CF Moto CF500

3 months in shop and cf moto won't answer back – I have a uforce 1000 been at shop 3 and half months. Fuel injector goes out and washes cylinder....they FINALLY approved a rebuild kit which was on back order....they rebuilt it and blew it up again in 10min and cf moto won't answer phones or emails when I try....they now want them to pull motor and recheck everything before sending more parts, to point of hiring attorney over crappy services on both dealer and manufacturers end

NEver again – I bought a CF atv 500 ,2023 in april , I had problem with shifting from reverse to drive after 15 min of driving it. At first no problem changing gear but after removing snow it would be stuck in reverse. Need to shut down the motor then change gear. Went to dealer but no satisfaction could not find the problem. So this ATV is not made to put a snow blade and remove snow. Last time I will buy CF Show details

CF moto is not what you may think – I purchased my 2021 cf moto 600 touring about 1.5 years ago. 1st off riding this machine is like riding your couch ! It is a very comfortable ride,even at the dunes where it can be Incredibly choppy ground! ( that's where I mostly ride) the power is decent, I also have a (one of the top 4 brands) 700 that is a rocket, it's obviously not even a… Read more

comparison, but the cf weighs 3 times as much and is an automatic, (Canadian built transmission btw). I was at my local dues this weekend and, 1st off I swear this is true! I pulled an f-350 with a 15 foot trailer attached to it 20 feet backwards that was stuck in the sand. The guy in the truck and self were blown away, I didn't think for 1 second is was actually going to pull that much weight especially in the sand. The one thing I will say bad about the cf moto is the winch that comes on it. It's very slow pulling and the cable bird caged the 1st time I used it, so I replaced it with an 8,000lb rope (that's what I pulled the guy out with) everyone that rides the CF is very impressed with it. My buddy just bought the CF 800 and it's a beast better suspension, a bit more HP, but also alot more money almost double what I payed for my 600 at the same dealership, all and all I love the brand, and honestly KTM would have never created a joint venture with CF moto if they were a garbage brand. That's what sold me on them. It's a beautiful machine very well made and face it for the money, what you get with there machines you'll pay 3 times as much for a longer established brand.

Great product, Not to happy with the dealership where purchased – I did ablot of research before i purchased the 2016 CF 500. 6 months after purchase the temp ngauge was climbing and the fan wasnt kicking in, Temp relay was bad and factory defect covered under waranty, No biggie, 5 minute flip and fix. that was at 1,500 miles. around 2,300 miles i heard a grinding coming from the rearend, I checked the… Read more

differential fluid, Basically assembly lube, The dealer dropped the bal on setup and never filled it, I took it in because it was metal shaving city, I asked them to check the front differential also, When i picked it up they had it checked off on the work order the rearend was replaced and both front and rear fluids were checked, When i got home i checked, The rear was topped off and the front was again enough to cover the palm of my hand, I filled it and went riding, No issues for abround 9 Months, "WHAM" the rear end locked up and came to an abrumpt hault, ??? When they replaced the rearend i should of checked those also, They biddnt tighten the back mount bolt, It rattled around until it broke out of the mount bracket and allowed the rear end to flip forward, Wasted the $200 drive belt, I replaced that, Loosened the rear end bolts and put it back in place and tightened everything up, Started it up and it ran great, Put it in gear and it died like the clutches were engaged, Checked 3Xs and couldnt find anything wrong, Took it to the dealer i bought it from and a month later they call and tell me the Drive clutch needs to be replaced, $600, Also the drive clutch is shot, $400 and it needs a new belt for $200 and the transmission will probably have to be replaced, They dont know until they go in to it further, I told them im on my way to pick it up, I took it to another shop and a month later i called them and they asked what the problem was? I told them the engine died when it was put in gear like the clutches were engaged, They said, Really?, Because were not having any problems with it at all, I picked it up and pd the shop rate of $58 and drove it plowing snow all winter w/o any issues, There is now 7,648 miles on it, I switched it from 4X4 to 2 wheel drive and about 15 minutes later went to switch it back to 4X4 and nothing, Im pretty sure its the shift engagement modulator at the differential as im not hearing any noise from it when pushing the button, I will check it in the morning, We live by a very long trail system that goes a few hundred miles from Minnesota in to Wisconsin and soon will be connected to North Dakotas trail system, This is why we have so many miles on it, We dont beat the snot out of it and ride it like a street bike, We also picked up a combi motorcycle camper we tow behind it and now can go camping and fishing doing weekend nights on the fly, Love the machine, But the dealers need a tune up.

2018 CFmoto 500s EPS – One week ago I purchased the 500s. I have been working on the break in phases, as the manual instructs. Thus far I am pleased with this machine. I take very good care of my machines, and maintain them, so time is going to be the test. Shifting could be smoother, but not that big of an issue for me. The winch is great, and works well. In fact, I… Read more

like it all in all. I'll post more as time goes by!

September 16th 2018 Update: Follow up review on 500s.

On my second review of the 500s, I now have 100 miles on it and have ridden it thoroughly. Shifting is easier after I spayed the linkage with chain and cable lube. Breaks started squeaking, but I have ridden it in the lake and done some mild mudding in it. Squeaky breaks are common after riding in water, however wd40 fixes squeaky breaks. Have not exceeded throttle past 3/4 yet but have seen 42 on speedometer. Climbs in all terrain well. Do not like the plastic under carriage armor, and will check to see what Honda and Yamaha use. As of now I really like this machine.

January 5th 2019 Update: Follow up review on 500s.

I bought the 2018 CFMoto 500s EPS, and now, a few months later and close to 500 miles I must say I'm pleased with it. I ride it hard, and often, but I also maintain it. Not 500 miles yet, but I've fully lubed the chassy (via a full chassy break down), and ALL fluids have been changed. It's been dependable, and I go places where only bigger machines go. Been a great 4 wheeler. Regular maintenance is criticle if you ride like I do. Time is the only real test, but so far CF MOTO has impressed me. I took a chance and I do not regret it now! Bring it on!

Looking for advice Cf moto 550, transmission noise – Have owned this just over two years and been happy with it. Today has developed a loud rattle in the transmission and wants to creep forward at idle revs. Suspect primary clutch may be the issue. Local dealer has a wait list for repair of some three weeks. Really need it repaired sooner.

Perfect Farm Bike early review – Great 4 Wheeler for the farm . Good low range for following but in high really gets up and goes . Good turning circle . Stays planted and good feedback through bars despite the power steering . Carry racks good size . Can’t fault it at the moment . Show details

My CF Moto is now an indispensable piece of equipment. Couldn’t be happier with it – Used for orchard establishment with narrow working rows - easy to get around , pleasure to work with. Show details

CFMOTO Junk – I have a 2017 CFMOTO ZForce 800 EX that had the motor rebuilt at 400 miles under warranty. After 200 additional miles the machine is locked up. Dealer and CFMoto tell me I am out of luck and out of 12k on this piece of junk. I would avoid CFMoto at all costs.

Cf Moto 500 2020 – Bought it and had it a week before it started acting like it wanted to shut off, couple weeks later boot came off just from riding, exhaust cover came off from running to hot. Don’t ride to hard so I took it up there and got it replaced. Took 3 weeks to get it back. A week later belt blew off took it to shop, they said mud and water was the cause… Read more

meanwhile I live on a dirt road do not go mudding but it’s a ATV suppose to be able to drive through dirt I thought..... cfmoto refused to cover it under warranty said there’s no way that mud should get in there??? But it’s open underneath. Have to pay 230 to get it fixed. In my opinion it’s cheaply made and a lemon! It’s not even worth the cost. Wish I had never purchased! Still in shop 3 more weeks.

Don't buy – Brought it in 15 new had a recall was not informed till it broke down. Not equipped for thick mud or water. Really a waste. No cooperation from corporate about the malfunction with bike. Show details

Great price Even better machine – We purchased a 2020 C Force 600 two up and have close to 4000 miles on it. Never had a problem, plenty of power with two people on it. Handles perfectly with the power steering. CAn't say enough how impressed with this machine I am. Show details

Best atv I have owned or ridden – Best atv I have owned or ridden. Use to own a very popular brand from Minnesota and this is 10 times the atv it was. I would buy another cfmoto tomorrow if I needed one. Only issue I have found is that from factory they did not have shift linkage adjustment set correctly which made it difficult to shift into low gear. Once readjusted no more issues. I would rate it 5 out of 5. Show details

Good value for the price – 2021 520eps done 100km so far seems good,power steering is light and responsive,gearshift ok as long as you dont switch off in gear leave it in park or neutral and push hard on footbrake to put in gear.Has plenty of power for trails and farm work just make sure to use low range when going slowly like when picking your way through thick bush,only problem is the wife wants her own one now. Show details

Best bang for the buck – All is great thus far love everything about it and would recommend to anyone, sorry for the ones who have had problems , I recon that’s possible with anything any more. Mine has been through to break-in period and all is well. Show details ·  1

Great Machine – Its is very maneuverable, rides smooth, lots of power, fuel efficient, and goes through the most rugged terrain. I have a lot of faith in my product . I would recommend it to anyone. Show details

Can't beat the value! – I live in Ontario, Canada, and I recently purchased a pre-owned 2014 CF Moto Trail Tracker 500. After much research I chose this machine partly because it is a factory 2 passenger (legal 2 passenger in Ontario) and partly because of the extraordinary value for the money. I have put on about 500kms in the short time I've owned it and I've had no… Read more

issues at all. Very solid machine with a responsive throttle and a smooth CVT transmission. The one negative is that this model does not have power steering which would be nice to have in our rough terrain. I'll definitely buy another one.

Highly recommend on my farm – Never missed a beat. Had mine around 5 years now. Great ATV. Probably the best I've had. I always had Yamahas and Hondas before but these are much better value and parts not as expensive. Loved it and now part ex for 500 EPS soon! Show details

Hard Shifting – From day one I have had issues shifting when the ATV is on an incline or decline. Almost impossible to break it loose to get it to shift. have to rock it and just try and jam it in or out of gear. Sooner or later it will shift. Called CF Moto and they had a corporate rep discuss the issue with my new different dealer. The dealer had the ATV for… Read more

days and they said there was nothing wrong. Was going to sell the ATV due to the issue. Could not let the wife or kids go off on their own because they would not be able to shift it when it jams up. After years of not using the bike and just frustration I understand from another local dealer that there is a fix to the shifting issue. Something about just removing a shift pin. You would think that CF Moto company would have notified all buyers of the 500 HO EPS that there is a fix but no word at all from them. That's my story. Not happy since now there was an overheating issue and the ATV melted the wiring.

Love it – I purchased a 2018 cfmoto 500 .. I'm extremely impressed I beat the living daylight out off it.. mud/water... over the cargo racks an the thing keeps going .... truly amazed on what it can do.. I will definitely be buying another Show details

Regret regret regret Buying – I bought a 2016 2 passage 500 ATV and a 2017 single 500 ATV for my husband. My 2 up has been one issue after another. Very difficult to shift, runs VERY HOT. I've had the clutch replaced twice due to water in it. I'm an old lady with a bad back and we don't beat our machines. The dealer told me I need to stay out of the water due to the… Read more

design. REALLY!!! this is a ATV for God Sake and you tell me to stay out of the water. The machine gets so hot that there are times I have to stand when riding it and we have to stop so it can cool down. the EFI had started to come on now, and this spring I can get it to stay running.

This is the biggest piece of junk!!!

Great QUAD with heaps of quality – I have carefully researched all the Quads in my price range and after carefully review the CF MOTO x500 shone out. The product is really solid and the QA has gone through the roof in the last few years with many farmers and market gardeners getting great service from them. Also they had the 4WD and Power Steer to make a real difference on our steep rocky land. Show details ·  2

Absolute headache Cfmoto fourwheeler – Hey man I'm having almost same issue the CF MOTO dealer isn't worth a crap ! The day I bought it the guy said he was going to drive it up on my 2016 Chevy Silverado and ran into my back glass and then said it wasn't his issue THEN my four wheeler started having issues and so I called them to get it in to see what's wrong THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK… Read more

I kept calling 3 times a week then they just quit answering my calls and once my 1 year warranty went out I finally got a call back that said that I'm no longer covered that there isnt ANYTHING they could do. TRUST ME if it wasn't for them to be the ONLY dealer in a 100 mile radius I'd go somewhere else believe me I'm getting a lawyer and expressing to everyone that cfmoto isnt worth the headache. Sad thing is I kept giving them chances over and over and im still the 1 with 7500 out of my pocket

Awesome ATV – Have been wanting ATV for awhile have done my research.everybody needs to look at cfmoto more closely.my option I believe there just as good as brands we all know of .i have 2018 ho eps holds too people comfortable was riding stiff at first the more I ride the better it feels I put mirrors on mine did not come with any . Great tires wheels are… Read more

Awesome people to deal with even delivered it free of charge love my CFmoto atv 500 ho eps .the lights on this thing is AWESOME.MEJ NC

Mistake – Totally unreliable. I've owned many snowmobiles, atv's, motorcycles, and my 2016 CFMOTO 500HO (still under 2000km) is the most unreliable recreational vehicle I've owned. Brakes twice, circuit board, clutch - repair times from one week to a month each occasion - and no options. Nobody wants to work on them. I've had my friends up to my cottage 3… Read more

times this summer to go atv'ing and I'm the only one without an ATV - mine's in the shop - AGAIN/STILL.

Excellent! 2017 CF MOTO 500 4X4 – Excellent handling running machine. Well built. Able to lots of things with this ATV. The leds on this one are very cool. The tow hitch and wench are very handy for hunting and stuff around the farm.

It will climb a wall – Our plows out climbs the 500 polaris .shifting is a little stiff..owned for 2 yrs now in the mountains in colorado has never failed me its a beast .20" of snow wet no problem.comfortable to ride .winch works flawless .lots of power logs stumps and rocks .dragged off the mountain ..mine is a work horse  Show details

Horrible. Broken more than enjoyed – I have a 2016 cf moto 550HO. The ATV is in the shop more than riding it. Gear shift sticks. Had to replace gear shift. Now electrical problems. When at the shop it's over 30 day for service.. I'm selling it. Not worth the frustration and money paid. Done  Show details

shifter is very hard to shift – The shifter is terrible . From the very first day I bought it ive had trouble with shifting from park,neutral,reverse ,and high & low.I brought it in and they say they shift like that but we can adjust it. It didn't change a thing. Other than that it's a good machine I plowed snow for 2 seasons now with it and did a great job. Something just needs to be done with shifter for me to be happy with it.  Show details

CF Moto 500S - do your homework – Currently own both Yamaha & Honda 4 wheelers, so first impression of the CF Moto 500 was exactly the combination that I thought would be perfect - WRONG !! Being a commercial pilot we are told to never fly the 'A' model of anything, and this is definitely their intro model - no handbrakes which is a real inconvenience, power steering should be… Read more

modulated because it works good at idle but is dangerously too sensitive at higher speeds - not a rig for inexperienced riders. The shifter is pencil thin and feels like you will break it when changing gears - that is if you can change gears !! Biggest complaint is that if you are at ANY incline it is impossible to change the selector, you have to rock the machine and makes HORRIBLE noises once it shifts - could not be operated by wife's or young adults. Can definitely see being stranded with this machine. As long as I am complaining about the transmission this brings up another point am having trouble understanding, has a Park, but says in the manual that damage to transmission will occur if you transport in this position - give me a break !! Is going from bad to worse and am afraid we are going down in flames.

Great Machine – I bought this 2012 CF Moto 500. I love it!!! I Put a lot of miles on it upstate NY. It always did its job. It pulled out a lot of deer , Up and down steep mountians through water ice snow etc I talked to other guys from my club to buy one. They love their CFMoto 500 too.I will purchase another one!!!! For the money you can't beat t!  Show details

Perfect for the farm. Headlights perfect in dark very good towing capacity – Very easy and yes all safety features available on the ATV. Show details
