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....

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 .

      Massimo durability and parts
      By Smittay
      (posted a similar question to the Hisun folks) Looked at a lot of UTVs lately. Couple Questions about Massimo. Some people say they are just cheap with no customer service. Other people seem to have no problems with them.
      Any opinions on Massimo durability?
      Heard parts might hard to get. Is that true?
      What models are the best?
      If you had one and didn't like it what do you recommend?

      2013 UT 500 won't go into reverse.
      By lonerider98
      At the end of last year my Coleman UT 500 will not go into reverse. I can hold it over toward the reverse to move it nut it won't lock into reverse. Anyone have this problem? Winter is just about over and going to have to get this resolved. Thank You!

      2018 Hisun Sector Crew 1000 engine die after about 15 minutes run
      By Hugh
      My 2018 Hisun sector crew engine cut off after about 15 minutes run. There is no indicator of what is wrong, no error code just die and won't restart until it cool down. I notice that the fan is not running but the temp indicator is on low temp, no overheat indicator. I checked the radiator fluid, it is cool to touch.
      Cooling fans are working, I can hear it running once awhile if I can get the engine warm up enough.  Thank you for all the help.
