Found a 2021  CF Moto Z Force 800 Trail.  It has been garage kept and only used the last two hunting seasons, with only 350 miles on it. 

Here's the kicker...  at 250 miles, the engine went wonky and the owner took it in to the dealer.  The result was a complete engine rebuild on warranty.  The last year the owner has driven it another 100 miles and it is running perfect.

My neighbor bought a used 500 Trail about two years ago, used.  In the first month of ownership, his engine went bad and he had to pay $1,700 out of pocket for an engine rebuild.  But ever since the, his UTV has been running like a top and he has put about 3,000 miles on it, worry free.

Should I be concerned about that 800 Trail?

For me if it was a create engine replacement I wouldn't be too concerned but if it was rebuilt by the shop...I wouldn't even consider it. Why? because one that fails that quickly has..and will have serious issues that will only be alleviated by a complete engine replacement. IMO..

I purchased it this morning.

Blown engine was replaced with crate engine and it runs really nicely.

Once there and talking with the owner, he took it in for a 200 mile service and the tech didn't put the air box back together properly and it sucked dirt.

I own a Cforce 1000 Overland AVT, so I am well aware of the service these machines require.  Yes, I wlll be checking the valves and replacing all fluids when it hits 500 miles, which will be 200 miles on the new engine.

Got a great deal for $6,500 with a windshield, spare tire, mirrors and tie downs. 

Our property is only a mile from National Forest, so we run it up the road and took her for a spin.  The wife being a motorcycle rider, had never driven a UTV before and she was all smiles.

Nice!  My CF500 is white... I think it's a good look on the Z Force, too.  Enjoy it in good health.
