Just bought a brand new 2022 (NOS) Sector E1 with Lithium upgrade. (Single 135ah/200amp continuous). I've climbed a moderate hill in my woods probably 20 times since buying it. Today It won't climb it unless I am in Low. In High it almost makes it and then completely dies and I have to roll back down the hill. In Mid range (Max Range) I can't get 2 feet up the hill and the power output in only 100 amps, I have climbed this hill in every speed before many times. I put it on the trailer tonight and it wouldn't even get on the dang trailer in mid range. Torque is gone. That being said, when I am just cruising around in Midrange, it runs absolutely perfect with plenty of power. The only thing I did was charge it up, that is all. I charged to 100% using the charger that came with the battery. Before you think the BMS is shutting down due to overcharge protection, remember I am going UP hill so there is no regeneration AND I have done it before at 100% charge AND another big problem is that after 1 mile it is already down to 85% so it's not over charging and why is the battery draining so fast when I got 27 miles before. Battery output is fine in Low it pulls 200 amp up the hill just like normal so that doesn't point to the battery being the issue. All the individual cells on the battery are in line, so there is no dead cell either. I am tech savvy but to toward electric motors and I tried to cover all my bases. Please don't tell me basics like torque is reduced in High and Mid. The only thing I can think of is that I smelled something when I took my first drive today and I thought it was the Ebrake dragging but there was the correct amount of play in the cable and I jacked up the rear wheels and they spin freely. maybe something burned out in the motor, I do not knowm still runs great, we'll see if I have any trouble on the hills at the lake house this weekend. Maybe this is "Normal" and the settings were off before and was giving equal torque for whatever reason instead of 50% in Mid and 70% in High like the manual says....
For reference....this is it not even able to get on the trailer in mid range

The steering shaft is slipping,I checked it's tight as the bolt will take at the u-joint.. Is there a slot or something it may have jumped? This is right after the shaft enters the area under the hood.Thanks.

My X1130 is involved in the recall. It is a long way to the dealer. does anyone have a drawing with the torque specs so I can do it myself?

This may apply to other models as well, but mine is a 2022 Sector 750. My brakes were squealing irritatingly from day one, so I inspected all the brakes in the first 500 km and found that one of my parking brake pads had fallen off the backing plate, possibly from the factory. I thought this was an aberration until recently, when one of the factory pads fell off the left front caliper. Basically, the friction pad delaminated from its backing plate in both cases. Fortunately, it happened at low speed and my wife felt the pedal lurch toward the floor, knowing something had occurred. I replaced ALL the pads, which still had plenty of wear life left, because it's clear that there is some kind of manufacturing defect with these factory pads. So if your brakes are squealing, check all the pads. Or just check them to be sure -- they still function with the backing plate squeezing against the rotor. This can be a dangerous failure.

I have a 2014 Intimidator and need brake pads and calipers. The price for pads and rotors are outrageous through the dealer. I have heard Intimidator used the brake assembly from a compact car when first building these UTVs.
• Can anyone tell me of a less expensive source to buy brakes for Intimidators from, or
• Can anyone furnish information on what make and model vehicle Intimidator used their brakes from?
Thanks so much for any support you can provide me on this topic.
Mike
