Why is the belt burning on my Massimo Offroad Vehicle?
- RRichard SandersAug 3, 2025
Belt burning issues on your Massimo Offroad Vehicle can occur due to several reasons: * Loading the ATV into a pickup or tall trailer. * Starting out going up a steep incline. * Driving at low RPM or low ground speed (approximately 3-5MPH/ 5-8km/h). * Insufficient warm-up of ATV’s exposed to low ambient temperatures. * Slow and easy clutch engagement. * Being stuck in mud or snow. To resolve this: * Never operate the ATV on hills steeper than 15 degrees. * Dismount the ATV after first applying the park brake and perform the 'K' turn. * Drive at a higher speed. * Warm the engine for at least 5 minutes to make the belt more flexible. * Use the throttle effectively for fast clutch engagement. * Shut off the engine, dismount, and pull the ATV out of the mud.
