So I was just thinking if there is a product out there you could use in multiple vehicles to notify your friends of an emergency.

Ive got a couple of radios that we use to communicate while riding. Between music, engine, and/or wind noise they don’t exactly do the job unless stationary or expecting communication.

Does anyone know of any products that use a light indicator of sorts? My thought is a dash mounted device, either one light or multiple lights assigned to each vehicle, that illuminate on all vehicles when someone has an emergency.

There are radios manufactured that include an emergency button that notifies others with the same radio of an emergency. These radios come in both a portable (walkie talkie style) and mobile (mounted) units. However, these radios are VERY expensive, like $5000.00 each. These are used in law enforcement, so I don't know how available they are for the public. There are probably other ways to do this, but I'm not a technician.

but what if none of your friends are there? something to attract attention of any other riders might be better .. like boats, we use airhorns in emergencies .. but now, most cell phones work just about everywhere

      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?

      I have a 2020 800 sx with about 16 hours on it.  From day one I have heard a clunking noise from the front end going over bumps.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Also this past weekend while out riding I heard a noise that sounded like the dump bed bounced three or four different times, again has anyone experienced anything like that.  Thanks, gary

      Hey Team, our issue is not as bad as some I've read here...  We put some songs one a 64GB USB stick, plugged it in and the USB icon is still greyed out and won't let you select.  Any suggestions?  All the songs are in the root directory.  Thanks, Kevin & Shelbie

      I'm looking for an engine for my Hisun 700 SXS.
      I've found a LOT of scam sites, and need to find a legitimate business to purchase a used engine.

      Hey everyone – my name is Adam and I’m doing some market research to better understand the ATV / UTV community. I'm especially interested in hearing about:
      What you use your vehicle for (work, play, etc.)
      What you love about it
      What frustrates you
      What the overall experience of riding has been like
      If you're open to hopping on a casual 30-minute Zoom or phone call sometime this week or next, I’ll send you a $100 gift card as a thank-you.
      No sales, no pitches—just listening and learning. I'd also just ask that you send over a photo of you and your side-by-side in action (nothing formal—trail pics or selfies are totally fine!).
      If you're down to chat, drop a comment or DM me and we’ll find a time that works. Would really appreciate the chance to learn from you 🙏
      Thanks!
      – Adam
