Welcome. Nice rig.

I never had any issues with the hex bolts snagging. Here's a pic of mine
I just recently put on a cool skid plate, links are in the 500 ho part of this forum

Hi. Are you still liking the machine? I am very close to making a purchase decision, and these 500HO's just seem like the best bang for the buck, especially the two up seating. Any problems worth mentioning? Has it stranded you, that would suck here in the Idaho back country.

I've loved it!!! I got stuck yesterday in it but the winch pulled me out no problem. I haven't had any issues with mine at all. All id like is a little more power. Not that it doesn't have enough. I'm just wanting to see the full potential in it. we tried pulling it from behind with another fourwheeler but after I dug the hitch out of the mud I realized I didn't put my hook on lol. So I just used the winch and a tree in front.

Still loving it, was out on the Kasilof beach AK putting it through it's paces.
It's pretty sexy to say the least and gets a lot of looks from people wondering what it is.
Hauls all of our nets and gear to the water front. Very happy.

Hey everyone! I'm Daniel and I'm a firefighter in Concord Nc. I just bought a new 2016 cforce 500HO the other day! It's the titanium grey one.
[/ congratulations on the new bike I'm picking up a 500 Z-Force 500 H.O next Wednesday just curious have you heard any rumors to the oil getting in the airbox someone on here earlier said there's a problem with the 502 getting oil in the air box

I haven't had that issue at all. Have owned it for 6-7 months now with no issues

Welcome, nice color, good machine.
