This was the solution

I was reading through an old thread about the woes of the risky ownership of Hisun UTVs. Well, OK. So we all own some problematic machines. But I’ll say this. I’ve owned bicycles, automobiles, snowmobiles, PWCs, boats motorcycles, class 8 trucks, airplanes and a crapload of heavy equipment. Nothing I’ve owned and operated hasn’t broken or needed maintenance. The difference between all those prior items and my Hisun, I feel, is the support (or lack of)from the factory and dealership. That’s where this and other forums come in. We’re all we have! Well, us and YouTube. Oddly enough though, with help I’ve received from YouTube and you guys,I’m actually starting to enjoy crawling through this machine, and screw the factory/dealer. I’ll make this vehicle what they didn’t. And have fun doing it.

7 month Update... I've been cutting trails through my woods over the last month or so. The trails are kind of rough and tight, go up and down hills and through mud and swamps, ravines etc. I have to say that my 2021 Axis 500 is really fun to ride. It just jeep crawls over and through everything in 4wd low though I can use it in 2 wd high is more fun to just crawl through everything. Up to riding on my own trails its been on some fairly wide state trails, two tracks and dirt roads. It's pretty fun riding on tight rough and steep trails. I am impressed how well it does. Also been using it to haul stuff around the property like building supplies for my deer blinds, seed, fertilizer for my food plots. Not to mention hauling the deer back to the cabin. .It's a work horse.

I removed the oil drain plug from the bottom of engine. Then took the rubber hose off the metal hose that runs to the top of oil cooler in front of radiator. Then took a cheap 12V air compressor. The $10 kind that from the dollar general that plugs into 12V car cigarette lighter port. And the adapter that is used to air up a beach ball. To push out the old oil from the cooler. Once the oil is gone you can hear the gurgles from the drain hole. Don't really have to worry about any kind of air bubbles in the cooler. The oil pump will take care of that when running. Just reattach everything and fill to oil level, run engine checking for leaks, turn off and let sit for 5 minutes or so, check oil level again and add as needed. Suppose to check oil before every start anyway. And any air in cooler can escape into the crankcase.

Dark outside not dark exhaust. No steam today other than the initial condensation that occurs when any engine starts and warms up. Going to change the oil again to try and get all the old garbage oil out.

I bought a "24" 550,my first impression was this thing is noisy,jerky,slow....But after 30 miles i changed the filter and oil to Mobil 1,immediate difference in engine noise,by the time i hit 40ish miles the belt had worn in and alot of the jerkyness stopped on takeoff,and running in low over bumps i was fighting the weak accelerator spring trying to hold steady rpm's so i put a stiffer spring 100% better and use only 93 octane it does not run well on 87.One problem with cabin noise is your sitting on the engine and its inside a big plastic hollow box that amplifies the sound,my next step is to add sound mat inside the box,So at 9k thats about right i paid almost 11k for mine new,bottom line is my father in law likes it over his honda pioneer 700,has more room and independent suspension,adjustable shocks,larger bed,with only 50miles on mine i cant say much on life of the machine but so far im liking it

Sounds like the contractor who assembles for your local Lowes had several to do at the same time. If it was a recent purchase, talk to Lowes and inform them that you have a mis matched tire and need it replaced.

I bought an Intimidator gc1k and i live in NM. I am in dire need of a dealer that can sale me parts for the 1000cc TGB motor. Can someone please send me info that sales parts?

You might check the coolant level and its condition as well.

All Balls CV Boot Kit......sold by MOTOSPORTS on line. Need model and year for the correct boot kit. I don't know if the 6 finger spreader tool is still available. Seen some cone type spreaders also (manual). You also need a banding tool to tighten the 2 ribbon band on both ends of the boot. CONTACT 866-667-6288

Has anyone researched the Kandi that Lowes is handling. Pro's or Con's?

Neither definately. I would like to leave it open for a few more days to see if someone else pipes up.

Txdoc and JB I realized they had problems a couple of years ag`o. Wondering if that cleared up or not. Was looking at one and it looked very attractive.

I am very skeptical of anything from Lowes or Tractor Supply...Most have issues right away and very little Mfr support if any at all.

You have a blown head gasket

Should be easy to track the leak...wash everything and then run it.

If you noticed my picture, that is our shie tzu that absolutely loves to ride and drive the two seat version that i am normally in.

Guys, Thank you so much for taking the time to help out a fellow trooper. I have a two seat trooper that runs great and has had no problems. I bought this one for spare parts and found out that it had 288 miles on it. Figured it would make a great family buggy for somebody that doesn't have the budget for the name brand units. Once I get it running I will look for somebody that fits that mold.

If you can't clean the injectors, then don't limit your search to Joyner only engines. John Deere and KawasakI and other lesser known brands use the 3-cyl version of your SQR472 engine. But you might end up buying 6 injectors They might be sold in packs of 3) if you can't buy them individually to get the four you need. You'll just have two spares.

On the schematic I'm looking at (which may or may not apply to our Trooper), the injectors get battery voltage from the main relay through a 15 amp fuse and a relay. The main relay is energized by the ignition switch in the run & start positions. The injectors get a short duration pluse that might show on an LED circuit tester. Incandescent lights can't react fast enough. But will appear on an oscilloscope (that many may not have available). If you can find a way to see that pulse, it will tell you if the injetors should be working. If the pulse is there, the injectors are bad.

Thanks for the welcome, I can't believe how the shifter locks up I talked to Justin Krep about it and he said that's the way they are being cable and not linkage I asked him about adjustments and he said there is none I feel there has to be a reason why and a solution somewhere.

You will need to locate and fix the source of the oil leak or you will be going through belts quickly. Sorry you are having an issue like this at 300 hours.

Unless you own or have regular access to wide open country, those "rockets" are a waste of money. Like many, if you need a machine to do work around the property, speed is your last concern. So Scott is spot on. I too have an off shore UTV, a Hisun 550 (Coleman Outfitter stickered). About 90 hours of hauling firewood, pulling down dead trees, fetching rounds out of the forested hillsides and hauling dirt, mulch and cut tree limbs and bush in the bed. It's a little on the "crude" side as far as operation and engine, but so far has been "OK". I operate in low range 100% and it is plenty of speed. Only thing so far is that the E-brake has failed. I think the caliper is froze up as there is plenty of pad left. Just haven't gotten into it yet. Overall, its just OK, not excellent. You might consider upping the budget as suggested by Joe B, and get a bit more quality build. However a lot of features are options on the big name brands. Personally, I'm not excited about buying used. Just too much unknowns there on this type of equipment. Just a few opinions here. Good luck in your search and purchase.

As I tried to do a conversion with the Yamaha 660 motor, I realized the 660 was never fuel injected so it would not work for the fuel injected hisun motor swap. But the good thing is the hisun 750 motor is a clone of the 660 Yamaha but with the components for the fuel injection (cam/crank position sensor). So that left me with a new rebuilt Yamaha 660 and still a broke 750 hisun motor. I took apart 750 think the timing chain had broke from all that I've heard about these motors. The chain was not broke, but just off cam and crank gears! The chain tensioner was at fault! I've ordered Yamaha 660 replacement parts, chain, two exhaust valves (which got bent when chain came off while motor was spinning) and seals. The piston has 2 little nicks where it had hit valves but no damage otherwise. The head is being redone at the machine shop and I'll be putting it back together in the next couple of weeks. Also I finally tracked down a Service Manual with all the info on the 550/750 Challenger.

I bought generic cover from Amazon that was designed for SXS UTV's. It has tie down anchors and straps. I used it for 2 winters and it worked well. I subsequently found space in my machinery shed for it.

I went to look at a cf Moto and the guy that worked there said that off the record he wouldn't recommend getting it because of complaints. After further inspection of the warrior we found that the rubber mount bushings had a lot of play and the coil overs were adjusted almost to the top.. After two tries I was finally able to get the right CV axle. Now I have to try to find some good rubber mount bushings. It also feels like the belt got wet so the clutch is a little sketchy. Fortunately I should be able to do the upgrades myself. I appreciate your reply. I'm always willing to get assistance in finding answers.

That’s what I was hoping it would be. All I need, many thanks my friend !!

Hisun Junk, how about a follow-up? What happened with your machine? I'm in essentially the same boat and am trying to decide what to do next.

I have owned mine for a couple years now but newer took off road. How well does it do trail riding m?

I have a Massimo 500..It does well in the mud..I can't stay with the high dollar machines on flat land but it will stay with any of them in the slop.

It was the check engine light on and in the book it is called Mil Light. The guys help me solve the problem, how to get the code and read it, the code was 0031 and that is the o2, it was bad replace it and all is good. Massamo 560 tboss 2023.

Most lift kits are simply brackets that move the shocks mounts. 1-2" Up from a arm or down from lower mount, maybe you could fabricate something. Regardless I don't recommend running bigger tires, they take away too much horsepower, that's not there to loose...

Amen brother!

I get it right now and then ...glad you got it to work.A cold wife is a grumpy wife..lol😂

Well, wife and I went for a ride the other day. She got a little chilly. I stopped and threw the valves so the heater core was open and the bypass was off. About 5 minutes later. The temp idiot light came on but the gauge showed it wasn't over heating. So I quickly pulled over. Turned off heater core and turned the bypass back on. Less than a minute the temp light went off. Tried again and same thing. So I left the heater core off and bypass on and came on to the house. Then today was checking a few things out. And remembered what Joe Breaux said about the bleed screw at the top of cylinder head. Sure enough there was air there. After burping the thing a few times while running with bypass off and heater core on. It idled fine not over heating. Putting out good heat for about an hour or so. Turned off for 30ish minutes. Started back up. Within 5 minutes the temp idiot back on. A few revs and it went off. So I'm guessing there's more air around the gooseneck for the head. Guess I'm going the have to let it run, then burp, then off, let cool, burp, run to operating temp, burp, cool, repeat. Until I get no air.

Better save your money for repairs not accessories.

WB I was hoping you would respond. It was definitely gas infused and slightly over full. Took the carb off and changed the float and needle valve. Reworked the fuel solenoid. I have it running pretty well now but was having the issue with the blow back.

Cue Joe Breaux answer. I agree with Joe.

Absolutely. Just a little here and a little there. And work the problem (if) when they appear.

Glad to hear your machine is doing good for you. Enjoy and just keep the dirty side down.

it was used on an acreage for fence line by older couple.but thats not saying they maintained it;

Yup. Ditto.

problem is the air blocks the water passage on top of the head.. you gotta bleed it there and mine has bleed at waterpump. some air was trapped there too.. If air is in it, water will not circulate and it will overheat fast.

Machine is fixed and running normally.

I bought a 2" adapter tube from Amazon and now I just slide my Reese hitch into the adapter.

Thanks for the info.

Picked up an essentially new 2022 UT400 with 9 miles on it. Decided to change the oil because it's probably never been done. Pulled the dipstick and noticed it was overfull then went and pulled the drain plug and took off the filter and it was like brown water running out. What should I start checking?

Found a NEW 2022 Bighorn 550 DX for $9K. Any opinions on this machine????

How and why?

Today I intended to try to figure out how to disconnect the EPS, and see if it would operate without power steering, but, instead, the EPS was working. I drove it apprehensively for about 15 minutes, both hands firmly on the steering wheel, and it never jerked to the left. But I don't think I can ever drive it without the fear of it doing that. I certainly won't drive it with speed. BTW, I'm seeing what appears to be that EPS system on Amazon for $1190-ish.
