Hisun Vector 500 Lower Timing Chain Sprocket


Recommended Posts

Okay guys, this Vector 500 is killing me. Hisun 500cc engine (Chinese)  About a year ago while riding slowly, I heard a tink and UTV turned off and would not start.  Checked everything long story short, timing chain jumped off lower sprocket, slightly bent the cam sprocket phasers.  Bought new chain and cam sprocket, set everything back to timing position, mounted chain on lower shaft sprocket and upper cam sprocket.  Set the tensioner, cranked and poof, chain once again jumped off lower shaft sprocket.  Again, repeated proper timing settings, remounted chain, cranked and poof again and again and again, chain keeps jumping off lower sprocket.  Just to be clear, valves, piston and all components are look in great condition.   Can't see shaft sprocket but to the finger behind the tight squeeze, all sprockets seem to be in place, or maybe not.  Tired of fiddling with it. This was bought brand new at Home Depot and has less than 200 hrs in the past 3 years.  Don't tell me to warranty it as that expired one year in. Talked manufacture out of McKinney TX and service tech was no help.  My question to you, what am I missing? What next?

Dumbfounded 🤔

Unlikely that its bent.  The crankshaft is too narrow as you can see on pictures. The sprocket is pressed in and the hours are under 200. No reason for that to bend. Hisun suggested new tensioner and tensioner guides but even those look brand new.

      Hello friends,
      I got my ODES Ravager UTV yesterday and after a couple of hours of driving when I go downhill I heard a strange loud noise a couple of times, like a gear skipping or maybe something from the differential.
      It doesn't always happen and when it does it is heard for a few seconds and then it goes away and everything works normally, I'm worried if there could be some major malfunction or what could be the problem if someone can help me?
      Thanks a lot.

      We just bought a used 2017 American Landmaster TW450. No hour meter that I can find, so not sure exactly how much it has been used. 
      The first 2 days we had it, the starter was a little sketchy, but it started after 2-3 tries. Sometimes when turning the key, we would hear a loud metal "clink" sound. Like the starter made contact, but didn't have enough power to turn. 
      THIS MORNING... Turning the key, we hear a single click sound. That's it. Even with a new battery, the starter is still doing the same thing. Both batteries (old and new) were reading 12.8 volts on volt meter. So I'm wondering what else could be going on? Any ideas on what to look for would be greatly appreciated...
      Thank you!

      At the end of last year my Coleman UT 500 will not go into reverse. I can hold it over toward the reverse to move it nut it won't lock into reverse. Anyone have this problem? Winter is just about over and going to have to get this resolved. Thank You!
