Greetings we just purchased a 2017 zforce ex800 and I wanted to get acquainted with some of the other people who own the side-by-sides we're from East Tennessee not new to Outdoor Sports just to this particular brand and hopefully I will have something to contribute to the board with time, but I will probably be asking a few questions here in there as all people do with new machines

My mechanical skill levels are a little bit above average I've worked on everything from caterpillars to bulldozers to Harley-Davidson Pig pens and a little bit beyond. Computers have been my passion for the last 18 years or so) and just like to thank you all for inviting me into your community and look forward to meeting some of the people here

PS if you see something I posted and it doesn't make sense it's because I'm talking to a tablet and not having to type all this out

Welcome. Glad you found us.

I was just down in Pioneer Tennessee at Ride Royal Blue about a month ago.
I had an issue with my machine not starting, so I ran it to a dealer in Caryville, TN just west of I-75.
They had my machine in and out of the shop in less than 30 minutes. So if this is your dealer, I have HIGH compliments to them.

Welcome. Glad you found us.

Was a little busy yesterday with the NEW Granddaughter but I finally made my way over here
Got a question what should drive belts cost for this thing on average?

Well, the OE belt is over 300 bucks but most are using the Gates Carbon belt for about 110 or a little less.  This one. https://www.amazon.com/Gates-Drive-ZForce-CForce-40C3691/dp/B01COA7YGQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468528239&sr=8-1&keywords=40c3691

Thats around what i had figured they might cost, some what cheaper than what the local shop where this thing was purchased from had quoted I think he quoted around $275, i was like Naaaa ill pass! 😁

Welcome to the group!  I can't say enough about the crew we have here. As far as the brand is concerned, I'd say you made a great choice in CFMoto. I've had great luck with mine as many others here have. Feel free to ask anything you want, 99.9% chance one or more of us have dealt with whatever you may need to figure out.

Thank you, ive been doing a lot of reading trying to get my bearings, it'll take a little while but I'll get the hang of it, main thing right now is learned where everything's at like anything new

Most people have trouble finding the battery and the air filter. Battery is in front of the drivers side rear tire, and the air filter is in front of the passenger side rear tire.
Fuse "box" is under the dash by the steering column, thermoswitch (if/when) needed changed is the brass fitting screwed into the radiator(passenger side) with two wires running to it.
Pre filter (nylon sock) is in the vent between the seats. CVT filter is behind the vent (left side of the drivers seat.)
Just to name a few.

Thank you gfmoto, That should be a Sticky!
