General Discussion / Re: Engine rpm

I didn't see that 1400 in the book and when I toggled thru to the rpm's I saw 1475 and thought that it seemed very high. Used to most other idle's around 800rpms. Your right on the high idle which mine will probably never see much more than 3500 to 4000. Thanks.

Just purchased a new 500s CFORCE and was wondering what normal idle rpm's are and also what we always called red line rpm would be?

I purchased a 2019 CF 500s about 3 weeks ago and have put 120 miles on it so far.  I traded a 2012 Kymco 450 Maxxer for it, it was great machine and never had any problems but it was 7 years old.  My impressions so far on the 500s is that the fit and finish is top notch, all of the welds look good and solid. I love the EPS and the winch is a great addition not to mention the built in 12v power port and twin USB ports.  The motor is just a tad sluggish for a 498cc engine in my opinion as compared to the former 450i Kymco and I also have a 2015 Polaris 570 Sportsman.  My only issue is that my gas gauge is inaccurate, it reads empty well before the tank is empty.  Beyond that it runs great, the ride is fine for me and the shocks also have an adjustable preload.  I am quite happy so far. But if you do decide on one be sure check the front skid plate as the two front mounting bolts were missing on mine, a cheap $1.50 fix.

.  My bolts were also not in skid plate but they were in a small bag with owners manual and tool kit.
