I just installed a clutch kit on my new 600 and didn't notice the lines you showed us on your video,And of course I didn't know about the lines,It's all new to me and I'm learning as I go,You've been an awesome teacher.Thanks for the videos.

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Thanks Clinton.. yours should be just fine. Thanks for watching. I hope all is well

[@clintonhendrix4101]

After the clutch kit install I noticed a slight vibration and rattle coming from the clutch.So out of concern I pulled the clutch cover and noticed the lines on the inner and outer sheaves and the ramp plate were not lined up.I lined everything up and put it back together and started her up.No rattling or vibration,I wouldn't have none about lining everything up if it wasn't for your video,Thank's bro.👍👍👍

I cant speak for sure on every model because I've heard of a couple say they don't have any lines on theirs. But I believe that the majority of the units with fully stock from factory clutches are gonna have marks showing that it was a fully balanced complete primary

@@MrJeepguy1974 Wider stance up front will help with stability but won't do much or maybe anything for wandering on gravel, wider tires will help it "float" better in gravel, keeping the machine on top instead of digging in.

I notice that bearing on the right sheave has a noticeable gap with the sheave, but the one on the left does not. Reclocked my secondary few days back and noticed the gap. Feel a bit worried for the belt lifetime, because it already has some wear marks on the inside due to the cap between bearing and the sheave, right where the edge of the bearing runs. Been doing some research, bearings on the 500 and 1000 does not have the gap, but the 600 does (mine is also a 2022 600). Also it's keeping my secondary under tension, not spinning but just tension, making it hard to shift from gear to gear. Is there any way to change that gap or what's the story/meaning behind that. To me personally it seems that eventually edge of that bearing will ruin my belt.

[@artur8403]

From drilled part it seems outer and inner are not balanced. Only balancing is done on outer inner part - it has drill holes. I think when changing parts need to balance all unit and drill inner of outer part where drill holes are seen. But then, weigths do move unbalanced and who does offer balancing service for these? I know some balance long shafts on mowers and drums on combines without taking off from machine. They come to machine and do it in place. Have not seen it done and haven't more info. Probably any electric motor balancing company will do these cvt as long as you provide right fit shaft to put cvt on. Maybe cut old crankshaft end?

[@RealTalkPowersports]

I dont believe all that would be that necessary. Out of all the 4x4 racing teams and people that mud race and GNCC race with CVT driven machines, they do a lot of modifications to clutches without perfectly balancing them with each modification. Things would have to get way out of wack and out of balance to cause enough vibration to actually cause some extra wear over time.

[@artur8403]

@@RealTalkPowersports indeed. Those weights dont move perfectly in balance too

[@andrewnichols7410]

2021 cforce 500... no marks on the ramp plate. Dont remember seeing any marks on the unit when I pulled it either. Hmm... maybe needs another look? Nothing weird going on, hate pulling that cover, it's a PITA.

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Yea it can be a pain haha. Its no biggie.. just next time you have a little free time; take the cover off and give it a look over. As long as its not doing any abnormal vibrations it should be fine to ride till u can check it out

@@RealTalkPowersports I had to loosen the secondary to let it slide out some and I removed the primary ramp plate and Siskin plate to get the belt on I didn’t remove that back of the primary.

question for ya, i replaced my belt on a cfmoto 400 2021 and right after install it broke again, so i have no idea why it keeps breaking what could be my issue? i took the secondary off and it was a pain trying to get back on, it didn’t slide on easy like my 500 did when i replaced that belt. help me please, i appreciate it

[@robinbreeze270]

I put new spring and weights in my cfmoto 2020 600s. Should I pull the covers off and see if I have the grooves or should I be ok it runs fine.

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Robin honestly yours should be fine. We are talking very little vibration COULD/MIGHT occur over time in most cases if both halves had lines and were not lined back up just right... so my personal suggestion (this is not from CFMOTO or any Shop) Just me personally if everything feels fine ride it.. but if you start to notice any abnormal viabration or extra noise from the CVT area, (dont panic) just go ahead and take the cover off and do some inspecting and take that time to just blow out the belt dust and even inspect your belt and if you have the lines on both halves then go ahead and line them up and button everything back up and you will be good to go.

[@robinbreeze270]

So no need for me to take covers off again to check if they have grooves or should I check? Sorry I was confused by your reply? So No need for me to check Correct? I have had the kit in for a few weeks now. Seems like less vibration to me..

[@RealTalkPowersports]

@@robinbreeze270 i was saying not to worry about it if everything sounds and feels good on it. But if you are concerned about it and have the time and enjoy working on stuff then it would not hurt to just go ahead and take the cover off and check it.

Thank you for information .👍

[@Slane583]

I'd have to take a look at the design of my clutches. My CForce has older clutches that are an actual CFMoto design. it would be cool if I could upgrade them with the CV-Tech clutches but I wouldn't hold my breath. The engines of the newer CForce's probably have a different shaft design.

[@RealTalkPowersports]

What year model do ya have

[@Slane583]

@@RealTalkPowersports It's a 2014. From what I can tell it was their model they sold for a while over in Europe before coming to the states. It was known as the X5 over there I believe. It's a nice bike but compared to their newer machines the fit & finish is a bit crude in places and is much less user-friendly as far as maintenance goes compared to the new machines. Lots of bolts, lots of push-pins holding panels on, and takes a screw on oil filter. Though I see they still used the same 4x4/dif-lock setup as mine on their 2020 models. So I wonder if their newer dif-lock controls would work as a replacement. :)

@@Slane583 ahh yes a good bit has changed for cfmoto since the 2014 models.. they are improving year after year.. but ive only kept up with them since the 2018 models

[@Slane583]

@@RealTalkPowersports Funny enough, when my friend bought it new he went for it to get his credit up. It was the cheapest thing he could get. Because I only knew about them through YT videos from European riders. I told him about them and then he started looking up videos for them. Then the local Yamaha dealer started selling them and here we are. He went from the CF Moto to a Polaris Sportsman 570 and then I acquired it from him. It's slowly been getting some tlc. I need to order a fuel pump to get it ready for the summer. And possibly some new tires, the stock ones are starting to get down on the tread. I'd love to do payments on an 800 but sadly I'm already paying on a truck lease. The truck gets me back and forth to work so that's a bit more important. :)

Hey Blake I got a question for you. I’m loving the look of the cf motos and your channel is a big part of that. I’m trying to get a bike for trail riding but also mud riding. I’m stuck between the outlander 570 XMR and the cforce 600. My question is do you think the 600 has got enough power to make a good mud build? I’ve seen the videos with your 800 mud build and it looked awesome. Just worried about not being able to get through the sloppy stuff. Price difference is about 2k and I would much rather save! Any help would be appreciated man thank you

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Well to be honest the power on the 570 XMR is noticeably stronger than the cforce 600. With that being said, you save so so much by going with the cforce 600 and customizing it yourself and making it unique just the way you want it. I had our first 600 on 28 inch system 3 xm310s and a clutch kit and it did great.

[@RealTalkPowersports]

But my 800 was hands down the better mud unit

[@RealTalkPowersports]

I've ran the cforce 600 clutch kit from main street cycle with stock tires and loved it. So the kit that they sell specifically for the 600 is what I had and ran in mine. Very happy with it

[@dougfyfe1876]

If the primary clutch plates are balanced together at the factory, does than imply that replacing only one of the plates can put the assembly out of balance?

[@RealTalkPowersports]

It would no longer be a complete balanced unit. But they sell them as individual pieces and send dealers individual balanced pieces. So if thats a potential issue then someone higher up than me needs to come out and clarify why they sell individual pieces if it could potentially cause vibration in the clutch if using individually balanced components of the clutch.

[@pat2843]

Does the Airdam clutch kit lower the engine rpm engagement. Just seems to high on the 1 up 600. trying to figure it out and the vids are not really clear on the subject. Thanks for all the great videos and keep them coming!!

It actually raises it a little more on the 600.yes the 600 is louder but it makes more power at that rpm
