CFMOTO Ignored Kenny When His ZFORCE CAUGHT FIRE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Recently a friend's 2023 Cfmoto Zforce 800 EX was destroyed by fire. In this video you will hear the story and how it turned out. Also I want to educate any Zforce owners to keep an eye on the lock ring that fastens the fuel sender to the top of the fuel tank on the Zforce 800 and 500 side by sides. If you own one of these machines, be sure to check the lock ring on the fuel tank each ride.

Hey Roland. Thanks for the video. I hope it helps people in some way. They should check their machines for fuel or fumes leaking around the entire system. It hurts my heart to think someone could be injured or killed from the same situation.
Yes it sure does Kenny.
Here is a video I did 3 years ago that shows how to solve this problem. It’s a very well known wide spread issue and CFMOTO needs to be heald accountable for it. CFMOTO ZForce Fuel Smell in the Cab Lets Fix it! #CFMOTO #ZForce

@@R.N.GPerformance thanks for being here Steve. Your videos helped a lot of people.
@@R.N.GPerformance Thanks for sharimg buddy, I havent seen that video. Dang cfmoto beginning to piss me off
@@OpenAirAdventureyour welcome 🙏
I would be mad too, but the insurance company should be investigating and then going after cfmoto. If you dont have insurance you really cant get mad if something happens like this.
Great Video! i have a 2019 Zforce 800 Trail. I am heading out right now to check the lock ring! I have from time to time smelled gas fumes! I do love my machine!
I like mine as well and we have to stay safe.
Thanks for bringing this to your channel. I am a CF Moto rider and this is very concerning to hear, especially how they responded to that man who lost his machine. Hopefully CF Moto will finally do the right thing, figure out a fix and help those out who have been affected.
Youre welcome. I hope they do also. Money isnt more important than life.
Here in West Virginia Had same issue with my 2019 zforce 1000 Didn’t take me long to find it but yes it can be bad if you don’t catch it in time. Luckily i did
Also on the cf Moto clx700, I was traversing a curve on a highway and as soon as you start to lean, there's a 5" gap across the highway with a lip facing you sticking up that grabbed me one night putty me in a death wabble. Somehow I was slammed to the ground being knocked out sliding down the highway at 60mph. Several injuries including TBI. Had gear on, when coming to, I tried to stand up to get out of the highway only to realize that I was still sliding. My right index finger was angled in the palm of my hand as I came to trying to stand up before realizing I was sliding, so I laid back down only to have my hand stuck in front of my helmet watching the glove disintegrate and then my finger started to peel away to the bone with my eyes locked onto it. Then CF Moto puts out a recall saying that with abs, if the brakes were hit twice it would not allow a safe stop. That's why I could not pull out of the wabble. As soon as it happened, It felt like when I hit the lip, like I hit a brick. So with 2 fingers over the brake, it caused a multiple tap of the brakes during the wabble. And nothing could be done that a safety feature was unsafe. I.E recalled. Of course this state is "you cars have to be road worthy" then why doesn't the road have to be auto worthy? And the EMT took helmet off on site, not neck brace and at ER all that was done was sewing up lacerations on my shin and then look at my finger (look like a shark took a shark took a bite out of a hotdog that blew up in the microwave, and say nothing we can do about that. So they didn't even clean the debris out. X-ray the shin and finger to make sure not broken and sent home. I had a traumatic severe wreck and no CTs on head, neck or back?🤔 Then while trying to recover at home alone, I was passing out daily unaware until I came to gasping for air. That happened for 2 weeks straight with me wondering which would be my last as no one would have known until I just didn't respond and someone decided to check on me. Sorry for the novel. After 30 years of riding, I can honestly and regretfully say I will never get back on a motorcycle. My brain will not let me. After I was able to drive, I got down the block, saw cars and turned around and went back home. It took a while for me to not stress driving my car.
sounds like a horrible experience
thank you for the video i purchased a cfmoto 1000 overland thinking it was a fantastic machine and you get a ton of bike for a very reasonable price. boy was i wrong !my machine has a whopping 400 km on it and when i took it out this spring from its winter hybrernation it was running very week. could not exceed60 km per hour. i brought this machine to a dealer only to find a blown melted coils ,it was running on 1 cylinder. a new coil was ordered and installed and still the same problem. the ecu was replaced with one from of their inventory bikes and it runs okay. so now i have a melted coil and a blown ecou that only runs 1 cylinder and chit out of luck 1 year warranty just expired .
i regret buying this bike i feel it will always give me issues and it will become a bottomless pit the moral of the story is you get what you pay for.
that may cfmoto experience never again. cheers
The company should’ve gave them a new unit. They would’ve saved so much more money because it would’ve made Kenny happy as hell and also he would’ve got on the RUclips and told the story about his unit and told people that they replaced it with a brand new one people would probably, like this guaranteed that they give that they backed their product up and they probably would’ve got more sales
Thank you for the info,i own a 2023 uforce 1000 and loving it,ill check that fuel ring asap before my next ride.
Definitely, be safe
Thank you for this informative video and yes CF Motto should investigate this.
No doubt
I smelled gas on my old 2020 ZForce 800 and saw on RNG to put RTV Silicone on the lock ring to prevent it from getting loose. I did that and it solved my problem so I also did it on my ZForce 950 HO Sport before I ever smelled any gas.
I have a 2020 zforce 800 trail. When I hit 1500 miles I was lucky enough to see fuel on the ground. When tightening the cap. Take a hammer and screwdriver then gently hammer it tight but not so much it breaks the plastic. I now have 2500 miles with no problems. Cf moto should definitely have a recall for this. I live in the mountains of Oregon and gets very dry and that could have caused a huge forest fire!
I agree, there should be a recall.
Thanks for the info......I've been smelling fuel and do not see a leak on floor. Have 2019 Z-Force 1000. Going to check this out....just purchased this!
Good luck!
Thanks man I have a 2023 zforce 950 ho ex ill be sure to check that before I ride again now
👍
Uforce 1000 2024 buyer here, lo e it no issues as of yet. 1,800 miles
Catch Fire Moto 🔥 I ride a 400EX setup for trails. But the local bike shop sells CFMoto. I'm going to mention it to them, hopefully they will make buyers aware. You'd think they would put out a TSB.
The funny thing about it is that it is not only CF Moto Polaris has some fire issues to they had a do not ride for there Snowmobiles and I think some side by sides and they still have not got back to me with a fix for the problem
Cfmoto atv/utv have alot of loose parts from New. Every one I bought and worked on had loose bolts
You saw the capers video on this ? This really sucks but he needs some bigger names who deal in CFMOTO to really be heard. But ty for helping put it out there.
Who are the Capers?
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER he’s from cape breton ns we call them capers
@@2CANSAM1970 gotya lol
Thanks for posting this it’s gross negligence ! They need to be compensated. Probably should carry a fire extinguisher and have full coverage insurance
My 2024 uforce600 appears to have the same bad sending unit
Sharing where I can. Please update us if find out if other new models have this fix or not or if there is anything official from CF Moto.
👍
If you smell fuel you better not drive it till you find out where the leak is coming from. Otherwise you could end up with a portable barbecue. That goes for any gas powered vehicle. My 21 cforce 800xc had a fuel pump problem when I first got it, used to quit hot below half a tank of fuel. Anyway, I needed a fuel pump, the lock ring was so tight I had to use an oil filter strap to get that thing loose. Another way of telling if that lock ring is tight on the fuel tank. When you take the gas cap off it should be under some pressure. If not, you better check that lock ring on your tank.
My first ride 1/2 way through I smelled gas , didn’t think much about it , filled up and had dripping on the ground , found ring for tank sender loose , hand tightened up has been good since …..20 800ex
Holy crap, thats not good my friend. Keep a close eye on it.
Mine had similar issue, when riding i smelled fuel, so i pulled over and checked. found return fuel line pop off fuel sending unit on the tank and sprayed fuel everywhere. the lock was not 100% secured. mine unit was 2021 CFMoto Zforce 800 Trail. was at 50 miles when it happen.
That soinds like a close call. Glad you caught it. See what I mean, this should not be happening.
watch for a consumer recall in the works
That needs to be a recall!!
100% agree
Traded that zforce junk in on a can-am.
I covered a video on that lock ring it’s a huge huge issue. Check my video on how to keep this from happening. Simple easy mod.
I see you deleted my comment
I dont think so
It's not here
@@woodrowcaudle try it again
people have died in Polaris fires and they never fixed those, so don't expect cf moto to care about this lol
Trust me I'm not holding my breath. It's sad
CF Moto is a junk
Not really but thanks for sharing your well explained opinion just the same
lol trash moto is junk
If you say so, it must be true. dbarge has spoken. The verdict is in lmao
I will tear down my 600 on the weekend and check every fuel line connection now.
Right on 👍
