Yep they tip ... we go on manly ***** to the wall rides .... of course I am a girl ... but experienced ... been going to the dunes for years now ... but I replaced the seat belts with harnesses .... added a wrist strap for the passenger to keep their arm in .... and went to an upholstery shop and they put these cool side panels on to keep your feet in. I still tip it but so far no injuries ...

I just got off the phone with Yamaha ... they can put wheel spacers in ... has anyone done this and how has it helped???

Has anyone done anything else creative to lower the center of gravity???

I have 2" wheel spaces on mine and yes it feels less tippy but it is also harder to steer.

I have 1" aluminum spacers on mine and I can feel a little bit more stability. I only feel the tippyness when I drive it on the dirt around my property. When I first got it I tried a donut as a test just to see how it would fair. It 2 wheeled slightly, actually fairly easily. That was my lesson, limitations learned. I now make easy turns on the dirt. As other people noted, it's an utility vehicle/RTV, not a race rig.. In the sand where I use it 95% of the time, I don't get any tipiness.

Where is a good place to pick up the spacers? Internet .... cheapest? Is there a quality difference I should look out for? What size? 2" spacers best ... 1-1/2" ... Still looking for other creative ways to keep my Rhino on its wheels ...

SPACERS ROCK. PUT YOUR SUSPENTION TO THE SECOND NOCH SO THE SPRING IS ALMOST AT ITS MOST UN-COMPRESSED PIONT, GET THE 1.75" SPACERS OFF FROM E-BAY (MAKE SURE YOU GET BILLET ALUMINIUM SPACERS) AND PREPAIR FOR A WHOLE NEW RIDE.
