Hi all,  in a world of scammers and blah how does one safely buy a UTV through email and ship it across the country.   Anyone have a process to  not get screwed ?  Guy Sent me pictures.  Guy Sent me a video that was dated today.   I mean. I'm nervous.  Need help

I would not do it unless its through a dealership. Tell them you will go through a proxy, local business/dealership and see if they want to continue the deal and provide a time to go see it in person. You can try contacting a local powersports dealer or auto dealer to see if they'll check it out for a fee. Just an idea.

Turns out it was a scam.   It's too bad that someone from this site sent me to the info to contact his friend.   Googled the friends email and bam!   Scam central.   I hate people like that.   Thank you for your info and knowledge 

 

Please report whoever referred to the Mods, need them out of here too.

You can message me if you like and I'll take a look. If someone reached out from this community and they are scammers...lets get rid of them!

      Coleman UTV 400 Overheating
      By Rey Ximenes
      OK, here's the mystery of the day. I was using the UTV the other day and the idiot light came on that said it was overheating. I immediately shut down and checked the coolant. No coolant! I refilled the overflow reservoir and the radiator and all was fine. 2 days later the light is on again. I rechecked the radiator and it was again empty? Bone dry? Now, here's the weird part, There is no coolant anywhere on the floor below the vehicle. I can't even see any on the frame. I have it up on the lift and am getting ready to start tearing into the bottom "skid plate" to see if the leak is in the hoses there. Any suggestions as to where to start? I have yet to begin and I am already baffled!

      Massimo T-Boss 410 has lost all electrical power
      By robwork9
      Hopefully someone out there is a T-Boss 410 electrics expert or a Massimo mechanic is viewing this. I parked my 410 and it was working great. I came back a week later and attempted to crank it and nothing. Turned the key and no power. Figured it was a bad/low battery so I charged it. Still nothing. Attempted to jump start it and still nothing. Usually when I put the key in and turn it to the first position, the display comes on and I hear the ECU and other items boot. Now it is doing nothing. 
      I slowly went through the electrical system and found the main fuse attached to the starter relay, part 71602 (pic 1) blown. I figured replacing this fuse would fix my problem. It didn't. I then ordered a new starter relay thinking maybe that part had gone bad and caused the fuse to blow, but a new relay did not fix the problem. 
      I have found a work around for starting the machine. If I take one of the purple/black leads (pic 2) and insert one of them in the bottom right of the starter relay (pic 1 and 3) then the machine will get power even with the key in the off position.  I'm bypassing something but don't know what. I can use my right hand to hold the wire against the lower right of the starter relay, reach over and hold the brake with my foot, then take my left hand and turn the key and it will crank. As soon as I remove the wire from the relay the machine shuts down. I have even removed the power distributor box and it will still get power when I touch the wire to the relay. Of course this is not the way it should work but if I can't solve this problem somehow I may just have to rig a connector to the relay and bypass whatever is causing the electrical issue. Massimo has told me the purple/black wires on my model are not used.
      Any help in figuring what my problem may be or other items I can try?
      v/r,
