Hi all, never have owned a UTV before. I was looking at a small Honda 500 UTV but when I went to the dealership, they had a ton of Hisun 550 Strikes & Sectors. Started doing some research on Hisun and it sounds like a decent starter utv. I will be doing some light trail riding and mostly street riding. 

What should i be looking for and is Hisun that good of a brand? CFMOTO's seem similar to Hisun's too.  

Strike 550 was $8,500 new. 

 

Thanks!

just from the problems with HiSun on this forum only, i'd stay away from Anything HiSun.... CF moto,  (massimo now made by*Linahi* so they may be better) and Benneche are all made by hisun if i remember right.

Go with the Honda, you'll be glad you did, if their 500 is anything like their other products,.

Actually, the Massimo's are now made by Linhai.  Although the grill on my TBoss550 says Massimo, there are Linhai stamped parts everywhere else.  But agree with Travis, alot of Hisun owners reporting problems here.

Buy something with good factory support. The forum is packed with people who have difficult mechanical issues, with these cheaper UTVs. Problems that would be much easier to solve, if the factory only had provided a decent level of customer support. 

Buy once, and cry once. Buy a cheap UTV, and it'll be everything it needs to be, until it breaks down. Then you may  have real problems.

      AXIS 500 WILL NOT START. HELP!
      By Frank Mac67
      My Axis 500 has been operating properly for almost a year with Zero problems. While I was away my granddaughter & friends were riding & playing in the snow. They went to the gas station to fill the tank & the vehicle would not start afterwards. I BEEN GIVING MULTIPLE STORIES: The ATV will not start. When I turn the key I can hear the fuel pump come on but nothing happens other than that. 
      - NO CLICK - NO OTHER NOISE
      *I CHECKED THE BATTERY 12.43volts
      *I replaced the solenoid inside the battery compartment. 
      Seems the next electrical component in line has battery connections IN & motor connections OUT with 2 other small wires connectedaswell(I do not know the name of this component).
      Can anyone help?
      I can not find an ordered list of electronic components starting at the battery.
      Can anyone help with this?
      Thanks in advance for any help.

      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!

      BMS UTV sluggish acceleration issues/ final gear oil maintenance concerns
      By bms stallion owner
      hello, my BMS Stallion 600 is having accleration issues. the manual fails to show final gear oil diagrams very well... I have the owners manual and suspect issue is associated to transmission , I want to check the level of the gearoil. I located a drain plug (but not the fill plug nor dipstick). It will run - but wont exceede 2mph. Troubleshooting suggestions or comprehensive manual suggestions? Thanks

      Coleman (or Hisun) Parts and Service experiences.
      By Alien10
      Maybe members can post where they have obtained parts and service for their Hisun produced UTVs and ATVs, including the Coleman lines.  Maybe post the model you have, what you bought,  and how the products were quality wise.  Also if you had any shop service done, where (city & state) and how it worked out for you.

      2021 Axis 500 Head Bolt Torque specs
      By Greg Kilgore
      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.
