We purchased this UTV less than 60 days ago and now I am having issues with drained battery. Used UTV for about an hour then stopped and when I went to start back up my battery was to low to start it. Jumped it and it started right up and ran fine back home. Tested charging and it’s not charging while running. Can it be anything other than the stater??? Can I look for something that I can fix Quik or does it have to go to the authorized service center to stay under warranty? It will take some time to get it in and out of service

Could be the voltage regulator.  Its job is to change the AC current from the stator to DC, and regulate it between 12 and 15 volts output as needed at different amperages as needed.

This machine should still be under warranty.

So can test the power going into the voltage regulator to verify that it’s not putting out the right power, and if so where is it cuz I’m not seeing what I think it should look like?

I can't help with that problem, but, I've had the same machine since April.  Did my first oil change with a filter I ordered from the Motorcycle Doctor.  Worked great but figured there had to be one I could get locally.  Checked the other day and found water in my oil.  Drained it but didn't change the filter.  I cleared up quite a bit so I changed it again and did the filter also.  Found that a Purolator L14215 oil filter from Tractor Supply fits perfectly.  

I think the water is condensation  in  the motor from not letting it warm up enough.  The water bottle and radiator hasn't lost any fluid at all.  Too many short trips and not letting it get hot enough.

Good luck on your problem and don't forget to let us know what you find.  I've had mine attached to a battery tender junior since it got cold here.

Hi Terry, 

I have a axis 700 that is doing the same thing.  Runs great, charges while running, but when it sits for any length of time it drains the battery.   Did you ever find what is draining your battery?

Thanks,

Ron

Joe, do you have a volt meter?

What is the voltage on the battery with the machine off? How about with the engine running?

They do have a small parasitic draw just like almost every other vehicle, and the battery will drain over time. With any toy that isn't used frequently you should hook up a battery tender or small solar panel, or unhook the battery when not in use so it will work when you want it to.

I am having electrical problems with our 2022 AXIS 500 UTV. We have less than 500 miles all was well, then all of a sudden the 10 amp fuse that operates the directional lights, brake lights, ignition and taillights. I have replaced it once but only lasted a day. I'm wondering if anyone else had the same issue. The nearest service center is over 100 miles away.

The link above is the schematic for your UTV. You can see that on that 10 amp fuse you have brakes, lights, turn signals, winch, speed limit fuse, parking drive alarm. Any one of these could have a short to ground caused by either a bad device or a nick in a wire during assembly. I would start using an ohm meter on the fuse to ground with power off and then do some wiggling of wires until you get a low ohm short.

      Coleman UT400 - 6v or 12v battery?
      By Rainman
      I want to put a charger/maintainer for my Coleman UT400 for the winter and need to know if it uses a 6v or 12v battery.
      One search online showed a 6v, but another stated 12v..
      I can look at the battery, but after taking the seat out you cannot see the top of the battery without also removing the top plate under the seat and at 8 degrees outside, I'd rather not be out there too long.
      Can anyone verify what volt (6 or 12) the batter is?
      Thanks in advance ...

      Heater used in 2024 Axis 750 (Firestorm?)
      By Brent C
      Hi all, I own two Axis UTV's. Last year I purchased a 2022 Axis 500. I had a mechanical issue with the shifting forks after only 50 miles. I contacted Axis/Hisun warranty dept. That were very helpful and willing to send out a representative to see if it was a warranty issue that fell under coverage.  Since I live in an area that does not have authorized repair facility within 300 miles. A really nice guy drove all the way from West Virginia which was 4 hours away. He determined that the console would not stay seated in position and while driving it, the console would jump forward and knock it into the wrong gear causing the shift forks to become bent. It was then picked up a few weeks latter to be repaired in Richmond, Virginia. It should arrive home soon.
      Now to my question. After the 2022 Axis 500 was taken for repairs, I bought the 2024 550 Axis. I bought the first one to take my son who is disabled from an extremely rare disorder that requires daily care to get out of the house. There are two things that give him joy, music and going for rides.  That is why I purchased the first one, However because it had bucket seats and the engine was between the two and was too loud even though I deaden the sound and put a quiet muffler on it. 
      I then decided to purchase the Axis 550 for the great updated features and the bench seat, I will be buying the complete enclosure ad on's offered by Hisun. Since it does not come with a heater (Axis 750 does) I was wondering if anyone knows what heater is part of the 750 edition. There was a photo that showed a Firestorm brand, however I can not find what variation it is. If anyone knows what a Inferno heater would be correct for the Axis 550. I would like to install it this Winter to take Justin riding on the farm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Brent

      2017 Massimo MSU 500 top end kit
      By Jerrys500
      Hi I'm about to order parts to do a bunch of work on my Massimo. Does anyone know if there's a difference in the top end kit {piston, Cylinder, Rings, Gaskets, Piston Pin} if it has a carb or EFI? I'm EFI and I think some came with a carb so I thought i'd ask before making a mistake...
      Thanks Jerr

      2020 Axis 500 - only getting reverse and neutral
      By JimG
      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.
