It does have a speed limiter on it. I hit it today. It may only be 35, but its fast enuff for that big sucker. And the brakes on it, WOW, they will stop. We climbed the side of some rail-road tracks today, and I was suprised how well it hooked in those loose rocks, it climbed right up with 2 people on it. Ill let yall know on the products later, but were making everything u could want for it.. We got the dynojet engineer in town right now, and hes fixin to put it on the dyno to make a jet kit for it.

HighlifterV700,

Any idea as to whether the wheels are the same as the '04 Grizzly's?

I made a big gamble; bought a set of Maxxis for it...... and am wondering if they will fit?

I asked Mike (at your shop) the same question; yet we got talking about other things and I forgot to bring it up again.

Can't thank you enough for your reviews; as there are some of us out here who were seriously wondering whether we had just put money down on something that "looked good on paper".

Thanks again,

John

Highlifterv700,

Can you please help out a potential customer on the '04 Grizzly v.s. Rhino wheel compatibility question above?

Thanks!

My dealer says that the rhino is all the same equipment as on the grizz, so wheels should also be the same.

Just joined to board to give you guys some feedback. I found this site searching for information on the rhino. I put a deposit down over a month ago and the local yamaha dealer is going nuts with my calls. Here is what I know:

#1 - 2 weeks ago - green to be released in October - everybody knows that
#2 - last week - supposed to ship on October 13 and arrive within 5 days
#3 - yesterday - another local dealer said the trucker called him and he was on his way from Atlanta with his shipment and they were to arrive yesterday afternoon or today.

I am going to make some calls this afternoon to get more, updated information.

Hope this helps. If anyone gets any information, post it up.

Electricshift....several reviews have already been written. Check out some of these:

atving.com
huntingmag.com
buckmasters.com

I am also pretty sure Field & Stream did one in their last issue. All of the reviews that I have read are unbelievable - which is why I put my deposit down over a month ago.
