That's the question! Or, if you want to add details:
(a) How do you use the UTV? (roads? off-road to get to trees? etc.)
(b) If you are wearing a helmet--how frequently? What type of helmet?
Ā
My own answers: (a) Most of the time off-road to get to downed trees, cut the trees to logs and haul the logs back for splitting. (b) Very rarely, a ski helmet and not a motorcycle helmet.

After 10 hours of use, my machine had developed a low speed brake squeal. I removed the brake assembly and discovered that everything was put together dry. Not even lubrication on the caliper pins. After lubricating and reassembly, the squeal has disappeared. I will do the other three wheels today. Also, all grease fittings were under-greased (if at all) based on the amount of grease filled before they purged. This includes the drivelines. Next- I found many screws which were loose and/or stripped. I was able to tighten or fix them with my tap and die set. The lower a-arms on the front do not have grease zerks. I will remove the arms and install some. I guess Iām not surprised or even disappointed. These are just things that should be looked at on any machine. One thing I am pissed about though, is this āweld from hellā on the front . Totally unacceptable. For sure there will be water entry and eventual internal rust.Ā
(see photo) I will fix it. I did an oil and filter change which some of you will say was not necessary. But break-in time is when you are most likely to have contamination from production and initial wear-in. BTW there was some metal in the filter. Cheap insurance to change often. Engine access is very difficult on this machine compared to other Ā models. You have to remove lots of stuff to get to it. But I still like the machine very much, and Iām having a ball with it. Future plans include lights, cab enclosure and heater. Winters are long in Northern Michigan.Ā

Howdy all,
Time for the 200 hour service.Ā I did see that someone finally put a youtube video up.Ā Only thing it is missing is the spark arrester service.Ā Anyone know anything about that?Ā I did see a youtube video, not related to this one, for doing that service but it is very suspect.Ā I'm not a fan of beating on parts with a rubber mallet.
Anyway, here is the video that I will using to do my service.Ā Hope it is of use to some of you.

Hey everyone,
I am looking for people who enjoy remote adventures to test a new service I have launched, I thought I'd reach out to the community here.
Almost three years ago, my travels took me to Cape Scott Provincial Park, at the northern end of Vancouver Island, Ā a remote area on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, where I spent a week. While there, I realized I would have had no way of getting notified of a distant earthquake and the resulting tsunami. My Garmin inReach would have allowed me to call for help in an emergency or to get a current forecast, but it couldn't alert me in the case of an immediate risk. Imagine a similar situation in an area at risk from flash flooding, forest fires or a tornado. When I got back to civilization, I tried to find a solution. Surprisingly, no one offered a notification solution using a satellite device like inReach!
So, I founded a company called Adiona Alert to provide the service I needed but couldn't find.Ā
After more than two years of work, including testing the service over the last six months throughout North America and issuing over 2000 safety alerts, including severe weather, to our small fleet of test devices, we are beginning to invite people to join our Early Access program so they can start using the service today for free!Ā
Given where your adventures likely take you, this community would be perfect to test the service.
As we slowly add small groups of users, It would be great if some of you would apply for our Early Access program. You would get these potentially live-saving alerts for free. All I ask in return is to share your thoughts, suggestions, and even complaints with my team to improve the solution.
I would love you to visit our website - AdionaAlert.com, to learn more and apply for our Early Access program.
Thanks for considering this, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
J.S.

Who ever designed the placement of the oil dipstick on the T-Boss 550 should receive an award. He couldnāt have placed it in a more inconvenient location. Has anyone figured out an easy way to check your oil in these machines? Guess this is the place you refill also!
