Well, guys, after 2 years of disasterous lack of reliability from my MSU 500, begining on first day I owned it,  [ 6 trips to shop, AT MY EXPENSE, massimo never paid one cent]  it looks like we have corrected all the factory inadequacies with reliable YAMAHA parts . This seems to have resulted in a decent  side x side  that is reliable now as well as capable  on the trails and in the mudholes. I know,  I am as shocked as anyone , but its true..  Through no help whatsoever from  the  joke  called Massimo Tech Service,  it is actually performing  well.   It has not had to be towed back to trailer in almost a year.... Just thought I  would update  you guys.. I sure hope I m not crowing too soon.

So, whose engine was it first? Did Yahama just improve on it, or did Linhai copy the Yahama engine?

nope  , Massimo and  HISUN cloned the Yamaha Rhinos , completely .....   Massimo  brought the parts from China and assembled it in DALLAS TX.         Then after a few years, switched to Linhai engines after massive problems with the  HISUN  engines..   The good thing is that many Yamaha parts interchange with the poor quality Chinese Hisun junk . If you swap enough Yamaha stuff into it, it begins to function reliably

You may buy a Massimo, but 5 years later, have a Yamaha....

As far as we know.. He bought it new 3-4 yrs ago. I have always praised HONDA for durability and quality.. But that shocked me when it fell apart in my hand ... maybe it  was a bad batch of bonding adhesive? 🤯

It surprised us , first that it failed  in only 3 years. and   Because I have 10 yr old Hondas still working perfectly. But that it just fell apart was shocking.. I would have expected that from Massimo but never Honda.. oh well, nobody s perfect I guess.. I still love my 3 Honda ATV s.. Great machines .  We put the new one on and works fine.. He got it  online .

      MSU 700 Oil Burning
      By Chile
      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.

      Massimo T-Boss 560 or CFMoto Uforce 600
      By barticus73
      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.
       
      Thank you,

      2021 Hisun Axis 500 No Start - Need Help Please
      By Hunterman22
      2021 Hisun Axis 500 UTV (From Lowes)
      Will NOT START
      MY apologies if this is to much info just wanted to give yal the most information possible for help.
      I'm a so called diyer. An Electrician by trade 21yrs. I got my S×S from my last job. The contractor purchased this S×S for this specific job brand new, from Lowes. They used it for hauling materials, tools, & a little bit of anything you can think of on an Industrial type job site. 
      I remember getting on the SxS one time & pushed the gas petal all the way to the floor & SxS had very little power. 
      So anyway ,when the job finished up back mid July this year (7/2024) , I asked the contractor what they was going to do with it. I was told to take it. Otherwise it would go to the contractors yard (storage yard) & most likely rust away. 
      Took it home washed it , it had a heavy coat of dust on it & in it dust was every where. My helper & I had to push it on the trailer to get it home.  After washing it throughly I let it sit & dry out for a good day and half, maybe 2 days. Before trying to start it. NO START. Will turn over & try to start but thats it. 
      So here's what I've purchased & installed. New Air Filter, new spark plug, new air idle control valve (AICV), new throttle position sensor, new throttle body, new oxygen sensor, new digital dash speedometer/fuel gauge/clock. 
      Also drained the old oil & gas & replaced with new oil & 93oct. gas. I should probably mention that I've changed the AICV twice. The 1st time I changed the AICV I was able to get the SxS started & let idle for at least 10-15min. Drove out of the garage, with very little power,  turned it around & barely got it back in the garage.That was the one & only time I've been able to start the SxS. I've also cleaned the Throttle Body and & intake with TB cleaner.  So after that the AICV was  making weird noise so I pulled it out & tried cleaning it, pretty sure I messed it up. So I purchased a Throttle Body that came with new AICV & TPS. Still NO START.  I've checked the fuel pump & the fuel injector.  I took the injector off still hooked up to wiring & turned the key over, the injector sprayed a lot of gas out kinda the size of a volleyball. I've also checked the clearance gap on the intake & exhaust valve. But today 11/2/2024 I'm going recheck spark plug gap & the valve gaps. And alot of other checking. Would the driver side seat belt have anything to do with it not starting?? I know the driver side seat belt has to be in gauged for full throttle "going fast". Thing is the drv. side seat belt will latch but feels like might be messed up inside of it. Tired opening it up but to no avail.  I've never had a S×S or 4wheeler so I was really excited when I got the S×S,not so much anymore.  I work on & fix my own vehicles usually no problems.  But this SxS is kicking my ass.
      So if possible & someone could help me with some ideas or tell me what Im doing wrong or did wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you for reading thus far.
