Wow, glad I asked!

Seems like this is an example where the owner's manual doesn't jibe very well with real world practice/use.

thanks!

Hi-

  I'm soon to be the owner of 2 brand new 2023 CForce 500s (pick them up in about a 1 and a half weeks).  While waiting to get them, I'm reading through the owners manual and found this:

"Low gear is the preferred transmission gear selection for all forward motion other than prolonged high speed travel. Do not use high gear for continuous slow speed travel or towing, as this can lead to excessive heating of the clutch system, which may damage components."

  This took me by surprise, as my previous ATVs all used "High gear" as the preferred gear for all but slow or towing or plowing forward motions.

  I guess every manufacturer is different and gears their ATVs differently.

  I'm wondering at what speed do you all start using High gear?  20 mph, 25, 30?

  This is my first CFMOTO, so want to start it off right and not burn up any belts.
