Side By Side / Throttle adjustment 450i uxv
« on: July 10, 2017, 05:44:15 PM »
I need to adjust the throttle on my 450i up a little. I am not familiar with an efi adjustment. Anyone know where the idle screw might be?

Side By Side / 450i uxv update
« on: July 01, 2017, 07:21:12 PM »
We now have 6450 miles on our 450i.  So far we have had 3 oil leaks, the front tires have worn out twice, it runs erratically ,the ignition switch wore out, and the rear brake is noisy. Overall, it has been a pretty good machine. It has never left us stranded. We have now sold this machine and moved on to a Honda Pioneer. The rear brake system for the Honda is almost identical to the Kymco and makes noise. So, would I buy another one? Probably not, as everyone thinks they are Chinese junk and they are hard to sell...

Side By Side / 450i review

We bought the 450i in september of 2014. We have put 2560 miles on the machine since then. So far the only problem we have encountered is excessive tire wear on the front tires. I don't know if it's the cheesy stock maxxis tires or a problem with the front end alignment. I am going to take it to the dealer and have it checked. We have used this machine in mud, snow , etc and are quite pleased with how it performs. Plenty of power for trail riding, even on steep muddy terrain. The bed is a great feature, we haul in a jag of firewood everytime we ride. Unfortunately, we have been having a hard time finding accessories and Kymco offers very few choices. We are able at this time to purchase a windshield from the dealer for $350, which I think is pretty high for a plastic one. I bought a piece of plexiglass last winter and cut it to size, used zip ties to mount it and gorilla tape to help secure it to the machine and it worked great. $29 was a little more reasonable than $350. We mounted a boss audio stereo system to the roll cage and a led light bar to the front of the machine directly above the winch and they both work great. The only downside the the machine is availability of accessories.
