I also tipped mine over brother. Only had me, myself and I to help get it back up. Wow they are heavy. Took me a hour and alot of cussing and praying. 😂😂

Thanks for the comment Shawn. Nice to know I'm not alone in the tip over category

FYI, it may feel weird at first but if you blip the throttle it will engage the engine braking. I typically engage the brakes lightly, hit the throttle real quick, and then ease off the brakes. The engine braking is "decent" on these machines.

Thank you for the tip on braking. I've had several other riders recommed the same method and I appreciate it. I was also in 2 high which was a mistake. Should have been in 2 or 4 low. Anxious to get back out on the trail and practice this. Thanks again!

Thanks for the encouragement Tony! I was pretty bummed on the way home that day, but ready to get back out there this next weekend. 👍

I liked the video man. I am considering buying a 2024 cfmoto 1000 or maybe 800. Is there anything you don't like about the quad and thing you like?

Thanks for the comment! I would say just be aware of how the engine breaking works on these. They are big heavy machines and pick up steam fast going down hill. Also, the turning radius on them is pretty bad, but for most riders, it's not an issue. Other than that, for the money, they are an amazing value for what you get. There's also plenty of aftermarket parts for them. Keep in mind you have the newer Gen 3 machines coming out either later this year or early 2025. They are a complete redesign. What I plan on doing is keeping mine until the new Gen 3's have worked out the bugs and have some aftermarket support and trading my Gen 2 in at some point. Either way, you'll be happy 👍 You might also want to join some Facebook groups. There are some good one's for just the Overland 1000.

Nice views green

If you're anything under 20 miles an hour low is the best. I get it it seems like it winds out a lot but it's so much better for the belt.

If you're constantly riding under 20 miles an hour low gear is the best. I get it it seems like it winds out a lot but it's better for the belt and It will keep your clutch so much cooler. The 1000 is a lot of bike. Not long ago a 500 was the biggest and the baddest.

Appreciate the tip Jay, thanks! I'm definitely still getting used to the machine. Gonna take it easy the next few trips until I get some more experience. I've had quads before, but that was a long time ago. This old dog is trying to learn some new tricks 😉

Im not really interested in the 1000 but I am thinking about the 400 for some basic trail riding and work around the property. I would like to hear your opinion on the brand so far.

Hey Matt, before I got my Overland 1000, I did a lot of research on CFmoto. They have definitely come a long way in a few years and almost all reviews are positive on the machines regardless of size. What I would suggest is joining some CFmoto Facebook groups and you can ask questions there and get feedback from actual owners of the 400. I'm very happy with the quality and performance of my 1000 so far. 👍

I have a 2021 cforce 400. Bought it new in 2020. Here in Canada, they have the LX model, which has power steering signals, trailer wiring, aluminum rims and many other things. It has never broke down on me. I did have to replace the battery but that's it. It is a little under powered. I was really wishing I had got atleast the 500cc model.

@@CF-BRADY Thanks for helping out with the 400 question. I know sometimes I think maybe the 1000 is too big. Anytime you go with a twin cylinder engine, the seat area is much wider. When you get older like me and don't have as much flexibility, you really notice the width of the bigger machines.

@@CF-BRADY The 800 is the same size as the 1000. If you want to stay with a smaller skinnier machine, the 600 would be the way to go. One of my favorite channels I watch on KZread is a guy with a 625 (guess they name them differently in other countries?). Check him out if you get a chance. He's done some amazing trips and the smaller machine has never let him down. www.youtube.com/@atvoperator

Turning off tracking is the worst thing to do if ur not sure where u are. When u turn tracking on u are the arrow in OnX

@ontheroadwithgreg

Thanks for the help with that. I actually tested the tracking feature before that ride, but didn't think to use it since I had the GPX track. I thought I would show up on that track as I rode. Will definitely use it next time! 👍

That's a Kemimoto bag. I looked at a couple and really liked that one. It's also not so long that it hangs down and gets in the way of the brake pedal. Here's the link: amzn.to/45e1r4f

How do you compare it to your King Quad?

Hey Charles, to be honest, I never got the King Quad out in the dirt. I had sold my side by side, so wanted something we could 2 up on, so decided on the big Overland 1000. The King was smaller and lighter, but not really set up to ride with a passenger.
