Yep, leave switch installed, just bypass it.. tape the wires so water doesnt get in ............Not using Thermostat in mine either.. If you live in very cold climate you probably need one but then, you probably dont overheat in 0 degree weather

on mine, the switch which turns the fan on and off at preset temps is located on passenger side of radiator . Fan is NOT controlled by ECU. .it has a 2 wire plug-in.. simply unplug and jump the 2 wires .. Fan will then run when key is turned on.. mine was running 230-240 degress causing masive overheating and parts failure.. it now stays 170-180 degress on 100 degree days .. that switch was factory set way too high ..we used a infrared thermometer, the switch would not turn on til 220 degees and turned off at 190 .. but its on the return side .. thats how hot the water was going TO the engine.. poor design ...I tried to find a switch with low set temps or adjustable temps but could not .... Anyway, waterflow is adequate, it just needs far more cooling of the water BEFORE it returns to engine.. Thats my opinion at least. My mechanic agrees .. AND ITS WORKING.. I can run it hard all day... never runs hot now

Thru trial and error, we found that additional waterflow was unnecessary if you dramatically increase airflow thru radiator by bypassing fan thermoswitch to allow fan to run 100%.. Mine now runs cool.. no more overheating even on extremely hot days

must be.. by the way, that top will tear off .. I built a front mount bracket for mine, atteched to roll cage.. I tow at 70 mph with no problems now

haha I was saying BEHIND YOUR TRUCK as I WAS READING IT!! I am still bewildered by the 10,000 rpm... Mine peaks at 5500

so far its doing great.. no thanks to the pathetic service dept at Massimo Ripoff Motors

OH HELL YEAH.. new Head, New Yamaha Head Gasket, New Waterpump... We bypassed the thermoswitch for electric fan to run 100% .. That made a huge difference. ..running great now.. had it out 5 weekends now, run all day with no more overheating issues

I use 10w40 Castrol ACTEVO Part Synthetic motorcycle oil for wet clutches You can use any conventional or blend for wet clutch ..... I would not use a full synthetic in a wet clutch

good to hear its on the road again.. mine is still running fine, zero overheating now.. These are fun, now enjoy!

That guy will probably be fired for sending that to you free ...

Sorry ... according to Massimo Motors rep I talked to in Dallas, they dumped HISUN engines a year ago [ his words] because ...THEY ARE JUNK... now that mine has been repaired properly, it does run well.. but for how long? Who knows

as we have now found out, the new waterpump is adequate flow.. The problem lies in the extreme temps Massimo set for electric fan operation.. 210* on the return side of radiator before fan engages.. the engine stays around 230* .. death spiral for heads and head gaskets.and massive heat rising behind my seat!! . Since repairing damage, and bypassing control to run 100% fan cooling , I have no more overheating issues at all even on very hot days..

my condolences on buying anything Massimo.. we have all been thru the nightmare that is Massimo Motors problems.. Mine has been in the shop 6 times just this year.. Only one shop in my entire state will even work on them.. and Massimo wont cover warranty at all

Preaching to the choir dude..... Mine overheated on its first day in its very first mile after buying it at Tractor Supply.. .. Tractor Supply and Massimo ignored my requests for help .. It has ben in the shop 6 times by 300 miles!! You have my sincerest condolences on buying a UTV from the worst company on the planet .. Does yours have the HISUN engine or the LINHAI engine?

29 miles? sounds like a typical Massimo experience.. poor quality, even worse service

ask yourself why they are selling with only 300 miles... My Massimo was in the shop 6 times by the time it had 300 miles... I have 4 Honda ATVs with way more miles than that one and have never had a breakdown on any of them.. They ae bulletproof .. Also the imports may not be easy to find shops to work on them as well as parts availability

Not only can they delete them, but 4 were rejected for various technicallities before posting.. one I got an email back telling me customer service issues were NOT ALLOWED iN REVIEWS????????????? WTF?? Another said mechanical issues were not allowed, they needed to be sent to manufacturer?? so exactly what is allowed? ONLY GLOWING REVIEWS ??......... they suck I will never go there again

according to DMV, they were not authorized by state revenue dept to collect the tax unless they would physically bring the documentation to DMV.. They were to leave that to DMV to collect at time of registration.. that was bad enough, but to take almost 2 months to refubd my DOUBLE TAXATION is beyond belief.. Al they had to do was issue credit back on my card.. And the absolute dont give a crap attitude when I called back the next day with the overheating issue was just appalling ...I left scathing reviews on both their website... they deleted every single one within a day .

oh it gets MUCH worse... When I bought it, TS charged me 10% sales tax..;{$880.00} but they did not handle registration with DMV.. gave me the paperwork to bring there.. I went straight there.. DMV processed it, then said I owed 10% sales tax plus registration fees.. I showed TS receipt for already paying sales tax . DMV said go get your money back, TS has no authority to collect DMV tax if they do not handle registration.. Went bact to TS, they said.. "oh yeah, thats right, didnt we tell you?" uh NO!!! just show us the registration and we can refund it.. I did and they say, "we will mail it to you in 3 days" .. well, I paid with my VISA, why cant you credit it back to VISA? NOPE, has to be a check... after 14 days, no check, I called.. TS said ...oh we forgot to send it to CORP.. you will have it in 3 days... 3 more weeks, I called again ... they say, they will check on it.. no one calls me back. EVER! . I call CORPORATE office and raised holy hell.. promised they would overnight check... 12 days later it arrived by REGULAR MAIL!!! IN the meantime, my MSU overheated on its first day in its first mile!..when I called TS they gave me MASSIMO phone # and thats all.. ... So Tractor Supply and Masimo Motors will never see me or a single dollar of my money ever again.. They are both horrible companies who dont give a crap about their customers

disconnect a hose or open the airbleeds at waterpump or top of head

Thats the air bleeder on the pump. should be one on top of head at water inlet too ... .. and Yep Tractor Supply told me they only SELL Masimo, they have zero to do with service or issues.. thats betwen ME AND MASSIMO,.they did not even know who was authorized shop in my state... .and have a nice day.... thats why I wont ever shop there again.. And I have a tractor and bought multiple implements from them , grader blades , 6ft rotary tiller , bush hog etc. and 2 riding mowers .. wont buy anything else there

thats what they said , I dont know.. but if you look on ebay where they are selling them, its 6 months warranty.. you can buy 1yr for additional charge.. but it says PARTS ONLY ? They really are a bottom feeder company.. I just hope mine continues to work long enough to get some use out of it for my $8800 ..

Cant really say, I have not owned any other brand Side By side.. all my 4 wheelers are HONDAS.. Those damn things are bullet proof.. you can beat them all day long, and nothing breaks.. But when riding with other guys, the MSU does about as well as most in mudd.. its not nearly as fast on top speed or taking off as the other guys .. and you must come to stop to change from LOW to HIGH gear or to engage 4WD or 4WD LOCK .But I did have a big grin pulling one Kawasaki Mule out of a mud hole in 4WD LOCK .. Now it was a big deep and about 150ft long hole . The HONDAS had no problem going thru at all. .. Mine always ran well, my problem was the constant overheating and absolute dismal service dept at Massimo, and the dont give a crap attitute from Tractor Supply where I bought it. And to have MASSIMO Rep tell me .. "yeah, we dumped HISUN last year . Their motors are junk" and then tell me they wont warrantee anything Hisun .. and the Linhai motors are only 6 months.. ...........They just SUCK!

mine has no drain, just take off a hose ... well, another successful outing with mine... no overheating whatsoever this weekend.. and its briutally hot here.. full time fan operation seems to be the siver bullet

8000 rpm???? holy crap!!!!
