It was cheap because it's garbage. The "factory" is far away. Dealers selling junk don't surprise me when their service is poor. I do appreciate the warning since they don't deserve to sell anything, but this is typical Chinesium quality. Cheap machinery usually costs much more than quality in the end. Assembling ChiCom parts in CONUS doesn't make them not junk.
Massimo's powersports products (MXU 1000) are assembled and tested in America, in a 325,000-square-foot facility in Garland, through a partnership with Chinese manufacturer Linhai. Almost all of the parts are MADE IN CHINA (Cheap low-quality materials and manufacturing) shipped to The USA then slapped together by inexperienced young adults who have NO MECHANICAL knowledge and get paid Minimum Wages. Yes Sir you got CHEATED and should be MAD AS HELL!
Yeah those rods do put in work, Abugarcia need to give you boys a sponsor ship pulling in big drums, reds on their gear . If it can handle this bas what.
Man, if I could catch a black drum off a dock like that boy I say boy id be out there all day. I got poles that don't break with 50lb bread, and I sit in a wheel chair with breaks locked going for a ride, they might break the brakes and pull me in if its big enough XD.
There’s another guy on here that got burnt with this same unit. His name is Kenneth Shilling. His issue started at only two weeks after he purchased it. They cockblocked the comments section on his video. You can see by his about profile when they started to block him like they were ready for him when he made the video cause he’s tried to re-upload the video it looks like five or six times and yet the comments section still won’t allow him to get a response. His issue started after he left his place in Texas or maybe it wasn’t his place, to make a long story short when he got to his place in Oklahoma I believe, the bike wouldn’t run right. So after calling the dealership in Texas, they told him to unplug the battery for 15 minutes or so and that should reset the computer to be able to run it there but it didn’t work so now they telling him to disconnect the muffler and clean it out because he thought it might have built up some carbon on it. The refused to do that because now he would be voiding the warranty so they just cut him off. When I say they cut him off, I mean RU-vid cut him off completely so he wouldn’t be able to see the comments at all and no one is allowed to ever see them. His video has just over five thousand views on it and he had just started it March. They stopped that one video from ever gaining any traction on it. Five thousand views. Can you believe that it came a Chinesium company with that kind of power to stop a pissed off customer from revealing the truth about their product. Well anywhoo
Bought a MSU 850 and it’s not much better than this. Throttle cable seized up so they gave me another one to put on myself because both of their mechanics quit at the same time. Well not only did the new replacement cable seize up but the drive assembly decided to take a dump and guess what it said on the cover. It said CF Moto. All jokes aside, the way I see it is that CF Moto didn’t think this power plant was good enough so they sold a large quantity of them to Massimo for an unbelievably low price. Enough said. So now after on three months and only 53 miles on the bike and it’s Christmas time coming up. You guys thinking what I’m thinking. Either someone gets a new bike or a total refund or somebody’s gonna to ruin Christmas for all its employees. If I have to lawyer up, I’m prepared to do it at this point I’m so stinking mad. After paying them cash and they still didn’t cut me no breaks. After it was all said and done I shelled out over 15 grand for the bike that started out good but ended up so bad, especially after having to take out all my saws and trimmers out the bed and log splitter equipment. So yeah like this guy says, spend the extra money on a reputable company and you won’t have these problems.
You have a problem with your dealership. You did NOT take it “back to the manufacturer”. For that matter if you bought a new $80k truck and had problems you still wouldn’t take it back to the manufacturer You’re mad I get that but don’t play it up that you took it back to the factory.
No reason to be getting stuck in puddles like that. First and foremost don't baby em through 4 inches of mud...... your're giving the bike time to sink. Also could have gotten out of those by just shaking the bike. And if that don't work try diff lock.
Never buy something designed to sell to the government. They know things the military buys will be used for 200 hours then sold or left in another country.
People think they are clever buying Chinese junk and then they complain when it turns to shit. Just buy quality product in the first place and it will work out cheaper in the long run anyway.
Had similar issues with CFmoto uforce 1000. After 3 months in the shop, they never could figure out the electrical issue. Had wires melt, fuses blown, wouldn't start half the time, and battery drain. Sold that piece of xxxx.
Your issues have a lot to do with a sub-par dealer. I know this because we are an Odes dealer and I get machines in all the time that sat at other dealerships for months. Sometimes it really is parts availability (I've dealt with that and it sucks), but what Ive found is it's often dealers/techs that don't know what to do with it. You'd be surprised how common that is. This is half the problem. Many iffy dealers, so you have to choose wisely. Maybe ask how much power sports experience the service dept has.... That'll tell you a lot about what you'll get for service/support. How you got the machine back with wires hanging all over and switches that don't work says EVERYTHING. As for the extra connectors hanging under there, that is normal. There are a handful that don't go to anything because as accessories have been added, removed, or changed over the last few years the extra connectors stayed. Many of the problems people have had with communication are because they purchased their machine when Odes was owned by Massimo. Therefore Massimo will be little help because they are not able to sell those machines anymore. Odes has been back on their own for around a year and building the company from the ground up again and also factory direct. So no more middle man importer for parts. A lot has changed. We helped out Odes as tech support during that transition period too so we got a front row seat to the whole thing.
@Race Craft If you don't mind me asking... how are both Odes and Massimo? I am likely to be looking for a crew-sized machine, and specifically want one with heat and AC to make it more useful throughout the year in Canada. Currently the Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Crew is my top pick, but I'm trying to check out other brands too.
@@Maplicito if you're looking for something full size, I'd go with Odes over Massimo. The Odes machines are pretty good for the money but I'll admit you will be doing a little more tinkering over time. It's a price point thing. $24k(ish) for heat, AC, winch and light bar. Everything comes standard.
I had almost exact same problems you did minus the electrical fire on top of the fuel tank they were able to get me a new one and it Road about 3 feet under the trailer and it dropped a rod. I had to file with the state of Texas for the lemon law and it took a few months, but I got it back and probably wouldn’t buy the Kabota.
For the money I guess it would better to just get a used 1/4 ton 4x4 pickup. At least you can title and license that in every state and drive it on or off road.
