Thanks!  The wife uses it alot so thinking the temp monitor is not a bad idea.  I did the same on my snowmobiles and has been great.  You can watch the temp start to creap up so you can take action before you run into an issue.  I dont hqve a voltmeter either so will add that at same time.

good news.. these are fun when they run..   Mine seems to be cured of the dreaded Massimo  overheat disease  now.. running great .. It took awhile though... Im thinking  the Yamaha gasket and ful time fan  is the key to long term success.  Enjoy yours now..

Well all seems good.  She is running fine and no temp issues.  My sughestion to all Hisen engine owners is to check the head bolt torque and make sure it is with specs.  My mechanic found mine were not and caused the head gasket to blow.  Now to figure out how to quiet here down which is my only complaint since day 1.

Have exactly the same issue. Is the thermostat by the water pump? I haven't tore into it yet, but looks like it is gonna be a real pain to do. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I bought this 2017 Massimo MSU500 new and it is the first issue.

I can tell you it IS NOT THE THERMOSTAT ..its the head gasket leaking into coolant, causing steam, and then blocking waterflow on top of the head .. You have no flow at radiator right? radiator cold when engine is hot?  right?  Its the HEAD GASKET...

Can someone please share the part number for the correct Yamaha head gasket that was used.

I would bet its a head gasket failure.. Check your oil for coolant . It will look like chocolate milk .   This is a plague on Massimo engines.. Mine had a cracked head  too.. fill the radiator , put cap back on, run the engine and watch for air bubbles in the recovery bottle as it heats up

20200514_181113.thumb.jpg.305df5917de05fc37b9ba159dccaedf8.jpgHey Joe I had the exact same problem with my 750.  Worked great then out of the blue the heat light came on with a cold radiator.  After alot of research and troubleshooting I found their is a bleeder screw on the housing on the driver side of engine on the hose housing and a second one down at the waterpump at the back of engine.  I bleed the top one and 0 water.  I went to the lower one(which is a nightmare to see and bled it and then went back to the top one and bam it now works great.  As you are doing it you have to keep radiator full.  My reserve was full the whole time but the trapped air didnt allow it to move.  I included a pic I took with my cell as that was the only was to see it.  The bleeder is the bottom right of flange.

Can you please put an arrow on where you are saying the bleed screw is. Thank you

cant really see in your pic.. its been a few years, but I believe it was above and rearward of pump housing.. it looks like a regular 10mm bolt   just run the engine and slightly unscrew it, the air will be forced out.. there is another on top of head at water neck. do both several times to evacuate all air

I know this is an older thread/conversation... but does anyone have the source or part numbers for a 500 head, Thermostat, water pump, and the Yamaha gasket yall talked about?  I have the same machine, exact same symptoms, and need to do the same repair.  Bought it second hand.  It anyone has the carb replacement source and part, that would be great as well.  Thanks in advance for all of your insight and advice shared.  It helped a bunch.

      Got a 2021 Axis 500.
      I'm needing the head bolt torque specs.
      Manual states 38nm.
      But saw a video Hisun put out on YT for a 550 stating 50nm + 45° turn of wrench. Didn't think they would be that much difference on a 500 and a 550.
      Seen another YT video on a 2013 500. He did 38nm.
      Really only want to do this job once and done. And done correct.
      Anybody got the answer?
      Going to start this rebuild in a few once this weather brakes. Flooding and then snow and cold here now. But spring is around the corner and the wife has to have this fixed or a Honda pioneer may be parked in driveway soon. She has to be able to ride.

      I just purchased a 2024 Bad Boy Bandit 750 but the owners manual is somewhat confusing , does anyone know what kind of oil I should use ? Manual say something about wet brake oil which I am totally unfamiliar with ! Any help will be greatly appreciated !

      Have a Coleman UTV 400 that cranks, runs, drives well until it gets warm and is put under load.  Light throttle or full throttle it doesn't bog, but it will cut out mid throttle if you move the pedal quicker than it seems to like for example when you're getting ready to go up a hill, but if you immediately floor it, it will do just fine and not cut out.  It's random if and when it's going to do it, but is consistent in that it happens only when hot/full operating temperature.  I've replaced the injector twice, same with the spark plug and tried different heat ranges (NGK 7,8 and 8 iridium), replaced the fuel pump, adjusted the valves, checked air filter which is like new, changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter.  No check engine light.  I don't have a code reader for this.  Initially I thought it might have a head or head gasket issue as when I got it, the oil was over full, very runny like water milky and it was smoking.  I've changed the oil since then twice to clear and clean everything out, and it seems to be good.  Coolant stays the same level and so does oil with no changes in consistency or need for adding more. Had I think 7-9 miles when I got it and now has about 77.  What should I try or consider next?

      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.
