I recently bought a 2012 Bennche Bighorn 700x (Hisun 700 motor). It was worth the money, & was a "little rough around the edges," but I've been getting it fixed up (winch, tires, cv boots, etc). It ran fine, until recently on a trip with the family..... probably 15mph on a logging road, and it simply died. In diagnosing; it's getting fuel and spark, & I don't have a compression tester, yet. I removed the two round covers (timing chain/mark access) and rotate the motor by hand, which seems extremely easy.  When rotating the motor, the cam/timing chain does not move.

Broken timing chain, or could it be a key sheared off on the gear on the crank?

Since I expect this to be a relatively major teardown; what else would you recommend replacing while it's torn apart? Cylinder? Piston/rings?

Thanks in advance for any/all advice!

      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.

      hi everyone i have this 2021 Hisun forge 250 that won't start. no spark no fuel.   when i turn the key on i dont hear the relays click or fuel pump come on. it does have power but the relay doesnt ground the pump or the ignition coil. dont know if there are any safety switches on this model or not.  it does crank and all the accessories work. i  hot wired the pump and it does work.  i found a wiring diagram but it's very hard to figure out and was hoping someone has seen this before. all fuses are good. thanks in advance.

      I have had my E1 since late last summer and I have always noticed that the parking brake was weak or non existent. About a month or so after I purchased it I mentioned to the dealer that the parking brake did not function well. What I was expecting from the dealer, ' well bring it in and we will correct the issue.' What I got was the typical dealer response, "it may just need to be adjusted." No shit!  Well I finally decided to adjust it. A very simple process need only two 10mm wrenches.  Open the bed, remove the pin holding the bed  to the strut and move the bad out of the way. Right in front of the electric motor is a brake disk.  That is the parking brake. It has a small set of brake pads that are actuated by a lever attached to parking brake cable.  There are two 10 mm nuts on the shaft to moves the pads. Release the inner nut and hold it in place while screwing in the outer nut - that is really a bolt. After screwing it in about one turn, tighten the other nut.  Check the parking brake. If it is holding when activated, then you are good, but if not, then you may have to turn the bolt another turn. Do not turn to far or you will lock it up.

      Has anyone installed the magnum tuning chip? Is it worth it? Noticeable difference? I have a 2021 Axis 500.
