New to the forum and hope someone can help. My buck 250 gold cart is about 2 years old and recently it has this very loud cringe worthy knocking sound. Only when engaging the starter and also seems like the starter gets suck in the process a little. Once it fires up it sounds fine. I called Massimo about 30 times but no one answers any of their phone lines :( Any one have any idea what this loud knock noise is being caused by during the engaging of the starter? I uploaded a short YouTube video so you can hear it as well >> 

Thank you in advance for any help in diagnosing the issue.

typical of Massimo tech line.... NO ANSWER, NO CALL BACK... They are truly the worst company in the business .. And forget finding a shop to do warranty work............. I wish someone had told me before I bought one.   that sounds like a starter issue  to me . loose bolt, damaged gear  teeth, misaligned ..   check bolts, Remove the starter and check the teeth on drive gear

      Massimo Buck 400S UTV Stator......?
      By AaronD1982
      Next problem with charging system to tackle, any help would be appreciated.
      New starter solenoid....check
      New Voltage Regulator...check.
      Dynamic test to Stator.....bang...pulling like 2 Volts AC
      Problem: Without pulling the part out and stranding the vehicle at the shop forever.... I am trying to find the correct stator or at least one that might not be exact for the Massimo Buck 400S, but fit and connect and do the job if that makes sense.... if anyone has any ideas, please shoot them my way.

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.

      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      RTV 1140 Starter Relay
      By Garjess
      My rtv 1140 won't turn over.  I've jumped the neutral switch, and the brake switch, and checked the ignition switch. I'm not getting any power to the trigger wire on the starter solenoid.  It starts fine with the key on and putting power to the trigger wire on the solonoid.
      Does a 2010 RTV 1140 cpx have a starter relay? 
      Does anyone have a wiring diagram?

      I heard there's several off road festivals out that way. One or two post apocalyptic, the rest just rev and run. Anyone know a good one that offers camping? Any advice for out of state people like hauling, legality, and where to stay?
      Ideally me and the missus would be down for camping out and setting up shop somewhere nearby. That way we can just wake up, load up, and ride.

      Is Your HISUN Loud?
      By HISUN Sector 750 EPS Failu
      "Mrs. Smith" doesn't like how loud our Sector 750 is.  On a HISUN forum someone said the same thing about his 750.  I haven't given it much thought because I've been more focused on stuff that has broken.
      So, I used my decibel meter to check ours out.  4000 RPM, Low gear, under 20 MPH . . . . 97 decibels.  That's above most ordinances, even state boat noise limits.
      AI Overview Ninety-seven (97) decibels is considered very loud and dangerous to hearing with prolonged exposure, roughly equivalent to a newspaper press, a loud nightclub, or a snowmobile. At this level, damage can occur after just 30 minutes, necessitating hearing protection
