Renegade R4 Losing Power going uphill


MJG

Recommended Posts

I have an 08 Joyner Renegade R4.  This weekend we tried to climb a slightly steep hill but we kept losing power about 2/3 of the way up.   I am not sure if we simply don’t have enough power in the r4 or it was something else causing it.  
 

i would think it would have enough power to climb as a friend of mine has a Can Am 800 and made it easily, while we kept losing power. Any idea as to what this problem could be?

How slightly up hill is it?  Your 800cc engine in the R4 might not be enough engine if all the seats are occupied by adults..  That's probably why Joyner went to the 1100cc engine in 2014.  How is performance on level roads?  Check spark plug gap.  Check plug wires.  My car's plug wires were bad causing me to lose power going up hills.  High voltage was arcing to grounb causing misfires and losing power.

      Hello, 
      I found an 08 Renegade for sale and looking to purchase it.  I haven’t heard too much about these machines and any insight would be much appreciated.  Are they good machines?

      Going down a 20 deg hill engine is holding UTV back. Then something releases like going into Neutral and makes a loud clacking noise. Have to use brake to slow UTV down. Then once level it shifts back into gear. Have done shift extension does not pop out of gear.

      Don’t waste your time everybody with rpm motorsports, Omaha. They are people that don’t even work on sxs’s. Trying to tell you how to install things.
      Completely uneducated guy tried to tell me I did not install a mid pipe correctly when it won’t install correctly; that was the reason for the video and the complaint that I called him about.
      This mid pipe has a 1 inch gap at the rear, and the only way to close it up is with a longer bolt, and to stretch the flex at the Exhaust
      After one ride, the rear bolts have disappeared, because how much tension there is on the flex
      And the bolts does not line up at the flange
      Have a video before and after. And they are telling me that it’s my fault because it does not fit
      wtf.!
      What kind of idiotic people are even answering the phones these days.?
      This guy has probably only read a book and never even driven a motorcycle in his life
      Don’t waste your time with this bullshit products
