Where abouts in the Nor Cal foothills are you?Just curios cause i lived in Sacramento 8 years ago and rode all over the place.I'm in Weiser Idaho now and what a Beautiful State with lots of riding.

NMK.I agree with you that a oil pressure gauge would be more important than a water temp gauge.I think installing one or the other for now should not be to hard if i can find a easy route for the wires.In the mean time i'll keep looking for the gauges i.m wanting.
I have not ridden the brute force for awhile untill yesterday.I almost forgot how powerfull it is,had a blast.Thank you for the responce.I would think that someone on this board might have done the gauge thing.Guess not,Thank you nmk

I have a 2018 cfmoto z force 800.It's hard at times to see
the water temp gauge when the sun is blasting me in the eyes.So i thought
i would hook up a real temp gauge and go with that.
Plus it would be nice to know how hot it's running.
I have looked at ebay and a few other places and i'm not sure which
one to get.
Has anyone switched gauges with a real one and did it do what you
were wanting.Plus i don't need nothing that is going to be a pia to
install.I just think knowing how hot the motor is running would
be a plus.The factory gauge has never gone past 3 bars.
Thier are so many choices out there it's kinda rough to get some
thing good.

Nice pictures,I like them all but the one with the formations HOLES in the rock are great.Gotta be some history there.

Looks like a cool way to get to the ice plus it looks just a tad bit cold.
What were you fishing for,and did you catch anything???

Take some time with your machine and tighten any and every nut,bolt you can find.I'm sure that might help some of the strange noises.

NMK.Thank you very much.I will take a look and see what i can find.

I know that this question has been asked and answered a bunch of times.
I looked and can't find it,so here goes.
I need to buy another uni filter for my 2018 z force trail 800 and need the part # please.
I bought one last summer that is suppose to fit but the rubber on the filter wont fit the plastic piece like it's suppose to,It seems small.
Thank you

NMK...Thank you very much,It turned out to be that the battery has seen better days.So it's time to go on a battery hunt.
I have done a little online looking and WOW how battery prices gone up.But so has everything else.
I know that i'm not the only one to replace the battery.What have others used ,part#
please.The current bad battery is a Yuasa but no part #s.buggy is a 2018 zforce 800 trail and a big thank you

I took the 2018 zforce 800 to the drive in at the bank.I turned it off to hear the teller
but didn't turn the power off.
I went to start it about 3 minutes later and it wouldn't turn over ....I'm thinking battery.
I had my Daughter and Son n Law come and jump me.
When they jumped me the buggy would start,once the jumper cables were disconnected it would die.
We tried this a few times and same thing.
My son n law seems to think it's the alternator that's gone bad.I think the battery has seen better day's.The brand of battery it it now is YUSA.

Sounds like you had a nice ride.Like always nice pictures.

My bad.I meant the 2nd picture.

Nice ride and beautiful pictures.The 3rd picture from the top,What is it.
Those are the kinda rides to remember and realey take in the scenery.

Ive got close to 3;500 on it and figure ill be hatein life if things start going wrong a few hundred miles after i get it all back together.
I have looked online at bearings and i see what you mean about the cost.
All i got to do now is check out the u joints and the carrier bearing.
NMK Thank you

Sounds like you had fun and seen alot of great scenery.
That is the type rideing i enjoy the most.I guess some people don't know the pack it in pack it out and feel that the world is thier private trash can.
