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

      As I tried to do a conversion with the Yamaha 660 motor, I realized the 660 was never fuel injected so it would not work for the fuel injected hisun motor swap. But the good thing is the hisun 750 motor is a clone of the 660 Yamaha but with the components for the fuel injection (cam/crank position sensor). So that left me with a new rebuilt Yamaha 660 and still a broke 750 hisun motor. I took apart 750 think the timing chain had broke from all that I've heard about these motors. The chain was not broke, but just off cam and crank gears! The chain tensioner was at fault!  I've ordered Yamaha 660 replacement parts, chain, two exhaust valves (which got bent when chain came off while motor was spinning) and seals. The piston has 2 little nicks where it had hit valves but no damage otherwise. The head is being redone at the machine shop and I'll be putting it back together in the next couple of weeks. Also I finally tracked down a Service Manual with all the info on the 550/750 Challenger.

      Has anyone found a lift kit that fits an Axis 500? Mine is a 2021.

      I've had a Hisun Vector E1 for just a bit longer than is required for me to do some maintenance. While it's well-overdue, it only drives 1.5km a few times each week on a fairly decent gravel road (to the letterbox), and it has worked really well right from the get-go.
      Looking at the manual it states that I need to use SAE80 API GL-4 Hypoid Gear Oil for the Main gear Case, and SAE80 API GL-5 Hypoid Gear Oil for the Front gear Case - unfortunately i can't find either of those online here in Australia. Plenty of options that look close, but, as someone who has never driven any vehicle before, I want to use the right thing and it's a tad confusing.
      My question: Since there are no oils that are bang on SAE80 (they all seem to cover a range) would Liqui Moly Hypoid GL4 Gear Oil 80W-90  & Motorex Hypoid GL-5 Gear Oil 80W90 - be ok to use? (Or any other suggestions of what I might be able to purchase online in Australia) And would I have to drain out any existing oil from both gear cases?
      This is a whole new world for me and  being able to find exactly what is specified in the manual hasn't made this easy!

      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.
