Acceleration lag
« on: January 24, 2023, 10:08:32 AM »
This may be a dumb question but I have a new 600. I've noticed that the RPMs are quite high during operation and there is a lag between the accelerator and actual movement. I have a John Deere Gator that isn't like this. In the Gator, there is no lag between the accelerator and movement. With my CF Moto, you can give it gas and actually goose the petal but it slowly starts moving and doesn't respond to the accelerator as the engine is being goosed. Does this sound right?

It is unfortunate that CFM chose to raise RPMs to gain the higher HP numbers that most people are looking for. However, like you see, that requires engagement well above the 2000 RPM mark..even as much as 2500 in some cases. The idle also is much raised but aside from programing changes and throttle body adjustments, that is a little harder to alter then the clutch engagement characteristics. All it takes is either or both heavier flyweights and spring changes to completely "tame-the-beast". I personally can't tell you what weights and spring to go to but most have found 5-8 grams per weight increases were favorable. The thing to remember is you want at least 300 RPMs between idle and engagement so find out where yours is idling now...and its likely around 1400-1600+..which is already "ludicrous" for an idle (IMO), and add 300 to that for a target engagement. The springs will also make a great difference as well. One with a lower starting number offers less resistance therefore faster engagement and one with lower second number also offers lower resistance throughout the RPM range so lower shift-out RPMs. Tuning a clutch to your needs is important for your.. operational pleasure.. so I suggest letting the research begin.

You need an upgraded clutch kit. Look on the Facebook CFMOTO Uforce pages and people talk about them all the time on there. A kit will eliminate the jerkiness from a standstill and will give you better/quicker acceleration.

I was having that lag problem with our '22 and took it back to the dealership to get checked out. The service manager talked me into getting the clutch kit. Made a huge difference.
