When wheels lock (usually the rear), the locked wheels usually break loose from the pavement, and will want to go faster over the road than the non-locked wheels. If they are the rear wheels that go faster over the road, your UTV will go sideways. If you slow down and/or steer poorly, you will get a moment (a torque) that may tip you over--especially if the UTV is top-heavy. I guess I'm getting confirmation bias to continue not to wear a helmet, especially when riding in my wooded 8 acres to collect downed trees and/or cut undergrowth, dead trees, etc.

Yeah. I struggle with how you lock it up and roll over? Maybe if the front axle is locked in? Also seems like the belt would be the weak link and shear. Dunno. 🤷

My Coleman Outfitter (Hisun) 550 also had no grease in any of the greaseable fittings. Looks like assembled with the parts as is, and shipped for sale. Best to go over almost everything just to be sure.

It’s best to do a good inspection on all nuts bolts and areas needing lube. Make sure everything actually functions like they should. My front axle had trouble engaging and eventually completely stopped working. New parts are on their way to fix that. It helps to be mechanically inclined on these things. Don’t know if the more expensive rides are better built, and trouble free but like you I’m enjoying mine.
