I bought a "24" 550,my first impression was this thing is noisy,jerky,slow....But after 30 miles i changed the filter and oil to Mobil 1,immediate difference in engine noise,by the time i hit 40ish miles the belt had worn in and alot of the jerkyness stopped on takeoff,and running in low over bumps i was fighting the weak accelerator spring trying to hold steady rpm's so i put a stiffer spring 100% better and use only 93 octane it does not run well on 87.One problem with cabin noise is your sitting on the engine and its inside a big plastic hollow box that amplifies the sound,my next step is to add sound mat inside the box,So at 9k thats about right i paid almost 11k for mine new,bottom line is my father in law likes it over his honda pioneer 700,has more room and independent suspension,adjustable shocks,larger bed,with only 50miles on mine i cant say much on life of the machine but so far im liking it

Recently bought a Bighorn 550B at Tractor Supply. For the money it is equiped like far more expensive($5000-$6000 more) bigger name brands. Overall, I'm well pleased. However, I have noticed some slipping of the CVT belt. I'm hoping this will get better with time as I've only had it a few weeks. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi, when doe the belt slip? Not sure on the Big Horn, but if I'm not driving over 20 mph on my Bad Boy/Hisun I have to stay in low gear for the clutch to fully engage. Good luck with your Big Horn

My Hisun 550 (Coleman Outfitter stickers) does much better running in low gear.  I can get up to about 30mph without going deaf from engine noise and even that is 10mph more than I'd use around my property.

Like Randy said, and I agree, you'll have better full engagement in low and likely less wear as well.   I seldom use High anymore.

      2022 t-boss 760 oil filter
      By Aaron Colona
      Just bought a brand new 760 about a month ago. I'm at 20 hours which the book says is when you need to change the break in oil. 
       
      I must be crazy, but I can't find the oil filter. I've googled a million videos...everything seems to be 2019 or lower...and/or a 550.  They all show the filter easily seen by looking in past the rear passenger tire on the engine. There is absolutely nothing there on mine. 
       
      1.there seems to be very little info if you Google a 760, or anything Massimo newer than like 2019. 
       
      2. Does anyone have a current model year 760 that can answer my riddle for me?

      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.

      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!

      Any Kioti K9 2400 owners joining for class action?
      By Unhappy Kioti K9 Owner
      I own a K9 with 50hrs that has been in for repair more than once the farm.  Multitude of issues, trying to file lemon on it but interested in knowing if owners are organizing for a class action suit.  The dealer informs me there are “a lot of owners very unhappy with these”.
      Thanks
