it so far. I have never drove or owned another ATV. I am concerned about the rpm of this one. Is it normal to rev pretty high? Doesn't sound like it changes gears or is this how the CVT transmissions are ? When in High gear it is @ 5,000 + RPM or more going only 20 mph. If this is normal I will feel much better. According to the manual there is a 20 hour break in period where I should not tow or go over 1/2 throttle as well. Your thoughts? Thx !

[@JonnyHawse]

Yes, it does rev pretty high, but that's how the machine is built. Actually, you don't want to ease around all day at low rpm, you'll damage clutches that way. Be aggressive on the throttle. As far as the break-in period...I didn't go by it. I took it easy for maybe an hour, and then ran pretty hard. In my opinion being you have a one year warranty, if it's going to break down you want it to break down in the first year.

[@markl9839]

@@JonnyHawse thx! Seems great so far, I just didn't have the experience to compare it to something else. I just subbed, I appreciate the video. Keep it coming on the cforce....oil change perhaps?

[@JonnyHawse]

Ok, I may do a video on the oil change process

[@MrRumcajs25]

@@JonnyHawse I also have a CF 600. I have a question, do you also hear this knocking from the cvt clutch at idle?

[@JonnyHawse]

No, there's not any knocking noisecc

[@KevinBrueg]

I have i same 4wheeler, it starts up and kills 3times before it stays running. when i shift into low range it grinds. i took it back to dealer twice we will see if they were finally able 2 fix it. only has 53 miles.

[@JonnyHawse]

I experienced the grinding one time and I noticed if you shift into a gear and that particular gear doesn't show being in gear on the instrument panel, it means you're not really in gear and when you go on the throttle it will make a grinding sound.

[@edwinwaern7018]

adjust the gear selector linkage under the left side panel then the machine will shift easier in gear and stay in gear

[@tommycharvel185]

KevinBrueg Same thing with me, they replaced the fuel pump because fuel pressure was low and it still takes 3 times to start and still, has low fuel pressure so they are talking with cf moto to get some ideas.

[@JonnyHawse]

Let us know what the culprit is.

[@KevinBrueg]

@@tommycharvel185 Now they are trying to get me a new one from cf moto. Dealer cant fix this one. this one has 112 miles on it.. cf moto needs to figure this problem out.

[@jamespotwin3488]

Great video Jonny i have bought a 2019 cf Moto 600 and I love it handles very well on the trails. I have 180 miles on it riding trails in New Hampshire . I got it in August used it twice sense 😂 labor day weekend also like all the features that it has . The only thing that i didn't like on the 2 up is the back rest it seems uncomfortable to me so i took it off and put a cargo box with seat and storage . I hope you get to ride more and enjoy it . Let me know how it handles.

[@JonnyHawse]

I've been riding a good bit. Over 450 miles on it total. So far so good. The suspension ride is very comfy although the seat time for the passenger isn't something one would want to go all day on just because the back seat isn't some pristine touring chair. I'm impressed with the 4 wheel drive too. Pulls right out of tough spots.

@nbk. I've had mine reach 60mph fairly easily on a long stretch but once I got to 60, it seemed to be topped out. With a long enough stretch you may pull out 65mph but I imagine that's tops.

[@frankyalvarez7160]

The selling point between the 600 and the 800 is the seat? Is it really that bad that you pass up 200 more cc’s and a load more horsepower?

[@JonnyHawse]

On the 800 my knee hits the shifter panel. The extra power is meaningless if I can't enjoy the ride.

[@ryanbudd9418]

Personally I like the 800 bc vtwin and that hump is held on by a couple screws and straps easy removal if that meaningful

Have close to 600 miles. Still top shape. Haven't even had a flat tire.

[@KriegerKrieg]

The back storage compartment looks like it will last about 10 miles. Is it really flimsy? Cause it looks flimsy, has it even got a gasket on it? I really want to like CFmoto, but I really like my sportsman 570.

[@JonnyHawse]

No, there's no gasket but I haven't had any problems. I like Polaris too. I got rid of an 850 Polaris to buy the moto. Mainly because I liked the seat. I miss the awesome power of the 850 but the moto is no slouch. In my opinion the ride on the moto is much better because its heavier, and the power steering is just right. If price wasn't the issue and I had to choose between the 570 and the moto 600, I'd take the moto all day long. It's not even a question.

[@KriegerKrieg]

@@JonnyHawse that's good to know, the only reason I'm even considering the cforce 600 or 800 is their price over the touring models polaris offers. The 600 is like 2000 less than an eps 570 touring. I am going to head to the cfmoto dealer sometime to compare.

[@JonnyHawse]

@@KriegerKrieg , what sold me on the 600 was the seat because I can put my little boy up front while I scoot to the back and I can still drive. I can't do that on any other 2up model. If riding alone I can scoot further back on the moto 600 which makes it super roomy. If I were riding with another person on long rides and had to sit up front all the time, the 800 moto or 850 Polaris would be my choice.

[@KriegerKrieg]

@@JonnyHawse Well they changed the seat on the 600 to the same as the 800. Still if they are built as well as polaris or close, the value is incredible.

@@KriegerKrieg it would be nice if the seats were interchangeable but unfortunately they're not.
