Aftermarket clultch kits

2022 Zforce 800 Trail

I picked up my machine from the local CFMoto dealer today (JT Cycle in Michigan), they just did 1st service on my machine. I bought an RNG Performance / Stingray Mods torque optimized clutch kit, had dealer install it for me. When I pressed the throttle, the machine felt like a true automatic transmission, SMOOOTH.  WOW! It's only a 1/2 mile driving from the dealer to my house, but what a difference!

Dealer put almost 10 miles on it "test driving". I suspect they had fun out back in the dirt & a few road miles.  ;D

Details on my machine:

That's great! I just bought a stage 1 from RNG just waiting on it to show up... hopefully it gets rid of the notchyness in reverse or at least makes it more useable... probably will be going with the spring and helix down the road. Update us when you get some miles under your rig and let us know how it goes.

RNG put together a full kit to optimize torque - both springs, weights & multi angle helix.

At the dealership, the machine was already pointed towards the street, I just put it in high range and drove away. It's definitely very, very nice in high range.

After I read your post, I went out to the machine in the driveway, moved it in reverse, then forward in low range. It hits HARD in reverse & low range, instantaneous just a few rpm off throttle. At the dealership, it barked the tires when the service manager backed it out of the shop.  ;D

I emailed RNG asking about this, he said "Yes sir, the clutch gains extra power"  IMHO, just from a couple feet of testing, that is kind of an understatement!  ;D I'm in no way complaining  ;)

Unfortunately the closet dirt for some play time is about an hour away - an off road park, or USFS / state trail system. The trucking company next door to the dealership might get miffed if I create a dust storm out back, getting their Peterbilts & Kenworths dirty. Even tho I'm street legal, my machine is too conspicuous to go thrashing on dirt roads nearby. I would not be surprised if, in low range & from a dead stop, it might pin me to the seat almost like a Tesla in drag race / ludicrous mode, which I have experienced in the passenger seat. I'm almost kinda nervous to find out, cuz I don't wanna start breaking stuff!

There is now an imaginary egg between my shoe & throttle pedal  8)

I told RNG I wanted my machine to pull like a farm tractor, as my machine will be loaded to max weight & pulling a heavily loaded gear trailer. I'm pretty sure I got what I asked for! Your experience will likely be different from mine, depending on what you tell him about your machine & how you drive it.

I prolly won't ever know top end speed, I don't care about going fast. I only need find out if the rpm around 45 - 55mph increased. Machine interior is now partially disassembled, adding closed cell foam heat barrier everywhere I can. Might be about a week, maybe two, before I drive it again.

The stage 1 from rng, spring and weights took mostly all the notchy-ness out of my cforce... that's good... don' t know about other enhancements it may have done but right now I am happy with the results.

I put one in my zforce 500 over the winter.  Had it out for 2 trips to offroad parks.  Definitely got the power I was looking for out of it.  I also bought the heavy tire Helix even though I have stock tires.  I spoke with Stingray Mods in depth and he thought it was best considering all the added weight I have (doors, spare tire, armor, etc.).  I even climbed a few hills in high by accident and found the power to still be there at the top of the hill.  Hope that wasn't too bad on the belt but didn't feel it slip once.
