New UTV owner, but not new to motorcycles, worked as Suzuki mechanic in H/S and college, as well as raced a lot of amature MX.  So I am not uncomfortable around engines.  That said, wife decided to get me a UTV for Xmas, and the local Tractor Supply had one that fit the bill, so we took it home.  We only have 10 acres, so I intend to use it putting around the place,  etc.  Been running premium with some Sea Foam in the gas.  Only have 4 hours on it, but so far there are 3 things that are driving me nuts:  1) vibration when taking off, almost feels like loose motor mounts.  I suspect this might be the CVT,  maybe belt break in, and may be just the way they are.?  2) stalls when stopping.  So far it seems to do it mostly when it has not been run for a few min, or after a long stretch down the driveway and stopping quickly.  I put a new stock plug in it, that seemed to help.  I have a couple of Irridium plugs on the way.  3) Tailgate rattle.  I hate noises and rattles.  And as rough as it is when it takes off, it really rattles the tail gate or box.  I have tried to isolate any and all components, but so far have not been 100% successful in identifying it.     TIA

I bought one last april. You will have go over every nut, bolt,  etc to make sure they are tight. grease all available fittings. Also front and rear diffs were low on fluid. Make sure you follow breakin period.  might be missing rubber bumpers for box. mine runs great, haven't had any issues other than that noise on initial takeoff. I have 70 miles on it. it does run better with time, make sure you use 91 octane in it.

Had mine 25 hrs, piston rings broke caused engine failure, in shop waiting for new engine.  Still under one year warranty!

When failure started I found fouled spark plugs, very dirty looking, then changed to new plugs, but failure soon followed.

      Hey everyone,
      I’m in the market for a UTV windshield that can withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, dust, and off-road impacts.
      I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m unsure which one will provide the best protection and durability.
      Does anyone have experience with windshields that excel in these environments? Are there specific brands or materials you recommend?
      I’m particularly interested in options that offer both durability and clarity.
      Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      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
