sound and heat insulationing for UTVs


Mackc

Recommended Posts

Well I'd also like to know what you guys in the engine compartment for sound deadening.  The 2013 cfmoto Uforce is murder on the ears.

I got some double sided foil heat shield with about 1/4 inch foam like middle off amazon. Haven't took time to install any of it yet. Have to install a snorkel for intake first. Since the intake is in the center console area. 

Once snorkel is installed to allow fresh air for the intake. Then install the heat shield and block that vent in center console. That will block a lot of the heat and hopefully some of the sound.

what are you trying to accomplish.........?..............keeping warm in winter?.....if so, you will need a heat source.......i use a 2200 peak watt portable genny in bed of mule, hooked up to a 1500 watt space heater..............works great......no additional insulation

I want the sound of the engine to be dulled in the cabin and the heat from the engine reduced in the cabin in summer.

our mule has windshield and complete cab enclosure......engine noise isn't an issue as i normally have "radio headphones" on (and engine is only single cylinder 400 cc).....as for less heat in summer, windows down and i have a 12 volt fan for air circulation.........as i mentioned before, i use portable genny and space heater for heat, plus use the fan directed toward windshield to keep "fogging" to a minimum while plowing snow..........i am not familiar with cfmoto u force, but i am sure you can "mcgyver" something..........

if you are getting that much heat from engine into passenger area, your engine may be running excessively hot.. Once I corrected my overheating problems, the passenger area is not so hot

mackc, do you have an enclosed cab?  is your muffler in good shape? are massimo's air cooled?.............these types of utv's are never gonna be "quiet" until the do away with gas and go electric............

cant wait to pull an electric 4 seater UTV out of the swamp because the batteries died .   ,,,,,. if its really loud, your exhaust may be cracked near the head.. common om Massimo

I also had a 3010 Mule and sound wasn't a problem, this problem  was concerning a Massimo Buck 400.

      I have a Massimo 400 Buck that overheats and the antifreeze blows out of the motor everywhere! I don’t have to be doing anything but just driving through the field.  It only has 26 miles on it.  I don’t think the fan is turning to cool the motor.  Any ideas how to fix this?

      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.

      I have the factory service manual available for the Buck 400. Just send me a message with your email and I'll get it to you. Although there is no charge for this, it would be great if  you would visit my website where you could donate any amount to help do things like this with others who need it. Again, there is no charge for this manual, and no obligation to donate. But if you did, I would thank you for sure. Have fun on the trails. www.warriorsoffroad.com
