Got. Cforce 500, wouldn’t swap it for any name brand atv. It was less expensive than any of the name brand machines and had more options!

[@rzl07375]

Good points, feel the same about my 600, great value.

[@whiterhinooutdoors4572]

I bought the overland few weeks ago haven’t been able to ride it much injured my shoulder but so far I like it

[@tinkertrek]

I have a 2021 just like yours. I’ve never had a problem with it. Would definitely recommend it if you’re in the market for a ATV. And yes it’s one of the most comfortable atv’s I’ve ever rode.

[@markremillard5135]

I had my 600 for 3 months. I have a thousand miles on it no problems at all

[@darrellmcquay9808]

I would hope even the worst Chinese quad out there would last a measily 1000 miles, let me know when you hit 15,000

[@markremillard5135]

@@darrellmcquay9808 Well since polaris looks like cheap junk I'll stick with the chinese

Ive had mine 2 1/2 years with 3500km and no problems

[@ArcticExploring]

I have had my 520 for almost 6 years now and I still love it. Have been looking into getting 2024 Cforce 625 since they have improved a lot with it. It is really easy to change the winch wire for syntetic rope, it is done in like 15 minutes. Way easier to work on than can-am.

[@ABAconstruction]

Looks sweet

[@MichaelSee-ws5kx]

Thanks for the review looking into a atv had a utv.

[@vincentjatkoo]

Bought the 850 and have been plowing old fields with horse equipment, pulling small trailers with wood and alot more. Could not be more satisfied with it. Granted, I baby it other than with the field plowing and trailer pulling and dragging trees around. Well. Ok, I don't baby it when reading what I am writing, but I am careful when I work. That said, have not had an issue. Love it. Love it!

[@SixFiveReviews]

Ours gets some similar use with doing food plots the one big value I found is I can take everything with and have a work space when I’m in the middle of not where just by dropping the tail gate

[@bjmcfarland1]

We have a CF Moto 400 which we got in April 2020 and put 1,000 miles on it in two summers. We should have more but the fake virus and increases of gas we haven't been able to go up north for two years.

[@bigjay6743]

My 2021 600 had more miles on it in the 1st month I bought it Almost 5000 miles on it now. On my second belt And I only put that on a few weeks ago And honestly if I put it in low gear more often it probably would have been fine for time yet. No major problems just your basic maintenance But I do think I have a front wheel bearing starting to go And I think it could use a few new bushings Besides that👍👍👍

[@SixFiveReviews]

That’s awesome you have put some time in that machine

[@Vodafone16v]

What do you mean by "on your second belt"? I am looking for an ATV and this one has definitely caught my attention. The transmission being a CVT... is it something I should worry about?

[@pmaint1]

Have you replaced your bearing yet and were the parts readily available? Thanks

[@Mainly-boy-outdoors]

I've been looking at both the Polaris and the CFmoto I'm seriously thinking about going with the CFmoto 600 I've decided if worse comes worse ill settle for the CFmoto 500.

[@scott.baierscott2198]

Yeah Polaris seems to hav3 fallen off alot in recent years. Unless you spend 200 to 300 for oil changes from dealer you have no warranty on a Polaris. Might as well save the money and go cf moto. I've decided on a cfmoto ad well

[@SixFiveReviews]

My neighbor has the 500 and loves it. The 600 was just a touch taller and worked better with my height

[@jeffvermeylen4238]

​@scott.baierscott2198 I've a bud with a sportsman prolly 2 years old.... What a lemon..... wouldn't even take one for free... I used it once, I rode double with someone else after about 14 miles.

[@scott.baierscott2198]

@jeffvermeylen4238 that's what alot have said.. sad because late 90 early 2000s Polaris was great. At this point save the almost 5 to 7k and get a cfmoto. I can almost get a 1000 and a 600 for the price of a 1000 Polaris. I'm sure a dealer probably would with 2022 models

[@markremillard5135]

The Polaris is really look like junk alongside the cf. Motors. I am sold on cf. Motors.

[@michaelangelod5008]

My gf has the 2021 touring extremely slow the speedometer is wrong by 5mph when tested with gps going 40mph sounds like it wants to blow up recently it started leaking oil plus struggling to go up inclined roads

[@mzondi1970]

Legitimate question do you consider 450 me enough to base a recommendation on? I had a 2000 rancher that had $8,000 mi on it and when I sold it in 2021 810 it did not leak a drop of oil ran like a top then again I use only Honda oil and had the valves adjusted on a regular basis

[@SixFiveReviews]

Depends on what you are using it for, my neighbor has the 500 and can do all the same yard work type stuff as me without an issue. His top speed is also the same as mine. The only spot mine shines over his is the out of the hole power but if you are using for work I don’t think it would be a problem. Looking for play I would buy up

[@pmaint1]

Where are the brake lever(s)?

[@TO-xw8bb]

What gunrack do you have? Trying to find a double gunrack for cfmoto atvs is harder then I expected.

[@SixFiveReviews]

Those are genetic kolpin ones from cabelas, they didn’t have anything for the actual rack system when I purchased the quad so I just bolted those ones on. They have held up great.

[@toddkrueger6868]

Just wait until drive a 2023 cforce 600 with all the new improvements. A totally different animal and much better machine.

[@SixFiveReviews]

I was tempted to sell mine and get the new model. We got the 110 for my son first so in the near future I might be looking at one

[@Catmire47]

I have a 2023 600. I love it. Best thing ever. Just put on skids and Kenda Mastodon AT tires.

[@fistcover3831]

By any chance, do you have a video of the linkage adjustments you made?

[@SixFiveReviews]

I do not. If I get a chance coming up I will try to get one and walk you through it. If you look down by your left foot you will see the bar that connects to the transmission. If you follow that up towards the shifter you will see the plastic you need to remove. It is a straight bar and you only need to get up far enough to loosen the stop nut on both ends and you will be able to turn the linkage in and out at that point

[@luciano76464]

Quanti km fa con un litro in uso normale? Grazie

[@SixFiveReviews]

I guess I don’t have a answer to that, I have never tracked fuel consumption just filled as needed. This next tank I will track it

[@mzondi1970]

These things still scare the hell out of me will someone who has ridden Hondas all his life the reliability and the resale is ridiculous you get a lot of your money back if you trade in every 3 years like I do I've heard they have courts problems and people upgrade to me that is almost sounds hysterical on a new machine did you upgrade your clutch? I buy my Honda with a 4th shifter and a solid rear axle I like that they are shaft driven no belts

[@SixFiveReviews]

If shaft drive and solid axel is what you like then I would say stick with the Honda. I too prefer a gear box and the ability to shift but I have adapted to having the belt. It is very responsive and fun to go out and play. I have also bought a small tractor that has pretty much released the quad of all work aside from the lawn roller at this point. Best bet is to go drive them and see if you enjoy independent rear suspension and belt drive.

[@markremillard5135]

Well I had a thousand miles and three months on line

[@paulpryor850]

Nice shirt! No hypocrisy here....

[@tinkertrek]

Freedom of choice. It’s a world market.

[@paulpryor850]

That's a F'ing lie!

[@adampecore6917]

Why do you insist on political comments on every CF Moto video? CF Moto has a huge plant/warehouse in Plymouth, MN. You’re delusional if you think the American companies aren’t largely based overseas due to tax protection.

[@Gamebit450]

Only thing I hate about these things are ....they are made in China!! I hate the idea of giving them this much money. Having said that I still had a cousin look at these to see if its something he could afford. Anything to get peeps on the trail with me LMFAO!!!

[@SixFiveReviews]

Agreed it was a hard one for me to give in to. The problem is they are pretty much all made in china and assembled in the US

[@Winchestersxp]

450 miles is not enough time to measure the reliability ..... at 1000 miles jack it up off the ground and check the suspension ...for sure all the bushings....ball joints and tie rods will be shot !!!

[@SixFiveReviews]

Once we get to 1000 miles we will do it

[@danmiecz1145]

I'm close to 1000 miles and no issues so far on mine

[@danyancey]

There's another comment of a guy with a 2021 with 5,000 miles and he hasn't had those issues you're talking about but go ahead and hate lol I do agree 450miles isn't much however he said he's got some plowing with it so that's alot more wear and tare than someone just cruising back roads for 1k miles.

[@john5819]

I have a 2023 600 touring. 5 months old and 2400 miles. Always ride 2 up. Not a single issue with anything including bushings, ball joints etc. seems most the haters don't even own one.😂

[@MrStr8den]

​@@john5819.i am in the exactly same scenario ... just under 2,500 miles, always two-up - mine is a '23 that I bought in June this year. Btw, how is your fuel consumption, I get around 30 mpg (imperial gallon/4.5L) mostly using high gear and most on the highway.
