Specific problem is with the lug nuts coming off on trail rides. Purchased the RZR used and it came with spacers, mag wheels and what appears to be standard lug nuts that came with the spacers. The tires and wheels were upgraded from the standard 12" up to a 14" - guess the previous owner was looking for a bit more ground clearance.

Does anyone have a solution to keeping the lug nuts tight, long enough to do a trail ride? or Is there a special aftermarket stud and lug nut combination that is better suited for my application?

You are supposed to use the nuts that came with the spacers to secure them to the hub & there is a possibility that your stock nuts for the wheels are locking the spacers to the hub and vice versa. The torque setting should be 56 to 60ft lbs to the hub and the wheels to spacers. It sounds like you have the stock wheel nuts on the spacers. Try swapping them to see if that works.

Good Catch. You are correct - The original lug nuts were used to attach the spacer and the nuts that came with the spacer were used to attach the wheel. I will change them around and see what happens. Thank You for your response.

      Hi all, I own two Axis UTV's. Last year I purchased a 2022 Axis 500. I had a mechanical issue with the shifting forks after only 50 miles. I contacted Axis/Hisun warranty dept. That were very helpful and willing to send out a representative to see if it was a warranty issue that fell under coverage.  Since I live in an area that does not have authorized repair facility within 300 miles. A really nice guy drove all the way from West Virginia which was 4 hours away. He determined that the console would not stay seated in position and while driving it, the console would jump forward and knock it into the wrong gear causing the shift forks to become bent. It was then picked up a few weeks latter to be repaired in Richmond, Virginia. It should arrive home soon.
      Now to my question. After the 2022 Axis 500 was taken for repairs, I bought the 2024 550 Axis. I bought the first one to take my son who is disabled from an extremely rare disorder that requires daily care to get out of the house. There are two things that give him joy, music and going for rides.  That is why I purchased the first one, However because it had bucket seats and the engine was between the two and was too loud even though I deaden the sound and put a quiet muffler on it. 
      I then decided to purchase the Axis 550 for the great updated features and the bench seat, I will be buying the complete enclosure ad on's offered by Hisun. Since it does not come with a heater (Axis 750 does) I was wondering if anyone knows what heater is part of the 750 edition. There was a photo that showed a Firestorm brand, however I can not find what variation it is. If anyone knows what a Inferno heater would be correct for the Axis 550. I would like to install it this Winter to take Justin riding on the farm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Brent

      2002 ranger 500 4x4 stopped running and wouldn't restart. Service manual wiring diagram helped identify the hub safety switch as the culprit. Using jumper wires to bypass  switch allowed the engine to start and run normally. Inspection of switch showed melted epoxy and a strong smell of burnt electrical. Unable to find replacement part either used or new. Is there a work around other than jumper wiring?

      Just purchased a T-Boss 760 and before putting any miles on it I'm going over all the fluids, grease and problem areas that I've read about online because I know the factory quality control is garbage. 
      I've seen where everyone seems to have leaking axle seals after 2-300 miles on the T-Boss 550 and 760. I think I'm going to switch from the bellow-style diff breather to the automotive style diff breather that they use on my Tacoma and various other vehicles. I'll still keep it extended and infact run it even higher, probably into the air intake box, but I'm hoping this is what's causing the axle seal leak issue on these vehicles.  
      I'll do the modification and report back every couple hundred miles and let you know. I currently only have 8 miles, so it will be a few months before I find out if mine leaks like everyone elses.
