UForce 1000 / Charging Fuse
April 27, 2025, 04:11:09 PM
There is a 40a Fuse by the battery for the charging system. In troubleshooting why my voltage was down to about 9.5 I checked it and it was blown and chalky. I put a new one in and it is holding but the wires and fuse body are very Hot to touch. Doesn't seem normal.
I'm thinking voltage regulator problem but wanted to get a second opinion. I have a manual so I would think somewhere it would tell me how many amps are supposed to be on that circuit which I guess would be my next step.

UForce 1000 / Reading Codes?
January 20, 2024, 09:51:23 AM
My 2023 Uforce 1000   engine light came on when starting off on my morning trapline check. It has had some initial problems on cold mornings cutting off and rough idle but usually gets better as it warms up.
Out of caution I returned to the house but now what ? A quick internet search revealed I need a special tool only available to dealers to read the codes ?  Are they serious?  After a year of use, I think I can see where this is going already, I'm going to end up  having to sell this for whatever I can get and buy something else.  If anybody has any ideas its appreciated.

UForce 1000 / Synthetic Transmission Oil
August 06, 2023, 11:50:49 AM
I'm wondering if anyone else has replaced their transmission oil with synthetic. I was sort of surprised by the increased drivability after doing so. I have to admit that I never checked it before I did my 200m service. I'm not sure there was as much in there as I ended up using to fill to the top hole.  The machine is definitely smoother. The RNG clutch kit was a huge improvement but I'm sort of wishing I had done the transmission first and then the clutch. I also found that driving in 2wd is much smoother than 4wd. I'm also not 100% sold on the factory belt.  I'm starting to think that the so-called 'throttle problems' particularly with the 2022 and 2023 models may be a combination of things not necessarily the throttle. Don't get me wrong, I still think electronic throttle at least CFMOTO's implementation, on a trail machine is not good.

UForce 1000 / First Oil Change
August 01, 2023, 06:28:22 PM
I did my 200m Oil change today and also the transmission fluid both with synthetic versions.  Not the easiest I have ever performed, stuff is really tucked in there with not much concern with getting to it.  The drain bolts were easy enough but I think next time I will find a way to lift it and take off the whole center under shield. Neither the oil or the transmission drained cleanly through the access holes and I ended up with a lot of splashed oil.  Also recommend make sure you have a pump for the transmission fluid or at least a tube.  No way to fit a funnel.  The last bit of joy was that the oil filter 2 pack I purchased came with neither the crush washer or the o-ring I reused the originals so I guess I will keep an eye on it and make sure the next filter I get comes with one.  The transmission bolt also requires a crush ring.

UForce 1000 / Ordered a Clutch Kit
April 19, 2023, 11:56:34 AM
Couldn't stand the Jerky Ride anymore. 2023 Uforce is almost uncontrollable on rough terrain.  It had improved some over 120 miles from brand new a  little but not enough. I ordered a clutch kit from RNG. I will post my results since it seems allot of people have the issue.

UForce 1000 / Creaking sound coming from front
March 02, 2023, 11:14:18 AM
Thought I would break this issue out from my earlier post.  I did a search and found one other user that described this some time back but there was never any follow up information.
The machine is about 3 weeks old  and the creaking started after 2 or 3 days of purchase.  I now have over 100 miles on it.
I have lifted it a couple times, taken the wheels off, inspected anything and everything for looseness and found nothing. I initially thought that it didn't do it with the engine off but I have been able to disprove that by killing the motor and drifting down a hill in N.  To me, sounds like its coming from just under the dash. sounds like something loose and flexing/moving constantly when machine is in motion. I did find a hole  with a bolt thread  and no bolt on the panel below the dash but watching it ..it doesn't seem to move, might be for some accessory.

UForce 1000 / A couple questions
February 18, 2023, 11:11:53 AM
I just bought a 2023  Uforce 1000  and new to the forum.  I've been looking around the forum for a while.  I can confirm that the Jumpy throttle is present in the 2023 model.  I saw that 2 choices were changing the spring in the clutch and getting the ecu reprogrammed however the company that reprograms them only lists to 2021.   
I also don't understand the engine braking. it kicks in the minute you let off the throttle but then completely releases at 4mph and you are freewheeling from that point on. it never kicks back in.  Is that the way its supposed to work? 
getting back on the gas after the engine braking has kicked in is not a smooth thing at all. I basically I feel like you want to never let off the gas because if you do its going to start lurching. Same with going over rough terrain cant keep foot feathered on the pedal on a rough trail.  Its better in High but they say you shouldn't drive in High all the time.
Also this morning noticed some sort of rattle in the front end when driving haven't  been able to figure it out yet.
Any advice from CFMOTO owners with more experience is appreciated.
