Installing an ATV lift, mud tires, and a clutch kit // CFMOTO 1000 

No problem, definitely learning more the more I mod my atv. Good times for sure!

I understand now… 🤦‍♂️😂

Good to now my cf is only a 500 but I will make sure I do this .

Brother, can you please explain more when to use low and high please? I’m new, and I don’t to breake my cf100, thanks

Ha ha pretty much! 👍

Oh crazy, I actually didn’t realize you guys got any snow down there at all.

Nice! You’re gonna love it!

Thanks man 😁 appreciate it

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

Have the same setup on our 800 and 1000uforce. Blake talked me into it, the 1000 look pretty sweet. Still waiting for it in upstate New York. Great set up for winter riding. If u still need a little more bite ice cutters in those beefy lugs help out so incredibly much even in dirt or rocks and trees. They hold pretty well also, we still have most of them in since last year and rode all summer.

Good to know, thanks!

I’ve been SUPER happy with the impact driver! I’ve used it a ton.

Definitely a good lesson learned. And a fairly easy fix, luckily.

I think it was the combination of the new clutch kit,the 30” tires, being in high gear, and the heavy heavy wet snow we were in, and me basically going full tilt for about seven miles. Had I been in low like the owners manual states, I probably would have been fine.

Happens to the best of us 😂

Yes! Coming this week actually 👍

They’re the stock housings that come on the overland, I just painted them blue.

Absolutely! This is great advice and I definitely learned my lesson. I rode 900 miles in Arizona recently and checked my belt cover often. I will definitely take it easy in the snow in the future.

Thanks! Yeah, I pulled off a few parts to paint. Just thought it'd look better.

I actually powder coated it

It was really the clutch kit that made me lose top end. I don’t think tires alone would hurt the top end very much.

@@BroBuilds how much did you lose? you think its worth it too get a clutch kit for 1 inch over stock size

Thanks! I called Main Street cycles for the clutch kit. Check out Real Talk Powersports RU-vid channel. Lift kit is from www.perfexind.com

I also got my wheel spacers from Perfex

I’ve just had my initial service done by the dealer so far. I’ll be doing service myself from now on. The shop sold me Yamalube oil for my 500, though.

Man I don’t know 😬 I just do what feels about right

@@BroBuilds thanks for the response, did you see the new Cforce 1000 Touring model is out?

Yeah I can see over the boxes just fine. I’m honestly not sure what brand the mirrors are, I got them from a local Honda dealer.

It’s about 3.5” of added clearance. But I softened up the suspension so I lost a bit of that.

Are you talking about the part around the 5:38 mark? If I remember right, I think I just pressed down on the axle/trailing arm and wiggled the suspension back in. You could always shorten the coil overs to get them in easier then lengthen them back out once you have them in there.

I’m honestly not sure. When I installed it, I also set the suspension to the softest setting so it wasn’t a one to one comparison. Blake over at Real Talk Powersports could probably answer your question.

I got it from my dealership. The ones for the 800xc work for the 1000, too. Cfmotousaparts.com and Main Street Cycles in Mississippi are good places to order parts.

I had to take off the fender flares. Other than that, no rubbing at all.

Got them used on Facebook marketplace.

I had to buy the seat. It doesn’t come on the US model. Front tires are 9” wide, rear are 11” wide.

I’m not sure what the brand is. I got it from my local Honda powersports dealer.

@@BroBuilds Thank you Bro builder appreciated the info. have a great ride. bye

You can definitely run it in high still with this setup. Just not in the situation I was in. I guess I didn't make that clear enough in the video. It's because I was running in high at such a low speed with so much resistance from the deep snow.

@@BroBuilds I think u were pretty clear. I wasn’t there for it lol, so I don’t know how hard I were actually pushing it. Was more of a general comment about having found a limitation even in that beast of a machine. Have fun out there👌🏻

​@@samuelyoung2671 Good point. Swapping for bigger tires ads load to the transmission and belts. You basically change the gear ratio by adding approx 10% when going from 27" to 30". It obviously wont help the situation if driving under hard load conditions.

It’s from www.perfexind.com

Still working on the next ATV trailer episode! I have a lot of building to do for this episode!

I have a couple thousand miles on them and no issues yet

@@BroBuilds You keep deleting my comments come on man tell people the truth?? Do not put lift kits in unless you do them right?? if you want the axels to last so you need longer axles to make up for the lift or you put too much strain on them!! simple math just saying 😞

I didn’t think to make a video. I just drilled holes in the metal on top of the big box and bolted it there. I don’t love the location, but it works and I haven’t had any issues.

Definitely! I had a 500s for 4 years and never had a single problem with it.

@@BroBuilds Have a guy I work with thinking about getting one not sure what size . Since I'm new to ATVS what gear should I be using ? I plow with mine in low gear and dont really get on it .

The lift brackets are from perfexind.com

The lift kit is from Perfex and the clutch kit is from Main Street Cycle

Lift kit is from Perfexind.com. Tires were used from Facebook.

The overland comes with fog lights. I just painted the housings.

30x9 up front, 30x11 in the back

@@BroBuilds I appreciate the help. I just ordered the rears.

@@BroBuilds I’m hearing a lot of people say, just change the secondary to B2 or B3 instead of the clutch kit, any ideas if that’ll work? Including RNG?

Yes southern Idaho. This was near Idaho city.

@@BroBuilds ok. When I think southern Idaho, it's like Twin, Pocatello etc. You're only 4 hours north of me. Love me some Idaho. Did you hear they were thinking of combining Utah and Idaho? Gonna call it Udaho!!

I painted the two fog light housings with Krylon patriotic blue. It didn’t hold up great. I’ve since power washed it off. I powder coated the front skid plate and that’s holding up great

I didn’t need them for the tires, but I think when you add a lift, it pulls the tires in a little so they recommend spacers to bring them back out to factory width.

@@BroBuilds so what did you go with ? Even or two different sizes?

9 in the front, 11 in the back. I’m sure 10” wouldn’t rub either.

@@BroBuilds thxs for the reply back really appreciate it was also wondering did u have to take off ur fenders with the bigger tires on the wheeler or do u just like the machine with out them. Also nice vid I’m going to be doing the lift kit because I liked how urs looked with it

I’m not sure, got the kit from Main Street Cycle.

@@BroBuilds thanks, can you tell me what spring and weights were stock? You should either see the number written on the spring, or dabs of paint.

I know people are worried about cfmoto because of being from china, but I can tell you after owning 3 atvs for about 7 years now, I love them. I’ve absolutely abused them and haven’t had any real issues at all. They’ve been awesome!

@@BroBuilds ya. My bro bought two new Hondas don’t start in winter lol last year took 2 days to get them going. Using premium fuel. Heat on the engine etc. are you sponsored by cf moto?

Fantastic! You can see a 900 mile ride I took it on in Arizona on our Bro Builds Garage channel. I put about 1400 miles on it in the first year of ownership. It’s been amazing!

5.08 cm

@@BroBuilds is that a storm lift?

That means it was out of alignment, not clutch problems, it was probably installer error with too much or too little torque on the clutch bolts.

Then you don’t know what you are doing.

Perfexind.com They make great quality products!

I couldn’t use a torque wrench because the clutches just spin. I used my impact gun and loctite.

the torque spec is like 80flbs for both. unless you but the clutch hold tool you cant really torque it with a wrench. i also used a impact at loctite. i haven't put many km on since installing but likewise for my test drive everything seemed ok. im wondering about buying a performance belt to eliminate some of that stock belt slipage.

Yep! Check out our channel Bros in Hats for more dad joke stuff!

I knew it!!! 🤣👍🏻

Absolutely. This is my third cfmoto. I just got back from a 900 mile ride in Arizona with no issues. I have over 1500 miles on each of the other atvs with zero issues. As with other machines, maintenance is key. And one of my favorite things is all the accessories and features you get compared with other brands AND for less money. In the 5 years I’ve owned a CFMoto, there’s also been a huge improvement in aftermarket parts, so they’re catching up there, too.

I own a 2022 cforce 800 and i have a love hate relationship with it. okay firstly it runs very hot, ive reprogrammed the ecu and still runs very hot. a tiny bit of water got into my clutch cover while riding deep and the primary bearing instantly went. they are heavy machines and long, so if you plan on doing mud they aren't the best due to weight and length. so i've installed a ecu reprogram, new clutch bearing, 2" lift kit, 1" wheel spacers, mudder clutch kit, and now shopping for 30" tires and a rad relocate kit. all on a machine that has less that 1500 km on it. also the winch went on it, but that was my buddies kid fault for not keeping tension on cable when he was pulling it out and it jammed. if i could do it all over again id have gotten a can am or a grizzle.

They are junk , I’ve owned two now and with the type of riding I do they fall apart , my Suzuki king quad lasted for ever with very few issues the cf moto was done after 3000 miles Suzuki had 14000 miles on it before the engine went.
