Sun Coast Cycle Sports carries inspected used parts for the Honda Big Red MUV700, a utility side-by-side vehicle produced from 2009 to 2013. The Big Red uses a 675cc liquid-cooled fuel-injected single-cylinder engine with a three-speed automatic transmission and selectable 2WD/4WD with locking front differential. Designed for work-oriented utility tasks, the Big Red features a hydraulic tilt dump bed, independent front and rear suspension, and automotive-style steering. Every part is inspected, photographed individually, and ships from our Odessa, Florida facility.
Big Red MUV700 generation and parts compatibility
| Model | Years | Engine | Key details |
|---|
| MUV700 | 2009-2013 | 675cc single, liquid-cooled, EFI | 3-speed auto, 2WD/4WD with diff lock, hydraulic dump bed, IRS front and rear |
All 2009-2013 Big Red models share the same platform with minimal year-over-year changes beyond color options. Parts interchange freely across the production run. The 675cc engine is unique to the Big Red and does not share components with Honda's ATV lineup. The Big Red was discontinued after 2013 and replaced in Honda's UTV lineup by the Pioneer series, which uses a completely different platform. No parts interchange between the Big Red and any Pioneer model.
Common Big Red MUV700 failure points and replacement parts
CV boots and joints: The independent suspension and 4WD system use CV joints at all four corners that are exposed to trail debris. Torn CV boots lead to joint contamination and failure. Regular inspection and prompt boot replacement prevent expensive CV joint failures.
Dump bed hydraulic system: The hydraulic dump bed system can develop cylinder leaks, pump failures, or control valve issues over time. Hydraulic fluid level and cylinder seal condition should be checked regularly on working machines.
Automatic transmission: The three-speed automatic transmission can develop clutch pack wear under heavy loads, manifesting as slipping or delayed engagement. Transmission fluid changes at regular intervals help maintain clutch pack longevity.
Cooling system (heavy utility use): Slow-speed utility work with heavy loads stresses the cooling system. Radiator cleaning, thermostat verification, and fan operation checks are essential on Big Reds used for demanding work applications.
OEM parts scarcity: Discontinued since 2013, OEM parts availability from Honda is declining. Used donor machines are an important parts source for maintaining Big Red vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Will Honda Pioneer parts fit the Big Red?
No. The Pioneer series (2014+) uses a completely different platform with a different engine, transmission, and chassis. No parts interchange between the Big Red MUV700 and any Pioneer model despite both being Honda side-by-side UTVs.
Q: Is the Big Red engine shared with any Honda ATV?
No. The 675cc engine is unique to the Big Red MUV700. It does not share components with Honda's TRX ATV engines or any other Honda powersport platform. Engine parts must be sourced from other Big Red donor machines or NOS Honda stock.
Q: Can I use Honda Pioneer parts on my Big Red?
No. The Honda Pioneer series (500, 700, 1000) uses completely different platforms from the Big Red MUV700. Different engines, frames, transmissions, and bodywork with no parts compatibility. The Big Red's 675cc engine, three-speed automatic transmission, and hydraulic dump bed system are unique to this model. When sourcing parts, only other Big Red MUV700 donor machines provide compatible components for the chassis, drivetrain, and bodywork.
