This will be some insight into build info and parts swapping on my 2019. This will back date to 2014 bikes also but with some small changes here and there. Z force and U force will also apply to the drive line as many parts are shared!
This is a 50" wide ATV, the brochure doesnt say this but its actually 50" wide, this is very stable! with the stiff-ish stock springs it handles well. The springs arent bad just a little high in rate, if your looking for improvements read on!
Current changes: spring swap, polaris lock and ride attachement, clutching, carry box, tires and coming soon a dynojet tuner and exhaust!
So the beginning, it was stock but I noticed the ride was a little harsh. After some measuring and calculating I determined the size and rates of a polaris sportsman 570 touring model will work. With a little trimming of the rear multirate spring it slid right on the shock body. Fronts required no modification. The preload tried multiple settings and found i personally liked full stiff preload front and rear. This allowed the suspension to sit at 80% extended without a rider and 70% with a 200lbs rider on board. Pretty close to the sweet spot.
Spring swap is done, now tires...these Abuzz tires are...ok there very thin and light which is great for performance but snow traction is absolutely horrible. Loose terrain in general and mud traction is great. Rocks...average. Overall there decent tires actaully there just hard compounded and require very low pressures to get any flex for rocks. So I decided Im gonna stuff the largest tire I can on! I took a few measurements and found 30" tires would work, but I couldnt do the width I wanted so I settled on 29-9 front and 29-11 rear. There SunF A033, essentually a maxxis bighorn clone and let me tell you, its not...but they do work good so far in all conditions including snow, this was more of a factor for me for plowing and deep snow riding. Overall for the money they work. These are mounted on stock wheels which are 14x7 front with 5+2 and backs are 14x8 with 6+2. Essentually the front and rear trackwidth is the same from rim face to rim face.
There is a Kolpin box on the front for carrying things around like a chainsaw and straps. Whats really cool is CFMOTO made a clone of the Canam and polaris quick connect systems and combined them. Some accessories work, some dont. I run the Kolpin Grips for a polaris lock and ride, there a single bushing expansion system that fits on the rack holes. Can am uses a similar attachment but its more oval shaped.
A few other little changes are I took the fender flares off due to width issues, and to me the handlebar guards are very strange looking. So I flipped them upside down and body line wise it matches better and generally just looks better. More canam like!
FUTURE: working on a powercommander 5 tuner and tunes for 800cc engines, and exhaust slip on system. The headers are built well, there is a cataylist on these, they dont really take away any power so im gonna leave it since it does cut down on the smell of fuel in the exhaust. If it were to come apart though Id cut it out bur for now it doesnt hurt anything, the header size and angles are great the restriction is the exhaust. After some digging I found a company who did a slip on for a 2016 and the exhaust alone gained 8HP at the tires without tuning anything! It appeared the cat was in place. I want to dyno mine in the future as development goes!
