New Cforce 500 HO 2 Up owner and glad I found this forum. I've had a few issues that were starting to cause me some concern, but it sounds like you are all still pretty proud of your machines. I had to have the seals replaced in the water pump at 700 kms and blew the belt at 850 kms. I put 27 " STI Out&Back AT on and think that may have been what caused the early belt brake. Read a post on here about reclocking the clutch to fix that issue. Other than that I have been loving riding the machine and had been receiving tons of comments on the appearance. This forum has helped to re-establish my confidence in the purchase...thanks!
