Hi,
My Hisun HS700 2016 (Injected) Burnes oil (Large mount of Smoke).
Are Yamaha Rhino 700 piston rings fits to Hisuns and also better ? Which piston rings are the best ?
Thanks,
Why would they be better--just because they have a Yamaha label? They are in all liklihood made by the same Asian manufacturer--so it's "sic of one and a half-dozen of the other".
Are you sure it's the rings? Could be the head gasket or valve guides--have you done both dry and wet compression tests?

starter was hitting again this morning, 3 times before it would engage, i'm also thinking of replacing the circuit relay, kawasaki wants $43, used around $30.... Just wondering if i could go to O'rielly or someplace and just get a 4 pin relay?
The one you have is used... What does it look like--is it a plan ol' 4-pin DIN type cube relay, like this?
Does it have a connection diagram printed on it? If so let us see it and we can perhaps offer alternatives.

Well if it ain't included in the disclaimer, the company better be prepared for a lawsuit. Easy money nowadays.
I laugh each time I see a commercial for a drug. They begin the list of side effects with "don't take this if you're allergic to it".
As a friend said to me "common sense isn't common, or everyone would have it". No more truer statement for the times we live in.
That's one of my daily chuckles too, along with the list of possible side effects ( sometimes including death, which I have a hard time classifying as a "side effect") that are worse than the ailment the drug is supposed to help.

Ditto! I have nothing to offer re: those machines--way out of my "retired and living longer than I thought" budget...

Hey, I apologize. Seems someone bought up all the tape because they sold out of the Gorilla Glue. I guess there's a baldy convention in town and they heard about the idiot that tried to glue her hair on.
That^^^ would have perhaps made some sense--the dipshit used it because she ran out of hairspray.

taste like chicken ....or baby seal
My wife says I am often "bad"--several years ago we were at one of the various "zoo-like" attractions Florida offers (I do not remember which one in particular, they are pretty much interchangeable). In the gift shop they offered at one end of an aisle a basket of mini-baseball bats bearing their logo, and at the end cap of the opposite aisle a basket of stuffed baby seals under a "Today's Special" sign. Seeing this a an opportunity too good to miss I pulled the basket of bats over next to the basket of seals so as to orchestrate a theme for the display--this was but one of the times my wife called me "bad".

The only way to be sure is to run some and listen for signs (detonation predominately) of its not having sufficient anti-knock properties for your engine/l location and the weight of your right foot.
Here's a good, "more than you probably want to know", Octane 101" document.
Your Pro FX is only 9.5:1 compression, that's no where near requiring premium grade fuel. Apparently one or more "automotive engineer" bureaucrats decided that 85 octane would be OK for "regular" grade fuel in the "mountain states".
Oddly, fora bureaucratic action, there is actually some science behind that--air at higher altitudes has less oxygen content, making it less likely to fuel detonation l (no pun intended). So 85 octane may be OK.
FWIW the owner's manual for my Coleman Outfitter 400 says this about octane--It is incorrect.
Gasoline of Research Octane Number (RON) 91 is the same as an [R+M]/2 "[(Research + Motor] average, aka "USA pump rating") of 87.Its compression ratio is only 9.3:1 for Christ's sake!
Just run some, drive normally and listen to what the engine tries to tell you. My 2012 Infinity M37 (11:1 compression ratio ) has a "Premium" (91 [R+M]/2) octane recommendation--however I have been running 89 octane for 8+ years and 112k miles with no problems, even at WOT at 165 MPH... -

I heard that too--it was just a whiie back on one of those "I can't believe people can possibly get any stupider." days--kind of like November 4, 2020.
Though in this one I'm not sure to whom the coveted "Moron of the Year" award (the "Dummies") should go--the nitwit that sprayed her hair with contact cement, or the idiots in the hospital that doused her head in acetone...

Looks a lot better--the boots should do much better now; they were twisted up tighter than my ex-wife's panties.
I suspected there might be something you could remove or reconfigure--just out of curiosity, do you have a photo of the lift bars?

I have been pleased with this dual USB @ 3.0 A with a voltmeter...
I just had to hog out an existing hol in the dash where the light switch was on earlier models (one of the sensible ways they save production $$--remaking or re configuring the mould for the dash could cost big bucks--or just slap a 1¢ plug in it).
The hole was 25 mm or so I opened it up to 28 mm with a 1/2" sanding drum in a Dremel tool. The outlet draws next to no power with no load, you can leave it on all the time id you like though it has a soft-touch capacitive on/off switch--it has proven quite accurate...

The MSU500 uses the same front differential as the MSU400, the Hisun HS400/500, the Bennche BH400/500, and the Coleman Outfitter 400/500. (see diagram below):
It is part #17, the Servo Motor, that engage/disengages 4WD and the differential locker. It is activated by the push button switches on the dash panel powered by a 3 or 5 A fuse in the fuse block. It would seem one of those components is not functioning properly.
Here is the procedure for checking the servo motor--NOTE that two 1.5 V batteries are used--do NOT use more than 5 V to test the servo.

There is no transfer case per se, thetransmission output is routed to a short lateral shaft parallel to the crankshaft . That shaft sports a beveled pinion on the inboard end that drives a ring gear on what is variously called a "middle drive gear shaft" or "output shaft" that runs fore & aft in the crankcase. This shaft drives the front differential and rear final drive--it is powered when the centrifugal clutch on the crankshaft locks up (I.e. in both 2WD and 4WD), it is lubricated by the engine oil..
There is quite little in the front differential to "bind"--when was the gear oil last changed? First thing I'd do would be to drain the diff fluid and see what it looks like (metal particles, sludge, etc.) and give it a good sniff to "see" if it smells burnt.

It is the coupling/decoupling mechanism between the engine and transmission (typically a clutch in UTVs and the like, torque converters in real automatic tranny vehicles) that determines the extent to which "engine braking" is available--not the transmission type (CVT or other)
My Coleman (Hisun) Outfitter 400 (HS400) has a a locked rear end (independent suspension but no differential), a locking front differential, and engine braking to an extent--the "extent" being that if engine speed is over 1800 rpm or so the centrifugal clutch will be locked and there will b e some braking effect.
So, if you are driving along with the centrifugal clutch is locked up (rpm > 1800), and close the throttle, and the vehicle's inertia is sufficient to keep the engine speed above 1800 rpm there will be engine braking. When vehicle inertia falls below that necessary to keep the engine speed above idle the clutch will drop out and the only inherent braking effect is friction of the drive-train and the CVT (which with a "rubber-band" CVT can be considerable. For example, my driveway has about a 1-1/2 to 2 in./ ft. slope; I can park my UTV on that slope without the parking brake on and it does not roll downhill without a bit of a shove.
This will be true of any vehicle with a centrifugal clutch--for true engine braking you'll need manual or electric clutch.

I would think that it would be dangerous to bass fish, if that's the case.
I'm sure it is, then again they tell me riding motorcycles is "dangerous" too--I've been doing that for over 60 years.
Danger and I are old friends, ny uncle taught me all about it when I was 19. It was my Uncle Sam, he gave me a new fangled barely tested lightweight aluminum and plastic thing called an m16 and sent me to a place called Vietnam. I was there for 13 months and when I got back I found that regular run-of-the-mill danger did not bother me a whole lot.
I have found that I am at times--such as when people are almost literally pissing their pants over a particularly bad strain of the flu--oddly pleased I had that experience as I do not have to shake in my boots (which I am not ashamed to say I have literally done) each time someone tries to convince me the sky is falling.

See, you got me "going" again...

I don't know how you could be fishing in an area where they are, anyway.
it's Florida--my wife is a native and when asked by visitors as to whether a particular body of fresh water "has alligators?" she says "Only if it's wet." There's no place to fish for bass here that doesn't have gators.

Drill bits for acrylic (and other plastic) sheets have a "pointier" tip anlge than a typical twist drill (60° vs. 120° to 135°) to minimise the drill chipping out a mess when it "breaks through" t'other side and chipping in general. Standard twist drills cal b e easily ground to make them into "plasic bits"...
Commercial plastic bits often have a rough, sand-blasted like finish on the steep exposed flutes.

I agree with Travis. "Hybrid" to me means "two" primary systems to fail--not just one.
If electric vehicles made sense Baker Electric would not have failed in 1916 The only fundamental difference between a Baker and a Telsa is battery technology.
