    Here is the rear view of the Hisun strike 250, you can see the lift kit gives it more suspension as well as the exhaust muffler is different. We have also placed a fire extinguisher on the rear cross bar.

    Here is our test mule, with our 2" lift kit, our exhaust system, and some lighting. We have also taken this down to the frame and removed every single nut and bolt. We have done a lot of R&D on this UTV. Please feel free to ask us any question regarding it. Thank you. Matt

  5. 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
  6. Here is a pic showing the washer that needs to be bent down over the end of the shaft that secures the nut to the front sprocket.
  7. I am assuming you are talking about the front sprocket? You stated the shaft was stripped? There should be a lock washer on it, preventing the nut from backing off. It sounds like the locking washer is not there, this would cause the sprocket nut to become loose for sure! Regardless of what loctite you used. I have some contacts at Hisun, let me know if you need some assistance here, I can make a call for you. Matt
  8. Do you have a OEM service manual? It is available for free if you need it to help you work on it yourself. Was it the front or rear sprocket?
  9. One of the problems I have found on the Hisun is that the threads are very loose. I mean that even when the bolt and nut are correctly torqued, they can work themselves loose due to the poor tolerances on the threads. Some of the things I have done to overcome this is to replace any bolts that do come loose with a higher quality screw, nut, bolt etc. Using blue locktite should be more than enough to secure it, unless they didnt torque it properly. I took mine down to the frame and put it back together, I found a lot of loose nuts and bolts. I replaced most of them with higher quality stainless steel replacements. But overall, I am still happy with my purchase. I have yet to find a vehicle that didn't need some kind of tweaking here and there.
  10. Hey there, new member here, just looking for information and tips. I just purchased a Hisun strike 250 for my young son. We have taken it to elsinore mx park here in so cal and he had a blast. I know I am going to get a lot of feedback regarding this, but I have to tell you, for the money, and his age, I can't complain. It always starts, is a blast to ride, and yes, I can fit in it at 6.1 and 195lbs. Have we had any issues? sure, but about the same about as any other vehicle, so I can't really complain. We couldnt find any aftermarket parts for it, so we engineered our own 2 inch lift kit for it, and it worked great. We have mounted additional lights on it as well. Some of the things we did notice are that the shift linkage seemed to be rubbing the exhaust pipe, and so I modified the shift linkage, and now that problem is gone. I also noticed that the factory plastic is very brittle, meaning it will crack if not handled properly. The quality of the OEM nuts and bolts are very poor, they seem to strip out very easy. So, we are replacing what ever bolt we remove, with a higher quality version. The battery is not easy to access, and in a pinch, that could be a problem, as tools are required to get to the battery. If you were to need a jump out in the boonies, you might be stuck. Also, the factory 4 point harness is hard to adjust, so we might have to replace them with aftermarket versions. Aside from that, he has not really had any problems with it. Granted it is not a larger 500 or 900cc UTV, so the load and demands on it are less. I do wish it had more power, but since he's only 9, I am good for now lol. It never quit on us, ran great in 106 degree heat, and handled the muddy track with ease. Another plus, it fits in the back of my truck bed with the tailgate up lol. Just my 2 cents.
