CForce 400/450 / 2022 clutch engagement question
December 22, 2022, 10:12:39 PM
I have a 2022 Cforce EPS 400. I bought it to replace my old Suzuki 300 king quad.  The 400 is great but I find the initial clutch engagement is not as smooth as the Suzuki when trying to maneuver at slow speeds.  I use it for plowing snow and cutting new trails and general yard work.  I find that you have to throttle up to about 2200 rpm for initial engagement and then the machine accelerates too quickly unless you really control the throttle In low or high.  A bit too much throttle after engagement it takes off like the secondary is shifting to soon and letting off a bit it disengages.  Initial throttle input isn't linear like the Suzuki or a typical vehicle.  My question is if I add a couple grams to each of the primary clutch weights to lower engagement rpm and then reclock the secondary to A1 or even C1 to add more preload to delay the upshift, will this give more torque and a more linear speed control at low speed.  I don't mind if I lose a few mph top speed as compared to the Suzuki  this thing is a Ferrari.  If anyone has tried this or has thoughts I would like to hear from you before I try different things.

Picked up my new 400.  Have had numerous cheap 2wd Chinese quads and a 96 Suzuki King Quad 300 for snow plowing for years.  The Suzuki is a tank but was getting tired so decided to step up to this new 400 as my main workhorse.  Just hoping it can live up to the King Quad.

General Discussion / Cforce400 EPS throttle Question
March 11, 2022, 07:36:15 PM
Hi all. I'm new here as I just picked up my 2022 Cforce 400 EPS here in Ontario.  Having owned an old Suzuki king quad 300 for years i have a question about the throttle and clutch on this new machine.  As soon as I drove it I noticed that while in low range as soon as I gave it some gas the clutch engaged and the quad would move very slow but then felt like the throttle had almost no effect for a fair amount of thumb movement and then the quad would power up quickly.   My Suzuki was very linear in comparison.  This makes for tight maneuvering not too comfortable.  Definitely would not feel comfortable driving up ramps into a truck.  Has anybody else found this or should I be questioning the dealer.  It also does the same in high and reverse.  It just feels like a real flat spot after idle.
