ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Weird noise
July 30, 2022, 12:03:44 PM
Went out today for a bit of a drive round but came home early.
When I got to 55mph +- a few mph there is a horrible kind of grating/rumbling noise.
As soon as you go below 50mph the noise dissapears.
I'll take a look soon and report back, maybe I drove over some green peace Liberal do gooder.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / tyre sizes
July 01, 2022, 12:40:10 PM
can I rotate the rear tyres to the front? So 26x11-14 front and rear
I thought my fronts wore out too quickly, previous owner had 30psi on each corner.
totally my fault I should have checked them.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Tyres
June 22, 2022, 04:28:25 AM
Hi.
My tyres are soon going to need replacing.
I don't have the luxury of a trailer so I need to drive to different green lane areas, some are a hour away.
This wears on the tyres really hard.
Does anyone in the cfmoto forum world know of a hard wearing tyre for the road that's also good in muddy conditions?
Cheers for taking the time to read this.

General Discussion / Z800 EX gasket thickness
June 14, 2022, 05:02:51 AM
I'm about to change the wet clutch on my zforce 800 ex.
Does anyone know the gasket thickness for the 2 gaskets? just in case they tear

I want to check the wet clutch on my z force 800 but I don't want to miss something crucial.
Does anyone know of a good YouTube video that explains it?
I've looked and have only found drive belts and pulleys etc, nothing about wet clutches.

A 'fix for this would be appreciated

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Acceleration
May 13, 2022, 03:11:08 PM
Just bought a 2013 zforce 800 ex. Gave it a service as the acceleration from standstill was jerky. Get this, spark plugs were finger tight I couldn't believe it, but it hasn't cured it. If I'm moving and accelerate it's perfect. If I'm sitting still at traffic lights etc I have to gently feed the power on, if I put my foot down it pulls away sharp. If I use between gently accelerating and full throttle it jumps and jerks about, classic kangaroo petrol. I just wondered if anyone else has this problem, or anyone who's fixed it, maybe it's normal??

General Discussion / Under the drivers seat
April 26, 2022, 01:03:07 PM
Hi.
Just been looking around our 2013 cfmoto z800.
Under the drivers seat there is a lid with 2 Philips screws, im assuming it's where the battery used to live.
I found a small rectangular device that has a wire going to a long thin thing that's stuck to the heel board and 3 wires, yellow (no idea) black (earth) and red (power) although the red is not connected to the battery.
I'm thinking it's maybe a GPS? Any help would be appreciated.

Introduce Yourself and Your Ride / Z800 EX
April 21, 2022, 12:34:08 PM
Just spent a week in hospital draining their supplies of blood, got out and found a z800 exhaust on the drive, thankyou to my wife Debbie.
It's a 2013 with 1100 miles on it. I did have a pogo bug racer years ago and this is leagues ahead, proper powerful ktm-ish engine.
Did 50 miles yesterday in and out of the countryside down leafy dusty lanes.
I got within a mile of home and it just cut out, luckily the house I broke down outside belonged to a nice guy who towed me home. 
I found the main fuse from the live terminal of the battery had blown. Replaced it and it starts and idles nicely. Only problem I have is 2 red wires that look like they should be connected to something,  charging is ok at 14.47v. I'll attach a few photos incase anyone has come across this before.
Cheers guys.
