[@randyhughes2010]

Absolutely one of the BEST video review of a product I have ever seen. Wish everyone was this detailed, clear an concise. Im sold !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU

[@3SeasRecreation]

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@Greygoose3130]

Could not be happier with my 500. Had it for about 8 months - thrown a lot at it and ridden it hard- had been flawless and people complement its look and features all the time (this same blue)

[@jd43jw]

Bought a camo 500. Absolutely love the machine.

[@edgarascernikas2238]

One of the best reviews I have found! Very detailed.

[@3SeasRecreation]

Thanks for checking out our video and I am glad it was helpful! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@jd43jw]

Bought a 2023 500 camo several months ago. Love the machine.

[@mzondi1970]

I had a 2021 Honda Rubicon I recently sold it due to medical reasons I'm battling cancer and my doctors wouldn't let me ride anymore. I loved that four-wheeler it's probably the best one I've ever owned it would go anywhere you pointed it especially when you locked all the differentials. If I get another I may look at one of these still kind of leery about a Chinese four-wheeler I've always own Hondas

[@jaykennedy8306]

Bloody awesome video, cheers 💯

[@xjareed23x]

I like the CF Moto. However I looked at a 2023 priced at 5,449. Out the door price with a. Plow was just shy of 8,800. I was quoted with 600 assembly 450 paperwork, 950$ freight charge. 950 plow installed.

[@1776foreverfollowed]

I was about to go get me a can am outlander but i think im now convinced on the CF moto for sure. I jist need to find a dealer near and hope they have a 500!

[@jackgoldman1]

1250 in rebates on the Cforce now for a 2023. Good deal.

[@DROPTINE]

WOW Impressive machine! I am purchasing 2 of the 500's can't wait!!

[@rjmoose8918]

Your reviews are top notch!

[@3SeasRecreation]

Very much appreciated! Thanks for the comment! Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@DonCurrier]

Just bought a CForce 500, 2023 model, and the manual says to use 89 octane or higher gasoline. Just an FYI since you said you put 87 Octane in the tank.

[@jslz74salazar18]

Same here! Great machine. Great price!

[@mattneily5507]

Yeah here in Canada these bikes are within 1000$ of some big name brands, Can am, Yamaha & Honda all have models around the 9299$ MSRP Pricing that the CF500 has here. I just can't see people giving these a chance if the price is so comparable to other models. I have yet to see a new model Cforce 500 in my local area, and I drive by the dealer everyday on my way to work.

[@3SeasRecreation]

That is pretty crazy, here in the USA CFMotos are selling by the thousands. Keep in mind every brand has parts on their ATVs that are made in China. In fact all KTM motorcycles for the asian market are made by CFMoto in China. Everyone has their own brand they like! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@mattneily5507]

@@3SeasRecreation for sure, I'm not vehemently opposed to Cfmoto, in fact if I didn't get a really smokin deal on an older sportsman I was considering purchasing one of these gen II 500s. I'm just saying here in Canada, when pricing is so comparable to other manufacturers who've gotten serious skin in the game, it's a tough sale. Most cfmoto dealers in my province are also can am dealers, the cfmoto is sold as the budget option, even the new 500/700 outlanders are comparable in price. Personally think the brand has done good things, clearly care about customers and critique their own work. They completely redesigned their small chassis options, and even the older gen 500s some guys in Europe beat & pound on them and their still running with 10-15000kms on them.

[@pierrevilleneuve7130]

I did the comparaison in Quebec last fall. And with a full lock, power steering, winch, closest you get was around 2500-3000$ higher with promo

[@stephenhall5430]

How about grease fittings .have they added any.😅

[@bikerdoubled]

Can I ask since the website don't give an accurate number. What is the actual length of this atv and wide if you don't mind me asking. Trying to find a trailer and if it has to be 8 feet long or not. Thank you.

[@momchilyordanov8190]

Your demonstration is very good. Useful video, thanks.

[@3SeasRecreation]

Thanks for the positive feedback! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@andrejpejovic3245]

im from Europe, where this model is called 520 and you can get it in Long wheel base, comparing it to this looks so funny, because 520L is longer alot and has room for two people

[@jackgoldman1]

Great job. Thanks.

[@ryanbarton-i6f]

what is the little button on the left side of the handbars in front of the headlight switch

[@Greygoose3130]

I don’t have the front bin- but the rear storage bin is excellent- goes on and off so easy- does not rattle or shake while riding- keeps water out completely and is comfortably to lean back against when stopped

[@3SeasRecreation]

Great feedback!! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@WintJames]

Glad u explained this thought the x in the diff lock display was an error of some sort lmao. thank you!

[@3SeasRecreation]

Glad I could help! Have a great day, Jared

[@rzl07375]

Plus the CForce 500 has 38 hp, only one that is close in those competitors is the 450 Outlander which is also 38hp.

[@DonCurrier]

The Honda 700 Rincon only has 38 HP. I know, I owned one. Haven’t changed their HP in that machine in 20 years.

[@outdoorztime2923]

Hey... that's a great-looking machine! I believe it looks just as good as my 2022 Yamaha Kodiak 700 EPS SE. Had I known about these machines, I would have gone with one. Nice run-down on the atv, Sir. In addition to the price differences, the other models are charging us too much on freight. My dealer charged $586.00 for freight right here in the USA. :(

[@3SeasRecreation]

Thanks for the positive feedback! Enjoy The Ride and we will get ya on a CFMoto next time! Thanks, Jared

[@kcrlaterbye]

What is the gray switch on the left hand side where the brake handle is?

[@cappyjpadgett]

Winch control

[@michaelshea5622]

I was skeptical about CFMOTO in the beginning. A friend bought a 2021 CFORCE 800 Touring and showed it to me. It was nice but I figured as nice as it looked with all the goodies $10,000. I purchased a new 2022 CFORCE 600 Touring in May of 2022 WITH a snowplow for $9300 out the door. I couldn't have been happier with it. May of 2023 I purchased a new 2022 ZFORCE 800 side by side and once again very surprised at the quality. I'm thinking this year a new ZFORCE 950. Oh, I'm keeping the other two also. If anyone is watching this and still deciding you can't go wrong with CFMOTO. This is from a former Polaris snob.

[@3SeasRecreation]

Pretty cool story and one that we have heard a lot! We were a Polaris dealer for 25 years and after two years of selling both brands we decided to remove Polaris from our offerings. Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@mooxbleach9073]

Had on 10 months good machines

[@mzondi1970]

Well I've had plenty of time to research and look at dealer inventory slips the ones they will show you anyway this may be listed MSRP of what you said but by the time they add in all their little extras the winch ain't really free nothing is because out the door you're looking at almost $9,000 for a c force 500 and I hate to bust everyone's bubble but there is such thing as resale and trade in value to a customer that wants to buy a used four-wheeler if you're selling yours you will get top dollar for the Honda these don't resell worth a damn my 2021 Foreman was 8,500 I owned it 3 1/2 years and even after some of the rough riding I did I took care of it and still got 6500 out of it

[@DM-tf6mk]

Just bought one today from my local dealer in Colorado. I was surprised when I didn't see the gear select lock after I got home. Called the dealer and was told they stopped coming with the lock on the 500's? No reason to believe they aren't being truthful. I'm just curious for second thought on that. Thanks

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Morning, yes they quit installing those. To be honest the gear locks usually filled with mud and froze up. Not really a big feature for us folks in the USA. Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@DM-tf6mk]

​@3SeasRecreation Thanks so much for reply. Really appreciate it! Keep up the great reviews!

[@joeylazio5989]

Man im sold!

[@3SeasRecreation]

That's awesome! I hope you can end up with a new ATV! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@grunfieldf8694]

U done a good job with the video. Noticed u didn't use 2023 Can-am 500(40hp). Besides Can-am is NOT made in China. Sorry no sale.

[@3SeasRecreation]

Not sure that I mentioned that Can-Am was made in China? Can-Am is now made is Mexico and imported into USA/ Canada. Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@KristianRudi]

What is the strip of light that runs across the back called?

[@3SeasRecreation]

Thanks for checking out our channel! So that is a built in rear running light, not an accessory that can be added. But I guess I would just call it the rear running light/ tail light! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@WintJames]

Does shifting get easier as it breaks in? Mine is new and on a slight incline or decline it is difficult to shift, have to rock it back and forth just to relieve pressure so it can shift properly. Is this a common issue? Thanks

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Morning, YES they do get easier to shift with time. We also sold Polaris for 25 years and it was the same situation... My suggestion is that on an incline to hold the brake before you come to the stop and then make your gear change section before letting go of the Brake. Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@pmaint1]

Just 1 brake lever with no rear brake pedal?

[@TheSkyPod]

What type oil is used on these 500's ?

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Evening, we use the Maxima 10w-40 ATV blend in the shop. Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@TheSkyPod]

@3SeasRecreation The 500's have a dry clutch though. That oil is made for wet clutch. I'm sure it is good for either , but damn that stuff is expensive.

[@michaelferdinand7568]

I wish lol there 9199 in canda same model plus taxes

[@3SeasRecreation]

Thanks for checking out our channel! Exchange rate is not good by the looks of it! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@estherkawinzi]

How I can contact you????

[@rickewing9478]

Cfmoto is actually really good made atvs. I have 2 2022 500s. Glad I bought last year. 2023 colors don't look as good

[@3SeasRecreation]

Thanks for checking out our channel! We agree, CFMoto has been very good to us! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@jordannorman1314]

No they are not. You know nothing at all about parts or you wouldn't say that. It's bs dude.

[@darren1922]

I wish there is available inventory in California. I can't find any inventory anywhere in northern Commifornia.

[@3SeasRecreation]

ATV inventory is very limited right now! Hope you can find one. Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@darren1922]

@@3SeasRecreation dealerships are telling me that cfmoto couldn't import 2023 models to California due to the California Air Resources Board not certifying the 2023 models.

[@biglance2033]

How wide is this machine

[@ExploreBBQinChina]

good question due，a little bit narrow

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Morning, the 2023 CForce 500 is 44.3" wide according to the brochure. Hope this help! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@SonnyVator]

Dude you wont get that good of a deal in Canada, I hear they are slightly lower priced is all.

[@seekter-kafa]

omg in europe yamaha costs TWICE as much cf450 is 6500e and kodiak 450 is 12500e

[@3SeasRecreation]

Man that is crazy but I don't doubt it! Thanks for checking out our video! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@fistcover3831]

Does that price include setup and destination fees?

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Afternoon , MSRP is the manufacturers suggested selling price. It does not include any fees. None of those prices I listed on any of the brands website include the freight fee. However we are a family dealership and we don’t take you to a small office and tack on all kinds of fees. We charge MSRP, $795 freight (we truly pay that) and local sales tax if you are a NY resident. No fluffy stuff. Thanks for asking, Jared

[@fistcover3831]

@@3SeasRecreation that's nice to know! Btw, what are the weight limits on the 2 up ATVs. I can't seem to find that information anywhere.

[@DonCurrier]

I just bought a 2023 CForce 500 in the northeast. With dealer prep/setup and freight fee, I paid $6799 for my 500.

[@Ornelas11B]

@@DonCurrier I called a place in Michigan and they wanted $8,168.27 out the door for a CForce 500.

[@DonCurrier]

@@Ornelas11B Do they think they are Ford and Chevy and marking up the prices to gouge customers too?

[@braydenlowe2024]

They should keep these color options available for several years and not make any updates to the units for a couple years!

[@3SeasRecreation]

YES, we agree! I love the color options currently! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@braydenlowe2024]

​@@3SeasRecreation Thank You!

[@Tigerxx89]

I own one 2021 and two 2022 I don’t see any difference in the 22-23. Other than you get black in 2023.

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Morning, yep the 2022 and the 2023 models are pretty much identical. There just weren't many 2022's out there. Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@rickewing9478]

But then nearly 1000$ set up charges minus tax

[@3SeasRecreation]

Good Evening, not sure where you are located but all of our machines sell for MSRP + only true freight cost. We don't add any other silly fees. I suppose that is why folks make the drive to buy from us! Enjoy the ride, Jared

[@offgridamy717]

Changing gears on a steep is impossible . Known issue and they 'refuse to correct it. It's horrible.

[@3SeasRecreation]

A tip that might help is to apply the hand brake before you try to switch gears. As you are coming to a stop you need to apply the brake that way there is no pressure inside of the transmission. Once the brake is applied you should be able to switch your gears easier. Enjoy The Ride, Jared

[@rameezbashir12]

I need this bike kindly 650cc for India plz contact

They are called atv not etv

Good call!

[@BC_Hunter]

China

[@tylermccool8754]

Just like the phone u are commenting off of

[@paulpryor850]

Best value? I agree that they're cheaper! Unfortunately, that is due from being built in authoritarian Communist China. A country that doesn't believe in fair trade or worker's rights. Every time one of you red blooded American patriots buy one of these CFMOTO machines. You're giving the finger to tens of thousands of fellow Americans. Who will lose their jobs manufacturing other brands like Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha. Moving to Mexico just like CamAm, Polaris and Articat. Value is not just limited to a price point! Justify these purchases any way you want, but don't try to defend a BS position. That one sold out buying a CFMOTO.......

[@tylermccool8754]

Literally 90 percent of what you buy is from china. But fourhwelers is where y’all draw the line lmao

[@Sawyer94..]

1500 less for a china bike no thanks

[@Jtwizzle]

Thats with no winch, and only the model that is next closest in price. Realistically its closer to $2500(30%) less on avg. from the other brands.

[@devn3813]

Most of the competition is $10,000 and these can be bought for $5,000

[@3rdplanetimmigrant203]

nice machine. adding the springs to the rear storage and adding a keyed lock, same as ignition key, to all 3 storage compartments would have been nice.
