Keep dirt and mud away from your shifter mechanism! This Premium Gear Shift Rubber Boot is designed to shield the internal shift linkage and gate on your CFMOTO ATV. Engineered to fit CFMOTO CFORCE 500 and Atlas 500 models perfectly, it restores complete barrier protection against environmental elements.
Trail riding subjects your machine to heavy dust, mud crossings, and water spray. A cracked or missing shifter boot allows grit to enter the gear selector linkage, leading to stiff shifting, binding levers, and premature mechanical wear. Molded from heavy-duty, weather- and oil-resistant elastomer, this replacement gaiter preserves smooth, precise gear selection.
Technical Specifications & Details
Component: Gear Shift Lever Dust Boot / Shifter Rubber Gaiter.
Material: Heavy-duty, flexible, oil- and UV-resistant rubber compound.
Function: Seals out dirt, mud, sand, and water from entering the shift linkage.
Fitment: Perfect OEM-style fit for CFMOTO CFORCE 500 (CF500-2, CF500-2A, SWB, LWB) and Atlas 500 models (Model Years 2007–2009).
Visual Check: Prior to installation, perform a visual check. Match the mounting lip dimensions, overall boot height, and lever hole opening precisely against your original part.
Knob Removal & Clean Prep: Unscrew or remove the shift knob carefully to slide the old boot off. Thoroughly clean away accumulated mud and old grease from the exposed linkage pivot points. Apply fresh waterproof chassis grease to moving parts before slipping the new boot on.
Gentle Installation: Carefully push the boot lip into the body panel recess. Do not use sharp tools that could puncture the fresh rubber. Cycle through all gear positions (P, R, N, H, L) to ensure full travel without binding.
