I bought my 1000 overland last June and so far I'm in love with it, zero issues. The promo box you mentioned is dead and gone, that was only in like 2020 and for around 300 machines. I did 2 oil changes during break in, one at 50 miles, and at 100 miles. So far it's been going absolutely great. I did upgrade the air filter to the 2 stage foam Uni filter with outerwear sock. Facebook has more active cfmoto groups, this site is pretty dead.

Is the air filter situation the same as I've read about their zforce models? I see Unifilter has a specific cfmoto tab but there's only the one filter. Did they keep it one size across various models for continuities sake? Also if you have any tips on how to reach the airbox I'd be all ears. I'm guessing it's up the center hump but I don't know how to seperate the plastics to get in there.

All my stars lined up this week. I happened to have my old Cat wheeler in town from my cabin along with the trailer, I finished up payments on a loan, I found a new OVerland 1000 near enough to me, and the wife didn't talk me out of it! So yesterday I signed the papers and took home a brand new Overland 1000 in camo. I even managed to sell my cat for exactly what I was asking for last night. I'm super pumped to get on this bad boy and take a spin. I'm also eager to learn how to maintain it and keep it running good, as I'm not the type to bring it in unless it's a problem way out of my depth.

Hey so I'm in my research mode right now before committing on a new 2019 cforce 800 xc. I generally do as much of my own maintenance as possible and want to know about oil reccomendations. From what I understand this engine has been redesigned from previous years in that it no longer has a wet clutch. Is that true? If so can you use any regular oil, or if I stick with my synthetic Amsoil wet clutch certified ATV oil will that hurt it in any way? Also with the differentials do you need to use hypoid gear approved gear lube? I use Amsoil gear lube currently that is hypoid approved and was told if I didn't use hypoid approved lube I would wear down the gears. Also are the filters the internal kind and not screw on?

Hello everyone I'm new here and looking for advice. I'm currently in the market to trade in my current ATV for a new one and am thinking hard on the XC 800. I have a Cat TRV right now for the wife and I to ride so I'm looking at the very limited selection of 2 up models around. Was looking at Can Am when I saw this from across the dealer. The list of components looks impressive, especially when combined with the $8500 price tag. My only question is is it good to be true? I have had very limited knowledge of Cfmoto up until now, only lumping them in with all other Chinese manufacturers. Through my recent research it seems that they're trying to seperate themselves from the pack and prove they've got it where it counts. Can anyone tell me whether they have this machine, or something similar and how it's treated you?

Two things, first off do you actually own the 2019 xc, and if so could you tell me if you like it because I'm considering buying one myself. Secondly, I also saw the cfmoto points but couldn't find any accessories for them so I'm thinking if I end up with it I'll move my Kimpex adventure XL trunk on to it. That trunk is designed for 2up machines like the Arctic Cat TRV, and Can Am Outlander Max. It fits around the passenger seat. Not cheap at somewhere from $300-350 but worth every penny.
