Hey guys need a bit of help here just purchased this Joyner mini sand viper from my boss not to long ago has 254 miles on it so not much use on it so far had to clean carb to get it running drained old gas out as it was sitting in storage for 4years drained the coolant added 50/50 mix to it ran a radiator flush through the system also replaced the radiator cap with a Honda cap tested the thermostat is working correctly now the issue I'm having is the coolant light turns on then the fan kicks on after the fan kicks off the coolant light goes off now what's the running temperature on these cars curious ?? I have a thermo gun the guy at the Joyner dealer told me 212 Fahrenheit that can't be possible could it ? Any help would be appreciated hate to ruin the motor as its really expensive to fix

Also make sure you rad fan is working properly. It may be working, but doesn't produce the necessary speed to cool the engine.

We had a very similar issue recently and it turned out it was a weak rad fan, so I bought 1 from 4 wheel online and problem solved.

      I am looking to buy a small UTV to do work around my property and priced a brand new Massimo T-Boss 560 through Lowes @ $10,500 out the door or a  Dealer provided CFMOTO Uforce 600 at $11,500 out the door.    Are there any glaring reasons to go with the Uforce 600 at an extra $1000?  Is one model more reliable than the other?  Any input greatly appreciated.

      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

      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 ?
