Decided to do an oil change on the Massimo ...drained oil, screen was very clean even tho oil wasn't. Then went to remove old filter.. holy crap ..I tried every tool I have, could not budge it..Went to store and got one of the end cap type..fit nice and tight, put a 1/2 in drive ratchet on it..nope..not moving. Put a 18 on breaker bar o. It. The inside of the removal tool broke off!! Had to weld it back together. Put a pipe on the bar for more leverage. Finally broke it loose.. I have never seen a filter in my 55 yrs of working on engines so tight..And i was the one who put it on 2 yrs ago. JUST HAND TIGHT!

I suggested Honda. But CF MOTO also makes quality stuff..I have a C FORCE ATV .Great machine ..Don't buy anything HISUN OR MASSIMO or anything at Lowes, Home Depot or Tractor supply.. you will regret it..

It's a bblast..trust me. 😁

Sorry guys. She loves this car..I think she would give up me before it..It is incredible. Z51 Perf pkg Magnetic Air ride 4 suspension modes from tour to track...mid engine ..dual tone exhaust modes..front auto lift for obstacles.6 cameras, 14 speaker BOSE sounds. All in Carbon Flash color. With white Napa leather int. ..194mph top spd.. 10 sec 1/4 .

I use CASTROL ACTEVO .Wet clutch approved 10w40. Have used it for years in all my ATVS ..Never fried a clutch yet. Buy it by the big jug at Wallyworld. I did see a guy put STP in his Honda once..clutch began slipping in hours .

Yep...blew the kids inheritance !! Fug it...you only live once...and. boy is that car living!! 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds! Woo hoo!😝

Ii agree..that's some great help he provided.

Well,honestly ,I can't say squat...I just bought a $109,000.00 STINGRAY

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

Even Kubota has its problem units..I know a guy who's unhappy with his Maserati..😯

You , my friend, are one of the lucky few ..Most of us Massimo/Hisun owners have suffered the chronic issues with no support from Massimo whatsoever..Mine is now. Reliable ....but it took some effort and $$$$..

We eliminated the thermostat and according to Hisun back when we were pulling our hair out with overheating, their rep told us they stopped using thermostats and relied on electric fan to control warm up. 5 years now mine has none. At all.....it works here..but we don't have snow and below zero temps to deal with. Takes a little longer to warm up but has never overheated again.

I sure wish you had been around back when I was fighting with mine .I was at the mercy of the only mechanic in my state that would work on these..He was good but slow as paint drying. I learned a lot from him and have managed to keep mine going since. Glad to see you taking the time to help this guy.. We need more members like you.. Thanks from all of us dumbazzes that bought Massimo/ Hisun

Sounds like my Massimo...it was in the shop so much , it was like they owned it and I was just borrowing for a weekend..But Massimo never paid the warranty claims..not one.

Hondas seem to be the most reliable..if you want it for working, I would look at Hondas

Well??? What did you do

Got me..if it was running rich it should smoke black.and it shouldn't smell like sulphur..if it has exhaust pressure there no restrictions. Good fuel...I'm out of ideas. Pull the spark plug..if it's wet or black it's flooding. Should be a dry tan color

Any oil leakage?

Cats don't work like that..what kind of fuel are you using? Old ? Any additive in it? Like octane booster? Should you be running premium? Put you hand behind outlet, feel pressure? If it's weak, there may be a blockage. Any smoke on start ?

Going out of business? Sounds suspicious .That's a big rebate..read details carefully

Usually when they. Stick, it's closed and stays closed

Since it's designed to go thru mud and water, I can't see how you can hurt it .Just don't spray into the air filter box.I pressure was my UTV and Atvs after each use to prevent corrosion

There should be oil pressure there to trigger the light so I don't see why you can't tap that for mechanical style gauge

Make sure your cooling fans is working
