    wow... looks like the diesel washed the oil off and thats the result? I am shocked the cylinder walls dont look like that too..
  2. Joe Breaux
    same thing it always does everytime I use it... same thing Massimo is world famous for....IT OVERHEATS … Dropped it off this morning.. I ll let you know what they find
  3. Joe Breaux
    well, theres no joy in MUDDVILLE tonight..it took about 5 miles on the trail , and BAMM .. we are back to square one... I am just disgusted with this pile of crap
  4. Joe Breaux
    any progress? have you tested fuel pressure/ The diesel may have damaged pump seal or filter material...

    Waterpump appeared to work before but was weak after new head install.. Did it cause the head problem? who knows? EVERYTHING is replaced now.. Got it back this morning.. drove it for about 40 minutes around my yard, but that's only 2 acres.. did not run hot. RAN PERFECTLY! has more zip , maybe it was losing compression. .. NOW, with the fan running 100% , the engine seems much cooler and way less heat from behind seats .. . Tomorrow I ll go to my camp at Whiskey Bay on Sherburne Refuge.. I ll put it to the test there, got about 15 miles of trails to ride for UTV ,ATVs …. HOPEFULLY I can get another 300 miles out of it … Any progress on yours? I would check pump and bypass fan switch.. Good Luck

    we[l, shop called, parts came in, installed running good, but now waterpump took a crap.. so here we go again
  7. Joe Breaux
    well, when we get both fixed, maybe can go riding together .. for about 30 minutes till they break again ..lol ….Its really sad, it runs great for 20 -30 minutes.. then overheats and will not cool down .. also we have bypassed the temp switch on radiator to make fan run continuously now when key is on .... maybe that will help some by keeping the temps down all the time .. You might consider it too
  8. Joe Breaux
    no, the shop doing the work ordered it.. I just called him, he says he got shipping confirmation finally... be here in 3 days... maybe .. any luck resolving your overheating problem yet?
  9. Joe Breaux
    still waiting on parts …. talked to 2 other shops, both now refuse to even work on Massimo products because parts take so long and if its warrenty, 4 months to get paid is ridiculous .. they wont touch one anymore .. its just sad … Talked to an ATV /UTV engine Rebuider , he says he thinks one of his rebuilt Rhino engine would work on it , if not, he would let me return it.. So if this pattern continues, RHINO here I come
  10. Joe Breaux
    lol that's an UNDERSTATEMENT.. everything about mAssimo is pathetic.. I wish someone had told me before I spent $8K on one.. the worst company I have ever seen ..
  11. Joe Breaux
    the shop ordered a complete new Cylinder Head assembly .. Was promised to be there last Tuesday.. still waiting .. At this rate, it may never see 400 miles
  12. Joe Breaux
    well, still waiting on those high quality HISUN parts.. must be on that slow boat from China everyone talks about..
  13. Joe Breaux
    Hopefully the previous owner got all the problems worked out before you bought it.. .. enjoy it ..When mine actually runs, its fun to drive.. problem has been ,its in 20 minute increments, then back to the shop.. now I m waiting on a new Cylinder head to replace the cracked one mine has ..
  14. Joe Breaux
    take your pick...factory defect, poor quality material, multiple episodes of overheating [ altho I never ran it after hot light came on] .. inadequate cooling system to begin with. Engine runs way too hot from factory settings.. ALL OF THE ABOVE? .. and now we know why Massimo dumped HISUN motors.. I wish I could find a reasonably priced, quality rebuilt or new old stock Yamaha Rhino engine to replace it..
  15. Joe Breaux
    update.. more misery from this disaster called Massimo with only 300 miles on it..... Not head gasket.. CRACKED HEAD .. more money down this bottomless pit .. waiting for new head now
  16. Joe Breaux
    mine as well as several others I have talked to , are plagued with constant overheating issues, resulting in blown headgaskets… and clutch/trans issues .. Massimo admitted to me in email that these 500 and 700 HISUN engines were not good and they discontinued them, went to another Chinese Company for engines .. But refuse to help any of us that were dumb enough to buy them.. I bought mine in 2018 new.. its been in shop 5 times , only has 300 miles.. I hope you have better luck. ….oh, and its in the shop right now.... HEAD GASKET
  17. Joe Breaux
    Welcome to the site.. I truly hope you do not have the never-ending problems that so many are having with these Massimo machines..
  18. Joe Breaux
    So, I talked to the shop owner today, he says it will be ready next week. Should be Ok , no water got in the oil .. FOR NOW at least. He also recommended bypassing Temp switch on radiator for cooling fan.. he said it comes on at 210* and goes off at 190* which means the engine is near 220* all the time.. The fan will now run when engine is on, keeping the temps down 20-40 degrees lower. Maybe head gaskets will survive longer? Who knows....It sure has been a disappointment owning this thing... anyone know if a YAMAHA Rhino motor will interchange with the Hisun junk motor? Or where I could buy a new or remanufactured Rhino Engine? Its supposed to be a copy of a Rhino
  19. Joe Breaux
    I did threaten legal action since it broke the first time on its very first day.. They laughed and said I wouldn't be the first! .. apparently they don't really care about their customers or their reputation. All I want is for it to work properly but it seems the HISUN motors 500 and 750 are incapable of that... Anyone know if a Yamaha engine will work on these ? I m told Hisun copied the Rhino motor.. will it bolt up? and where would I get one?
  20. Joe Breaux
    thanks for the reply... I am just disgusted by the whole mess.. BTW this is the response I recently got from MASSIMO MOTOR SPORTS home office... The business stated:
  21. Joe Breaux
    I put a negative complaint on Dallas BBB . heres . Massimos response ……….."Mr. B&*(* , You are correct we did end our contract with HiSUN because of engine problems. We ended that relationship in 2018 and have not looked back sense. I am sorry if you have had an issue with our customer service department in the past...… " ..................................................................yet they will do absolutely nothing to help those of us that got shafted with Hisun motors
  22. Joe Breaux
    haven't gotten it back yet.. hopefully I can get another 300 miles before it breaks again.. I called local Honda dealer about trade in.. nope … I ll let you know how it goes next week.. waiting on parts to come in .. new gasket, new bolts
  23. Joe Breaux
    after the experiences I have had with Massimo I would STEER CLEAR of anything they sell.. and forget any warrenty..its non-existent .. and Tractor Supply will laugh in your face
  24. Joe Breaux
    UPDATE.. brought it to a shop.. Head gasket is leaking causing air in coolant, vapor locking system.. Shop says headbolts were not even torqued .. poor quality gasket.. MASSIMO refuses to even talk to me even tho it has overheated repeatedly since the very first mile I drove it and I called then that day. .. has been in 4 shops, ALL AT MY EXPENSE!!! Massimo has refused to do anything since day one.. It had only a cup of coolant in it from Tractor Supply when NEW .. Tractor Supply said ...NOT OUR PROBLEM... it currently has 300 miles on it.. has overheated since day one.. Massimo would never repair it. WARNING..DONT BUY MASSIMO .. EVER
  25. Joe Breaux
    STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING FROM MASSIMO ..trust me on this , or you will regret it
