[@alaindamours349]

You are right i got mine done and guess what i don't know what they did but my engine just clunk out and i have use a camera to take pictures inside engine and saw that the valves hit the piston and the valves are stamp on top of the piston. you are right its not broken leave it alone plus i was charge 500 dollars to do these valves

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Yes sir. If it’s not broken leave it alone most of the time people cause issues. I would definitely be raising questions with who done them.

[@8leggedvenom1973]

Very good video to share was good.. I’m a car guy been adjusting valves on my race car for many many years same concept a lot of people might not know so that was awesome but I have 195 miles on my 800 trail 2021 and I’m not touching it because it’s not broke

[@devinginther3046]

Always a better idea to check the clearances in these chinese machines!!!

[@BobKulak]

Please explain how you rotating engine innards. Where do you put your socket tool? What size socket? Do you do this with the sparkplug removed?

[@rackmaster4]

Man I'm having all kinds of trouble out of my 500 trail. It won't stay idling, gas in the oil won't hardly start when its cold. You are very good and I was hoping you could give me some tips? I will not take it back to the dealer as they are incompetent.

[@GREGSGUNSONLINE]

thanks- and God Bless you.

[@matthinkle9877]

Thanks for the video!! I just did the clutch reclock from B2 to C1. Wow! Like a whole different machine.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

You’re welcome. Yes sir. Sure is.

[@whiterabbit2786]

I moved mine to C1 as well. Made a great difference in the Z950.

[@DCSPORTSTER]

Yeah you’re just like me if it ain’t broke don’t fix it unless you’re having a problem. Mechanics have a tendency to look at it that way because we don’t like creating problems if it runs fine leave it alone. I have a little Honda fit I had to adjust the valves on it finally at about 220 K it was starting to run a little rough and no power cold and poor fuel mileage. After I adjust the valves it ran like a brand-new car

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Absolutely. If it ain’t broke leave it alone lol.

Your very welcome 🙏.

[@ironheadbiker]

Appreciate the video, and your opinion on the valve checking. When I bought my 1000 uforce last month the dealer wanted me to bring it in for it's 1st service at 25-30hrs to change every fluid, even diffs, antifreeze, and oil. But they also say they check the valves, and I'm like, AT 25HRS??? I guess there's nothing wrong with "checking" but man for $400 I just feel like it's a dealer money grab. I can change my own fluids. I feel the same way, if it ain't broke, don't break it!

[@R.N.GPerformance]

I agree it is a money grab. First service is good to be done at 80-100 hrs for fluids and stuff. Valves i would leave alone for a while.

[@Atvjustin20]

SO FAR i HAVE HAD GOOD LUCK WITHE 2 CF MOTOS A 800 TRAIL AND NOW A 950 SPORT 2021 BE NICE TO HAVE A BETTER CLUTCH UPGRADE ITS GOT 31 IN DESERT HAWK TIRES AND ONLY DIFFERANCE IS IT WAS CLOCKED

[@R.N.GPerformance]

We can fix you up www.rngperformance.net

[@1Klooch]

Good channel, good stuff. Have an early 2000's Chinese SXS, UTV, (BMX 500), think HiSun. It has the CF Moto one cylinder and dry clutch, all working fine. Just like your ZForce some things are great and some really suck and had to be addressed. Recently got interested in the ZForce 800 Trail. Checked it out and decided, (your channel really helped), to get one. WHAT A ROYAL F'IN PAIN IN THE ASS! My area, Southern Arizona has only one dealer an hour away, (BTW, no help, useless, waste of time). Next others you can count on one hand for the entire state. One blew off the franchise, another doesn't show CF Moto on their website although CF Moto company website shows them as franchised dealers.No 800's, no idea when they will get one, but give 'em $500. and you'll get first choice IF one comes in, no ETA. WTF is it with these clowns! I believe CF Moto is a good machine and good value, but if your dealer and maybe the whole company will dry up and blow away, HELL!. Right now I have to get my BMX 500 parts from a guy, (nice guy) in Arkansas. I am creeped out by what I'm seeing and don't want my nearest warranty service dealer ending up being "Big Bob's" Bait Shop and Worm Farm/CF Moto Dealer in Lickamacoochie, Louisiana. Sorry for the bandwidth, but this is not a good situ to instill confidence in a brand.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Only certain places are like that. Here we have 2 dealers with in 30 mins of each other. Both decent dealers. Unfortunately CFMOTO is still newish to the US however growing very rapidly. But honestly you have this same issue with every brand. If i want honda i have to drive 40 mins to a dealer. If I want Polaris i have to drive a half hour. If i want CFMOTO, Kawasaki, yamaha, suzuki, i drive 10 mims. Dealers are weird and not all will sell/work on every brand. Me as a Mechanic ill work on anything that pays 😂

[@DirtTrailAdventures]

Man problem is it’s hard to get any brand of machine in stock right now and parts for everything is flying off the shelves faster than they can be made the off-road sector has grown 180% since COVID

[@R.N.GPerformance]

@@DirtTrailAdventures thats right. Its grown HUGE.

[@1Klooch]

@@R.N.GPerformance Thanks for the reply! Love your channel and am subscribed. The CF dealers here in AZ are primarily small motorcycle dealers with no other ATV franchise and rarely have more than one, two of any CF's on the lot, sometimes none. It's not their main money maker, so they're real casual about the line and would probably jump ship if they get a wild hair up. Local to me, (one million people metro area), are numerous franchised dealers, (monster size, two locations same city "Ride Now Power Sports"). I could walk in with my few requirements and the bucks and be roosting dirt same day. AS LONG AS I BOUGHT ONE OF THE BIG NAME BRANDS. They won't take on a CF franchise because they're $happy$ and their customers have no other option but to fork over 20K+ for something that's right there and ready to go. Why have a line with a superior machine that sells for thousands under their nearest base comparable model? Having worked in the franchised motor vehicle industry years ago I can tell you some big name brands are not above putting pressure on their dealers to remain the "big dog" in the house. Anyway, I put my search on hold till the fall, maybe permanently. I'll ride my old CF Moto powered BMX 500 UTV and like it. I'm done chasing people and begging them to take my money. Cheers! Keep the great content coming please.

awesome video, going to try this. Will poor clearance on my valves effect how it starts? fires up then dies at least three times before it runs. (wont do it with the battery maintainer on it with full charge tho)?

[@bherne61]

I have a 2020 zforce 800 that tries to start but won't. It pops out of the intake also. I was told a kid tipped it on inside n left it there to get help. The rolled it back onto it's wheels and the kid tried to start it immediately. Spark plugs are clean and spark, fuel pump comes on and holds pressure, new air filter installed, it does pop periodically when cranking it over and will rpms will hit 600, then taper off. Please help me diagnose this . By the way I watch all your videos. Great stuff. Huge fan.

[@tonymic988]

Great video sir. When I change the plugs I put Anti seize lube I see that it was kind of difficult to remove the plugs in your video. Stay safe.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

No they were easy. Very easy. If you change the plugs often enough you wont need that. I try not to put anything on them because they need a good ground.

With the piston at TDC on compression stroke both intake and exhaust valves should be closed so that you can check both sets without rotating the motor again :)

Thats too much like work. Took me 15 mins to check these. Im not complaining 😂 this is how I’ve always done valves.
