Side By Side / Re: UXV 500I Boggs when throttle applied, wont go over 6 MPH or 3500 RPM

Cam bad or out of time? Both?
   

                              TLDR - It was Both :-[

   Just a follow up in case it helps anyone in the future with this problem.

  Today was windy & miserable so I figured who not stand out in the cold & tear my machine down again.

I had noticed the New replacement intake cam had worn down just like the original had, so I ordered a used one this time that I figured must be properly hardened as it lived one life already.  Long shot I know.  I replaced it & added a new rocker also this time.  After replacing both & setting the lash to 0.004 it still just crept along at 6mph & bogged when throttle was applied beyond say 15%.
      I bit the bullet, took the valve cover & timing hole cover off & removed the timing chain tensioner.
I took the recoil starter cover off & wrenched it over to TDC -
Both my cam's were in fact one tooth off.  I reset them & buttoned everything back up.
  Fired it up & am Finally back to Full Power.  I avoided the timing like the plague but it was in fact the 2nd main problem besides the Intake cam.

         BIG Thanks guy's & Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  8)

I'm quite willing to bet your $$ that the 12 and 13's are the same. But I've been wrong before!
Good luck!

Thank you once again sir!  I'm thinking the same & just needed a push  - I guess in a few days we shall see  :D

If it does or does not work  I'll report back my findings.   Its crazy to find them so cheap for once because of the age but its about time the universe threw me a bone.... :P

Watch them not fit now  ;D

   I have searched this one till my desktop & brain are overheating  :o

I have a 2012 UXV 500I LE, as we all know by now lol  ;D

I need new CV boots on all the axles & as luck would have it I can currently just buy the complete axles for about the same price as the boots would cost me alone.  All the axles say 2013 & up though - I dont see any difference in the 12' & 13" model years axle wise & even kymco USA & local dealerships couldn't tell me what & if they were a bit different...

Anyone with any experience ever have a problem here or know if there is a difference.  I imagine even UXV 700 axles will fit/interchange around that time frame - to save the company mfg costs but I have been wrong before.

  Hate to buy them & be wrong but I'm getting to where I'll just about risk it.......... ???   

Also the front left diff dust seal is needed & I cant find one to save my life -  my diff fluid just spills out on steep hills.    Anybody know where one is   

  I'll stop for now before I wear out my welcome guy's :-X

  Thanks once again, I really love this old machine & appreciate the help!!!!

  Good question sir, the Cam lobe was almost nonexistent on the intake camshaft.  I had noticed it showed some ware when the machine first got into my hands but figured I'd tackle all the electrical problems/codes etc  first.    I was honestly just avoiding a big problem & should have tackled it first off but wasn't sure the machine would survive me lol.     The original owner was hard on this thing & it shows but she is looking & running much better now.

  Alright, for anyone in the future having a similar problem here's my findings.

I tried the new G-Force belt, it only helped via the placebo effect. Glad to have a new one on nonetheless. Cleaned & inspected both drives, they were dirty & so were their ventilation system ( the plastic tube).  The rollers were decent condition, only one had a crack in the side. Otherwise they all were still above minimum spec so I haven't replaced them yet.
     
  I ordered a new intake camshaft & got it yesterday.  Installed it & set the lash to .004 IN & EX. polished the rocker also.

    That was the ticket, she runs fine now.     Will report back if any issues arise.

  Well I got the new belt along with brake pads yesterday.
Picked up a G-Force belt & installed it along with an inspection of the drives etc.  Everything looks good, one slightly cracked roller but they all measure well within spec.  No real change, but it does feel a bit stronger uphill.      Its gotta be electrical or the wear to the intake cam lobe is all I have left to go on.
    Back to the drawing board I guess.

   Guys I can't seem to find a used one anywhere, anyone have one they swapped for a better option laying around or know where I can get one? I can't seem to even locate an aftermarket as of yet.  I ended up buying the UXV 500i in rough condition off my neighbor & I'm tiring to get it trail worthy.  I'm in North Carolina & willing to buy used or new, shipping is probably my best bet so i'm prepared for that. A winch isn't that important.

  Many Thanks Gentleman!!!

  I ordered a new belt, maybe that will help as this one is at about the service minimum (its 1.25").

Ill post tomorrow when it comes in & I figure out how to remove the drives with the special tools.

I'll also inspect the clutch & drives for common worn parts (rollers, springs etc).
 
 Wish me luck...

Gobbling fuel may be injector pattern is so crappy that it is solid stream instead of fine spray. You mat want to observe spray pattern during start sequence. Should be a fine mist. Any streaming  send the injector to a shop for check and clean/repair.

Try Injector Master in Portland, OR...25 bucks and 24 hour turn around if no reliable shops in your area.

I did pull the injector, lightly cleaned & it blasts out a fine mist as you'd expect.  I'll recheck anyway just to be dead sure.  This is driving me nuts LOL.

Probably not your problem being it is drinking fuel, but I will throw this out there just in case. My 19 UVX 700 will not go over 7-8 mph unless my driver's seat belt is fastened. Could it be a bad switch in the seat belt? Are you are using the belt?

I had read about that I don't see any sensors going to this one Seat belt wise but I'll give it a try.

Edit, this earlier model doesn't have that feature,  I appreciate the try at it though sir!!

I did remove all the sensors & clean them, no luck there either.  Just seems something small is holding it back from its full potential...

Welcome to the forum!
I know squat about UXV's so I'll stay out of this - help should be along ....

Good luck

Stig

Thank you Sir, I understand its a long shot & I'm probably forgetting a lot of info that needs to be said also but it's worth a shot to see if someone out there has any fresh ideas on the strange issue here.        Its something small im sure, I pulled the belt cover off & it looks good for its age so thats another possible problem crossed off the list.

  I'll keep at it & maybe get some luck
