Okay guys, this Vector 500 is killing me. Hisun 500cc engine (Chinese)  About a year ago while riding slowly, I heard a tink and UTV turned off and would not start.  Checked everything long story short, timing chain jumped off lower sprocket, slightly bent the cam sprocket phasers.  Bought new chain and cam sprocket, set everything back to timing position, mounted chain on lower shaft sprocket and upper cam sprocket.  Set the tensioner, cranked and poof, chain once again jumped off lower shaft sprocket.  Again, repeated proper timing settings, remounted chain, cranked and poof again and again and again, chain keeps jumping off lower sprocket.  Just to be clear, valves, piston and all components are look in great condition.   Can't see shaft sprocket but to the finger behind the tight squeeze, all sprockets seem to be in place, or maybe not.  Tired of fiddling with it. This was bought brand new at Home Depot and has less than 200 hrs in the past 3 years.  Don't tell me to warranty it as that expired one year in. Talked manufacture out of McKinney TX and service tech was no help.  My question to you, what am I missing? What next?

Dumbfounded 🤔

Unlikely that its bent.  The crankshaft is too narrow as you can see on pictures. The sprocket is pressed in and the hours are under 200. No reason for that to bend. Hisun suggested new tensioner and tensioner guides but even those look brand new.

Ever get anywhere with this? I’m having similar issue, engine jumped timing and won’t run. I can spin the cam, the timing chain turns, but the crankshaft doesn’t. I was actually able to screw around and get everything longed up again and got it to run for 10 seconds. Everything looks new, that I can see. Worried gear on crank issues. Only 4 years old and couple hundred hours on it. With it being a press fit, I’m thinking no way to replace with engine installed. Hope you got yours running again. Mines been down for a few months and momma wants it back running. Maybe I’ll just drop a 5.0 coyote in it. Lol

      2013 hisun 700 will not run, cranks fine
      By Mike Jenkins
      I have a 2013 Hisun with a 686 Yamaha engine.
      I purchased it from an individual and it ran fine as long as the battery was full.
      I replaced the stator and now it will not start (run).  It cranks fine, has fuel pressure, but will not fire up.  I replaced the coil, no luck there.
      a technician told me that it was the wrong stator and wants a mint to replace it.
      the wires all plugged in when I installed the stator.

      Glass Honda Talon windshield adapted to Hisun Sector
      By HighSon
      This mod is not for the fainthearted, as it requires some basic metal fabrication and welding skills.  But the result is worth the effort IMO.  I chose an aftermarket Honda Talon windshield based on economy, size, and construction (aluminum frame, DOT glass, folding, windshield).  It fits OK, a little narrow at the top, and you need to incorporate the lower section of the original acrylic windshield and build some additional plates, but better than being too wide.  If you are wondering why I attacked this mod, it's because mine is driven daily on the street.  Tired of fading, scratchy, hazy plastic.  Sucks in the rain; sucks at night.  Now I can see.

      Cheapest UTV?
      By klm
      If anyone is looking for the cheapest UTV, with dump bed, winch, roof and windshield, I just noticed that lowes has the axis 500/ hisun UTV on sale for 4500 (at least in my area) They are $4500. ($9000 original). I have one - they have some issues, but nothing catastrophic. My biggest complaint is that it is under powered. Also the winch failed. They are still selling an extended warranty - which I would take, just in case. My guess is lowes wants them gone.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      2018 Hisun Sector 1000 Crew stalling but starts right back up. Please help!
      By Jon Spruill
      Hey Guys, I have been chasing a stalling condition for about two weeks now. The bike will crank up and idle fine, then after about 20 seconds it will fall on its face and stall. It happens at both idle and while running at various rpms. You can turn the key off, turn it back on and it will fire right back up without trouble. I have verified spark on both cylinders with a spark tester. I have also added an inline fuel filter, and pulled the injectors to verify proper pulse on each. Things I have replaced - (relearn procedure performed after each component replaced): spark plugs, ECU, relay/fuse box, fuel pump, & throttle position sensor - all with no improvement of the condition. The only warning light I get when the condition occurs is the oil lamp. The bike only has 14 miles. I am at a loss and appreciate any help and suggestions! Thanks
