General Discussion / 2019 Zforce 500 switch removal
January 06, 2025, 03:09:03 PM
Can anyone please tell me hoe to remove this so I can change my kill switch

For anyone who has been following, the issue is solved.  The probelm was a bad starter relay and bad wire connector on the battery.  I also changed the ignition switch but I'm not sure if it was defective.

Just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the dash in order to access the ignition switch.  I have removed the two screws at the bottom but don't see any other attachments.

thanks NMKawierider, I started taking this apart and will report back when I have checked it out. I really appreciate all you help.

@NMKawierider Would this cause the starter to keep turning after the key is off and would it also cause the fuel pump to not work when turning the key.  I was suspecting a faulty ignition switch.

General Discussion / 2019 Zforce 500 eps starting issue
December 28, 2024, 09:40:51 AM
I went out for a spin last week to a buddies camp and while I was there the temperature dropped to about -10 C.  I went to start and all I got was a clicking sound.  The fuel pump did not engage. I had to get a tow home through the snow.  When I got it home I checked the battery and it was showing 12.7 volts which would be enough to start. I also located and cleaned all the ground wires.  I left it on a trickle charge for a few days and warmed the machine up.  Now when I turn the key the dash lights up but no fuel pump but the starter turns occasional and when it does I can not shut it off, not even with the kill switch.  I need to disconnect the battery to stop the starter. Any ideas where to look next would be appreciated.

ZForce 500/550 / Clutch not retracting
April 26, 2021, 04:39:54 PM
Just changed the belt on my Zforce 500 (2019) and noticed that when I start the engine and it is at idle, the belt does not move.  If I give it a little gas the clutch engages and the belt moves but if I ease up on the gas and let the engine idle again.  The clutch does not go back to its original position and the belt continues to rotate.  Is this an issue with the clutch or is my engine idling too fast.

ZForce 500/550 / Zforce 500 trail right front axle
November 18, 2020, 06:10:35 AM
Got myself into a jam on the weekend and by using the front diff lock and over steering with the power steering I managed to shatter my front right outer CV Joint.  i checked with the dealer in Moncton NB since we no longer have a dealer in Fredericton and an axle replacement is $320 but they are backordered from the supplier.  I am looking for another source for an axle or just the CV joint, boot and clamps.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ZForce 500/550 / Primary Clutch
July 23, 2020, 05:55:10 AM
I have trying to remove my primary clutch in order to change my belt. There seems to be an 18mm bolt with a 32mm nut behind it. Neither of these will budge in either direction. I would like to know if one or both is a left handed thread and is there an easy method to removing the clutch.

Thanks RedZ1K
I do like the machine  and have put it through some challenging trails already.  Curious about your lift, what did you use and does it interfere with your suspensions, ie harder ride?

Just bought a new Zforce 500 trail about a month ago.  It is currently in the shop having a heat sensor replaced and trying to find out why my dim lights do not work.  I am a little disappointed to have these issues at 350km.  I am also worried that I did not noticed the fan was not coming on soon enough to prevent engine damage.  The heat gauge did not go up that much.  The only way I noticed was a pool of coolant  on my garage floor.
