I purchased a set of  Heavy Duty Side Steps Nerf Bars For 14-23 Polaris RZR XP 1000/RZR 900 XC from ebay for $29.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/284714903295

I cut off the part that attached the bars to the vehicle and made my own attachments from some 1" rolled steel pipe and 2" angle iron.
I also cut off 3/4" from the curved piece on the top of each bar.

I repainted them with Rust-Oleum spay on Bed Liner.

The bars cost  $70 instead of $300.

A Kawasaki 2020 Teryx Damper Steering Tilt 92161-2186
will fit a 2020 CFMOTO ZForce 800 with very little modification.

You can either replace the handle with your old one or you can grind down the new one.
It is a little too wide. I also passed a 5/16 drill bit through the eye hole.

I added 2 stainless steel washers on each side to the bottom eye hole.

It works great!  My steering wheel no longer drifts upward...

I paid $21.95 for this new shock on ebay.
It is listed at $26.95 but you can make an offer.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Crystal Orange Paint
March 07, 2024, 06:01:53 PM
I went to Mike & Jerry's, one of the local automotive paint store's in my area.
The attached photos are contain the code for what they said is the closest match for CFMOTO Crystal Orange Paint.

It starts out with Mazda Spicy Orange 25T & then I believe he said you add 5 different pearl coats to it.

I purchased a sheet of HPDE 1/2"x36"x96" to upgrade the stock Skid Plate.
I paid $150 for the sheet.

They have warehouses all over the country.

I will post more pics of it as I get it cut out and ready to install.

It will look similiar to this one on ebay but I plan on doing extension in the front and rear under the differentials.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Magneto Removal
December 30, 2023, 12:40:18 PM
I ended up having to tear my motor in half in order to replace the Bearing Housing Drive Bevel Gear Seat  in the transmission.

I decided to go through the engine since it is in half...

I can't get the magneto off. I have the 42mm magneto removal tool.

Is there another part that is between the nut & the magneto that has to be removed first?

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Wet Clutch Problems
November 05, 2023, 03:17:23 PM
I ran into a huge problem with my wet clutch due to CFMOTO using substandard nuts on my 2020 ZForce 800.

The nut that holds the wet clutch on the crank shaft stripped...

I had to cut the original nut off carefully so that I didn't harm the crank shaft.

Unfortunately the stripped nut damaged the threads on the crank shaft.  I decided to file the end of the crank shaft down and then I ordered a 11/18 x 18 LH die, which is the next size smaller thread after the M18x150 original nut. I re-cut the threads on the crank shaft.  I then purchased an high quality 11/16 x 18 LH Jam Nut and I found a washer to go along with it that matched the size and weight of the original nut.

Due to the wet clutch wobbling around it ruined the 6208 bearing on the wet clutch bell housing.   I wasn't sure how to remove but the service manual said to press it out.
I pressed it out and I am currently waiting for the new bearing to arrive.

I did find the reason Carl Malone said it had transmission problems.  The Drive Bevel Gear is busted for the front wheel drive. 
I've already ordered a new part from Sun Coast Cycles and it should be here next week.

I wanted to post this because I'm fairly sure that I'm not the only person to have a problem with the substandard nuts that CFMOTO was using in 2020.
I did notice the new replacement nuts that I ordered from them was made to a higher quality.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / 2020 Zforce 800 Wiring Issues
September 04, 2023, 03:52:02 PM
I just purchased this 2020 Zforce 800. I started working on it because it was sold to me as is due to some problems.  The previous owner added some lights to the roll cage very haphazardly... Can someone tell me where and what the spliced wire go to and is the harness for the winch?   Thanks!

I took a trip to Two Tops MTN near West Yellowstone, MT about a week ago on a side by side and I decided that I had to have one.
It was amazing!
