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.

      2023 t-boss 550 belt slipping and found oil in belt housing
      By Cory J
      Belt started slipping when I used it in high gear. It works okay in low unless I'm trying to power it up a hill and then it slips.., Ordered a new belt and went to change it and found a good bit of oil in the belt housing. Has anyone experienced this? Belt looks fine. Only have 300 miles on this thing..

      2022 Hisun Sector 550 eps. Power steering not working
      By A P
      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.

      Heater installed 2021 Axis 500
      By Greg Kilgore
      Last year bought a small universal coolant style cab heater. Well I installed it today. Thanks to another member, RangeRider45, and his install
       
      That told in his post the size fitting he used. I got the same fittings plus a few others. And all went kinda smooth. Took a few minutes to get air purged from coolant system. Should have parked on hill with front up in the air. But would have had a hard time working on it.
      I had a variable power switch connected to an overhead cab fan. Never really used the fan that much. And I have to remove the fan to put on my cab enclosure anyway. So I repurposed the switch to supply power for the heater. The heater has 2 12-volt DC computer fans that are rated for 1.8 amps each. So it's not going to be a big drain on the weak charging system. And with the switch I've got great control over the speed of the fans.
      If anyone is interested the radiator hoses are 7/8 inch. I reworked the temperature sending unit (moved it closer to radiator) to make room for all the extra plumbing I did to get the heater to work the way I wanted. 
      Plumbing parts list.
      10-15 worm water clamps. 3/4 to 1 1/4 inch size.
      2 1" x 3/4" x 1" PEX Tee
      1 3/4" PEX ball valve
      1 1" PEX ball valve
      5/8" heater hose. I got 6' and probably have 4' left over.
      I used the radiator house I cut out to use as splices between the PEX fittings. The PEX fittings are not true to their dimensions that are stated on the package. So they fit the 5/8" and 7/8" very nicely.
      They way I have it plumbed is from radiation out side. A tee, then the 1" ball valve, then a Tee. Coming off the Tees are the hoses going to the heater core. There is a 3/4" ball valve on one of the Tees. The ball valves are used to bypass the heater core in the summer. Or direct the hot coolant through the heater core in winter. The temperature sending unit tells me how hot the coolant is. And if anything is getting too hot. The dash also has an idiot light that comes on if the head gets too hot. But doesn't do anything if the radiator gets too hot. There is a temp sensor on the radiator that controls the electrical fan. But if the coolant isn't circulating. That switch never sends a signal to turn on the fan. But enough talking/rambling. Everyone wants to see pics. The only thing I need to change is the orientation of the handle on the 1" ball valve. I have 2" or more clearance between the handle and the tire when cut hard right. But I still don't like it. And instead of taking the valve out and rotating 180°. I'm just going to take the nut off and rotate the handle 180°. Think I need to make a locking mechanism to lock the handles in place so they don't vibrate closed when the machine is moving.
      The temperature sending unit and housing. Size 22 mm. Aluminum from Amazon.

      Upper Tee the lower Tee is identical. Can also see the handle of the 3/4" ball valve on the 5/8" hose going to the heater.

      The 1" ball valve. Goes between the 2 Tees

      Wide view of the plumbing.

      The heater installed in the sxs. The 3 black hoses are just hanging there. Zip ties to the heater but not attached to any thing. Will probably just direct 2 toward the wife's feet. And 1 toward mine. Or what ever is need as the heat is needed on rides. The black hose in passenger floorboard is some 1" hose that is not needed. Don't know what I'll do with it.

       
      I think if I was going to do it again. I'd put some Indian Head gasket dressing or silicone on the 1" side of the PEX fittings. And I may still do that. But I really hate the ideal of introducing air back in the coolant system.
       
      Any questions just ask. It may take a while to answer. But I'll try.
      Ya be good and stay warm over the next few months

      Help! Hub safety-hour meter switch problem
      By Texjpr
      2002 ranger 500 4x4 stopped running and wouldn't restart. Service manual wiring diagram helped identify the hub safety switch as the culprit. Using jumper wires to bypass  switch allowed the engine to start and run normally. Inspection of switch showed melted epoxy and a strong smell of burnt electrical. Unable to find replacement part either used or new. Is there a work around other than jumper wiring?
