CFMOTO CFORCE Clutch Bearing & Shifter Issue Fix After Going Too Deep!

[@seanmuse2745]

I love how easy the clutch cover comes off, and how quickly serviceable the clutches are on these. I’ve had a few can am’s and they require special tools

[@RyanDeakin-mm7pm]

And you probably had more than 2 hours on it before you had to open it up.

[@juicepipe]

This was a great video. I have learned a lot. I just started having this issue right after I put on a new belt. Now because of you guys experiencing this issue and fixing the problem helped me alot. Thanks for the knowledge. Keep posting videos like this. This helps avoid going to the shop and paying alot of money.

[@mrlariata9290]

My daughters can am 450 bolt on secondary clutch sheared off just taking the machine out of the garage. The secondary clutch comes apart in several pieces and would be nice if can am made it simple like cf moto. The more I see cfmoto videos the more im leaning in getting one. I have a 2019 can am Outlander Max 2 up, 2020 450 Outlander can am and A 2021 450 Yamaha Kodiak. Each has had multiple problems. I looked at CF moto saw they had lot more options but I did not know the brand very well so I went with the brands that I did know. I probably would have had better chances of buying a family of CF motos. Our riding is just easy trails here in Colorado we don't ride aggressive just put around the trails and enjoy the scenery. Great video thank you for sharing. Love the channel.

I just bought a 24 1000 overland and I’m loving it so far. Definitely should get one

Thanks for continuing to tell us the size of the nuts & which way the threads are

[@John-vf9py]

Just did the exact same thing to that skid plate today, thankfully my son was following and saw it and I was able to tear it off the last bolt holding it, preventing what could of been a disaster later in the day while taking my 800XC boating

[@joelholtz]

Love these videos Blake, thank you, and kudos to Joel too. I’ve been watching you guys from above the 49th parallel here in Ontario, Canada. You have made me seriously lean towards Cfmoto when considering a new ATV purchase. My current ‘88 Moto 4 Yamaha 225 (2wd) quad will need to be replaced at some point … and the 2021 Cforce 800 XC EPS LX in orange has definitely caught my eye! The more I watch your videos … the more confirmation I feel about going with this brand. You are presenting and representing CFMOTO really well. Congrats on that. You’ve won me over. Just waiting for the right timing to take the plunge into the new quad world. I may even do an online review when I do! Keep the videos coming guys. Love this stuff! From a pal in the North. Joel

[@RealTalkPowersports]

It is great to hear from you Joel! I hope it works out to where you can get one soon!

[@bobbyskinner4000]

Thanks for the video, taught me a bunch about my bike and gave me the “how to” to attempt work on mine. Very informative and greatly appreciated guys.

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Glad we could help bro!!

[@jerricastalans6673]

I might have to second guess you taking my four wheeler to the mud park now 🤔🤔 But definitely was a good how to video to have out there so I will let it slide 😂

HAHA , getting called out , love it , lol. I read that after he gets the 1000 he doest have to take care of it anymore , lol.

For what are these spacers? The plastic one and the metal one. Thanks!

[@scottcardinal6147]

Love my cfmoto but, for positive pressure release they could mount that way up higher. It just has to be slightly below the height of the intake port

[@abdallahdahrouj1632]

Very helpful, Thank you from Lebanon 🇱🇧

[@RealTalkPowersports]

You are welcome!

[@vanjasmit]

Hello. I have one question plz. Is it OK to change one way bearing with two way bearing?

[@2ridesafe]

Another great informative vid. Love the accessibility of the clutches on these machines.

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Thanks 👍

[@quadcorfuadventure]

With my 520 is the problem for the bearing too much dust (drive in very dry and dusty area), must regularly open and make everything clean. How do you solve the squeaking brakes? That annoys me tremendously.

[@jd43jw]

CRC disc brake quiet.

[@bouncer58]

Thanks for this video. Can't express enough how helpful this video has been to me. I have a 2021 Cfmoto 500s my daughter rides. The machine does not skip a beat. Goes everywhere my Polaris 850 does. Didn't have a single issue with it until a friend of ours completed ask to ride it and buried it in a large puddle. He hydro locked the engine and made a mess intake and crankcase. After removing the spark plug and pumping the water out via the started the engine fired right up (GO CFMOTO!). I'm on my 5th oil change and still getting water out of the crankcase. But that another story. You mentioned the CForce 500 has a one way bearing unlike your 800, and yes it's about $140. I'm new to one way bearings. Is just the inside notched section supposed to spin? Is it supposed to spin in both directions? Does the new one need to be greased/lubed at install? Lastly how do I know what direction to put it in. I did not see an arrow indicators on the one I took out.

[@trentdenudt9996]

I have a 2021 cfmoto cforce 500 and was trying to figure out which one my one way bearing goes on. Does it spin clockwise or counter clockwise? If you know or somebody else please let me know thanks.

[@RR-po7eb]

Did you guys figure out which way that bearing goes? I got a 2018 cforce 500s Doing the bearing today

[@bouncer58]

@@RR-po7eb outer race should lock when turning clockwise. At least that’s what I had written down. I actually called cfmoto’s HQ and spoke to a tech. He was very helpful.

[@janeetchavez4814]

@Real Talk Powersports I have a 2020 CF 500 and needing a new bearing but I bought a one way bearing and it seemed not to work. So my dad figured it would be the two way bearing. Now I’m not sure which to go for.

[@saberarturiapendragon1937]

Hey dude, don't know if anyone commented it before-- the way you remove the bearing from the primary pulley, it would damage the pulley conical surface, which is designed for belt and pulley power transmission.

[@joshuablack5810]

Such a great video I just bought the 1000 and dis the same thing couldent figure out why that clutch was squealing ! Thanks guys 100 percent the issue snorkel kit for sure lol

[@Thatgoodlife225]

On a brand new bike I’m Only asking cause I just bought both primary secondary clutch all new and I’m getting a squeal in park giving it a little bit of gas

[@brianmalin71]

On a 400 does the bearing on the clutch go clockwise or the other way thanks great video

[@thomasstewart7596]

Thanks I was confused didn’t know what my problem was with my transmission

[@miguelcornier3878]

Great video!.. but at first i thought you guys had a fix for the jerky throttle, good thing i waited to watch the video before attempting a back flip!I 😅

[@RealTalkPowersports]

😆👍

[@scottcardinal6147]

Great vid.How deep in muddy water can you go into before the positive outlet is submerged please? Trying to prevent this from happening again to me.

[@DirtRoadManiacs]

What did you use to clean the clutches and housing and inlet and outlet tube?

[@jalenjones21]

Thanks so much needed this for my cf moto 500 I purchased couple weeks ago very helpful !!! I’m going to try to clean bearings out first tho before purchased a new one pretty expensive lol

[@evrengokhanyilmaz]

great video thanks, one question, this one way bearing cause some relocking noise when engine speed is near by drive speed (like cases down hill and having some throttle), is this normal hearing relocking noise?

[@richardhollis3383]

Hey, brother how u doing nice video. Question, my quit pulling no forward or reverse

[@angryman71]

Excellent video -- thanks for sharing! You guys have really refined your videos and shown every aspect of how to do stuff -- much appreciated! 🙂

[@michaelpwetherbee]

2 things I would have done differently for the video... 1.) Explain why when after Joel installs the secondary and belt and removes the tool from the secondary why he spun it backwards...and always properly torque the nuts and bolts holding the clutch on....otherwise, nicely done!

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Thanks for the tips!

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Yea about 3 Uggaduggas gets the job done every time with the right Impact.

[@michaelpwetherbee]

@@RealTalkPowersports Keep on keeping on...I enjoy your videos...! great job!

[@ZuGichi]

Hey do you know what if the one way bearing is in good condition but the left vario is still spining ? Thank you ! Btw great video !

[@billpremore9509]

Just bought a 1000 and have read in a few places to start bike in neutral not park is this true and can you explain why not park? Thanks guys!! Love the videos sooo helpfull!!!

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Ive never heard that one before.. I crank it up in any gear.. just have to hold the brake to fire it up when not in park or neutral

[@jaguaradodul]

How do I release its primary internal pulley, the one on the inside belt that grips the crankshaft?

[@michaelmcdonald1800]

Is there a drain plug on cfmoto to possibly prevent that like on Polaris machines

[@rvs10031]

Do you need a new gasket/sealant on the gasket every time you open up or are servicing the CVT?

[@RealTalkPowersports]

No sir.. just inspect it and make sure it’s in the groove correctly

[@mestahi]

is it possible to change the onewaybearing to "normal" or is it essential in the smaller machines?

[@nickpoe4413]

Mine is doing the same thing and I haven't had in deep mud or water. Only 650 miles on it!

[@zacharyschul4240]

I'm still learning about these so please don't drill me. But I want to know if you can put a two-way bearing on the cforce 600? If so, is there a model number for that bearing I can use to look up?

[@RealTalkPowersports]

That is a Great question.. I personally have wondered the same.. we will look into that a little deeper for more bearing options

[@drivanfig]

Can you put a one way bearing on a 800 instead to get engine braking on the machine?

[@lucaspintican2866]

what brand transmission belt do you use/ recommend?

[@yancycf600]

Is it possible to take the one way tangs out of the 600 bearing or do they have a 2 way bearing for the 600?

[@bengomes1855]

Thanks for the videos and effort you put into them… and you might’ve answered this already, but I didn’t read all the comments, what products did you use to clean the belt housing and pulleys?

[@jjt999]

I have a 550 the front clutch hub nuts are centre nut undoes clockwise backnut anticlockwise to remove found out the hardway what's your video it was the other way around

[@RexAuto1]

The "rattle" when reved is normal? Mine does that, is that the weights that im hearing? I just recently flooded my box too, and replaced my belt.

[@jimjam894]

I have a cf 1000 there is a jump after coming into it just as you take off have you come across this

[@therealdrbyte]

What's the little t-shaped tool that you put on the secondary pulley for?

[@RealTalkPowersports]

To spread the secondary in order to loosen the belt

[@GtavGamer-w2c]

Hey there I like your video. I recently bought brand new cforce 450l and now I discovered that my shifter it is hard to get in park (shifter has alot of resistance) so I don't want to force it and I'm wondering if it has any problems or all cf's are like that or maybe I do something wrong.

[@atter136]

If its a one way bearing which direction should the bearing spin

[@tobiasrost633]

your suppose to press the break pedal at all times when u shift to be 100 % sure the belt isnt turning while shifting :P so i dont think u need to turn it off . just start using the foot break like your suppose to do

[@RexAuto1]

No... the bearing being bad has the secondary turning keeping you from shifting, nothing to do with food brake

[@ChannelMarker]

Is the primary and secondary nuts the same on all the cfmoto machines? Gotta change the belt on 2020 cforce 500s

[@JavierDiaz-fe4hw]

What if the secondary does not spin at all when giving it throttle in drive? Primary spins.

[@BrianRodecker225]

Hey Blake I was wondering if you guys are going to do some research on if you can replace the one way bearing on the 400,500 or 600 with the bearing from the 800 as long as the inner diameter is the same. Keep up the great work

[@HeyItsAsmus]

I believe on the 600 you can take out the one way bearing part of the bearing. I will be doing this to mine this week sometime.

[@RexAuto1]

​@HeyItsAsmus I looked at doing this on my gen 2 500, I didn't see a way to disassemble the bearing. It has a 1 way sprag in the middle.

[@josealfredooropezaavendano6978]

Hello, Im watching you guys from Mazatlán, Mexico, I have a cfmoto 520 L, and it has a one way bearing. ¿Which way should be spinning? ¿Clockwise or anticlockwise?

[@truckdriver656]

Hay if im just reclocking the secondary do i have to take primary off to do so ?

[@zokonjazokonja]

If I wanna to get rid of that one way bearing on CF500 (no need for engine braking) , is it possible to order normal bearing? Would fit that one from CF800 or that some model that don't use one way bearing?

[@daltonboucher8162]

Thanks for sharing let's see some hope ups on the uforce 600

[@danielpiper3653]

So after 15 miles of riding, my 950 sport is doing this same exact thing except my machine has never seen water. It was just really dusty. Would that dust cause the same problem? And because it never got submerged, would the warranty cover it?

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Daniel i would recommend letting your local shop take a look at it.. you should be covered under warranty if the dealer can find the issue and not see any foul play.

[@danielpiper3653]

[@Thatgoodlife225]

What was the issue

[@dennisrice4990]

Hey hope you reply. If I was to go to a 28” tire on zforce 800 trail, would I need to upgrade clutch? Not worried about top end. More climbing. Thanks

[@RealTalkPowersports]

I believe you would be just fine with the stock setup as long as you keep it in low gear everytime you go to climb a hill or put it under any kind of load or bind.. But the clutch upgrade will help if you want it for sure.

What's the certain way to install a one way bearing?
