Its great to see what everyone is doing with there utv's. I recently bought a Trooper T4, its a great machine. I recently found oil leakeing out of my right front shock and its empty now. I wondered if there was a way to repair the shock or do I need to buy a new one? If someone had one they had taken off to replace it with an upgrade I am looking to buy one.

We ride a lot around Utah so if anyone has any good trail ride suggestions we would love to hear about great places to go.

Thanks,

yatto

First off Hello! Mine did the same thing...You cannot rebuild them there welded togather...Keep looking on here...If you are in a hurry you might just have to buy a new one..There are a few on here that put shocks on theirs....So you might get lucky...

as far as trail suggestions go, have you checked out hobble creek? there's a pass that goes around, and ends at squaw peak. it's basically a dirt road but there's a ton of riding in there and it's not well known/low traffic.

other than that, west desert is your friend!

Well I'm struggling trying to do these posts right. Thanks bigdan120 for the advice about my shock being not repairable and thanks Cupojoe for the trail ride information. I didn't know you could ride UTV's up Hobble Creek Canyon, I will certainly check it out. It looks like we will go try the Joyner out tonight up American Fork Canyon.

      Riding out today it acted like it ran out of gas,  stalled and died and would not start.   Towed back to house,  New  plug added this past month,  plenty of oil, getting plenty of gas, battery cranks good.   Trys to kick in and starts but doesnt.   Two days prior while sitting at a idle it died.  Added gas and it started did my ranch chores with it.  But just now it stalled out cranks but will not start.   Tried to find if fault codes came up on the clock like manual says but not sure I am doing that right.  Any and all help apprecated.  Thank you

      2018 Massimo 700 MSU. The machine started burning oil all of a sudden. One day fine-- next morning burning oil. Looking for advice. Do I pull the engine to inspect the top end or can it be done with the engine in place? Pro? Cons?
      Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated in advance.

      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 ?

      Decided to do an oil change on the Massimo ...drained oil, screen was very clean even tho oil wasn't.  Then went to remove old filter.. holy crap ..I tried every tool I have, could not budge it..Went to store and got one of the end cap type..fit nice and tight, put a 1/2 in drive ratchet on it..nope..not moving.  Put a 18 on breaker bar o. It. The inside of the removal tool broke off!!  Had to weld it back together. Put a pipe on the bar for more leverage.  Finally broke it loose..
      I have never seen a filter in my 55 yrs of working on engines so tight..And i was the one who put it on 2 yrs ago.  JUST HAND TIGHT!

      Looking for a output shaft for a Joyner trooper t2. Went to move the buggy after sitting all winter and it appears the out put shaft that drives the rear wheels broke off inside the transmission so looking for the shaft or a complete transmission if someone has one
