Default Rhino's are king!!

I posted a while back saying that my father purchased a Rhino. I got a chance to ride this beast with and without passengers. This thing has the most plush comfortable ride of any ATV I know of. The 35 mph limit is more than enough speed for this beast! I was cruisin around some logging roads (old and new) and you don't feel ANY bumps!! Fast speed is not a problem on trails it handles it great, while never reaching the limiter.

I got a chance to wheel it a little too...couldnt resist that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] It can't get stuck! I could make new trails with this thing by just drivin out in the woods and plowin over everything. You'd think goin through stuff like this would bump and jar you to all holy h*ll...but not at all, I'm very impressed!

It has seat belts which help quite a bit to keep you in the seats. It was incredibly easy to clean too! The truck bed and hood both lift up to get the hard to reach places. The engine is easy to get to, just pull off the plastic console and there she sits! Ahh the wonders of plastic. I recommend anyone who has any intention to buy an ATV like this to try this out...it will win you over in the snap of a finger.

Yamaha did it again!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Is there an easy way to bump the top end speed on the Rhino? Seems like 35mph would get old after a while.

35 mph is fast...the only time you reach the limit is on a paved road. If you think about it these machines arnt made for speed, there made for work. I pushed it when I rode it and never had one problem with the limiter. Couldn't even tell it was there and it still seems like I was haulin *****, I didn't want to go any faster thats forsure. There is an easy way to eliminate it though, I think you just get a new chip er cdi er somethin like that. Don't cost alot either.

200 bucks for the Grizzly CDI box will get you to 50's. Changing out the belt half pulleys will take you up to 62

If the engine and transsmission are the same as the grizzly they probably are limiting the top speed with the cdi box.....i think 35 would be plenty fast on a machine like that thou

Please pardon a stupid question. But what are belt half pulleys? And are they hard to change?

Don't say they're the king until you have tried them all. Mule, Prowler, Ranger, etc.
