I have a 2005 RTV900. If I put it in 2WD  the motor just revs, if I step on the diff lock it runs fine. In 4WD it moves fine too. However it does seem to be down on power in uphill climbs in the 4WD setting. Any ideas? I was going to put it in the air on all corners and see what I’m getting. I’m suspecting that without the diff lock engaged I’m getting no rear drive, but with it engaged I’m only getting one rear wheel engaging. If that’s the case does it point to a bad axle in the rear?  Also with the 4WD engaged is the front a limited slip? It seems like only one side of the front end is rotating whether the other side is slipping or not.

I have a 2005 and I think there is a lever on the floor board you push to lock in both front wheels. I will have to look at mine.  I know there is a knob around the park brake you pull to lock in both rear wheels to pull cause I used it many times when I had the stock knobblies on it. I had to use 4wd lots of times with the stock tires out in the pasture. Just replaced them with some more aggressive tires and ain't had to use 4wd on it yet out in pastures.  How many hrs on yours? I imagine you have replaced the fluids and filters. Wife bought her a Mule Trans model about two yrs ago and I use it sometimes. We use to have a Mule 550 2wd back in 98 never had any problems with it other than just getting stuck. I on the list to get a Mule MX model probably be in around Feb or March 2022. I gonna change all the oils filters on the RTV 900  clean it up and put it up for sell shortly.. About 1800 hrs on it. Other than a battery just normal maintenace.

      2015 Massimo stalled and wont start. oil, new plug, getting gas verified. cranks but does not start
      By Tim n Deb
      Riding out today it acted like it ran out of gas,  stalled and died and would not start.   Towed back to house,  New  plug added this past month,  plenty of oil, getting plenty of gas, battery cranks good.   Trys to kick in and starts but doesnt.   Two days prior while sitting at a idle it died.  Added gas and it started did my ranch chores with it.  But just now it stalled out cranks but will not start.   Tried to find if fault codes came up on the clock like manual says but not sure I am doing that right.  Any and all help apprecated.  Thank you

      Has anyone installed the power dump on a Kioti K9? If so, does it eliminate the safety lock? Does it work well?
      Thanks for your input

      2013 hisun 700 will not run, cranks fine
      By Mike Jenkins
      I have a 2013 Hisun with a 686 Yamaha engine.
      I purchased it from an individual and it ran fine as long as the battery was full.
      I replaced the stator and now it will not start (run).  It cranks fine, has fuel pressure, but will not fire up.  I replaced the coil, no luck there.
      a technician told me that it was the wrong stator and wants a mint to replace it.
      the wires all plugged in when I installed the stator.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Any Kioti K9 2400 owners joining for class action?
      By Unhappy Kioti K9 Owner
      I own a K9 with 50hrs that has been in for repair more than once the farm.  Multitude of issues, trying to file lemon on it but interested in knowing if owners are organizing for a class action suit.  The dealer informs me there are “a lot of owners very unhappy with these”.
      Thanks
