#66 2021 CFMOTO UFORCE 1000 HIDDEN GREASE ZERKS.

[@rickdavid1795]

Just got my 2023 Uforce 1000 yesterday. I’m going over this machine with a fine tooth comb. Thanks for your tips and tricks. Please keep them coming.

Congrats! They're great machines. I just recently sold mine because I just didn't use it around my house for working like I thought I would. My tractor does everything I need in that category. So I bought a 2023 cfmoto 950 ho ex. My uforce was just too rough riding, trying to keep up with my friends who have sport machines. My largest complaint with the uforce is the rear diffs are always locked, not exactly ideal for carrying weight in the box, and the service points are a pain to access. The oil check, filter, and tranny oil are buried. Thru should've located the battery under the hood.

I think all CFMOTO's have grease points behind the back tires. I take off my tires to get to them, but yeah it is a pain. I have actually plans to make a short video doing some maintance on my machine, greasing and washing + more.

[@ironheadbiker]

I was wondering about that. Figured they probably did on other models as well. Thanks for the info. One thing for sure, you can inspect your brakes easily

[@treethompson]

Hey do you happen to have a video showing all the grease points? Or does the manual show them all? I went through my manual yesterday and didn’t see a page showing all the grease zerks unless I passed it up and didn’t notice. I just picked up a 2022 Uforce 1000 and wanna make sure to hit all the grease spots good before I ride it too much. Thanks for all your informative videos. I’ve watched a lot of them!

[@ironheadbiker]

Sadly it doesn't, but I have a video showing the hidden ones. I replaced the zerk with what I called an 8mm zerk, but it's actually a 6mm zerk, uses an 8mm wrench. 45° so you don't have to remove the wheel and drop the top A arm. The rest are quite visible. I'm going off of memory and guessing 16-18 zerks. Mostly in the rear end. Front I believe only have 4 or 6. On the hidden rear one, use caution to not get any grease on your rear brake disc.

[@treethompson]

@@ironheadbiker thanks for the quick response. I appreciate that! I’ll probably swap out those hidden zerks for easier access.

keep up the good work, and keep the informative videos coming!

[@ironheadbiker]

Will do and thanks

[@unclebuck5957]

I found those total of 18 zerks on my u800 the same on the 1000

[@ironheadbiker]

I'll count mine. I love there's 18 zerks, but finding them is another thing

[@unclebuck5957]

@@ironheadbiker I had a flat when I brought my u800 home removed tire found them tire had loose valve stem

[@PsykoHoneyWeed]

Only 16 on 1000 uforce

[@unclebuck5957]

there was no grease in mine if any very little in all 18

[@ironheadbiker]

Wow. Did you know about them before my video? Just curious

[@rayellis1811]

Zero? Are you trying to say alamite?

[@ironheadbiker]

Not sure what you mean, zero?

[@ironheadbiker]

Ah gotcha. We called them grease zerks. The fittings. I also had a "couple" brews in the system at the time. All good my friend!

[@thomascornelius510]

Pull the tires off. You can really get everything cleaned up that way to.

[@ironheadbiker]

I agree. I will continue to use a 90 fitting just to keep the mud out, but I like breaking everything down to better inspect, cv joints, brakes, calipers, rotors, and anything else I can see
