After completing some work on my Cforce 450L I took a ride and found a man made pond that was almost drained and yep you guessed it, I could not resist and ended up getting stuck 3 times. Good test of the front and rear winches. How do you guys wash your machines after something like this? Anyway enjoy the pics.

Where Did You Ride This Weekend? / Stuck
April 11, 2022, 12:01:01 AM
Had surgery and had not ride this year. Finally was able to go out today and it was awesome...got stuck in the mud and everything.
Fitted some cheap remote controls for the front and the rear mounted winch and they are not reliable at all. Any of you guys have issues with remote control winches?

CForce 400/450 / How to wire a LED light bar.
October 03, 2021, 05:24:41 PM
I got a 20 inch light bar that came with a wiring harness. The harness has a negative or ground terminal, and on the positive side there is an inline fuse, a relay, a toggle switch with a light, and finally connectors to plug up to two different lights. I tried connecting the positive and negative wires directly to the battery and it works but the problems is that with that connection if I forget to turn off my led light bar, it would drain the battery. How can I wire the light to get power only when the ignition is on? Where would be a good point on the machine to get the power from? On the front of the ATV near the relay box I found a plug that it is use to have daytime running lights if plugged, or been able to turn them with the handlebar switch if it is unplugged. It is a pretty thin wire but it does work only when the ignition is turned on. (Please refer to the attached pictures to see the plug). Can i hook up the positive terminal of the harness to such a small wire?

CForce 400/450 / No Electrical Power
July 11, 2021, 06:17:05 PM
Did not ride that day just took the ATV out of the garage to inspect possible locations to install a rear mounted winch. I did not disconnected or disassembled anything at all. Took it back to the garage and park it in reverse. I stopped and everything just died. ATV vas still in reverse gear and I lost all power without turning the ignition key to the off position or switching the fuel pump off (kill switch). The dashboard turned off, the engine stoped and now I cannot get any electric power anywhere. When turning the ignition key to the on position the dashboard does not come light up, I have no lights, no turning signals, no horn, no fuel pump, no hazard lights. The only thing that works is the winch which is wired directly from factory to the positive and negative terminals of the battery and also the brake light when I apply the hand and the foot brake does work. Following the red cable coming out of the battery I only found one 30 amp fuse on the ignition relay that is good, also tested the started relay and it all seems to be in working order, then the wire harness goes under the front fender and it is impossible to follow without taking the machine appart. There is another 40 amp fuse but it is connected to some wire harness on the negative terminal and that is also ok. Checked all the 9 relays (lights, fan, and starter etc) on the from of the machine and they are all securely connected.
Is there anything like a main fuse on this machines? if there is, where is it located?
What else can I check?

June 23, 2021, 11:00:01 AM
Hello friends,
Can anyone that has a 450L with the from plastic rack cover please send me a picture of it. My dealer delivered my atv without it and I'm trying to get it but they are playing dumb.
Many thanks.

Where Did You Ride This Weekend? / June 17 swimming lesson.

Hey guys just wanted to show you the awesome high elevation mountain lake I went to today. It is 4000 meters so around 13100 feet above sea level. Do any of you have a clue on how many horses my machine has at this altitude?

CForce 400/450 / EFI light on
March 28, 2021, 06:02:36 PM
Have a new issue with my machine. Today after maybe 30 mins on dirt road, the EFI light starters flashing. I stoped and turne the machine off. (Thought it might be overheating even-thought the temp. gauge displayed only 2 bars so normal operating temperature). Came back after enough time had passed and as soon as I put the crank the ignition to the on position the EFI light flashes continuously, it never makes a pause, it never stops, it does not goes steady on and it does not turn off either. Tuner the engine on it everything seems to be functioning normally, there is no unusual noice, no loss of power, no crazy temperatures nothing I could detect. Drove back home with the light blinking and parked the machine. Cannot find anything about a constantly flashing EFI light. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks

CForce 400/450 / Clutch Issue
February 27, 2021, 12:41:51 AM
I got my ATV stuck in the mud and everything was underwater for over an hour. The CVT assembly was definitively under water and when I opened it up to check it I discovered there was mud everywhere. I took apart only the primary clutch to give it a deep clean yet was unable to take the secondary clutch apart since I do not have the proper size socket. I cleaned everything from the baked mud and after reassembling and testing the machine I now have the problem that the clutch is always engaged and the belt is never fully released. This makes it impossible to switch gears while the engine is running. I have to turn the engine off to be able to move the gear selector and put it in the desire gear before turning the engine on. Once I get moving there is no problem and the machine works just fine. I did put all the parts back in the right order, including both the nylon and the steel washer in the primary clutch. I was thinking about staking more washers to have more tension to be able to push the clutch plate away and release the belt. Is that a good idea to try? What else could be done to solve this issue? Can you thing of anything else that can be causing this little issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

CForce 400/450 / CVT Belt
February 18, 2021, 11:08:59 PM
Hello everyone.
Does anyone know the size of the CVT belt for a 2020 Cforce 450L?. I tried looking in the owners manual and the service manual but no luck there. Also looking at the belt there are some markings yet they are unreadable. Please send links of possible options or perhaps a part number.
Any helps is appreciated.

CForce 400/450 / Automatic reverse lights
October 10, 2020, 10:49:55 PM
I have a new 2020 Cforce 450L and love it but the only thing missing is some reverse or backup lights. Is there any way to fit some leds in the back and run the wires to the trailer power socket to get the lights to turn on automatically when I shift the ATV to reverse? Is there an easier way? Does anyone have the wiring diagram of the trailer power socket? Any other ideas to do this?
