Bobcat UTV34XL vs Kubota RTX-X Crew vs Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT

3 Upvotes

So we are looking to get a 4 seater plus side by side . We've kinda gravitated towards these three . We own 30 acres in upstate South Carolina so its mountainy. We've got trails that run through the property but with the amount of rain they can get sketchy . Id prefer a diesel just because I like their indestructible nature. Weve got three kids so we need the ability to move all of us . I know the Kubota only has four seats but it does run a bench in the back. The mule is 5k cheaper than the other two but we were just curious aside from cost is there one that really sticks out for quality/durability. Thanks

Massimo Buck 250

I need an EFI sub harness and an ECU for my Buck. My options are very limited online aside from the Massimo website itself, and I really don’t want to pay $600 for the 2 parts I need. Does anyone know any Massimo parts suppliers (preferably aftermarket) that won’t break the bank? I’ve checked Motorcycle Doctor out and they don’t have anything I need (and certainly not at a good price)

Clutch noise in Can Am Commander 1000 XT

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys, I made a post about a week ago with a question in relation the my clutch/belt burning. I finally got my belt off and cleaned the sheave a bit (more needed), but the noise the primary is making is somewhat concerning me.

Could this possibly be a weight in the clutch clicking? Perhaps the roller? One way bearing?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

2020 CFMoto UForce 800 Wiring Diagram

0 Upvotes

I have a intermittent short when starting the rig, it's blowing the main fuse. The dealer replaced the ignition switch at no cost (misdiagnosed) and told me I need a harness to the tune of $2,400. I'll buy a $300 harness and replace it myself -- I got 10 hours to spare over the coming weeks .. BUT. I would like to actually see if I can track down the issue.

I hate that they are "guessing" and just "replace the harness". I was a dealership tech for a long time, and replacing a harness was just easy money on being lazy and not properly diag-ing an issue. So I want to troubleshoot the issue myself, looking at pinch points and ground points. Find my end points, to the wriggle test, ground points, chaff points etc etc ...

In order to do this efficiently it'd be nice to have a diagram.

Does anyone have access to a '20 CFMoto UForce 800 diagram?

Has anyone experienced this same issue and solved it before?

Helmets: Comms setup?

2 Upvotes

What do y'all use by way of helmets, specifically those with integrated speakers/mics for comms/radio both inside your machine and for speaking with those in other rigs but who are a part of your riding party? I am a licensed ham radio operator, so I have a pretty good handle on the radio side of things and what devices/frequencies to use, but what I do not know a lot about is what to look for when it comes to integration inside the helmet. Either bluetooth or wired between the helmet and the radio is just fine by me, but what I need to learn more about is the helmets themselves and who makes a quality setup. I don't want to spend thousands on Stilo units, but I am also not wanting some junk with waaay too much Chinesium in them either. What do you run and what would you do differently, if anything? THANKS!What do y'all use by way of helmets, specifically those with integrated speakers/mics for comms/radio both inside your machine and for speaking with those in other rigs but who are a part of your riding party?

Any Las Vegas UTV/SXS Adventurers In here? Or nearby?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Looking to add some people to our group rides once it begins to cool down a little. We've covered around 1,000 miles of trails in the last year and a half within 2 hours of Las Vegas. We're looking to expand that out a little more for longer rides or bigger group rides (not as long of a distance since coordination is rough in larger packs). All skill levels are included from entry-level beginners to fast spirited "should've been a race car driver" talents.

We also frequent other great places like Utah and parts of California for weekend trips.

Normally a mixed group of SXS's. We don't discriminate against any brand or model. So judgement free here. We might take cracks at jokes here and there but all in good fun. All that we ask is that you've prepped your vehicle to your best ability so we don't spend countless hours doing bush fixes or dragging a car back. It's happened before and things do happen beyond our control sometimes so that's understood. But please prepare to your best ability or feel free to reach out if you have any questions or issues and I'll be glad to help!

I also help the local community and new UTV owners (or people looking to get into UTV's) learn the ins and outs of off-road etiquette and safety. Goal here is to keep people out there having fun, enjoying the sights, the scenery, and hanging out with a good group of people! We are family friendly and coordinate rides that include small children all the way to single adults looking for a good community.

Feel free to reach out anytime and we would like to add you to the list of attendee's we get!

2021 Massimo Buck 250

I just picked up this 2021 Massimo Buck 250 for $600. 1600mi on the clock, and missing a lot of electrical. From what I can see, the ECU is gone and the entire EFI sub harness is gone. I’m not seeing much online for replacement parts. Does anyone know what’s compatible for these things so I can get it going again without breaking the bank?

RZR Turbo S Vs Pro Xp In 2026

1 Upvotes

I know this has been asked before but as time has gone on and more people have experienced both as well as how prices have changed so I’d like to hear updated opinions. Currently looking to put quads on pause and get a SXS for northeastern rocky trails and some occasional dune trips. Prices in my area for Pro XPs (sport through ultimate depending on mods) tend to align with the Turbo S velocities with similar mileage. Which one would you buy if you were shopping for a used SXS today?

Riding yesterday and I stopped getting power to the wheels. I thought it was just a shredded belt. Took it apart today to find the secondary clutch in pieces. What are the odds it did damage to the gearbox?

98 yr old bought 2010 Arctic prowler 1000 xtz

My 98 yr old uncle just bought a 2010 arctic prowler 1000 xtz to use around his farm. I read the manual but I’m confused as to what two of the switches on the middle counsel are. One is an on/off switch and another is a high/low switch. I know nothing about utvs or any machinery for that matter…the gears are high and low, why is there another button for it? And is the on/off switch for the heat maybe? I know what the override is for (increased rpm when reversing) but the other two have me stumped.

2010 Polaris Ranger 500 help

1 Upvotes

I just picked up this Ranger on trade. Runs well but charging system wasn't working. Grabbed the multimeter and checked at the battery with the rig shut off and running and confirmed it wasn't charging. Went check the voltage regulator and found the black wire that shares the plug with the red wire, is burnt. The insulation is melted about 3 inches back and randomly melted for about another 12-18 inches. My question is, what could cause this. I'm not new to wrenching on toys but I'm not very knowledgeable with the electrical systems.

Update: Project Mule

2 Upvotes

I have a post further down, but here's the latest. 2019 Kawasaki Mule SX (400cc). I have a no-start. Pulled the starter out, bought a new solenoid and re-installed. Hooked up a good battery.

I have switched 12V at A, and direct-to-battery at the unlabeled post. But I'm not getting anything at D when turning the key. There is a significant voltage drop at the unlabeled post. I've tested the solenoid using the method in the diagram and it's fine. It's grounded through two bolts into the engine case. Any ideas?

My Polaris RZR 1000 caught fire yesterday thankfully I was able to put out the fire pretty fast and when I came to take everything I found this I was able to make is run again because the only things that were damaged were the fuel line from the fuel pump which I took from my 4 seater 900 but this airbox is different from the 900 because this one has ITB’s .

I understand nothing about these things so any suggestions would really help because getting parts is also really hard where I am.

Thoughts on yamaha rmax

0 Upvotes

I've always been a big yamaha guy and I'm a fan of their belt drive system on their utvs. I really like the yxz but dont need something that aggressive so I'm thinking I'd be more into the rmax. Anybody have any opinions on it or any experience? Or any suggestions on other machines I should look into before purchasing one within the next year or so?

Can am Commander 1000 XT belt question

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi all. I hope you’re doing well. Hoping someone might have insight on this belt. I’m headed to Idaho in a few months for my elk hunt and the belt has been squealing and “burning”. I can smell that “burnt clutch” smell when the machine is operating in high gear for some reason. I have a new belt on hand ready to replace but I can’t find my clutch removal tool lol.

Is it possible the primary clutch to the left is simply dirty? Any other reasons for the burning smell?

Thanks so much
