10-4 NMK. Glad to hear your suspicions are that it's different. Has the design changed in the current iteration of the ZForces? Just curious. It almost seems like they designed the entire machine and at the last minute remembered that they had forgotten to design an intake and scribbled it on a napkin at lunch and sent it to manufacturing! To think some of us (glen) resorted to a leftover pizza box to fashion some thing better should embarras the crap out of those peeps at the factory. Thanks for your response NMK.

Hi all. My needs are changing so I'm looking at changing up to a Uforce 800. I've had a blast in my modded ZForce 800 trail but I really need to get one with a dumper bed. I rockhound and a bed would be nice when I'm off-roading back out of the mountains in the Mojave Desert with tools and a bunch of heavy agate/Jasper. I'm wondering if the 2023 UForce 800 suffers from the same cockmamy air intake issues as my ZForce 800 did until I did my mod. Which by the way changed everything and after 1000 miles is still working flawlessly for air intake and the CVT intake/exhaust.

Yep. Their overhead bags are great. I got one for my 2021 Z8 Trail 53 a few years ago and I put everything in it. Jackets, extra gloves, paper maps, and many other essentials. Quality construction, good fitment and trail tested. Mine is going strong with no complaints. My wife likes it too. Plenty of room for her stuff too.

WTH. I was trying to post images of the myriad of pop ups I get on my end of the forum using my IPhone or IPad even after clearing cashes, history, Etc.. and everything went poof. My original posting about remote battery post location suggestions is gone as well as discussion regarding reason for ads and suggested ways to abate them. Heres just a few of the dozens that pop up. I gotta get this adblocker you guys were all mentioning.

Thanks for the ad tips. I access the forum primarily on my IPAD and IPHONE now. I'll have to look into your cache clearing suggestions on those. I know how to clear all on my Win desktop. Haven't had to do it on my Apple devices until now.
10-4 on the install locations. I'll take ur advice on that.
Thanks.

Man is this forum polluted with annoying ads. Cripes. Makes it cumbersome to use. I just purchased a pair of remote post to install on my ZForce800 Trail 53 and was wondering where others have located these. The included cables are 3' long so thats the range if I use them.

Thanks NMK. Will check all connections you mention and chase down this gremlin. No more unaccompanied trips beyond walking distance until I find the definitive culprit.

1st time with this issue. Electrical system is completely stock. Batt was charged. Ran some pretty rough, dry but dusty Mojave Desert to mountain, sandy, dusty, rocky trails, (25 miles). Parked at an open claim, mined some agate and loaded up. That's when it happened. Park, foot on brake, turned key, charged EFI and no crank. Tried pumping the brake pedal to cycle the switch and nada. Tested fuses, put a battery jump starter on it and same result. No crank. Jumped the starter and it turned over but no start. Pulled a couple of relays but couldn't get 1/2 started relays to budge, thought I might damage them if I kept trying. Sun was dropping fast so opted to get towed out by my buddy via my front winch cable. Mistake. Thought I was going to die for sure. After a few harrowing miles of that nonsense We stopped. I tried the key and bingo, it fired. I motored the rest of the way to camp. Now I'm kinda reluctant to ride out in the boonies for fear of it happening again. Any ideas? Relays whack? Where can I get replacements.

10-4. Input appreciated. Thanks.

Looking at some new 8 ply tires and thought I might bump up to a 27". Curious if re-clocking is necessary for this small of an increase? I don't quite have the skills or tools (yet) to do the re-clocking. Any input is welcome. Thanks.

  BadAss doors!

I too went on EBay and ordered the tool users on the YouTube vids were suggesting. My issue came up when it arrived I noticed it had about a 30 degree bend in the tips. That's great for tight spots in corners but sucks for straight pulls. I asked the vendor about this because their pictures showed a straight looking pair. That went nowhere quick. So I did further research and found the ones on the right made by Lisle Tools. There more but work great.

Nice NMK. Yep. Your answer is what I was looking for. I carefully looked at everything before I started slapping things together and immediately found that the oem lugs mated to the spacers was going to be the only way to do this and make it work safely with these 1 1/2 spacers. I have a set of CMT 2" spacers I could've gone with but a few folks that work on vehicles confirmed what you have stated that the wider the more stress you transfer to the other components. Thanks for the rapid response. Much appreciated. Enjoy.

Our Motos are all lug-centric so you have to use the ones like this that use the lugs to center (tapered nuts & holes). On these the lug nuts you see will be used to bolt them to the hubs and your OEM chrome lugs will be used to bolt the wheels to the spacers.[/quote]

Will it matter if I use the open ended lug nuts that came with the spacers as my wheel lugs? Dry fitting one spacer to a stock ZForce 800 Trail rim it looks like the closed ended OEM lugs will bottom out before tightening down due to the stud lengths of these 1 1/2 spacers. Any comments would be appreciated. Both set's of lugs (oem and spacer lugs) appear to have the same exact taper. Diff is oem lugs are closed ended.

That vid about offsets is excellent. Wow. Thanks for posting it. Cleared that up big time.
