  1. The service schedule is in the owners manual, just like your personal car or truck, the manufacture knows best when to service your UTV. It is always recommended to follow the manual for service. That being said, I would normally check the UTV after the first few rides, as things come loose and need adjustment. Normally it is best to service it right before the riding season, and after the riding season is over. I would change the oil every six months or so. and check the bolts for tightness after a few weekends of riding. Otherwise that is pretty much it. I would recommend changing the cvt belt every 200 hours or so, as it can break and would make for a bad weekend if it did while out and about away from home. If you have any questions, please feel free to check back. Matt

  2. If you are just hauling light weight / bulky material.....this is something I did to make the bed larger. Just added a large 59.00 tub to the bed. John

  3. Hey all...came up with a trailer hitch design for the Sector 250. Very strong and easy to install. I know there are weigh limitations for this unit and good judgement must be used. I wanted this feature for using on the farm for pulling things like a small 4-wheel wagon, sprayer tank, down tree branches, etc...and it works great for pulling the grandson on a sled in the snow...it's a blast. My attachments include a tongue / hook combination. A a long, swivel, eye- bolt for pulling wagon ( the swivel is to keep the UTV from tipping in case the wagon does)... My property is pretty level but I like playing it safe.

  4. Hey there, good to see folks doing some research on things prior to making a purchase. As to the topic of ground clearance, I think you might be a little surprised to find that the sector and the strike use the same wheels, shocks and suspension, so for them to say the sector has 8" of ground clearance I would say is a little 'white lie'. They use a different chassis, but share the same part numbers on many other items, like suspension front and rear. As for the power, with the throttle stop removed, it will do upwards of 48 to 50 mph with me weighing in at 200 lbs in it. as for going uphill, depends on the angle of the hill, and the condition of the trail. They are great for fire roads, but from a standing stop up a rough steep hill, you might be a little disappointed. It just doesn't have the torque required to do that kind of work. They are great for play and easy roads and trails not so much for serious off-roading. Me and my wife have both been in the strike 250, but the seats are bucket seats and are form fitting style, the bench seat in the sector might be more comfortable for two adults with room to spare. The sector is easier to get in and out of compared to the strike as well. The strike doors can be a challenge at times to open. If it were just me and my wife, I would have gotten the sector over the strike, but my young son drive the strike like crazy, so he got to pick it out and we end up driving our jeep wrangler. I have not driven the Trailmaster challenger yet so I cannot comment on something I do not know. I can only comment on what I do know. But from what you are telling me in your post, I think you will like the sector over the strike. Same engine, suspension, just different seating position. I do know the Trailmaster and the Hisun UTVs both have solid rear axles, so I think the ride will be very close. The Trailmaster uses bucket seats as does the Hisun Strike, so take that under consideration compared to the Sector and see which you would like better, remember you are the one riding in it. I looked at it on some videos and it looks okay, but I just don't know from first hand knowledge.

  5. Hello there again, Just some more advice to those owning these fun machines. We rolled our unit during testing out at Dumont dunes, no one was hurt and the unit was pretty much un damaged. But some things to watch out for that I have learned. One; after being upside down, check the oil level, some oil can leak out of the crankcase vent tube casing the oil level to become low. This in return can cause damage to the engine due to lack of proper lubrication. Second; Oil can leak back into the CV belt cover since they share the shame ventilation tube as the intake, and as oil can return into the intake after a roll over, it can in reality seep back into the CV belt case. this would cause the belt to become saturated with engine oil. We noticed our unit smoking some after being rolled over. Upon inspection, we found the CV belt to be wet with oil. As a result we needed to replace the belt early. Also it might cause your clutch pads to become wet with oil, thus causing the clutch not to work well. I found a lot of burnt off clutch material on the CV rear cover only after removing the entire clutch assembly. So, as a person who has already experienced this first hand, I am just saying to check things if you ever do roll it over, it will save you time and money later on. It is not easy changing the belt, trust me.

  6. Another spot to check out is the OEM chain, it is not the best quality. I understand during manufacturing you make thousands of these things. To meet certain price points you have to use a quality that meets your requirements, but is not always the best due to price. I would recommend replacing it with a nice O ring chain. A good quality chain will make your sprockets last longer as well.

  7. Here are some new pics of our test Hisun 250. with the 2" lift kit and our exhaust kit installed. Our Hisun hauls butt. It sounds great and seems to run just fine. I know there are haters out there, and that's fine. I have taken this down to the frame and down to every nut and bolt to research everything about this unit. I know all the good and bad things about this unit, probably more so than most dealers as I have done so much R&D on it. I have had the engine out of it a few times, and have gotten it down to just a couple of hours now. I know all of the parts that are compatible with Japanese UTV/ATV units. I have replaced many parts with more reliable parts, but I have to tell you, for a chinese UTV, this thing has not really let us down. We have tested it in many of the off road parks here in Southern California including Pismo Beach, Dumont Dunes, Glamis and more. I understand the suspension fundamentals as well as the limitations. I have done extensive research on the rear suspension to look at independent rear IRS compared to the OEM solid rear axle. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. With the right parts installed, this unit has a lot of potential to unleash. I have ridden this unit with myself, weighing in at 200 lbs, and another adult at the same weight and it just doesn't die. We will be selling the lift kit and exhaust system soon, as soon as we get our website up and running and place things in the correct place on this forum. Matt
