Maybe you are exceeding load limit..I think mine say 400 lbs in bed

Do not use full synthetic automotive oils..you will fry the wet clutch..

welcome😁

Overheating is an issue with Chinese UTVS.  Especially anything HISUN..full time fan is a good idea in hot weather

I find your post very interesting.  I just took a quick look and they do look like nice machines, but I don't have a dealer within 70 miles that I see. Your post makes me want me to take a closer look.  If I were to be shopping for a machine, I'd make an effort to consider the CFMOTO.   My Honda Foreman ATV is about 24 years old, and it could have a premature serious problem, but so far it keeps on plowing snow and hauling firewood.  LOL

I highly recommend a test ride.. even if you have  to go70 mi .. I m 70 yrs old and rode ATVs since a kid so I speak from experience.I too have 1 Honda thats 25 yrs old and still runs.  But  I was genuinely impressed with CF MOTO. And no, I dont work for them..   We have had zero issues with ours and I do not baby them!

I have owned many Hondas over the last 40 yrs.. All were absolutely bulletproof machines..  but I must say I bought a CF MOTO ATV  1 1/2 yrs ago because there were no Hondas available anywhere..   and it is fabulous..  2 yr warrantee, dealers everywhere if I need one.. But so far, oil change is all its needed.. and it smokes my Hondas.  My wife loves the automatic CVT trans and power steering and smooth IRS ...

Mine all  start instantly with the AGM s.. even hot. seem to last longer too.  I just changed a Chrome  in my Honda, it was 7 years old and still worked but I figured it was due.. Dont want to get stranded 4 miles in the woods.😁

Yes! The U1 battery format is one of the shortsighted design issues in the 550 series. It is completely unsuitable for a UTV, but that is the hand we are dealt.I assume that you use the same battery in your 410.

Just buy the biggest and best unit that will fit in the tray. I bought an AGM 350 CCA battery from Amazon. (ASIN: B0CKSKHDM6)

There may be others that fit in that space, but my issue was resolved using the Sealed AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) construction rather than the flooded lead acid design.

And NEVER buy a N-EVERSTART battery from the Big Wally if you want to get home!

Agree on N Everstart battery..junk...I Have been using CHROME BATTERIES  for years in all my ATV UTVs.  Excellent battery. 2 yr warrantees

Don't have much good to say about Massimo but my 2014 MSU500 still has the original battery.

LOL  DEKA?  great batteries.. 

I replaced mine with an adjustable switch.We tested oem and it did not engage fan   til over 230 degrees F. This is why it blew headgaskets and the heat in the cab was unbearable.Set new switch to come on at 180 *F. Cab is much cooler and no more boil overs.

DO NOT BUY MASSIMO OR ANYTHING HISUN...   you have been warned.  You will regret it.  They are Chinese junk.. 

I run screaming at the mere mention of the word HISUN....I had a nightmare of problems with mine  ,beginning on it's first day.and got zero help from Massimo in TX or HISUN in China

Hasn’t been warm enough up here for much fishing, but it’s changing today. Hope you didn’t get any damage from that last storm. 

85 today. Bass are spawning ..no damage at home or Whiskey Bay camp

BTW. Mine is a 2017  w Hisun trash engine.   However I have replaced many parts with YAMAHA quality parts.The MSU500 is a RHINO Clone and many parts are interchangeable..It has become a decent machine now.

Good morning.  How's it hanging?  I'm. Fishing in the Basin.  LIFE IS GOOD

Happy for you few with g[d experiences. With Massimo.  I was not one of them. Mine broke on its first day in its first mine.Took 3 days of calling just to talk to rep.they said they stopped using Hisun engines due to mass problems and therefore didn't warranty..One day old? Only one shop in the whole state will work on them. CASH up front because MSsimo. Stiffed them on several claims. Leaking head gasket. 6 more times inn shop in 6 months..cash only..$3K..My advice....buy something else

I feel your pain.. I bought a  brand new Massimo from Tractor Supply.. Broke on day one in its first mile!  Neither Tractor Supply or Massimo would lift a finger to help me. 

Do Not Buy Massimo...  bought one new from Tractor Supply..   Overheated on first day in first mile.. Tractor Supply refused to help, Massimo would not pay for repairs.. Refused to do anything. It went in the only shop I could find in my state that will even work on them, 6 times in first year.  Head Gasket failures.. Cracked head.. ............They worked on it, but you must pay cash, Massimo has stiffed every shop around. When I called BBB on them, there were hundreds of complaints.. I threatened suit, rep laughed on phone.. said..wont be the first one!............Trust me when I say... DONT BUY MASSIMO! 

Wrong fuel? 87 instead of 93?  add a can of Royal Purple octane booster . In that tank it will bring it  up 5 or 6 OR

Welcome.. Hope you have trouble free time with yours.  Please Be aware of overheating issues with Massimos.  Enjoy 

Just Dont use a full synthetic auto oil,, will destroy your wet clutch .. I use Castrol Actevo  in all of mine.  Buying expensive plug is waste.. You wont drive 100,000  miles and thats the only advantage to exotics. Copper plugs have better spark... 

welcome  fellow  Cajun.....I love those mud bugs but $12 /lb is crazy right now.  

Damn right.. I trust no one now.. lol

At least they talk to you... Massimo just hangs up when the hear the word PROBLEM or Warrenty.

lol  They must be a subsidiary of MASSIMO..lol🤣
