After much thought I just bought a USA 2023 CFORCE 800XC. I saw where CFMOTO updated the 2023 CFORCE 600 Touring and thought I would see those updates on my 2023 800XC. When I went to pick it up out of town my machine did not have the turn signal/flasher controls on the handlebars or the park lockout. Also it did not have mirrors on it. I am not sure if the newer 800XC had the other updates of a new engine head, stronger frame and engine damping like the new 2023 CFORCE 600 has received.
I have seen 2023 CFORCE 800XC's online with the turn signal/flasher controls on the handlebars and the park lockout. Do I have a 2022 model being called a 2023 or are there 2023 models that come with different features? I have seen where you can determine the year of manufacture by the serial number, is that correct?
I wanted a 2023 because I was told by a CFMOTO salesman/mechanic that he saw improvement in quality when KTM became part owner of CFMOTO and would go with a new 2023 over a new 2022 closeout model. I am going to call the dealership this week to see what their answer is but wanted to do some research before I did.
Thanks for any help.
