I have a 2018 Massimo Buck 400 with 278 miles. 
Having issues with my brakes. Took the buggy hunting and when I let my foot off the gas pedal it pulls without pressing on the brake. I looked and the pads on all 4 wheels are all toast. The E-Brake hasn’t been on since I have had it. I am guessing it may be a master cylinder issue because all 4 pads are gone. They all seem to have worn evenly that’s why I think the master cylinder. Just got the machine used from a older couple and they said it sat for some time in there pole barn. Possibly the brake lines? Calipers? I took one brake apart and when I depressed the caliper it didn’t stay. Any help is muck appreciated.

Would that ruin the calipers or the whole system? I’m going to bleed the whole system and replace all the pads. It’s almost like there is no fluid release when the pedal isn’t being pressed. I only broke down one caliper. Also where can I find the parts? If you know. I looked on parts boss but that really sucks. Also I have to look up parts for a bennech cowboy 400.

I wish I could help you more. I have never touched the brakes on my Buck 400. I have a little experience with brakes, in general. I would try compressing the calipers with a c clamp. Fill the brake fluid and then carefully depress the pedal and see if it moves and if it leaks. Perhaps the calipers are ok.

If it sat outside the disc's might have rusted badly and ate the pads when you began using it..maybe

Bleed and refill fluid. Take one caliper off at a time. Mark level in brake fluid reservoir, compress caliper and check fluid level. Should rise a little. Make sure you use the proper fluid for your vehicle. Use only what is specified. Master cylinder failure is rare but does happen. Your Massimo is a Hisun. Look on Amazon. Tons of stuff there. Also, make sure you lube your caliper pins and your pads to prevent squealing. There is a special lube for it, but I have used never seize as well. E-brake is pretty similar to the service brakes, just cable operated. You change the pads in a similar fashion. Check online for how you adjust it if you don’t have a manual

      2022 Sector 750 EPS starting issues
      By GunnersTacklebox
      Hi All,
      New here, but bought a 2022 Sector 750 brand new last march (old stock up here in Canada)
      It's a good bike so far, but I have noticed a quirk and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue?
       
      The issue I've had is if I leave the utv parked on any incline, not even a major incline, and leave it to sit for a while (day or two) it will not start properly. It will turn over and not fire until I press the gas pedal, when it will run and rev up, but if I let off the gas it will die. It will keep doing this until I either start it in gear and drive it for a bit or leave it in neutral and roll it down the hill to flatter ground. where it will have to sit for a while. 
      If I park it on a decline there is no issue. fuel is not low, it's occurred a couple times now. 
       
      Any thoughts on the cause of this? Dealership just says bring it in and let them take a look, at my expense of course.

      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

      2021 Massimo MXU 1000 Runs Rich
      By ToughLuck
      I have a 2021 Massimo MXU 1000.  Last winter the front drive shaft sheared off inside the motor and it was cheaper to buy a new motor than to take it apart in order to remove the front drive shaft that was broken inside the case…
      Now it is running rich, seems to maybe be geared too high, does not accelerate well once you hit about 28mph.  I’ve replaced the O2 sensor.  MAF is next (I accidentally ordered the wrong one, but when I removed the old one you can clearly smell fuel).  
       I’m not a motorhead but I can turn a wrench.  Any ideas how to get this motor optimized?  The motor has about 300 miles on it.  I broke it in as recommended in the manual.
