I have a 2013 Coleman ut500. When riding I get a lot of heat coming from behind the seats. Has anyone put some kind of heat shield to stop this heat? It get quite warm on long rides! T.I.A.

Plan on doing something like that to my axis. Something else I plan on doing is a pair of 12 volt radiator fans way up high tied to the ROPS (roll over protection system). Then have passenger and driver rocker switches. 

Should provide plenty of air. Plenty of air comes in at the top of windshield. And help keep dust out of cab. I have a rear windshield. That helps a LOT but still gets a little in.

There are self adhesive rubber sheets with foil backing that are heat resistant and will help reflect the radiated heat you could try. As a bonus they also deaden noise. They are available for example, on Amazon, for relatively cheap.

I'm not familiar with that particular model/year but presumably like the other older models the cylinder slants forward under the driver's seat? If so it will be harder to deal with the heat due to the proximity of the cylinder. All the newer engines the cylinder slants backwards and is under the bed.

You also need to be careful what you block off for airflow around the engine because there are parts that require airflow to keep cool even on a nominally water cooled engine.

I had that same issue with my Massimo MSU500 .. Tried shielding the cab.. heat was still coming in everywhere . it was very hot with our  100* days here. The heat was coming from the outlet of the mechanical fan on passenger side. The duct exited right between the seats rear. And it was very hot!  Turned out it was because  the engine  was running 240* and soon blew the head .. after getting it all repaired couple times, we bypassed the factory sender on radiator and ran electric cooling fan 100%.. guess what, no heat in the cab .. When winter came we installed an adjustable controller to keep the engine between 160*-180*..   All is well now and you can put your hand on that duct on a hot day.

Thanks, but on mine you can see the exhaust right between the seats and the console. I believe that's where all the heat is coming from.

      Code Reader for Delphi MT05 Coleman UTV 400 Hisun
      By Homeowner A
      Is there a code reader available for the Coleman UTV 400?  I tried using the HUD ECU Hacker software and cables/adapters but no luck OBD to delphi 6 pin and KKL VAG as well as ELM327.  Will not connect.  I was able to get it to connect randomly a couple of times, but haven't been able to since.  I was able to clear and read the codes briefly.  I'm aware of the Tiny Scan 301 but it doesn't seem to be readily available.  There's a few out there but they are expensive.

      2013 Hisun 800 Please Help Wiring
      By Marie
      Hello, we recently got a 2013 Hisun 800 as a little project for my husband and I to work on. Turns out the guys before us loved the mud anyway. We have replaced the stator and now going to do the Rectifier but here is the hold up as seen in the picture. There are tons of wires going to the battery. I cant seem to find anything that shows what wires should, or shouldn't be attached to the battery or where these 2 plugs go. if someone would please take some pics or share knowledge to where they go I would appreciate it greatly.

      Snow Blade for Coleman Outfitter 550?
      By Alien10
      I'm thinking of buying a snow blade for my Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun with Coleman stickers).
      Has anyone purchased a snow blade that can offer the make and model they bought and any comments, pros  cons etc.?
      Not 100% sure I'm going to buy, as the selection of blades for this model seems a bit thin on line. 
      Thoughts and comments welcomed.
      Thanks in advance.

      Bobcat 2200 dump bed relay pops fuse and stalls after warm
      By rdborra
      I had to remove the relay for the dump bed due to it popping the fuse for main key power. I have tried to find a short but nothing seems to out of normal. I also disconnected the dump motor and switch and still pops the fuse. Also, when the machine is warmed up i get about 5 to 10 of work out of before it stalls. Once I can get it to start again I have to use the choke to keep it running.
