10 Frequently Asked Questions About the CFMoto UForce

Question 1: Where are CFMoto UForces Made?

Answer 1: CFMoto UForce side-by-sides – including their engines – are manufactured in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

Question 2: How fast is a CFMoto UForce 600?

Answer 2: Depending on the market area, the top speed of your CFMoto UForce 600 could be limited anywhere from 25 MPH to 62 MPH. In America, however, you can expect your stock CFMOTO UForce to go around 50-55 MPH.

Question 3: How do you shut the headlights completely off on a 2023 CFMoto UForce to go into blackout mode?

Answer 3: There is a plug under the hood on the passenger side next to a control box that you can unhook to shut off all the lights except for the strip DRLs. Do this, though, and you’ll also lose the halo ring around the headlights.

Question 4: What are the must-have CFMoto UForce Accessories?

Answer 4: Those “must-have” mods for the CFMoto UForce that riders regard as crucial vary as you move up and down longitudinally across the nation. The guys and gals up north add accessories like heaterscabstracks, and plows to their rigs, while folks in the South focus on bigger tires, better suspension, snorkelslights, and sound systems.

Whether it’s a half tinted windshield to block both mud from the ground and glare from the sun, or a full windshield for the cold wind that blows everything from dust and bugs to rain and snow into your face, windshields are among the few universal accessories that riders of every climate choose to install with consistent regularity. Roofs are also pretty universal, and winches are too. You can also add whip lights and rock lights for style and safety, tires and a lift kit for clearance, and a sound bar for fast-and-easy tunes!

On the performance side of things, the first thing many riders do is upgrade their primary clutch. This not only smooths out the ride and makes accelerating more consistent across RPM ranges, but it also makes a huge difference in clutch engagement when running larger-than-stock tires!

Question 5: How do you open the hood on a CFMoto UForce 1000?

Answer 5: Stand and face your machine from the front, and thread your fingers behind the nose tab in the middle below the badge. Pull the plastic cowling out in the middle, then do the same to each tab directly to the right and the left of it in order to remove the prongs on the panel from the grommets on the frame. To clear the bracket, pull up and push forward (away from you) simultaneously on the front of the hood panel, and it should pop right off!

Question 6: Is the CFMoto UForce belt driven?

Answer 6: Yes, the CFMoto UForce is belt driven.

Question 7: Where is the oil sump screen on a CFMoto UForce?

Answer 7: The sump screen on a CFMoto UForce is behind the engine oil drain plug. You should clean it every time you change the oil.

Question 8: How fast is a CFMoto UForce 800?

Answer 8: The CFMoto UForce 800 has a top speed of 65 MPH.

Question 9: Can you plow snow with a CFMoto UForce?

Answer 9: Yes, you can plow snow with the CFMoto UForce 1000, the CFMoto UForce 800, as well as the CFMoto UForce 600.
