 I can not figure this out. I can get the same speed in high or low range. Rpm in high is 4500 in low range it is 7000. same speed. I use it on my small farm but some time I will go to the river to fish or visit friends several miles away. I am not a kid trying to tear things up I am a 70 yo disabled Vietnam Vet. I would just be happy at 30mph. I sent e-mail to factory but never got a response. My local service dealer is closed over this viris scare. Any help would be welcome.

You might try changing the oil. They have a wet clutch and require API SG oil.  Mine did way better when I changed mine.  I used Castrol Motorcycle oil as it was the only one I could find out here with the SG. I'm 70 years old as well.

I did change oil, no change. It is hitting the rev limit when in gets to 23, no slipping of clutch it will pull a hill with no problem just will not go any faster than 23.

Took it out today put a few more miles on it when I got to 75 miles it did better, now I can get 24mph before the rev limit .

23 mph seems low.  My MSU 500 does 38 mph ... on the days that it actually runs .. Oh btw, dont bother calling Massimo... they rarely answer, never call back if you leave message, and if they do, they know nothing and wont help you in any way

I'm sure there's a limiter. I've had my mule on a robust downhill plunge. Got er up to a whopping 40 mph. Got a little scary, because this thing drives like a tractor. It's probably limited for a good reason.

Hey............I too have about 50 miles or so but have had the Buck for about 10 months.....just did my first oil change today.  I get 27 to 30 mph in low and 40 mph or so in high.  I've only tried high a couple of times (bc of breakin period) so I suspect it will go faster.

Richard, I'm betting you have the wrong ecu in your machine.  Call Massimo and  they will send you the right one.  Where the law limits slow moving vehicles to 25 mph is where the ecu you have is used.

Massimo does not answer emails or phone calls. and never return phone messages.. They got your monery, they could not care less what problems you have.. They arethe worst company I have ever seen. Try ordering the part online from others

Update after oil change (crazy that there is no oil filter).  Yesterday in low with my wife (I'm 235 lb and she's 130 lb) - 27 mph at 8000 rpm (started to hesitate consistently at this speed and rpm); 45 mph in high around 5500 - 6000 rpm.

I got my Buck 400 up to seventy -five MPH yesterday, I slowed down to 55 MPH because  I was afraid the top was gonna come off and I was on a Farm to Market road.

Yeah It was on a trailer behind my old Chevy pickup!

      2016 Cub Cadet 500 runs rough
      By CapnWalleye
      Just picked up a Cub Cadet 500 that had shift issues (corroded fan gear) which I fixed. It also didn't seem to be running smoothly then all of a sudden it got worse. It seems to miss on both idle and when pushing the gas pedal to the floor and doesn't seem to be running at full power. I've been working with a local person who is walking me through some steps, but I'd like some input from this group as well. What I've done:
      - drained the fuel tank and replaced it with 93 octane fuel and added heet to help with any water problems.
      - replaced the fuel injector.
      - disconnected the battery (several times) to allow the module to reset.
      - set the valve clearance, both intake and exhaust, within specs ... intake was tight but exhaust seemed fine.
      - replaced the battery.
      - replaced the O2 sensor.
      Nothing has helped. Not sure what the next steps are, but would appreciate any expertise that can be offered here.

      Code Reader for Delphi MT05 Coleman UTV 400 Hisun
      By Homeowner A
      Is there a code reader available for the Coleman UTV 400?  I tried using the HUD ECU Hacker software and cables/adapters but no luck OBD to delphi 6 pin and KKL VAG as well as ELM327.  Will not connect.  I was able to get it to connect randomly a couple of times, but haven't been able to since.  I was able to clear and read the codes briefly.  I'm aware of the Tiny Scan 301 but it doesn't seem to be readily available.  There's a few out there but they are expensive.

      Want a new work UTV; who and what should I look for?
      By FTG-05
      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!

      Can’t figure out what part I’m missing
      By Grant
      I recently bought an axis 500 and it’s missing a box or something the plug is L shaped I’ve looked through the wiring diagrams and still can’t figure it out. The plug is located right near the battery housing
