nmk.I'm figuring you know which light i'm talking about.It comes on when i turn on the power.Then after i start the machine it blinks 7 times then goes off. Iv'e still taken it out about 15 miles and havent had any problems.

Looked at all your pictures and great job you did.
I was going to hook up blinkers on my z force trail 800 but i decided not to.
I'm in Weiser,Idaho and it's legal to ride or drive on the streets.
I use my hand signals and have been.So far so good.

On my 2018 z force trail 800 the oil pressure light blinks about 7 times after i start it then stops blinking.
I have not noticed this happening before but i don't always pay attention like i should.Is this suppose to be happening?
It's in  the owners manual it's page 93,#12. Thanks.

I like it all.Looks great.Where did you get the fender flares?
Plus how much were they?

nmk.
Thank you.I'm going to dig thru the internet to see if a longer zerk is made so i can use it on the rear wheel area.If not then i guess i will be removing tires to grease them.I'm going to get a coupler that locks.

General Discussion / zerks or grease fittings ?
May 26, 2023, 06:09:50 PM
I got around to doing a few things to the 2018 z force 800 trail.Cleaned the air filter and now it's time to grease the zerks.I did notice that i need to replace about 3 of them and change a couple.
I can get them at Ace hardware which is close.After all Weiser,Idaho isn't all that big.
What size do i get or will i need?
The one that's on the rear a arms seems to be longer than the rest ,but they are behind the the back wheels.I can see that they might be a problem getting to.I want to find longer ones if that is possible and change them.I've seen those 90 degree couplers and was wondering if that might work .Any ideas would help.
Iv'e got a slight disability and try to make things easier for me.
One of the things iv'e done is put the loading ramps on the tail gate and pull the machine up to the height that i need.
Thanks all of you.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / skid plate?
May 17, 2023, 11:02:59 AM
Does my zforce 800 trail have a skid plate from the factory?
I know......Lame question but i haven't been up under it yet.My Son n Law does the wrenching on it.
If it doesent come with one any recomendations ?
I'm not into the rock crawling any more so i won't need anything super heavy duty.

I have a 2018 z 800 that has a rocker switch on the dash that every so often gets bumped and some how cut's power to the machine.
But once i flip the switch it starts.Have you tried checking that?
I guess it's a safety switch or something like that.

I have been looking at cordless grease guns.How many of you use them when you grease your buggy or anything else?
What do you think about it and which one do you have?

I see that there is no way of trying not to buy rims with what i want to do.
Plus i don't need the possible 4 wheel drive problem.
So that i don't have any problems what size rims and tires should i get?
I still want to go with 27s.
Thank you for all the time you've spent on this subject.

I've been a pest about this wanting to go square thing.Every thing you write i read real good some times 2-4 times to try to understand it.A lot of it do and a lot i don't.
Im not a dumb sh.t but i guess i'm not understanding this wheel,tire stuff real well,thats why i'm on here asking questions plus i don't want to hurt my machine.
Can i keep the stock rims and go 27 x 10 x 14s on all fours?
I know your probly sick of me.

I figure that if i keep the stock rims then i don't have to worry about the off set .A lot  easier for me and i'll save some coin.I'm finding that the rims i like are far and few as fitting the machine and the cost way more than i'm willing to spend.
