I totally agree with the end of the video - i already put machine to first service period only, to dealer. And then I do it myself. It is not about the money and time which You spend on the way to dealer. Reason is I am perfectly handsome,get 100% care to machine,and I can get lot of time to work and be precise,careful,meticulous.
Just watching this video on the oil change. You should save a 1 L bottle that has those graduated marks on the side fill it up to 500 mL level and then pour it all in the engine with the other 2 litres. Then there’s no danger of overfill the engine with oil. I do this when I am servicing small engines no chance of overfilling. You could also do the same thing when you’re changing the diff fluid or the transmission fluid on it too. I’m a mechanic too I never adjust the valves unless I have a drivability issue or if the fuel mileage drops. You will also have poor performance when engine is cold. In my experience you will need new spark plugs or a valve adjustment. But before you do that make sure you have no dragging brakes or the tire pressures is low.
Great videos! Love them! A lot of great info. I own a 2019 CFMoto UForce 500 and I have really enjoyed it so far. One problem I have encountered and this happened 3 times. I would turn it off and it would not start back up and black smoke would come out of it until it cooled down then it would start. My local dealer told me I needed to get that 300 dollar service you mentioned and it actually turned out to be some type of emissions problem that they addressed but it costed me 300 dollars out of my pocket but that did include its first oil change. Hopefully no more issues.
You don't he was wrong and thanks to him I've been running mine low as dirt just glad I see a correct video from the guys in Little Rock Arkansas and glad I didn't screw my motor up😮I thought the team MSC Guys was some bad ass's when I came to working and ripping the shit out of them CF motos😂They just really disappointed me with not knowing how to check the oil on a machine they sell every day and can get or has anything you need or want..besides him not knowing how to check the oil they do have good videos of riding 😂
After a long desert ride this weekend, I noticed some gear oil dripping near my drainbolt. After looking around and checking the bolts, I found the gear oil dipstick was missing its O-ring. Might want to check yours and see if you have your O-ring. The engine had it's O-ring, but the gear oil didn't. Simple enough to fix, but others might also be missing theirs.
Hey Blake great videos/info! I am new to the side by side world. I was wondering if you could tell me or do a video on what wheels fit the 950 Sport. I was also wondering if you knew how much ground ground clearance you gain with 30” vs 32” tires. I see that one of your buddies had 30”. Does 30” or 32” change the width of the 950 Sport? I was thinking of going with 30" hoping it would be ok without doing the clutch kit you have mentioned. 60” width is what I was trying to stay at. Thanks for any help you can give a newbie!
Like seeing I'm not the only one using a tq wrench to tq the oil filter cover to specs and the oil drain plugs. I will note on the oil filter cover , it's best to use a 1/4" drive tq wrench and tq it to inch pounds. Myself I wont trust a 3/8 tq wrench at 7 ft pounds , that's about as low as you can go on a lot low end 3/8" ones. Using a 1/4" drive (inch pounds ) , tighten the 8mm head cover bolts to 89 inch pounds , that's what it converts to.
I believe the stock filters in these are a Donaldson filter. Very well made paper element filters. Polaris uses these in many of their models with an outerwear on them. That would be my next move....but am impressed so far with the lack of dust the filter in mine is picking up with filtration system design on the 950's. Huge improvement over previous model years.
Do you know if they use break in oil the first time? I have 10 hours on mine waiting to finish breaking in, it looks kinda grayish. Not water for sure since it’s never been in anything deep, just wanted to see if your was that way?
Yes sir that is exactly right on the size that you stated.. and as for as the model rim I have on the 950 right now with the 32s on them I cant remember exactly. Ill have to look at them tomorrow. I have it at the Warrior Riser snorkel place in Texas right now
Thanks, I have a set of 32” carnivores coming and my dealer wasn’t sure of the wheel size. Did you get beadlock rims? In Canada it seems everybody is out rims. Thanks for help, I can’t wait to pick up my 950. Your videos have been very informative.
Hello, I just put a 500 dollar deposit on a 2021 zforce 950. Grey version like you have. Suppose to be here in September. The price went from 12999 to 13650. So I was wondering if you would know if they added anything new to the 21 or if they just jacked up the price?
Awe man i havent heard anything on any of the new 2021 models yet but I sure will get some info out there as soon as i hear of any new changes for 2021
This really rubs me wrong with him doin it the wrong way so from now on people I prefer every one to find another company to buy all your 950 HO stuff from a company that actually leads you in the right direction and not having you do stuff to blow the motor in your machine because it doesn't have enough oil it😮now I have to change my oil again cause Main Street cycles told me to check my oil completely wrong.Im wondering if they tell us wrong so they can make money off repairs when they lead us to tear up our machine but the way he is showing us in this video to check out oil is NOT CORRECT.Im very disappointed in MSC cause I loved shopping and watching ther videos but man they could have made me blow my motor up on my machine running it low of oil.I hate this happened to me and hope MSC gets it together man I really wanted to get a MSC clutch kit but I'm pretty scared to trust it now.have. A great day folks😊
Im a mechanical do it yourselfer like yourself..BUT it is always nice to see the actual job being performed once! THANK YOU!
No doubt.. i changed the oil in my friends 500 today and I actually referred back to my own video to just make sure I didn't miss a step bahahaba

Thank you for doing all these awesome videos on CF Moto products without you I think I might be lost on my CF Moto 500s
I sure love these CFMotos Blake!! The word is getting out too on them how good of a machine they are. I plan to keep buying CFMoto
Couldn't agree more!
Your killing it man! Happy to see all the videos
Thanks so much Buck
After watching your videos on CF Moto machines it has me wanting one.

Nice job as always Blake. I'll be doing my break in change this weekend.
Awesome.. you will appreciate how easy everything is to get to
Awesome video 🙌, I'm about to be doing my service soon. Probably after this weekend of riding. Love all the videos can't wait for the next one.
We worked on the clutch kits today
@@RealTalkPowersports as soon as there done I want one for sure. Just let me know lol
What’s good about Canada is the same as Australia. Litres and klms per hour. Love the channel
I thought you didn't screw the dip stick back in when checking?
You don't he was wrong and thanks to him I've been running mine low as dirt just glad I see a correct video from the guys in Little Rock Arkansas and glad I didn't screw my motor up😮I thought the team MSC Guys was some bad ass's when I came to working and ripping the shit out of them CF motos😂They just really disappointed me with not knowing how to check the oil on a machine they sell every day and can get or has anything you need or want..besides him not knowing how to check the oil they do have good videos of riding 😂
Would you do the trans and diff oils the same time as the engine oil? Or not necessary

Have you put a Uni filter on this 950 Sport? Or still running the OEM paper one?
I am still running the stock dual paper filter

thanks for the vid man =)
No problem man
THANKS, GREAT VIDEO!
Helpful stuff here
Thanks!!
Great video. One question in your experience this is good UTV or best is Polaris
Was watching one of your old videos and saw you have a H&P shirt on you still work for them
Do you know if they use break in oil the first time? I have 10 hours on mine waiting to finish breaking in, it looks kinda grayish. Not water for sure since it’s never been in anything deep, just wanted to see if your was that way?

What rims did you get for your 32” tires, is the wheel size 14x7, offset 5+2, pattern 4/110 for the zforce 950?
Yes sir that is exactly right on the size that you stated.. and as for as the model rim I have on the 950 right now with the 32s on them I cant remember exactly. Ill have to look at them tomorrow. I have it at the Warrior Riser snorkel place in Texas right now
Thanks, I have a set of 32” carnivores coming and my dealer wasn’t sure of the wheel size. Did you get beadlock rims? In Canada it seems everybody is out rims. Thanks for help, I can’t wait to pick up my 950. Your videos have been very informative.
@@sw2932 awesome! You will love that setup. I did not get bead locks. Just regular rims with a 5+2offset.
Can you do a on the trail belt change please. Thank you for the videos the are very helpful

cfmoto says don't screw the dip stick in to check oil on another video. So what is the rule?
Thats right.. dont screw the dipstick in to check level. Just put it in back to where it starts to thread up and pull it back out to check

How hours did you have when you done your first service?
I did mine at like 15
How do you break in your Moto 800 2up?
Is there a transmission oil plug ?
Are y'all located in Lancaster s.carolina?
