I have a 2006 rhino and only 8100 km,
Engine went again. The lower connecting rod bearing.
Well serviced and maintained.
Starting to realize I may not be the only one with this issue after I brought to my local (X Yamaha) repair person.

I have had many ATV's and never had a lemon like this.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening. Only lasted 1200 km last time.

Plan to repair and sell as I cannot rely on being in the country with this.

Great white north!!

 

I have no experience on Rhinos, but never had any trouble with "big end bearings" on Quads, they all seem to seize on the "little end" and/or piston, though liquid cooled machines may be less inclined to top end seizure than air cooled ones. If it isn't a design fault, low oil pressure due to a stuck relief valve, blocked oilway, or worn oil pump could be the culprit.
