have a 2022 800 that has 2000 miles. started smoking and taken to dealer . they did compression test and stated that was fine and suggsted to replace the oil seals. that was done and they stated that would fix the issue. First ride and was still continuing to smoke. Drove just over 10 miles and stopped to check oil level. Barely any showing on dipstick. added oil till full and returned to parking lot. checked oil again and was barely registered on dip stick. Dealer states entire top end needs rebuilt to cure the problem. Engine runs like a watch, just smokes worse now than before they worked on it. What would be the cause for this ?
I had the same issues then the engine pretty much blew up. Dealer says it will need to be replaced. Not at all happy with Moto at this point.
I will be replacing motor and modifying air intake, or selling and buy a polaris.
Good luck going forward and interested to hear how things go.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Engine blown

I have a 2022 Zforce 800 with 2400 miles on it. The engine pretty much shrapneled and pretty much junk. The dealer said it was related to the air filter and dirt. I had replaced the stock filter with a better brand and was pretty good about keeping things clean.
That being said. My plan is to purchase new motor and replace, pretty unhappy about this being I only drove this thing for 8 months.
Going forward I would like to upgrade the air filtration system to something more easily accessible and better. Anyone else do this?
Thanks for any advice.
