Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of replacing the CVT belt on your CFMOTO UFORCE. A worn or damaged CVT belt can affect the performance of your vehicle, so performing this maintenance task can save you time and money. This guide will provide clear, actionable steps and helpful tips to ensure a successful belt replacement.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Materials

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools and materials ready:

• Replacement CVT belt (available at Main Street Cycle)
• Basic hand tools (screwdrivers, wrenches)
• Torque wrench
• Safety gloves
• Work boots (consider upgrading to Brunt Work Boots for comfort)

Practical Tips:

• Ensure your workspace is clean and well-lit.
• Always wear safety gear to protect yourself during the process.

Step 2: Access the CVT Cover

To replace the CVT belt, you need access to the CVT cover:

1. Locate the CVT cover on your CFMOTO UFORCE.
2. Remove any screws or bolts securing the cover using the appropriate tools.
3. Carefully lift off the CVT cover to expose the belt and pulleys.

Common Pitfalls:

• Be cautious not to damage any clips or connectors while removing the cover.

Step 3: Remove the Old CVT Belt

Now that you have access to the CVT assembly, follow these steps to remove the old belt:

1. Inspect the outer primer sheave. If your model allows, you may not need to remove it, but doing so often makes the process easier.
2. If needed, take off the outer primer sheave by loosening the bolts and lifting it away.
3. Slide the old CVT belt off the pulleys. You might need to rotate the driven pulley to relieve tension on the belt.

Practical Tips:

• Pay attention to how the belt is positioned; this will help with installing the new one.

Step 4: Install the New CVT Belt

Once the old belt is removed, it's time to install the new one:

1. Position the new CVT belt around the driven pulley first.
2. Carefully stretch the belt around the drive pulley, ensuring it sits properly in the grooves.
3. If you removed the outer primer sheave, reattach it by aligning it with the belt and securing it with bolts.

Important Note:

• Double-check that the belt is seated correctly and that there is no excessive slack.

Step 5: Reassemble and Test

After installing the new belt, reassemble everything:

1. Replace the CVT cover and secure it with screws or bolts.
2. Ensure all tools are removed from the area.
3. Start your CFMOTO UFORCE and check for any unusual noises or issues.

Final Checks:

• Listen for smooth operation and ensure the belt is functioning correctly under load.

Conclusion

Replacing the CVT belt on your CFMOTO UFORCE is a straightforward task that can enhance your vehicle's performance. By following these steps, you can effectively change your belt and ensure your machine runs smoothly. For future maintenance, consider checking the CVT belt regularly and replacing it as needed. Happy riding!
