2018 Hisun Strike 550 Backfires on deceleration

I'M STILL GETTING BACKFIRE UPON DECELERATION: 2 days ago, Strike was very sluggish, wouldn't make it up a hill. It is EFI with under 200 hrs. Yesterday, I replaced the plug with same exact I took out (NGK-R DR8EA), as it was covered in black soot. I cleaned the MAF with MAF Sensor Cleaner - not sure if I ripped one of the 2 o'rings pullling it out of it it was like that but either way, when I put it back in, it was seriously tight so I don't think that's affecting anything. I cleaned some of the throttle body (without removing it and without touching the flap), with Throttle Body Cleaner - it was kind of dusty. I cleaned the air filter which I replaced just 3 months ago when I did the oil change. All connections seem to be good. I could not find any exhaust leak anywhere. It got dark on me but I took it for a spin last night after putting it all back together and it seems to have it's power back but it's still backfiring when I decelerate quickly. Anybody have a clue what's next or had this issue before? TIA.

There's no MAF it's a MAP/intake air temp (pressure as opposed to flow) sensor. I would replace that torn up o-ring and lightly lube them with silicone grease (avoid regular petroleum based grease as it can cause the rubber to swell)

Since you've already replaced the plug and checked the air filter, have you ever checked the valve lash? I would start there. If the valve lash is in spec I would check the injector next, it may be partially plugged.

It's also possible you have a sensor feeding bad info into the ECU which would effect fuel mapping, like the sensor noted above, but aside from fixing the orings that will be harder to track down.

Thanks for the info! Just ordered the o'rings, new fuel injector and inline filter. Will check the valve lash and then put these in this weekend and see which one does the trick. Fingers crossed! Thx again!

Decel pop is usually a result of unburnt fuel in chamber.

Your air fuel ratio is off

Or an air leak in the exhaust system.  But that would not create lost power and dirty spark plug.

Check your valve clearence i bet its off.

I am going to do that but I'll have to look at how to as this is the first UTV I've owned. Bought it used and now wish I would have just spent the money on a new one. Anyway, here's where I'm at with this since I've been out of pocket for so long due to surgery on my arm.  I've changed the spark plug and it ran better but it's still doing it and running poorly. So, I went ahead and ordered an O-ring set to fix the MAP as recommended above and I've ordered a new fuel injector.  My arm should be recovered in about a week so that I can do the work. I'll do the MAP, Fuel Injector and then check the valve clearance and update everyone then. I wish this darn thing wasn't so hard to get into and work on. If you're not familiar with this model, it includes removal of both seats and the entire console - pain in the rear. Thanks a million for the advice. If you have any links or info on how to check the valve clearance, it'd be much appreciated!

Update with the final fix. New Spark Plug installed but it still backfired. New Fuel Injector and new MAP installed - Problem solved. Had to do both at the same time b/c the unit is so hard to get in to.  If I were a guessing man, since I was able to start it up and rev it after installing the fuel injector, that was more than likely the problem but I installed a new MAP anyway. The old fuel injector was pretty ugly / dirty.  Hope this helps and thanks to all who chimed in.

      Recently, my unit Axis 500 (2020) will only go into reverse and neutral. I am not able to get high or low. The engine itself sounds fine and I do not have other issues on this unit. I change the engine oil but have not yet changed the gear oil.
      Before this happened I occasionally encountered issue where going from reverse to high gear, it would grind some and i had to reposition to shift into high gear. I also for last couple weeks heard a squeaking sound. I couldn't tell what it was. Was looking for a grease point I missed.
      The unit has around 70 hours and is kept in the garage.
      Anyone else encounter this type of scenario? Any suggestions on troubleshooting would be appreciated. Thanks.

      Hello, I have a 2013 500 utv hisun. Was running ok and cut out while parked. Bike will not start now. It turns over, but won't fire. I have no spark and no fuel. I replaced fuel pump, ignition coil, spark plug, cdi, voltage rectifier and all the fuses and relays. Could bad stater cause no fuel because I can't hear the fuel pump priming. Any info on where to start looking for problem.

      So I've got a 2022 Axis 500 UTV with only 50 miles on the odometer. It seems to have a strange grinding/squeeling noise coming from the clutch when decelerating or going down hill at lower speeds. Did some research, and found out this is apparently a fairly common thing. Alot of sources suggest the one way bearing is responsible. I'm hearing about quite a few horror stories about these bearings going bad on practically new machines, and when they replace the bearing it goes bad again shortly after.
      Has anyone come up with a solid fix for this? I've read it may be possible to run the UTV without the bearing at all, is that true? Are the $20 replacement bearings from eBay and Amazon complete garbage, and is there a better one way bearing out there that's built stronger? Is there something else causing this bearing to wear out faster, or is the stock bearing complete junk?
      Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance!

      Quick question about replacing the plug.  One of the prongs pulled out, so I'm thinking it will be an easy fix to connect the old cord with a new plug but I'm unsure about the specs.  15amp 125v?  Is it more complicated than that?  I do plan to buy a plug that's water tight.
      Thanks in advance!
