Recently, my unit Axis 500 (2020) will only go into reverse and neutral. I am not able to get high or low. The engine itself sounds fine and I do not have other issues on this unit. I change the engine oil but have not yet changed the gear oil.
Before this happened I occasionally encountered issue where going from reverse to high gear, it would grind some and i had to reposition to shift into high gear. I also for last couple weeks heard a squeaking sound. I couldn't tell what it was. Was looking for a grease point I missed.
The unit has around 70 hours and is kept in the garage.

Anyone else encounter this type of scenario? Any suggestions on troubleshooting would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you checked the cable adjustment.

When shifter is in neutral, is the neutral light lit on dash. And is the trans actually in neutral. 

Same question for reverse?

How far does the shifter move when trying to go from neutral to forward.

I'm sure you are pressing the brake when trying to shift into a forward gear.

My 550 is also difficult to shift but more often into reverse.  I find that hard on the brake sometimes will let it move easier into reverse.  These cable driven shifters are not exactly great that's for sure.  Is the idle set too high?  Might check that if it moves at all when you do get it into gear.

Thanks Greg, when in reverse, it does light up reverse on the dash. When in neutral it lights up as reverse on dash. When in high, it lights up as neutral. It seems like it might be going farther forward but I am not positive.

Yes, brake is applied when shifting. 

When I shifted to what should be high gear and it lighted up as neutral, and then, when I applied the gas, it was indeed in neutral and did not move. In reverse, the unit moves in reverse as expected.

Ok, so I have now tried adjusting the cable. I referenced this link for walk thru on how to adjust the cable, in case anyone else may find this useful.

First, I put it in what should be high gear - the dash registered nuetral.

After rotating cable counter clockwise the sensor activated and brought me back to reverse on dash light.

After rotating forward, it again activated the sensor and brought it back to neutral on the dash light.

I kept rotating and it never hit the sensor to bring it to high. I started to feel some resistance and did not want to keep going out of fear I would break something.

Anyone else encounter this, agree I should hold over turning the cable (meaning only as hard as hand turning it) and not use any tools such as a wrench?

I am now thinking it might be the gearshift fan causing the issue and am looking into this. I will post another update as I have more from that investigation.

There is an actual service manual for these machines on this site. Can't remember who posted, the name, or download link. But search the manual library and you can find it. Here are some diagrams.

(The items numbers are off according to the description on 261 and 262)

I didn't view the posted video. If it was me, after following the directions above to adjust the linkage and still was having issues.

I'd completely disconnect the adjustment rod. (Item 5 on page 261.) Then check item 7 and item 9 on page 261 to make sure item 7 is engaged cause it looks like item 7 has a oblong slot that fits around the shift lever 1 assembly circuled in red in red in bottom picture (cover removed). That actually shifts transmission. Item 9 is the nut that holds item 7 in place. Then see if the transmission will shift into a forward gear by moving item 7 by hand instead of the shift handle. If so, then reattach the shift rod and adjust accordingly. 

 

When I shift my 500 into low, I have to apply just a little throttle to make the transition. I probably need to adjust my shift rod as well. 

 

Hope this helps some or at least points you in the right direction to resolve your issue. I'll watch the link and repost if I think of something else. 

 

I'm not a mechanic,  so take the advice as someone that is just trying to help. Remember listen to me at your own risk.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

From what I could tell from the video. The guy just adjusted the shift rod, gear selector, and the indicator light to be lit for whatever gear the transmission was actually it. And not adjusting the actual transmission for the shifter. If that makes any sense. 

 

In other words he had the transmission shifted into high, then moved the shifter itself into high before loosening the shift rod to adjust the high lamp indicator to be lit. In doing so, he may have actually changed the position of the transmission into low or neutral.  If so, the transmission could have been in low, for example and the shifter and indicator light could have indicated high. Make sense? 

 

I'd still remove the shift rod, then make sure the transmission shift easily into low, high, neutral, and reverse. You may need to rock the machine forward and/or backward just a little. And make sure there is not a lot of slop/slack in between the positions. Then move the transmission into reverse (or low), then move the gear shift handle into reverse (or low), then eyeball and adjust the shift rod to fit into the location. Then adjust the rod length to make sure the correct directional indicator lamp is lit. Then move the selector into the other positions and adjust the rod as needed.

I haven't looked at mine and the diagram doesn't say. But I'd bet the shift indicator selector switch is located somewhere near the shift selector handle. Does any of this makes sense?

Also to find manuals and so on. At the very top of this site click on the 3 bars on the top right side. In the menu that appears, click on downloads. On the downloads screen, in the selector box there it says "category " select "Hisun".(or what manufacturer) Once the screen changes, select the manual(s) you wish.

Sounds like your shift linkage needs adjustment. After removing the console the linkage is on the right hand side slightly behind the shift lever. There are YouTube videos that help show how to properly adjust the linkage. Basically you need two wrenches. 1 to loosen jam nut and 1 to hold linkage from turning.

There is possibly is a damage fan gear. Again there are YouTube videos that help show how to repair and adjust.

Thanks Greg for all the notes. I'm going to give this a try and hopefully finish tomorrow. I also got the service manual. Thanks very much. I will post with an update when I finish, and let you all know how it goes. Fingers crossed.

Good news! Its fixed! Thanks Greg and others for all the comments. Really appreciate it.

No matter what I tried, I was not able to adjust the shift rod to enable it to cycle thru all the gears.
I removed the shift rod and opened the gear fan case. The issue turned out to be the fan gears being corroded. The pic shows the corrosion but it is hard to see how bad the teeth were.

I was able to get it fixed by replacing the gear fan and then adjusting the shift rod linkage.
This is a walkthru for replacing it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FABLVRLNHtY

      2018 Massimo 700 MSU. The machine started burning oil all of a sudden. One day fine-- next morning burning oil. Looking for advice. Do I pull the engine to inspect the top end or can it be done with the engine in place? Pro? Cons?
      Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated in advance.

      Decided to do an oil change on the Massimo ...drained oil, screen was very clean even tho oil wasn't.  Then went to remove old filter.. holy crap ..I tried every tool I have, could not budge it..Went to store and got one of the end cap type..fit nice and tight, put a 1/2 in drive ratchet on it..nope..not moving.  Put a 18 on breaker bar o. It. The inside of the removal tool broke off!!  Had to weld it back together. Put a pipe on the bar for more leverage.  Finally broke it loose..
      I have never seen a filter in my 55 yrs of working on engines so tight..And i was the one who put it on 2 yrs ago.  JUST HAND TIGHT!

      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?

      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.

      I have a 2013 Hisun with a 686 Yamaha engine.
      I purchased it from an individual and it ran fine as long as the battery was full.
      I replaced the stator and now it will not start (run).  It cranks fine, has fuel pressure, but will not fire up.  I replaced the coil, no luck there.
      a technician told me that it was the wrong stator and wants a mint to replace it.
      the wires all plugged in when I installed the stator.
