Newbie CFMoto owner!
I have recently bought a 2014 CF500-5B from a family member with just 250 miles on it.   It's in great condition and seems to be a fairly well designed machine.   I do all my own maintenance on my vehicles and was looking for future parts sourcing.  Is Alpha-Sports.com the only on-line US parts supplier?   They have a minimum $20 order that makes getting a few small parts seemingly impossible.
TIA

As a focused parts group..ie a one-stop parts place, yeah, I think Alpha-Sports is it but there are other places to piece some parts together like Alibaba.com, cfmotoparts.net/, Amazon, ebay, Side x Side Stuff.com, vmcchineseparts.com and a few others. I'm sure others will also chime in with their finding. Not to forget the dealers can get parts as well.

Appreciate the feedback. Very useful.
Alpha-sports is the most comprehensive, especially for some of the small plastic parts, but with that minimum order value, it's somewhat of a pain.  Unfortunately the nearest CFMoto dealer is a good travel distance away.

Some dealers will ship to you if asked.

I always toss-in an oil filter or something I know I will need to make that minimum order. I have three oil filters on the shelf right now...lol

Yeah, I thought of that, but Amazon has oil filters for much less than Alpha.  I did think about a new foam air filter.  On inspection, the joins were coming apart on both the primary and the secondary.  However, since they are simply super-glued in the first place, that's how I fixed them at zero cost.  I only need a couple cosmetic plastic parts so athere's really no rush.  I'll be using my ATV as a workhorse around the property.  So, I'm sure i'll be needing some more expensive mechanical parts at some point!

Yeah if it still has the OE factory paper air filter in it you sure will.

Agreed! That stock air filter is crap. I went with a UNI and I suggest you do the same if you like the wheeler lol! But seriously, use a quality air filter.
Here is the one I got for about $20

This one has the OEM two layer foam filter.  The joins were coming apart, (and whoever installed them last time didn't stagger the joints!), but I simply super-glued them back together.  That's how the original join was done after all.   Good as new now.

What we are referring to is how much dirt a brand new oe filter will let pass through. The oe filters have a high micron filtration. Just get some kind of high quality 2 stage oiled air filter. Make sure you oil it properly, never ring it out just squeeze it out. Your wheeler will thank you for it!

FYI
I ordered a new brake switch and some small plastic body parts from Alpha-Sports, but the plastic parts didn't fit!   I was using the 2014 CFORCE CF500-2 ATV (1-Seater) 500cc listing and it turns out my model (2014 CF500-B), for the parts lists on their website, is actually under 2014 CFORCE X5 SWB ATV EFI (1-Seater) 500cc.

[ADR58]

Alpha-Sports told me I can send them back the parts that don't fit and order the right ones on their website.   {It might not be worth it if the shipping is as much as the parts.}   However, three's  minimum order value of $20 (and add about $11 to that for shipping).  I was told to order a few spare filters to get the value above $20.   Yeah right!
I'll be waiting until I actually need something of value.

Yep, alpha Motorsport just sucks! I ordered a fan motor and received the wrong one and it was broken. I even called him to confirm the part description before ordering. Payed extra for insurance too. I sent pictures to him of the broken vent and never heard back. I had to call him, and I was willing to silicone the broken vent in exchange for a discount and free shipping on my next order that I wanted to place that same day. He only offered 10% off my next order and wouldn't take my order over the phone. He said to just make a note of the discount on the order. But you have to pay in full when placing an online order so how the hell was I ever going to get the discount. In my opinion he is just a shit head. And obviously doesn't keep any of these parts in stock with how long it took to get it anyway. So I ordered my parts from my lame local dealer and still got them cheaper than I would after his 10% off + shipping. I only used alpha this one time and it was the last.
