a few questions ?
« on: February 14, 2023, 06:52:44 PM »
I have a 2018 Z force 800 trail and i'm digging thru the internet
alot of the time for parts,things that make doing stuff easier and
just things in general for it.
I see alot of stuff that say's z force 800 trail / z force 800 ex.
Are these the same machine?If not what's the difference?
Been looking at the wheel bearing greaser on ebay.Does anyone use
this if so which one?Dont want to order the wrong one.
What is the advantage of the 1/2 windshield?
Thank you ....Bob

the difference between trail and ex is the trail is 50 inches wide, not 100% sure but think ex is 60 inches wide, so most parts are same till you get into suspension , a arms, axles.  I don't have a half windshield on mine but a full, think it be great to half a folding one, that you can do both.

Yeah only the suspension (a-arms.axles,shocks,tie rods..etc) is different between the trails and the EX. I bought the CFM half windshield when I bought mine and was never more disappointed. Useless in my opinion. It just collects dust in the shed. Bought a SATV flip. Never more satisfied and happy. Greasers...up to the other day I was dead set against them but when I had one front side apart to replace a bad CV boot and found the bearings dry but not warn yet I decided I would give one a try. These bearings have 2000 dry(meaning almost never in water) miles. I didn't like the price of some I found but I did order two different types- one that for sure I would have to remove the axle from the knuckle to grease and one that held the possibility that it could be done by just removing the axle nut. That one was a bust for that.. but both will work by removing the knuckles from the axles. The RED Amazon one for sure as I haven't tried the silver one yet. But both should be fine. There is a writeup in the Info Center section with links. I was about to start pulling down the other side front today to do that bearing but..it's still cold here and I'm feeling lazy...lol
