My  msu500 has around 200 hours on it. I started it last week put it in low and made it about 6 feet. there was a pop and dead engine. Tried starting it again and it spun really fast and free. Well I started at the top tearing it down and what I’m seeing is the timing gear broke. Everything looks good other than the timing gear and I’m missing two pieces that now of course I have to tear the whole engine down to find lol. Has anyone had this happen? This thing has been a colossal piece of garbage since I’ve owned it. My dad bought it brand new and I got it with around 20 hours on it.

If the timing gear broke that is on the camshaft there is no need to take apart the entire engine.  Take the Stator cover off and the flywheel, take off the timing chain adjuster off, put a new chain (if you want) and install a new camshaft and gear.  should only take a few hours not a bad job at all.

      2022 Sector 750 EPS starting issues
      By GunnersTacklebox
      Hi All,
      New here, but bought a 2022 Sector 750 brand new last march (old stock up here in Canada)
      It's a good bike so far, but I have noticed a quirk and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue?
       
      The issue I've had is if I leave the utv parked on any incline, not even a major incline, and leave it to sit for a while (day or two) it will not start properly. It will turn over and not fire until I press the gas pedal, when it will run and rev up, but if I let off the gas it will die. It will keep doing this until I either start it in gear and drive it for a bit or leave it in neutral and roll it down the hill to flatter ground. where it will have to sit for a while. 
      If I park it on a decline there is no issue. fuel is not low, it's occurred a couple times now. 
       
      Any thoughts on the cause of this? Dealership just says bring it in and let them take a look, at my expense of course.

      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

      My Odes Dominator 800 bogs down when it gets to 25mph
      By Bjabbarw
      My 2021 Odes Dominator 800 bogs down at 25mph and won’t go over that speed. I have changed the fuel pump and it still does the same, it runs and idles fine, it has great reverse speed, but it won’t accelerate past 25mph. Any Ideas?

      sector e1 regen has stopped (mostly) working
      By mark walkom
      the regen braking on my e1 has stopped working unless (for eg) I am going down a hill in low and it's slowing things down to stick to the 10kph limit. when I drive and take my foot off the accelerator it's not initiating the regen to slow things down and instead just coasts at whatever speed it is at, or speeds up as the regen is not limiting it. the brake lights work, so it's probably not a fault with the sensor on the brake pedal
       
      hoping someone else might be able to provide some suggestions on things to check, as the mob that I bought it off seem to have gone silent on me
