Hey welcome to the site neighbour, just up the road in Kemble

Thanks NMKawierider for your response, I'll give your suggestions/advise a try and advise how I made out

I have an issue with irregular tire wear on the front tires of my 2020 500HO two-up, one side is wearing on the outside, the other side is wearing on the inside. I checked the toe-in as per the manual and it seemed within spec but I was wondering about the "string method" to more accurately check toe in, something isn't right with the wear patterns. Checked front end components including the wheel bearings, all is good there.

Has anyone used this method that can provide some help/advise/guidance or another fix. Any and all will be appreciated,
thanks 

hey Eddie, what is the RPM idle on your machine, as it turns out the problem I thought was clutching was not, it was the idle was set way to high, the was a posy on this forum about the jerky ride at low speed and to correct was an adjustment of the idle to I think about 650 but check that. I idled down my machine and all is good. 

So its 2020 and CFMoto and some of its dealers still haven't corrected or want to correct the low speed drive ability issues related to the CF500 HO. I have, or should I say had the same issues as all of you have posted about, some posts as far back as 2017. I seriously considered getting rid of it and going to a Polaris when I eventually came across the posts on this site all stating the same things I was bitching about, AWESOME. 
My dealers response when I asked about not being able to maintain a smooth ride under 4000 RPM was that "all new ATV's are like that" and wanted nothing more to do with it. He suggested to try tuning the clutch, and I thought maybe the EBS one-way bearing and even posted a thread asking for help or info. Nope that wasn't it either, as it turns out its just an extremely difficult to access idle set screw and a couple of hours of my time that has the problem fixed. It rides great at low speed making things a lot more enjoyable ride on the trails.
Just wanted to let everyone know the issue still exists in 2020 and the fix is right here on this forum.
Thanks to all who contributed to the original post and found an fairly easy resolve to a problem that should have been, at the very least corrected at the dealer.
Thanks again, much appreciated. 

the secondary was from the service manual, my service manual states 40nm-30ft lbs for the primary nut, but CVtech web site info states 70-80 for the primary nut and the primary bolt number came from the dealer, he also gave me the 150nm for both the secondary and primary nut, think hes off on them, but no totally sure, somewhat confusing for sure.

does anyone have the clutch torque specs for a 2020 500 HO, I've got some but they seem to be all over the place. This is what I think is correct

secondary nut 115nm-85 ft lbs
primary bolt 60nm - 45 ft lbs
primary nut 70- 80 ft lbs,

can anyone confirm these numbers I have as high as 150nm-110ft lbs for both the secondary and primary nut, sounds high to me, also 40nm-30ft lbs for the primary bolt, that sounds low. any help would be appreciated.

Hey,
thanks for your response and past along knowledge, seems things are a little more complicated than I first thought. I think i'll just learn to live it for now, it make's sense, just not for the smoothest ride at times

Its a 500HO 2 up, soft may not have been the right word, find on the slow run that its in and out type of thing, from what i see and read its the way its suppose to be, just wondering if anyone came across something that was a little less aggressive, thanks

does anyone know of a softer,or less aggressive one way bearing that can be changed out with the original engine brake one way bearing, works great at high speed but a real pain at low speed on the rough trails
