Massimo MSU 500 turning.


Recommended Posts

I have recently acquired a Massimo MSU 500.  When driving and taking a fairly sharp turn while giving it a little gas it tends to tear the grass out on the right rear.  It seems the rolling resistance is real high when turning.  It can be seen on gravel when turning as the rear wheels will dig in quite a bit if turning and give it a little gas to get it moving .  It definitely does not roll easily. Is this normal?  Is possible that the transfer case or the locks could be stuck.  The previous owner seemed to primarily use the UTV in 4x4 mode lock for plowing I believe.   the machine has very low miles something like 150 miles only.  

Second question.  I am doing some service on engine air cleaner.  the filter I have has a large  screw in the top of it that retains the foam covering.  Question is:  Is this screw removable?  any tricks?  Is it red lock tighted?   I have used a large screw driver and a lot of torque  but it does not budge.   Should I just stretch the foam over the foam capture rings for so I  can wash and clean?

      hello everyone, i just joined this forum to try my luck, few days ago i bought an old (dont know exactly), 2011/14 hi sun 500cc ""carburated"",  was not running at the time, but i fell was a good deal and decided it to bring it home to play with it, this is the issue, i bought and installed a new carb, and pump, i repositioned the battery location and upgraded to a "car batt", reconnected the fuel lines and started it, but it only runs with the choke ON, i checked the bowl, it does have fuel,but for some reason wont inject it to run, i came across a video that say that ""the body small tank had to be connected for the cart to run" (was deleted when bought), sure enough i got it to run sporadically , but the so called ""small body tank'' often runs out of fuel and wont refill itself , i had to couple times do it manually, so how does that small tank works ?..what does it do?..and why if  bypass it , the cart wont start?....any help?..thanks so much!!!

      I've been looking at various types of UTVs in the 400-700cc range. It seems that Massimo has a really good price point but I don't know much about their reliability and availability of parts. Been looking specifically at their T-Boss 550. I've heard the parts might be an issue because the network is smaller, but couldn't find much info from owners.
      Here are a few specific questions about them
      1. In your opinion, are the reliable? Specifically, have you hand any parts break that in your mind shouldn't have? 
      2. If you had one and got rid of it, what was the reason? 
      3. If you don't recommend Massimo, what would you recommend (even if it costs a little more)?
      4. How easy is it to find a place to service them? How easy is it to get parts if you want to service it yourself? 
      If you have any other advice, I would appreciate it. I'm also looking at the Hisun Sector 550.

      (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?

      Less than 40 miles can barely start. Dealer is working with Hisun on a number of other issues on this UTV. Can not get clear info on the meaning of these E codes this is getting. Anybody have some clear info for me?
