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.

      2016 Hisun 500 runs rough no power
      By CapnWalleye
      Just picked up a Hisun 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.

      2015 MSU-500 crank - no start
      By Prepper
      I'm working with a 2015 MSU-500.  Basic symptoms are it cranks well, but will not fire.  It has spark, and it has fuel spraying out of the injector (and spraying starting fluid into the throttle body and plug hole makes no difference).  It has compression.  I bought it not running, and no other information was available.  It has 775 miles on it and 127 hours.  It looks to be in very good shape.   Previous owner replaced fuel pump, ECU, coil, plug, and the fuse/relay box that mounts on the firewall, then gave up.
      My questions relate to cam/valve timing, considering the symptoms and diagnostics so far.  My thinking was the woodruff key sheared off and the crank spun, making it out of time.  My question is, by the pictures attached does anyone have an opinion as to the cam/valve timing being correct?  In the crankshaft picture you can see a timing mark visible.  In the camshaft picture I have arrows directed towards what I think are timing marks (which appear to be exactly 180 degrees from one another).  However, the long arrow in what appears to be bolt configuration in line with the piston/rod line.  Here is a puzzling note... in the position you see in the pictures... I have valve lash on both the intake and exhaust.  I think it's at TDC, given the visible crank timing mark and valve lash on both valves. 
      Any thoughts ?  Does this appear to be in proper valve time ?  Have I missed anything simple ?  Thanks in advance for your input.
