Hey so after seven years of marriage and two children I am finally hitting that point in life when a  man must become a kid again! I plan to purchase my first utv within the next 5 months or so.  Looking to gain as much info and possibly even some fellow riders to show me the ropes.  Ive been to a few places on the west coast after living in arizona for a few years and i cant wait to get behind the wheel again.

Welcome to the forum!

Do yourself a favor, and don't buy one of those Chinese brands. Massimo, and Hisun come to mind. They look good, and probably run good when you buy it. But typically there's little to no factory support. Several of these have some real horror stories. People can't find things like CV axles  or shocks. The service manual is little more than an owner's manual. And due to price, and availability, a necessary diagnostic tool isn't an option for most people.

If you have above average fabrication, and mechanical skills. Then go for it. Otherwise get a name brand. Exactly which one is subjective. It all depends on intended use, budget, and taste. Having a competent local dealership is always a plus too.

Good luck in whatever you decide!

      Best place to find info on Hisun or Massimo UTV's
      By Eman85
      I have been searching and can't find much info on these units. Pretty surprising as every other thing I own I find a lot of info on. Researching for tech info and such it's like no one owns any of these yet I see them everywhere.

      Utv wont start and broken fuel injection wire
      By Jeff freeman
      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.

      Polaris Giving Away a Custom 1776 Edition RANGER XD 1500 NorthStar UTV
      By Alex
      If you’ve been looking for a chance to score a brand-new UTV, Polaris just launched one of the most unique giveaways we’ve seen in years.
      To celebrate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, Polaris has announced its Celebrate American Heroes Giveaway, offering one lucky winner a custom-built Polaris RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar 1776 Edition along with an all-expenses-paid trip to Nashville, Tennessee.
      The giveaway isn’t just about winning a side-by-side. Polaris is encouraging people to nominate someone they consider an American hero—whether that’s a veteran, first responder, teacher, volunteer, tradesperson, community leader, farmer, healthcare worker, or simply someone who makes a positive difference every day. Entrants can nominate themselves or someone else by sharing their story and submitting a photo.
      What’s Included?
      The grand prize is a highly customized RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar 1776 Edition featuring:

According to Polaris, fewer than 100 of these special-edition 1776 models will be produced, making it one of the more unique RANGER builds we’ve seen from the factory.
      Why the RANGER XD 1500?
      The RANGER XD 1500 NorthStar sits at the top of the Ranger lineup and is designed for serious work and recreation. With its enclosed cab, heating and air conditioning, premium comfort features, and heavy-duty capability, it’s become one of the most talked-about utility side-by-sides in the industry.
      Whether you’re using a UTV on the farm, around your property, hunting, trail riding, or for work applications, the XD 1500 is one of the most capable utility machines Polaris has ever built.
      Entry Information
      The giveaway is open to eligible U.S. residents 18 years or older. Participants must submit their nomination story and photo through Polaris’ official entry page. Polaris is accepting entries through early July, with the winner receiving the vehicle at a special event in Nashville this August.

      Possible trouble point to keep an eye on
      By Pop Bob
      I had been driving for about 15 minutes, everything fine. All of a sudden the engine was surging, losing power, would run with 1/2 throttle or greater and was backfiring badly. Luckily I was close to home and got it back. The tipoff to me was that I thought I was hearing intake noise. Sure enough, the rubber boot which connects the air cleaner and intake piping to the throttle body came loose. Obviously the computer was confused. It turned out to be an easy fix, but this is now added to my inspection list. Just thought this might help someone else.
