MXU / Re: MXU 375 Stalls when you give it gas
« on: January 27, 2022, 04:01:46 AM »
If everything is hooked up identical, as best you can tell, you could swap the carbs between ATVs and see if the issue follows the suspect carb to the other ATV. This would confirm the carb is the problem.

Only other thing I can think of is if there is a screw adjustment you could count turns to bottom on the one that runs, then set it back to factory setting. Go to the other carb and screw the adjustment screw all the way in and then count out the same amount of turns. Do not apply too much pressure on the screw when it stops. Can damage the seat. At least then you would know that both carbs are set the same.

Just thought of one more thing to throw out there. I know on my granddaughter's little ATV I had to pull and clean the carb. Replaced some of the fuel lines too. Had a heck of a time with it not wanting to run right after putting it back together. Best I could come up with was installing the new fuel lines I created a small section that dipped coming from that gas tank and then ran upwards every so slightly to the carb. I think it made it harder to fill the fuel bowl on the carb. Rerouting the fuel line so it progressively ran down hill to the carb made it run great again. May not be your problem, just something else I thought of.

You remove both seats, take the allen screw out of the shifter, two pull pins in the front. Can't remember what is in the back (maybe two bolts) but you will see with the seats out. Sparkplug is easy then to get too. I know on my MXU450i I replaced the sparkplug pretty early on for a cutting off condition when coming to an idle. I already have a new sparkplug for my 700, just have not installed it yet.

I think it is 2.5" wider and maybe 5.5" longer. About 165 lbs heavier. So still not a really big UTV.

Oh, and not had a chance to clean it from those two rides. Last two!

Some quick pictures from yesterday. Pretty wet outside the first couple of days I got to drive it.

Have to wait until Monday when I get off for more pictures. And I will post them for you guys. Thanks! I parked it in the garage because there was heavy rain coming. My wife joked with my daughter that I had my nearly new F150 parked out in the rain. Claimed I bumped my head when purchasing it, lol! I kind of wished it had the bench seat like the 450. At the same time, I can say the bucket seats are very comfortable. Have no idea how it compares power wise to the 450i. I have had it up to 54 mph, only for a couple of seconds. Doubtful I will take it over 50 again. Just not much need. Some of the things it came with I really wanted, especially the windshield and roof. It has a nice finish on it, it looks painted.

Purchased a 2019 UVX 700i LE Hunter model. Not that I hunt! It was used by the Kymco center in South Carolina. It was never sold but had 741 miles on it. The dealer made it worth to me to drive a few hours and purchase it. Has a lot of neat extras, power steering, bed extender, roof, windshield, 14" alloys, 26" tires, Warne winch installed and some funky plates mounted in the bed for gun boots. I took them out, didn't want my German Shephard bumping into them on rides. Put 40 some miles on it in the week I have owned it. Nice ride, pretty good power and my German Shephard loves it! Still have my MXU 450I and have no plans of letting it go anytime soon. Just thought I would share!

MXU / Re: Help with 150 speed restriction removal

On my grandson's old Kymco 90 the spacer is removed. Has caused no extra wear on the belt. I think you will be fine.

The spacer on your picture is removed, right? With it removed the two sheaves go closer together which raises the top speed.

Guess I will just wait until next year then. Like Pa-outdoorsman I got a very good deal on my 2014 MXU 450i leftover in 2015. Dealer was just a few hours away in VA. from me. They made it well worth the drive at that time. I have two 450 ATVs, a Yamaha and the Kymco to ride. Just me and the wife are getting no younger and thought a side by side would be nice. Could even ride some of the younger grandchildren too.

Side By Side / 450i availability

After debating for some time about adding a side by side (a 450 of course) it seems there is none to be had. I know a dealer or two is on these forums so I was just wondering if anyone has a rough idea when they may be restocked? What happened to all of them?

You will be pretty safe at the 100 mile mark for the first change. Think that is when I did mine. I used 0W-40 mobil 1 in mine. I would just be careful not to use any energy conserving oil.

I have a 2014 MXU450 bought new in 2015. Yes, they can be finicky putting in reverse from forward. If that is what you are talking about. It will get better with some miles on it. You can adjust the shifting rod but, I would wait a little while and put some miles on it first. I have found rocking it by shift my weight back and forth helps. Mine still does it on occasion but it is rare. I adjusted my shift rod at maybe 75 miles or so. Then around 150-200 miles I had to screw the rod back some as it broke in more. Kind of over shot it. Mine gets used a lot for yard work, 50" sweeper and a large lawn roller that you fill with water. Tow a 500lb. utility trailer 1 mile to my daughter's house with a push mower, grass trimmer, gas blower and my German Shephard during the summer grass season. Also fun in the woods and three days at the Hatfield McCoy trail system, covered about 90 plus miles in those 3 days in the mountains. Only thing I have replaced is the speed sensor. Just to let you know. We have a Yamaha Grizzly 450 also which was my first ATV. I much prefer the Kymco myself. Just saying!

Took me a while to find it. Did Ebay search but you must have bought the last one. Finally it dawned on me to do a completed search! Yea, I am old too! I contacted them and they have one on hold for me when it arrives. Should have shipped or will ship very soon. I think the lady said they had a pair arriving around the 15th. Thanks!
