Should I buy a new Rhino?????
just one last thing. i know of 5 rhino owners that i ride with all the time. only problem ever was with a 04 660. after a cdi swap along with a rectifier and dail-a-jet and uni air intake kit the rhino would over heat after about an hour. this rhino was also thrashed on a daily basis and should have had more wronge with it then it did.

Different driving techniques maybe?

Had the same problem with mine as TPR did. It ran out of gas on hills and was a b!tch to start afterwards. This was on the second tank of gas. Had the fuel filter replaced and it fixed the problem. I think I'll put one of those big honkin automotive type fuel filters on it instead of the little one it comes with.
Buy it!!!! You'll love it. Just get the low profile sun shade for it...the Yamaha model won't fit in my hauler!!! ;(

Come to find out we had the apparently common problem of plastic shavings in the fuel tank and it was blocking the fuel flow which robbed some power.
It runs a bit better now.

That is pretty funny though.
