Anyone have problems with stock batteries on your joyner? Mine was dead after I left the buggy parked and the master switch off (no power) for 5 weeks. Before then, I had the rad/fan fusebox meltdown, which heated up the starter fuse connection. Had trouble starting it and nearly killed the battery.

Got a new 450 amp battery, hankook, but the little 'eye' was black, like every other eye on hankook batteries here. It didn't have enough juice to start the thing either. It's charging now.

Starting the thing jumping it from a truck. Should I be worried of something bigger, or is it just the batteries?

I use the Optima battery. I'm a strong beleiver that the typical flat plate battery doesn't take the jaring of off road riding well. The flate plates can vibrate causing early failure. The Optima battery uses a round coiled plate design which stays ridgid when the battery gets jarred around. I'm getting 8 years of service from the optima batteries in my Dodge diesel. I use the Optima marine battery for my Trooper which gives me lots of surplus cranking power should I run into a hard startingf problem when out in the middle of no where,

Yea, to get a bigger battery in there just cut out the welded in battery hold down with a grinder. They you can put in a size 24 plastic battery box and just use the strap they usually have with them to hold the lid on. I use an Optima like Lenny and have had no issues.

      2020 T-Boss 410 running problems
      By downseast
      Hi everyone
      Recently purchased a 2020 T-Boss 410 in what appears to be good condition
      First time with this machine – I also have a diesel Kawasaki Mule which so far seems a better machine
      It didn’t start and idle well particularly from cold when I got it and sudden take off ( now solved with new clutch parts ) was all or nothing !
      I have replaced the idle valve, throttle position sensor, had the injector professionally checked ( ok) and also the pressure sensor this is a fuel injection engine, also plug and lead etc!
      It still doesn’t run well and when starting I have to hold revs for a while as it wont idle but stall, thereafter its better and I have rebooted the ecu which has improved it
      When I go to start it clicks as if there is a hydraulic lock and wont return after two or three attempts it then does turn over and start bit I need to give it a bit of throttle to start – is this normal ?
      Is there adjustment for the air idle valve ?
      The engine seems rough and with vibration compared to other engines I have been used to but some say this is normal?
      I haven’t changed the Lambda sensor yet, anyone know how much difference this might make ( I have a new Bosch universal to fit )
      Any advice very much appreciated, thanks

      Which UTV?
      By The Road Hound
      Hi, 
      New to the forum. 
      Came here looking for some experienced UTV users who can enlighten me about which brand should I pick for my very first UTV or SXS. 
      I'm between 3 brands and 3 models: 
      *Kawasaki MULE PRO-FXR   1000.
      *Yamaha wolverine rmax2. 
      *Can am Commander XTP. 
      The use I'm willing to give it is mostly to go to the range with my wife, load steel targets and all our shooting gear, we shoot a lot, rifles, Shotguns and Handguns for practice, training and competition. (Range is about 10 miles from home) 
      But also I want something that I can take to the trails and have fun on dirt, mud, rocks, puddles or creeks. 
      Any objective information will be appreciated, specially which is more reliable and durable. 
      Thank you and happy 4th of July.

      Joyner R2 2008 800cc ECM code reader Lite or OBD port install
      By staind
      Looking for information on installing a OBD port or a lite to read codes in ECM. 
      I can not find a OBD port or a lite to read codes on this R2 with 800cc. 
      I have code readers and adapters for most ATV's. From what I've found so far. They don't have a connection for to read codes. I may be wrong. That's why I'm asking. 
      This R2 has had new IAC, TPS, MAP, fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump replaced. This was done by neighbor to try to stop surging. It still surges on start up and then settles down. But once you hit the accelerator it revs up to 2000+ rpm and stays till you block off IAC port in throttle body with finger. Once you do that it once again settles down and idles perfectly.
      I want to know what the ECM is reading to help dio it.
      This joyner is the first one I've run across. Well second one in a week. (my neighbors 2 of them) The other was a trooper with the 1100cc chery motor that had been setting for years. After cleaning up the fuse box connections. It runs like a top. Had to replace all gages with aftermarket gages. Water, oil, gas, amp. Only problem one was the water temp using original sending unit. Had to install 150 ohm resistor on the input wire to get it to read correctly + - 5 degrees. Close enough. Gas sending unit was/is for a boat tank 6" tall. All SS so it should last forever.

      Adding Power Steering To Sector 550?
      By Cletus
      I have a 2016 550, ive tryed the hisun website and seems i cant get parts there. I would like to add power steering, have seen a few "kits" on ebay
      for the 750 not sure if its the same parts needed for the 550, there is a factory bracket already welded to the frame above the standard steering rack, is this to be used
      to mount the eps motor? There is also a grey plug hanging just above the brake master cylinder, not sure if thats anything that needs to be used in the install.
      Handy with wrenches so if i can find the parts installing it shouldnt be a problem, anyone done this upgrade, was it worth it?
