Does any one have any pictures of the engine? Does the electrical system seem to be ok? How much do they way? Does the front differental have diff lock? How long is the warranty different web sights have different times for the warranty. How much did yall pay? some say about 5000 without shipping, ebay says about 5700 with shipping. is that about right?

All info would be greatfully appreciated.

THis is not the idle screw that is in the body of the carb but the one on the linkage.

Can anyone take a picture of their carb linkage and send them to me or any other advice will help???

Thanks,

The engine is solid, I have a dune buggy with this motor, and it is discussed in great detail at buggynews.com. There are members who have turboed the motor, shaved the head, port and polished, there are weber carb kits and headers for it, One guy has even run a nitro boost system successfully.

We have a four speed manual transmission, so I do not know how their CVT will hold up.
We have had issues with the CV joints, but there are fixes for that as well...do not know what this unit ships with.

I would think that you will find the same kind of problems with this as on many of the "chinese" machines. Locktite everything and make sure all of the electrical connections are good, and it will probably be decent for the price...If you do not mind tinkering...

If you want a unit that will be more problem free, pony up for the more expensive Jap UTV's

The setup is something that the average person should have no problem with. As for getting it off of the crate, I went ahead and built it in place, and then I stacked some boards behind all four tires and just happened to have some 2x10's that just perfectly into the center-section of the crate. I then just backed it off of the crate, trailer and all. I think that you shouldn't expect too much in the way of customer service, but I have found out that the majority of the breakable parts are readily available. The clutch is identical in every way to the Polaris clutch. (Probably cast off of Polaris parts.) And the whole front end is Polaris stuff. Not actual Polaris parts, but such close copies you probably couldn't tell them apart if laid side by side. Having owned 3 Rangers and a couple of Polaris 4-Wheelers I'm completely at home working on this thing. The eBike people were nice and helpful during the purchase, but I haven't had any reliability issues to really judge how they will deal with that. The engine in this thing is awesome, it is a Suzuki 3 cylinder, the same as is in the Geo Metro. No problem getting parts there. I can't see spending $13,000 dollars for a nicely equipped Ranger again, when this thing will do everything that that machine will do for half price. I think that if this thing does as well as I think it will, You will see some even cooler models in the future. I saw on a factory price list that Kazuma was developing a machine to compete with the Yamaha Rhino. While I wouldn't own any of their smaller stuff, I would easily purchase another Mammoth. I have some pics of my machine listed in this forum, and will take more pictures in the future. After roughhousing mine around for a while now, I'm convinced that it is tough enough to last.
