Cyle thanks for the help . I had no spark and checked the crank sensor. It had an ohms reading at first but when moving the wire at the top of the sensor it would loose connection. 👍

[@tommymctaggart8854]

After hours and hours of scouring the internet, finally Cyle has some real experience and real "fix-it" issue fixes.

[@kendallburks4856]

Great informative video. You are very knowledgeable on these machines! I just bought a new Odes 800 x2 and just reached 20 hours for break-in and was wondering how to get rid of the governor that prevents it from going past 25 mph.

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

There is a single wire connector it believe it's under the hood on the driver side riptide to an upright frame rail. All you have to do is disconnect it. Some are under the seat & are a white connector & some are under the hood & are a single black connector

[@kendallburks4856]

You are a genius! It was the single point black connector under the front hood. Runs like a dream! I've been trying to get the dealer I bought it from (which is 3 hrs from me) to tell me where it is for a week and won't get back with me! You are a huge help! Thank you so much!

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Glad I could help you out. Definitely sounds like the typical dealer unfortunately. Alot of people who get a hold of me tell me I have more information than the manufacturer 😆

[@alexjaeger5214]

Wow amazingly informative video! Just what I was looking for. I'm hopefully buying a 2014 odes lz800 for 1500$ it has coolant in the oil, so hopefully a head gasket will fix. Good to know the possible cause of the overheating engine. The first time I can afford a utv so fingers crossed. Do these all have can am engines?

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

They are a can am replica but not all can am parts will fit. It also could be a water pump seal

[@skidmark7845]

Just picked up a MSU 850 and already had to change the throttle cable cause it was sticking. It was melting the inside of the cable. It would stick when the engine was cold. This started at on 27 miles on it. Dealer got me a new one and had to fix it myself cause all their mechanics quit. I bought some 1/2 heater hose and slid the new cable through it to try and protect it from the heat. I also bought some 1/2 thick adhesive backed firewall insulation for the cover like you did cause you ain’t lying on how hot the center console gets. If I still get throttle cable issues, I’ll just run it on the outside of the console. Already thinking of selling it and getting a Honda

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

That's the best Idea you have is to sell it. I promise you it will be a constant battle till you do sell it. The Hondas are nice but I love Can am. That's probably because I use to work for them lol.

[@ajkemer]

Just bought a 2017 dominator 1000 5 seater for 3k has 1300 miles need to redo the stator to regulator harness not a big deal while going over it noticed some slope in control arm bushing and the front bearings. Also the front diff pinion has a lot of slop wondering if the nut may be backed off or if maybe the bearings shot.

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

The 2017 Dominator 1000 had a slew of issues. Of course as you know the charging system was an issue with those with melting the stator plug. Also the transmission was a big issue with those with the not backing back off and pushing a hole through the left side of transmission into the CVT causing clutch failures and major destruction. A lot of times the nuts do back off the differentials like that. I would definitely get in there and check the front and rear diff for sure. They also make a regulator rectifier relocation kit and you can try to get a hold of Scott swords at Scooter Powersports you can give you things you need to do the relocation

[@THAMZNSPIDERMAN]

Hey thanks for the informative video. For the fluid’s in the diff and transmission you said they changed to a 75/140 is that the recommended fluid now for the the 2013 ODES as well? Clarifying if I should switch to this fluid over the recommended for both dogs and transmission? Thanks Also would love to see a video on explaining options for the overheating issues with the odes and common fixes/upgrades/changes Keep up the great content

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

I personally don't see the harm in changing it to a 75w-140. But some would say stay with the 80w for the diffs in the older models. But I haven't had any issues with running the 75w-140. Next time I get one in the shop I'll try to make some videos on upgrades & for them.

[@THAMZNSPIDERMAN]

Thanks the manual does not specify for the trans @@limitlesspowersportsservic3394

[@BrandonLayMusic]

I have a 2013 odes dominator and the starter just spins. Is it possibly the sprang clutch blew up? Anything to look out for? Please advice is appreciated

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

It definitely really possible that the starter clutch/ spray clutch took a crap. You will have to pull the stator cover off & see if the gear sprins both directions. If so then it's bad. Not to hard to replace, just a little time consuming.

[@BrandonLayMusic]

@@limitlesspowersportsservic3394 ok thank you I’m gonna dive into mkndsy

[@WarningHumanity]

My oades 800 overheats its brand new and the dealer says it does it at low speed so I guess they think I’m supposed to drive 40mph everywhere and well there saying I can’t get a refund and is I put a oversized thermostat on it I’ll void warranty but if I take it out to like the river run it’s 7 miles of trails. I can’t take it there. It overheats every time I slow down. I’m so frustrated. This thing is brand new.

[@tonylangendorf9917]

So if you had the choice to buy a newer Odes machine say 2019 vs an older Kawasaki/Polaris/Can Am say 2014, which way would you go based off of issues you have seen? Thanks,

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Tony that all depends on the model of the others. But I probably would still choose a can-am are polaris over the odes. Don't get me wrong tho, every manufacturer has its problems but Odes seem to have way more constant issues. I have also worked on some really reliable odes but that is a rare occasion.

[@brianspinney6477]

Were would the transmission speed sensor be located on a 2010 700 hisun utv 4x4?

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Most of them are in the rear differential

[@thefalcon2point0]

Are there any common issues with the rear end? Got a 750 side by side with about 150 hours. The rear end seems to be jumping/catching/jerking. Even in just 2 wheel drive, with posi lock on or off, doesn't matter

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Are you sure it's the rear end & not the belt? I know they do have an issue with the bolt are nut coming loose on the yoke causing issues on deceleration jamming the pinion gear into the planetary gear.

[@mattstoner79]

Can the PVC cause engine smoking? What's the fix for the PVC?

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

A clogged crankcase vent /pvc can definitely cause the engine to smoke because it's not letting the pressure from the crank case escape & it can cause blowby. Ivwould pull the hose off the crank case vent & start it up & see if that cures your problem but I'm going to say you're probably going to need a new topend most likely.

I'm having issues finding a scanner. Can you help me with that please.

Hi Cyle love all the information you give on UTVs . Wondering if you have any information on my 2014 odes 800 dominator it only has 25 miles on it and the fuel pump quit , check and switched around relays to no avail. I haven’t had a lot of time to work on it but last winter it got cold and the started to work again but only for two or three days then quit again. Have you come across this problem and do you know how to fix it , I would appreciate any help. Thank you

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

It's a really good possibility that your fuel pump went out. I have replace so many fuel pumps on those things I can even count that high.

[@leetaylor3148]

I’ve got a 2019 massimo 400s buck… it seems to sway back and forth while driving. I have looked at all of the steering components and still looks tight. The UTV only has 134 miles on it. Any help would be appreciated 😁… btw.. love the video, thanks for your expertise!

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

I can't remember if those have a front & rear sway bar? That plays a big part in swaying back & forth..

I have a 2014 odes dominator 800. The 4x4 is not working. I don’t hear the actuator making any noise when I hit the 4x4 button. I have checked all fuses and relays. I also swapped the 4x4 button off another odes that I have and verified it’s not the button. Also, when I hit the 4x4 button, nothing comes up on the display to confirm it. However, when I click diff lock, I see it come up on the display, but still no noise or actual engagement. Any thoughts?

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

I know there are 2 styles of ignition switch. But they both are known to get water inside then & get corroded. You can pull the switch & take them apart & clean the connection & see if that cures your problem.

Thanks for the prompt response, I cleaned and check the wires and still not turning off, so I changed the ignition thinking that would solve the problem but it’s not. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciate

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Have you taken a look at the clutches & the belt. I would point my finger there first.

[@Vortex5674]

Hey Cyle, I took a couple weeks off working on the UTV but I am back at it now. I replaced the belt and all fluids but that didn't solve my slipping issue so I am working on the Wet clutch now. I have removed the Primary clutch with no issues however it doesn't seem that I have enough room in front of the secondary clutch to get it off of the shaft before hitting the seat frame. Do I need to tighten that spring from the back side in order to get the room to remove it? I feel like I have tried every angle to get that thing off of there.

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

You can't tighten that spring. Just make sure you have the secondary clutch all the way compressed again after taking the belt off. You should be able to get it out.

[@Vortex5674]

@@limitlesspowersportsservic3394 I did a little more research and people online said to push the engine over a little with a piece of 2x4 lumber and that worked to move it just a tiny bit to allow the clutch to slide off the shaft.

Hey Cyle, I have a year old Axis 500 and with about 35 miles on it. After I run it for about 15 min it wants to not take throttle but will still idle. I can shut it off and restart it and it’s good to go again for about another 10-15 minutes. I replaced the injector for grins cause it’s simple. I figured it wouldn’t change anything and it didn’t. Seems it’s something electrical after it warms up. Takes a lot longer to start acting up in the winter. Any info would be great. Thank ya much!!

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

I would start off by doing an ECU reset. That will help with getting the ECU back to what should be a factory setting. Try that first & let me know & we will go from there

Hey Cyle, I bought a Odes dominator 800 x4 and I have problem with the following; heat while driving it’s crazy, also change the ignition switch and it’s keeping damaging the new one after a few months of use and lastly the motor makes a huge noise. Can you please advise in any of these three issues Regards

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Sorry for the last response. Didn't see this comment. So as far as the heat goes all the odes have this issue. I put an acoustic heat barrier under all the housing around the motor. Also a lot of guys will put another fan pointing to the back from the front on a toggle switch so blow cool air through the engine tunnel. When it comes to the ignition switch it sounds like you may have a short to ground issue somewhere in the harness. I would check the black 9 pin connector that connects the main wiring harness to the engine harness. Also I'm not sure when you say loud noise from the motor what you're exactly talking about. It's it when driving you get a really high pitch wine? If that's it then it's a bearing in the transmission on the big pinion gear.

[@frankmedrano35]

Awesome, just covered all as you did for the heat problem and for reducing the noise on the cab, I relocated the air filter under the hood on front. Thanks again for your advice

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Yeah relocating that air filter under the hood makes a huge difference too. Did you ever figure out the issue with the ignition switch?

The only way to change what they call dwell time( how long the injector stays open) is to get the Hud hacker hardware from norwestsuspension.com then you can do all kinds of mods to your ecu

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Is it like cutting in & out? If so my guess you be the reverse speed controller. I know you're driving forward but they can cause that issue. But I would definitely check to make sure that non of the connectors are loose are that non of the wires are melted are pinched.

[@tommymctaggart8854]

Hi there. I just bought a 16 bennche spire 1000. I have no fuel or spark.

When you say no fuel, do you mean no fuel pump coming on? Check all you power & ground wires take sure they are not corroded. Then check to see if you have power running to your fuel pump & spark plug coils. I could be just a relay going bad are it could be the 9 pin connector getting corroded also

A lot of people are just bypassing the wiring harness & extending the stator wires so they can just run the wiring directly from the stator & pug into the reg/rec. Did you check the charging voltage at the battery & the ac voltage on all 3 legs of the stator & ohms test it too? I have seen new stators that bad from the factory.

When you give it gas can you feel the pedal return back under your foot? It's a possibility that the throttle positions sensor is stuck wide open are the Iac motor is stuck wide open too. I would take the intake off & look inside your throttle body to make sure the butterfly is returning all the way. But you would need to plug a scanner into it to see where the TPS is set at.

i have hisun 800. it is randomly blowing the ecu fuse. i disconnected the ecu and the fuse still blew as i switched it on. does anyone know if there is a part that connects to the harness that might cause this? the dead short comes and goes. no amount of twisting and moving the harness has made the problem either come or go when it happens. most of the time the dead short is not present so it is hard to locate the fault. as things are i do not dare to go longer distances on the atv.

[@sindriatlason6925]

@@limitlesspowersportsservic3394 it is made in 2011. hisun hs800 ATV i have gone over all connectors and no corrosion anywhere. when the fault was current it would blow the fuse when ecu was either plugged in or unplugged. but any time i try to disconnect parts to see if i can locate the short, the short has gone away. the dead short on the ecu fuse line will just randomly show itself and then go away. i pulled the loom to see if i could find short to frame but it all looks good. i am now hoping it might be one of the parts that connects to the loom that may be faulty but hard to find it when the fault is not currently present.

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

It's definitely a part that connects to the harness that is grounded out internally. Now does it only pop the fuse when the unit gets hot are just at random times when you just turn the key on & not run it?

I removed the plastics and had a fuse tester connected instead of the fuse. I wiggled the harness and checked all connectors. Now it has not done it again. But now I have a escalated problem of a starter kickback it is igniting to early as I am cranking it. When cold it starts out running on one cyl but slowly adds the other. Takes about 20 sec to be fully running on both. I did check the timing on the chain and cams. It is correct. Checked valve clearance it is correct. Changed out crank sensor. No change. Now I have ordered new Spark plugs Ignition coils Thermostat Code reader I'm guessing it is best to wait for the code reader so I can see what live data is showing me.
