CForce 600 , X6 / Re: Clock Not Keeping Proper Time

Most accurate clock people have now a days is their cell phone!

In the fall of 1966 at the USCG Loran C station in Sattahip Thailand that I helped build, we installed rubidium oscillators in the Loran timers and the rumor spread across the war zone that the Coast Guard in Sattahip had atomic time! And the phone started ringing at o dark thirty each morning for time checks.

In reality we had a windup black military clock set to GMT on the radio room wall and listen to WWV(Fort Collins, Co) or WWVH(Hawaii) a few times a week to assure it was correct.

So we timed many battles of the Vietnam war!!!  8) ;) ;D

If you ride around at 5-8 mph the fan should come on in ten minutes or so.

Did one ride at Reiter Hills in Gold Bar. Need to find someone that wants to go to Walker Valley.

Well I think I have over killed the ability to carry extra fuel. I can now stack two one gallon Rotopax fuel can. I will most likely take one or both to Arizona this coming winter.

Got my 1 gal Rotopax mounted.

Yesterday I took the Cforce 600 touring on it's first real ride to Reiter Hills ORV park in Gold Bar, Wa. Area in the center of the map was tight ATV 50" or less trails.

It is on the bottom side of the front seat. You remove the rear seat then the front seat, turn it over to get the took kit.

Installed some foam grips over the OEM hand grips. I have these on my Can-Am Spyder 3 wheel motorcycle also. They cut down vibration into your hands and I have large hands, so a fatter grip is good.

Got my flag mount that I made installed. I found that the back metal bar under the plastic rear storage had two nuts welded to the back side and two of the bottom. My mount is attached using all four points. I am going to stack two 1 gallon Rotopax gas cans on the area between the boxes, seat and flag.

Hi. I have a 2022 600. In the fuse box there is a relay labeled reverse lights. But none light up when put in reverse. Is there a wire at the back I could use to hook up my own back up lights.  Thanks

So your Canadian model has turn signals, correct? The back up lights we have in the US are in the same spot as your turn signal lights. My guess is that the backup light circuit is at the rear. Probably is the black plug above the white on that I used for turn signals.

I am use to high RPMs as my Kawasaki KRX 1000 is also clutched that way. Never shall they meet, the KRX is in Arizona and the 600 touring is in Washington.

Have been busy on it making it street legal, installing wired winch remote, cell phone mount, and storage boxes. All documented in the general forum.

So today I installed the wired winch remote, and yes the in/out colors were revised to the Cforce. I installed the phone holder for my smart phone with Gaia GPS nav app. I installed two storage boxes. Do not think much of the latches on these cheap boxes, so put a bungee cord over them. They are bolted down to fender washers below the Cforce quick release receptacles holes.

After reading reviews on cheap wireless remotes, I decided to go with a wired remote. Will install the plug near the cig and usb ports.

OK, finished the lighting project except of the license plate lights that arrive tomorrow. Lights are built into the license plate bolts.

I was able to put pins in the dummy plug for turn signal lights above the left rear wheel and use Kawasaki wiring to the rear. I installed the pop in RED LEDs. Note: I never cut an OEM wire to do this project.

To review: I now have turn indicators with OEM amber lights on the front and pop in red in the rear. 4 way flashers and a horn.
