Thanks bud, dang. That's a lot and assumes great electrical knowledge. Out of pay grade unfortunately. If I knew what exactly to look for that would help. Contacted the service but hate having to take my machine there, 45 min trucking the thing one way and possibly need to leave there.

General Discussion / New cforce 400. Voltage jumps over 16 volts sometimes
June 07, 2023, 05:01:18 PM
Usually normal 14-15 volt charging is shown on the dashboard but recently it started switching from my odo or trip display to voltage by itself (without me asking for it) as if trying to get my attention. So i recorded a video and noticed when it jumps to voltage, it momentarily shows over 16 volts. 16 or 16.1v.
Is this a complex repair or something simple? Bike is 8 months old.

CForce 400/450 / Dashboard goes to voltage no matter what
June 06, 2023, 02:19:58 AM
Hey guys, had another stresful trip for a while, even though my machine is not even 1 yr old.
For the first 30 minutes, when I started it up and switched to trip display or anything else, the thing constantly went to voltage after a few seconds.
I tried and tried to keep it at ODO or trip or whatever and it would go to V after a short time no matter what.
It freaked me out, i was afraid it was pointing my attention to some charging issue. Anyone know? It stopped doing this after 2 hrs of riding. Was back to good and stayed at whatever it was.
Manual does not mention anything. Is this a dashboard having a new glitch or it tries to tell me something?

CForce 400/450 / Re: 2022 Cforce 400L 2 up Rad relocation kit

Did you ever get an answer? I am also looking for this kit, and I only found one specifically designed for cforce 400 and 500, but it's $360 USD so I'm afraid it's about 500 Canadian, which seems very expensive.

Just confirming... solenoid assembly with fuse box was toast (under the seat straight after the battery). burnt to melted plastic. Replaced it under warranty and bike runs like new.

Yeah, thanks guys, of course i will but it's a pain in the ass. 45 min drive one way, half a day wasted. They might be able to do it on the spot. It's dead now. Dealer told me (to save me the drive) to look under the seat for the main relay and 30amp fuse. Sure enough, I was able to locate the relay and fuse... but was unable to remove the fuse. i think some plastic melted due to a bad connection and it literally melted the plastic and fuse is stuck. I smelled burt rubber when it ran indeed...... and that is why it was flickering and was dying randomly.. until it died for good. Fuse is most likely blown now so I am taking it there, the whole relay has to be replaced with the fuse too, but just to check with you all.. multiple times the bike died has no effect on the engine or charging parts etc does it? I presume it's safe for these engines to just lose power right? Sorta what the kill switch does anyway right?

I should add that when it gets power it starts and runs. But it keeps losing electricity randomly. Most recently for 30 minutes and when it regained power... It lost it again moment I pressed the gas. All instruments dead. Battery starts fine, could it be it? It would not make any sense as it's all new.

HELP! Brought a brand new cforce 400 home. Started the engine and it ran for 1 minute, i try to drive it dies. Light on dash flash and it comes back to life and i can restart the engine. Same thing a few times.
After few more of these. Electrical power is all lost. Comes back by itself 30 seconds later and i can restart. Dies again, no power. Total ghost problem.
Where to look? Battery connections are OK. Now it has been dead for 20 minutes and not coming back to life by itself. Well it did for 5 seconds, dash lit up and dead again.
