I recently purchased a new Kubota RTV520. When i try to start it i have to do the cold start procedure every time. Once it is running for a few minutes i can restart it without any issues.

The cold start procedure is turn the key to start position and let the fuel injection system turn on and stop. Crank for 10 seconds and if the unit doesn’t start, turn off and repeat the process 30 seconds later.

If it hasn’t been used for a week and i try to start it i have to repeat the cold start procedure at least 3 times until i get a successful start. 

The dealer says this is normal and its not a malfunction on the engine. I feel like its weird for a new machine to have this starting routine. 

I live in south Texas so the weather is not extremely cold.

Is ANYBODY having this problem? I am contemplating returning the UTV but i want to know if this is a common problem with the new 520 model.

i recently bought a kubota rtv 520, driven it twice, it's been sitting for a while and now won't start.

i didn't know about the "cold" start. i'll give it a go and i'm not impressed either.

      2017 TW450 Kohler ECH440 runs out of fuel when running wide open.
      By Sammy
      Runs fine just putting around the yard. Get it out on the road and about a half miles it runs out of gas. Let it idle for a few minutes and it will run for another half mile and do it again. Replaced both fuel pumps and filter. Does anyone know if I can get rid of the factory fuel pump?

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Replacement Kubota 1100C Mirrors
      By Bucky4444
      Has anyone found a decent replacement for the factory mirrors on a 2020 1100C?  My 2011 1100 and 2020 1100C both have the same mirrors and Kubota hasn't made one improvement to the design during those years.  Haven't checked the newer models so maybe Kubota finally woke up. Mine are definitely in need of improvement.  .
