Hi Cliff,

I had seen that illustration. Unfortunately the mechanics on mine are entirely different that the picture. I tired calling Massimo support, but they tend to give you the run around. There has been a lot of turn over at Massimo. I hope when the smoke clears over there, that it's an improvement. Odes has even less support. I can't even find a "service manual" like I have for my sea-doo's. They tell you how to fix/adjust everything.

Hi Cliff,

With your info and after inspection, I found the parking brake cable leads to single rotor on the rear axel. The adjustment I was referring to is the handle. Pulling the handle all the way up operates fine, but has only the slightest braking function to hold the UTV in place. Thank you for the in depth explanation.     ----------Blair

Thanks Travis. Yes, I has seen that. Unfortunately for me, the design has entirely changed. I wish massimo would do an update. Appreciate the effort.

Hey Crew,

Can anyone give me any info on how to access the hand brake adjustment on a Massimo 2021 MSU 800? I didn't know if you remove the seat/console OR skid plate. Appreciate any help. Hope some of you are getting out today, Spring is here!

I put larger tires on a Dodge Dakota years ago. I figured that the larger mud and snow tread would help in the winter. Being that this was a manual transmission (this was a basic regular cab 4X4 no frills truck), it really dropped the power significantly. Learned an expensive lesson then. 

If there's a way to change the final drive gearing, that would help. But that's also an expensive ordeal. 

Appreciate the info brother. Good to know.

I would think that would be noticeable. 

Thought the same thing.

Well...I guess I need to reconsider my mod. I sure didn't account for all of that. I shoulda mentioned, it's going to be a street legal pavement queen. I'm getting DOT tires and thought it would be nice to beef it up just a little since I'm going to get new wheels as well. Can you suggest anything to me? BTW appreciate the in depth research/knowledge. 

Can some one tell be that max size of tires I can put on my MSU 800? It comes stock with 26" tires, I want to put 29 inch tires. Can I do that without damaging my SXS? Thanks in advance!  ----Blair
