Hi I have a brand new Hisun 500 yesterday after getting it started and ran no problem. Today won't start without applying the fuel pedal and as soon as you release it it stalls.

Welcome to the forum!

Tough crowd here lol. But everyone here has a point, about it being a warranty issue, and it really should be handled by the dealership. 

Otherwise you'll be looking for a code reader for the diagnosis of the issue. Probably a throttle position sensor, or something similar. But with any of the Chinese UTVs, it could easily be the CPU gone bad, even though it's new. 

So you need to get it into the dealership service shop pronto.

They're all made or have parts from China. If you think any different,  you're wrong.

funny, I cant find any part on my Hondas that says MADE IN CHINA ..can you be specific on which part?  and if you think MASSIMO /HISUN  is the quality equivalent of Honda, you must have voted for Dementia Joe . Even the factory rep at Massimo at Dallas assembly plant told me they dumped HISUN engines and went to Linhai because HISUN is junk..

Nothing can really compare to a Honda for sure. They have the best small engines on the planet. That said; I own a Massimo 500. I have work the crap out of this thing including pulling small stumps, carrying loads of rock, dirt, firewood and other stuff I'm probably for getting. I have had no issues except the battery but, mine is a 2016 so it was about time. Good luck with your 500. PS, my 4 wheeler is a Honda. It's unstoppable.

I too have an MSU 500 SXS .. 2017 model... spent most of its first two years in the shop.. not one cent from Massimo for repairs , ever.   Now that its got a whole bunch of YAMAHA Rhino parts on it to replace the poor quality HISUN parts,  it finally runs well.   We  also have 4 HONDA ATVs .. they are absolutely bulletproof.. you cannot tear one up. AND MY GRANDKIDS TRY REAL HARD !! When I bought my MSU 500  in feb 2018 , it was $2500 cheaper than a Honda PIONEER... I SHOULD HAVE PAID THE $2500 .. I would be way ahead now. I even tried to trade it on a  HONDA , with only 50 miles on the Massimo ..  Honda would not take it. at all .. THEY KNEW!!!! lol

Buddy of mine has a Honda side by side, not sure which model I Don't know. Beautiful machine. During off season (hunting) every time we were going out in the swamp, rough terrain I noticed he's say, "You taking your Massimo" when I'd say he he's answer "o'k I'll leave mine home. 

   One time he brought his Honda because he had big tall tires and would clear more water. We came to a log 6"-8" no big deal. He takes iy OUT of 4 Wheel I say wait, you can get over that log easier IN 4 W.D. He says "not with this thing, I've broken 2-3 front axels in 4 W.D. climbing over logs!! I said Oh, thats why you usually leave this home, he just smiled!! Yes, they ALL break and as far as a part saying Made in China, if anyone says any of them don't have parts made in China................LOL!

Be careful Joe, there are those in moderation that don't like this "LETS GO BRANDON" deal!!!!   Ask me how I know, remember my avatar???

thats odd, I know several with Honda and Kawasaki SXS s and we all ride in the swamp together.. never seen one have issue climbing logs in 4WD .. Its funny tho, they can all outrun me on flat dry ground but my  Massimo/Yamaha has pulled a couple of them out of deep mudholes. And I dont mean with my winch.But it could just be the drivers.lol

as for the  moderators here, they would really not like my T-Shirt.. Its a stick figure humping you know who ..[ the potted plant in the WH]   lol   have a good one buddy

Oh dont get me wrong, my buddies Honda definitely was a nicer machine....I guess. But  $6000-$8000 more and his Honda came without a windshield and I believe he pd extra for the roof and winch, I know on lots of them you do.  All that came stock on the Massimo.  Another friend has 2 Arctic Cats, beat the crap out of both of them like I have my Massimo, he's had LOTS mort trouble with them than I have the Massimo.  My point??? None them are any better than they need to be, and they ALL have parts made in China, everything does .Lincoln is nicer than a Maverick.....but again LOTS more expensive, its all what you want and what you want to put in it.

my issue was the 1st  break down on first day with 1 miles..yes ONE MILE on it.. and Massimo basically told me to go "F' myself for warranty.  and again  ALL SIX TIMES IT BROKE IN FIRST YEAR!!!  They refused to pay one cent of repairs at a shop they provided . After a lot of cash and a bunch of NEW YAMAHA RHINO PARTS replacing the trash HISUN parts , I now have a decent machine.. but during the first year I never got more than 15 minutes use without yet another breakdown. My buddy's Honda Pioneer has over 6,000 miles on it and has only had regular oil changes. NOT ONE BREAKDOWN ..

did you miss the part where I TRIED TO TRADE IT ON A HONDA when it had 50 miles on it? They wouldnt take it and I cant aford to just park the $9K, plus $3K in repairs  I spent on it and then  put out another $12K-$14K on a new Honda .

we have a camp on the Atchafalaya River so I spend a lot of time there year round. Theres miles of good riding trails nearby. Kids and grandkids  too.

That sounds really great!! Now something like that I could really get into. We dream about a deeded rv lot to set up on, maybe sell the house…but here in Florida they’re ridiculously priced. I guess everyone goes north in the summer and rents their lot down here in the winter

we have 1 1/2 acre on the river.. two campers set up full time with metal buildings .. bought years ago. I m retired so we spend a lot of time there fishing etc.. Used to hunt but not too much anymore. Our property borders the Sherberne WMA and National Forest.  I can literally walk 100 yrds and deer hunt

      2023 Massimo Buck ran for minute then died. Key on all power to dashboard but do not hear full pump turn on like previously. Also no fire at plug. ECU?
    • 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.

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      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.
