Like the rest of us Massimo owners, get used to disappointment. Sorry

Hope you have plenty cash..what you describe will be very expensive for a weekend toy

stay away from anything you buy at home depot, lowes, etc............get a name brand.........kawasaki, honda, polaris etc.............all that hisun kind of stuff might work, but i have heard getting service is a nightmare..........i have a 4x4 mule, but it is a workhorse, doesn't have what you are looking for......i will tell you this, i never see anything on here related to the mules..........

Hey Kevin + Shelbie, I suggest formatting the UBS drive. Then create 1 folder and put all your tracks in the folder. Preferably in mp3 format. Then try again. What media player are you using?

So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort. Not sure what make/model to even look at. I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked. I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum. Thoughts?

That is a bummer. Nothing like that for me. It gets cold here at 6900 ft, and I've never had an instance of the issues like you mention. My driveway has a significant hill (50 ft rise over 300 ft) and we power up it no problem with a full load of slash (on the big bed, piled high) and two people. I'd reach out to Landmaster directly to see if they have ideas.

Hey Team, our issue is not as bad as some I've read here... We put some songs one a 64GB USB stick, plugged it in and the USB icon is still greyed out and won't let you select. Any suggestions? All the songs are in the root directory. Thanks, Kevin & Shelbie

It sounds like the rev limiter is kicking in over 5000 rpms. Check to see what the manual shows is the max rpms. That would be my guess.

So this is the second winter in a row that my AMP untamed shuts down on me while climbing our mountain. It only does it on cold days (below 25) in Alabama. I've had issues with power since day one climbing hills, an occasional problem between reverse/forward where the gears seem not to fully transition and of course the dealer can't replicate any of these on flat ground. The unit shuts down immediately, will turn back on in a few seconds but you still have to turn the selector knob back to neutral and then forward for it to go. After it does that a few times, it shuts down completely - i have to turn everthing off then back on. I might travel 10-20 yards between shut downs. Is anyone experiencing this? Seems like I might have a lemon

I'm thinking the gear senser needs adjusting, maybe it thinks its in reverse and the rev limiter kicks in.

When I am driving at 30 to 40 mph on the highway, the display will change from H (high) to R (reverse). It does not actually shift into reverse, it seems to shift into neutral and starts losing speed and the gas pedal has no effect. After the rpm/speed drops for 5 seconds or so, it changes back to H and runs fine for another minute or so. You have to try to drive it at less than 5000 rpm or so, to try and keep this from happening. Any ideas on what the problem might be? It only happens at the higher speeds.

That's a concerning list. The transmission issues are my biggest concern. I'll check with my dealer and see if they are seeing issues.

I bought mine March 2024, since then it has had the following: stuck throttle leaking windshield A/C failure broken CV joint brakes that won’t compress well enough, won’t hold stop on a slope emergency brake constantly needing to be adjusted and tightened roll up windows falling off tracks in the doors plastic rivets pop loose and fall out radiator leak transmission won’t disengage out of gear transmission bearing replacement metal shavings in transmission and oil the dealer tells me I’m not the only one with some or all the same issues.

I own a 2024 K9 with 43 hours on it. I haven't had any issues at all except for a loose hose clamp causing an antifreeze leak. Can you advise what type of issues you are having? My only consistent complaint is the loudness of the engine noise inside the cab.

Mine had a small plastic sock kinda thing on the end of a tube. It was all clogged and broken down. Maybe some are different.

Thanks. I tested compression which is over 100. Since my most recent post I've also looked at the fuel system and wondering if there's something that is affecting fuel flow. I pulled the lines and blew them out but could not find a filter. Also, I wonder if I made a mistake when adjusting the valves. Intake was tight but exhaust was still good. After doing it, though, I fear I didn't have it at TDC. I couldn't find the marks so spun it around to just after the exhaust opened and closed but before intake opened and closed. TDC is on the compression stroke if I remember correctly (I'm not a mechanic, just a guy who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty) which would be between intake opening but before exhaust, right?

Thanks for this. I pulled the pump but cannot find a filter or screen. I didn't want to disassemble it without knowing more. I'll look at installing an inline filter ... good idea.

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

Hey UTV Board stie Admins: The board needs to award Ben1098 the UTV Board "Medal of Honor". !! 👍👍👍

Just a thought here...how is compression? Too tight exhaust can burn a seat and leave you with poor compression.

Yeah, I was going to fab something until I realized that the valve cover on my motor barely comes off due to the shift cable plate on the gearbox. I have no room left. Even if I did, the belt would have to be custom.

I have a 2021 Massimo MXU 1000. Last winter the front drive shaft sheared off inside the motor and it was cheaper to buy a new motor than to take it apart in order to remove the front drive shaft that was broken inside the case… Now it is running rich, seems to maybe be geared too high, does not accelerate well once you hit about 28mph. I’ve replaced the O2 sensor. MAF is next (I accidentally ordered the wrong one, but when I removed the old one you can clearly smell fuel). I’m not a motorhead but I can turn a wrench. Any ideas how to get this motor optimized? The motor has about 300 miles on it. I broke it in as recommended in the manual.

Only thing I can think of that you haven't already done is look at the fuel pump. There is a filter on it but you have to pull the pump to look at it. If that is the problem consider installing an inline filter before the pump.

Greetings All, I'm looking for the most effective way to quiet the noise inside the cab. The cab virtually sits atop the 24hp diesel engine. It's very loud and so I'm looking for ways to make inside the cab quieter.

Well, it appears all it needed was some time. After several attempts, it started to idle just fine. After reassuring myself that it appeared to be running well, I took it out on the road for some "run" time. It was sluggish to get rolling (like the belt wasn't gripping) but after a few miles it got much better. I think it had been sitting for quite a while and things just needed to break in a little. After several miles both the engine and drive train seems to function normally (at least what I would expect). The only thing that concerns me at this point is the high-end engine RPM. Does anyone know what kind of max- RPM's I could/should expect from the engine? Right now it seems to start bogging down in the over 4k range (sometimes it will get to 4200). Not sure where the ECM starts clipping the RPM's at. The ECM I purchased at Motorcycle Doctor was the "enhanced tune" unit that is supposed to allow for another 500-RPM's. Is 4k all I can expect from the engine ? Additionally, occasionally, the engine hesitates a little from a complete stop, but quickly picks up and takes off. That may work itself out with some more miles on it. But all in all... things are looking promising at this point. It appears the ECM (the WRONG ECM) was the main issue from the beginning. I suspect when the original owner bought the new ECM, and that didn't work to get the engine running again... he threw his hands up and quit. Little did he know that either he ordered the wrong ECM, or, the company simply pulled and shipped the wrong one.
