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?

the rear has no differential to slip or manual unlocking capability.. its direct drive to both rear wheels full time.. One tire must slip to turn sharply.. They both pull 100% of the time.. its hard to turn tight corners..   Dont drive  on your nice lawn.. Wifey will be pissed at the  horseshoe divets

      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,

      2018 Hisun Sector 1000 Crew stalling but starts right back up. Please help!
      By Jon Spruill
      Hey Guys, I have been chasing a stalling condition for about two weeks now. The bike will crank up and idle fine, then after about 20 seconds it will fall on its face and stall. It happens at both idle and while running at various rpms. You can turn the key off, turn it back on and it will fire right back up without trouble. I have verified spark on both cylinders with a spark tester. I have also added an inline fuel filter, and pulled the injectors to verify proper pulse on each. Things I have replaced - (relearn procedure performed after each component replaced): spark plugs, ECU, relay/fuse box, fuel pump, & throttle position sensor - all with no improvement of the condition. The only warning light I get when the condition occurs is the oil lamp. The bike only has 14 miles. I am at a loss and appreciate any help and suggestions! Thanks

      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.
