#59 W.T.F.!! 2021 CFMOTO UFORCE 1000 review. SHOCKING DISCOVERY! WHAT IS IT and why did I buy one. 

Lol. Always gotta a cold beer at the ready! It's risky putting a full beer on the ground, as my dog Bo loves beer he steals them out of coolers at the fire pit and runs off, lays down and bites into them to drink them. Caught him with 6 one night

Lol, that's a heavy German 🍺! My old home town brew in Chippewa Falls, WI. Good stuff

Thanks. Lol. Yeah gotta Include a beer.

I totally agree I've got a big vacation coming up in the northern tip of Wisconsin mid September which will really give it a good test.

You're welcome. I'll be doing a windshield video this weekend.

Good to hear! I'm amazed at the speed low gear. The ride is smooth. And the power is crazy.

You're the 1st one who caught that! That's a inside joke with my brother. He's a lawyer. When we were kids he thought everything was listed as HP. Hence he thought dad's old '73 Ford f100 was a 100hp, and my 79 Chevy Scottsdale had a whopping 2500hp engine. Good catch!

You're welcome. Yeah it was a relief to wake up with an awesome machine at almost half the price apples to apples. The Honda i priced out was 20,300 before taxes so at least a good $9,000. That buys me a real nice trailer and still $5,000 in my pocket

Yeah I agree, the quality was horrible, my dogs were busy chewing on their bones and I need to talk louder! But the winch in my opinion already paid for itself! Thanks for the comment! I just finished my diy half door project, can't wait for an extended test on them- aka riding!

They had one right in front of mine on the showroom floor. There was a honda talon in each side. That zforce just kept stealing my eye. I'd never seen anything like it before. The lines were gorgeous! The LEDs were amazing looking. It literally looked like something from the future! Then I saw the price, and compared that to the Talon's and thought how could you justify all that extra money for the Talon. My buddy has a talon, and he joked with me saying to "try" and sit in it. I'm 6'4" and no way would I want to sit in that talon all day. Then I sat in the 950 and had no issues. Thanks for watching and commenting. I'll definitely be adding videos, my favorite will be my fall ride with my dad in October, it's so beautiful up there in early October, but I can wait, I'm ready for spring as we just got more snow yesterday! Take care

@@ironheadbiker The older Zforce models had a bit of an issue with leg room for taller riders but apparently the even that has been resolved. I have a CFMOTO dealer about 30 miles from me. I may consider one of these for my next machine. They do offer a lot of features for the price and the quality and reliability has improved a lot in the last few years. When you can buy a new machine for the same or less than a used one from another brand its hard to justify buying the used one.

I'm really liking the black zforce HO ex. That thing is beautiful!

Yeah with the exchange rate that's $14,400 in US dollars, but still a bit high. Back in '04 I rode my Harley to Alaska and the jump in beer was big! thankfully a buddy of mine in Montana introduced me to Kokanee beer so when I was in Canada I was saving money drinking "domestic" beer like Kokanee instead of the more expensive "imported" beers like Miller. Best part was the Canadian Alcan road. Loved BC and the Ukon, great homemade food and new friends met.

You're welcome.

Lol thanks. Step 1, get a dumpster! Step 2. Get a huge burn barrel. Lol. It's amazing how every year i think I could fill a dumpster up! Thanks for watching and subscribing.

You all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

@Reed Felix instablaster ;)

@Kyle Fletcher Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Kyle Fletcher it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account :D

@Reed Felix You are welcome =)

Thanks man! Tom Petty was right, the waiting is the hardest part! You're gonna love your machine! They really go good! You got neuritis m beautiful country down there to ride in! Yep money talks and anyone pausing to "think about it" will be hiking this year instead of riding.

I am in TN Where did you end up going?

@@mpike2424 America's Motorsports in Rivergate (Madison) they have several now. Still loving my CF Moto

Yeah I'm an outdoor motor guy. Loved my loud Harleys, so the noise never bothered me, if a person wants quiet but an electric golf cart. I think they are a great value for the features.

I hear ya there buddy. Kinda dawned on me my labs are 11&12 yrs old, my dad's 76yrs old. I just decided it's time to make time while we still have time. I can't believe how much I use it around the homestead here.

I was looking at one sitting right next to my cfmoto uforce1000 the day I bought it. There were many features i liked on the mule. After sitting in it, and this is just my opinion, I didn't care for the flat bench seat. And the smaller tires and lower ground clearance, plus the extra price around 5k more, just made me go with the cfmoto. I did like the 3yr warranty and the ability to fold the bed down to carry more. I was also looking at going with a kubota rtv diesel, but the slow speed with the hydrostatic drive pushed me away from that, because when it came time to trail ride, nobody would want to go that slow.

Yeah they sure are. I pack raw hamburger and shredded cheese mixed together into the ends of each side of their beef leg bones, then I freeze them. They make for good treats but I didn't realize it was so loud when I filmed. My boys are spoiled rotten.

Nope they're fully locked. Most sportier machines are like that, such as my buddy's Honda Talon, but I don't like it on an utility machine because if I'm hauling a load on pavement, it's extremely tough on the drive line and tires. On a positive note, it has the ability to have a slip front end or fully locked for serious off- roading, but just need to be very cautious on pavement.

@@ironheadbiker ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sOy1xIrJW6Y.html

Yep definitely need the front window, I know all about the dust and the rear window, but I gotta keep that open for my lil old chocolate lab to jump thru. Maybe I'll get one that removes easily do I can use it when they don't come with.

Makes sense with the lab. Do you know what the lock on the steering wheel is for it tried to put my key in it fit but did nothing that I could see.

@@edmiksis5660 that is to lock your steering wheel. Anti theft thing. I've read it's a pain ass sometimes, best to use without the rubber key cover.

@@ironheadbiker ok. I don't need anti theft where I live we all have guns up here in the country.

Me too. Don't even lock my doors. C'mon in. Hopefully with good intentions, prepared for either.

I appreciate the comment! Good to hear yet ANOTHER person has had great luck with them. I'll be watching for your review! And yes, the rims and tires are stock 27" Stag tires on 14"rims. It's another reason I went with cfmoto since they came with a nice "upgraded" tire/ rim package from the manufacturer. Same with the roof, front and rear receiver hitches, front winch, power steering, backup lights, ect. The list goes on and on and all for $5-$10k cheaper than a competitor that's evenly equipped.

@@ironheadbiker I have already a 2 year review from last year with the issues I had + talk about all the pros about the atv. Stock tires on 520 is 25" so getting 27" was a big upgrade for mine. Imagine if you could fit like 29" or bigger on yours, but atleast you have the big engine for that.

Yeah I just watched your 2yr review, the new 600 really caught my eye at the dealer with their very fancy 2 up seats. Much improved! I know the largest I can go with any modifications on my is a 30" tire. There's a guy "RealTalkmotorsports" i believe is his channel name, he down in Mississippi, but he has tons of videos on several cfmoto machines all throughout their lineup and shows service and upgrades. He's the guy that convinced me into buying mine.

@@ironheadbiker Here in Europe we have 625 as the new improved version of 600 (different numbers from EU to US) and I have also been looking at both the 600 and 625 here. But I also want a 850, but it is too expensive for my budget. Yes I have seen many of his videos, and he is a good advertisement for CF Moto in general.

I went by another RU-vid video on the hp rating. I will say I'm 6'5" 240lbs with 5 knee surgeries and have plenty of leg room. Still is nicely equipped for $12k. Thanks for watching and your feedback. The drivers seat adjusts. I'm still skeptical, but the price and warranty make it worth the risk. I swear I will do an honest review as time goes on, no punches will be held back.

It's not chopper and not superbike. Can ride standing up. Where do you need leg room? Front?

I just got home from a 2hr ride (the 1st of the year, had no issues. I'm 6'4" 250lbs with 5 knee surgeries.)

They take a lil extra TLC. Like my videos show. But definitely worthy of the discount. Had never let me down. Rides a little rough. But they all do stock. I'm not a big fan of the locked rear diff all the time. But I don't ride every week, and it's there when I need it. The clutch is very jerky, at times. For riding, no big deal, get on it and go! Around the house working, sometimes you want it smooth and slow. This machine isn't that way.

@@ironheadbiker yea I see a lot comments on the jerkiness and the excess heat in cab area. For the price, I guess that we can't ride in comfort. LOL

In Wisconsin that heat comes in handy 8 months of the year ! I really wanted a kubota with the longer box and hydraulic dump. But the 20mph Max speed was a deal breaker. They're always more work than play around here

Hey Russell, thanks. The parts, accessories, and support has really picked up. They are gaining in popularity. There are several guys like the real talk motorsports guys in Mississippi and redneck garage (both on RU-vid) that have all really helped build the US brand, and show just how tough these machines are. I've had mine for a year now and no regrets or issues, except a few minor ones like the common ones, shifter linkage needed adjusting, and the stupid design on the hood, which I fixed with hood pins. The standard features are hard to beat. I think as with everything, prices have risen a bit. I'm not a big fan of the "always locked" rear diff. It's nice having the ability to lock the front in, but I wish the rear would be able to unlock. I feel in a utility vehicle, with weight in the rear bed, it could be asking for trouble down the road. But many on the Facebook uforce group, have over 10,000 miles on their machines. I still done use mine very often, but it's always there when I need it, so I consider it a great purchase for what I paid for it. It works, it rides, it is everything I wanted it for. Took it up to Ashland, Wisconsin last fall and rode for a week with rangers, can ams, and a kawasaki. Kept up with them all. They all had paid around $10k MORE for their machines. The price difference allowed me to buy a 16ft aluminum trailer and drill have money in my pocket.

@@ironheadbiker thanks for the reply. Stopped and looked at a new Commander this weekend, pretty nice. Found a CFM dealer not far from me too. Going to check these out as well. 🍻

I hear ya! I haven't seen the new cfmoto 2022's but I like the colors and the changes, but I've seen some quite large increases in price compared to what I paid for mine a year ago. Crazy times right now

Not bad at all. I've had both knees rebuilt and no issues. I will get a suspension upgrade one day but nothing to worry about ride wise.

Yep. Check out my other video where I show how to calibrate it correctly.

That's the question that has me scratching my head. Their website says $1,400 for all new headlights, taillights, and everything else. I can see the lights in mine above the headlights. I'll be checking things with my voltmeter and the extra plugs not being used that are already there. I'd never pay that crazy amount when I could at worst-case add a separate circuit myself pretty cheap. But yeah, I'm not too impressed with their website, they don't have a very good one. No pictures of the products yet for the most part. I see superatv has a universal kit for i think $125. You just add little round LEDS in the plastic under the headlights, but like I said, I see the lights above mine. So I guess stay tuned..... lol

Lookup the universal kit from SuperATV.com

I'm in Wisconsin. Sometimes I open "greetings from Wisconsin " but you're point is dully noted

Yeah our trails are still closed waiting for the snow to melt and frost to get outta the ground, but man I'm ready! Just need a good easily removable windshield and I'm liking those aluminum half doors

@@ironheadbiker just installed the super ATV, two piece, tilt up windshield. Man is it nice. Pricey at $475 US but nice quality and engineering.

Do you have an issue with the lower half tilting up off of the hood when you lock it in the "tilt open" mode? Mine would pivot on the single bolt that attaches it to the roll bar. I got it fixed by bending the mounting bracket so it couldn't pivot. They (super atv)answered me back by saying I could use an internal toothed lock washer. All other models those windshields go on use 2 bolts to mount the lower half. But I am very happy with it so far.

@@ironheadbiker have not experienced that issue thus far. Only been running windscreen for few days so far so good. Glad to hear you got the issue fixed.

Yeah I paid $500 with tax delivered in 2 days for free. Very impressed. Guys on RU-vid really brag it up. One guy said he trailered it at 70mph and left it tilted up and said no damage or issues! The only gripe is I guess when it rains, water drips in on the top off the roof. I was thinking maybe a rubber flap along the top to create a flexible seal, but I'll worry about that after my 1st ride in the rain. My next purchase will probably be those aluminum half doors. I'm not a fan of those net screens for doors. As cfmoto grows in popularity, I'm sure the accessories will become more readily available. I'm also interested in turn signals, there's a lot of pre-wiring underneath, so they may be easy to add.

Thanks. It was tasty too!

Great! Good value for the price.

Sindt motorsports in Dubuque iowa

Actually got it at Sindt motorsports in Dubuque IA.

Yeah with the heat this thing gives off, I definitely would want the tip out option. I really like riding without looking thru anything, but it's nice to have options

Thanks for watching. What are you referring to when you ask what I'm going to use it for? As in the machine itself?

in my thoughts only a farmer or avid hunter would get the full use out of them

Ah yes. Well couple reasons here. I love taking my dogs with, so there's that. Also I'm 6'4" and those 950s are a little cramped. I also haul wood, and my 12 storm doors. Tons of loads of brush, gravel, dirt. I was borderline in gerund m getting a diesel kubota rtv1140.m, but they're just too slow, but I like the utility side of them. Although I like trail riding, right now I'm probably 50/50 on recreation and work hour wise.

Yeah I got so lucky I stumbled upon them literally a day before I went to buy. Saved me a ton of money. I definitely use it everywhere on my property for chores. But I'm also within a few miles of our trail system. When I drove to the west coast as a truck driver I loved the NW. NW Montana was my favorite, but I drove a bunch in Oregon and Washington and Idaho as well.

Yeah I will do a video on a flat with my GPS to verify what true actual is. I had mine hit 78 on the gauge, which I know is off, but when I had my GPS I only went to 50mph and found the gauge off by 5mph thru and up to 50. I think the big difference between these and rangers are that these don't have a Rev limiter. The only ranger I owned was a 2011 800 crew. It had a plastic restrictor in the air in take, (which i removed) and then the engine itself cut out at a set rpm. The only "race" i did so far was with my buddy's 2020 Northstar. His also cut out. The race wasn't very close, I think I'm quite a bit lighter machine wise, but his rev'd out and I was gone. I'm not much into racing them tho, and in this style machine I feel it's PLENTY fast. For me it was all about Standard accessories and price. I hope to get some good riding in today, I'll keep you posted on my findings if I can find a nice level area to open it up safely. Kinda

@@ironheadbiker right on. Enjoy. It’s nice to be out on the trails. I got sick of eating dust on big group rides so I bought a ranger northstar ultimate, I had it clutched and tuned by Gilomen so mine will do 70-75 now and gets to 65mph pretty fast. We ride a lot of dirt roads and county roads as I live in the country so I anted to be able To do 60mph comfortably without holding the throttle wide open all The time haha. Works great now. Stock max rpm was 6200. Now it’s 7800. Big difference.

Took my GPS with today. Their calibration is off throughout. At 20mph on odometer GPS is 18mph Odometer 30mph GPS 26mph It gets worse the faster it goes. The top speed (extremely windy, and running out of room, so maybe a little more left, but I don't wanna ruin a belt) The speedo showed 75mph The GPS read 64mph. This GPS is dead on. I've used it in many vehicles. I wonder if they calibrated it for different tires in Europe?? Not sure. It still is fast enough in a machine this style. The percentage it is off suggests a 30" tire would offset the reading. Or they used the same sensor as on their smaller machines like their atvs or smaller utvs with smaller tires? Probably so to save money.

@@ironheadbiker they want to sell more of them by people saying they easily do 75mph lol. I’m sure.. haha

Hey bro, just a heads up, I did a video on the speed and how to fix it. I just wanted to tip my hat to you for calling bullshit! It is. I agree. Easily fixed. I don't have love affairs with my equipment, I try to tell the good and bad. But also try to remedy anything I can make better. I just wanted to thank you for questioning the status quo. It's what make things better.

I don't believe so. We only have railroad grade trails around here, so I guess my answer is I just don't know. But, unlike my 2011 ranger, when I let off it kinda slows down on it's own, my ranger down hill would kick into neutral

@@ironheadbiker really interested in one. Where we ride has really step hills. Was looking for one that would slow down some when going down hill instead of just free wheeling. Thanks for the videos.

I know the free wheeling feel as my polaris had that I don't feel that in my uforce 1000, hope this helps. But yeah I know that "shift to neutral feeling going down hill. In trucking we call it a "Georgia overdrive" they refer to it in the song "6 days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight"

@@ironheadbiker thanks for the replies

No problem. I'm not a pro, or a mechanic, just try my best to help people

Yeh their chewing on their cow bones. Keeps them outta my "hair" while I'm taking. I noticed that too. I'll have the camera in a different spot next time. Thanks for the comment. Have a good one!

Yep. It's Chinese. Can Ams are made in Mexico. Polaris is depending on the model, plus I feel their quality has gone down, but not their prices. Many models are out of stock on most brands due to covid, and most with these same features are close to $10,000 more in price.

Most everything electrical you buy is Chinese. 1/2 of the products in Walmart are Chinese. Canam has alot of Chinese made parts. At least these are assembled in the USA. Show me an American made atv.

Yep. Sign of the times.
