I like turtles....

I dig it  

I've always been curious about the details of your Rhino. Thanks for posting up man, good luck with it and looking forward to more updates!  

Cool little machine, I was really hoping that this was going to have some good info on putting some better axles under this rig.

Glad you posted. I bought a Rhino a few years ago. They are good machines. Mine has a lonestar 6in kit with Gorilla axles. I dont beat on it too hard. Mostly a trail cruiser and backup rig. Look forward to your build and some videos if you have them.

I too love the rhinos and still wheel them currently. My first was a 04 model and after breaking several axles I learned that the 04 had smaller cv joints than the later models. After learning this I bought axles for 07 model and had way better luck with the axles. Also summer brothers sells just the shafts for +6 long arm for I think $175 each

Dan_Goodwin said: From what I've found, no axle using a stock/stock sized CV joint will work, 4130 or 300m doesn't matter. That leaves the only option to go custom, like Gorilla, Turner, RCV, Etc. Gorilla runs $450 per axle, last I checked. I have some SATV Rhino brand stock length axles I have considered getting custom axles made for, but haven't pursued that yet. Another option I'm looking into is the use of Type 1 VW axles. Back when R1 motor swaps were popular a lot of people used a Gear One kit that adapted allowed you to bolt up Type 1 axles. I happened to have one on my shelf. View attachment 117409 Since Facebook has all but killed forums (insert bitter comment here), finding some of this info has been tough. Click to expand...

Not Rigless

Rhino is coming along nicely and good work on the home renovation.

Beerj said: I don't know anything about sxs's, but I actually have a pink tub and shitter in our main bathroom. Would love to redo the whole thing but the tub is the biggest thing holding me up. Click to expand...

Dan_Goodwin said: Purely arm chair quarterbacking here. The hardest part about my tub install was getting the drain installed to the tub itself - the install and removal wasn't bad at all. Click to expand...

Beerj said: I'd be okay with replacing it if it wasn't for the fact that I believe the walls were put up around the tub/shower unit. No way to fit it through the door and make the turn down the hallway. I think my best option would be to cut the old one to pieces and just put in a new tub, then tile up the walls to make the shower portion. Sorry for the derail but in my defense, you started it. Lol Edit* Just got to looking and they actually make ones where the tub and wall portions are separate pieces. That would probably work. Click to expand...

Yamaha Rhino 660 (Everything You Need To Know)

Affiliate Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting my site.

The 2000’s saw some of the best all around ATVs ever made dominating the market for off-road vehicles.  

ATV models such as the Yamaha Grizzly 660 and 700, Honda 300EX and 400EX , and Polaris Sportsman 500 were hard to beat when it came to off-road capabilities.

While there were plenty of side-by-sides around at the time, none of them could come close to offering the same ability when it came to navigating rough terrain and trail riding.

Yamaha changed all of this with the introduction of the Yamaha Rhino 660 in 2003, which now sits firmly atop the list of best used side-by-sides you can buy for under $5,000 .

This guide will offer an in-depth review of the Yamaha Rhino 660 including how it performs, its key specs and features, top speed, pros and cons, and common mechanical issues.

About The Yamaha Rhino 660

During its ten-year production run from 2003 to 2012, the Yamaha Rhino 660 came to be known as one the most dependable, durable, all around quality vehicles of its time.

With a simple yet rugged design, the Rhino 660 looks like exactly what it is – a true utility vehicle in every sense.  Not flashy, but up to any task.

Yamaha essentially took the same technology that made the Grizzly 660 such an impressive ATV and installed it into the body of the Rhino.

The engine, transmission, suspension system, front and rear differentials, and many other components of the Rhino are the same used in the Grizzly.

And with a smaller build than most other UTVs, the Rhino 660 can go pretty much anywhere a smaller ATV can go, but while carrying a passenger and a much heavier load.

Versatility & Off-Road Capabilities

The Rhino 660 was as versatile as you’d find back in the 2000’s.

They could conquer just about any work task you threw at them.

They had just enough top-end speed to give riders a thrill when riding recreationally.

And there weren’t many places they couldn’t go – tight backwoods trails, the steepest mountain terrain, shallow water crossings – the Rhino 660 was always up to the task.

These models were some of the first UTVs that could compete with the off-road capabilities of ATVs at the time.

And their popularity likely inspired the eventual release of some of the groundbreaking sport utility vehicles that came along shortly thereafter, such as the Can Am Maverick X3 and Polaris RZR models.

Key Specs & Features

Powered by the same 660cc single cylinder engine that powers the Grizzly 660 ATV, the engine has more than enough oomph to go pretty much anywhere with an output of around 30 horsepower.

Sand, rocks, deep mud, and even the steepest of hills can all be conquered with the Rhino’s combination of impressive power and on-command 4WD with differential lock.

One of the drawbacks to this older model is the use of a carburetor.  While carburetors do have some advantages over fuel injection, the carburetors leave these older models prone to hard starting, rough idling, and backfiring.

The engine and its components can be accessed by removing the seats and center console.

Similar to the engine, the Rhino 660 is equipped with the same transmission layout used in the Grizzly ATV.

It’s a fully automatic CVT transmission, with drive shafts supplying power to the wheels.  It offers both High and Low gears, along with Neutral, Reverse, and Park settings.

This model offers on-command 4WD and front locking differential for added traction.

The Rhino 660 features a long-travel suspension with independent double wishbones and coil spring shocks in all four corners.

This suspension system does a good job of soaking up chop in the terrain so that it’s not overly jolting at most speeds, but the stock shocks are prone to overheating after prolonged use on the trail.  

This overheating will lead to less dampening, so it is recommended to consider upgraded piggyback shocks if you’ll be trail riding for extended periods in rough-ish terrain.

This model offers a solid ground clearance of 12 inches, giving it the ability to clear rocks, logs, and ruts in the trail within reason.

Tires & Brakes

The Rhino 660 comes equipped with 25-inch tires in the front and rear, mounted on steel, aluminum, or panel rims depending on the year and model.  

The stock tires vary by trim, being either Maxxis or Goodyear brand.

The dual hydraulic disc brakes in front and single shaft mounted disc brake are operated via the brake pedal and together provide plenty of stopping power to slow the Rhino in any terrain.

Dimensions & Capacities

Though the Rhino 660 lacks power steering, it is light enough at 1,049 lbs that it is overly hard to handle either way.  

With a narrow width of only 54 inches, the Rhino is no wider than a standard ATV.  This makes it an excellent trail riding option, but does leave it prone to rollovers.

And with its overall compact size, the Rhino is one of only a handful of utility vehicles that can be squeezed into the 8-foot bed of a full-size pickup truck.

The rear dumping cargo bed is roomy enough to handle around 400 lbs and makes this vehicle an excellent fit for tasks like hauling brush, bricks, or firewood.  It also offers an excellent 1,212 lbs towing capacity.

Exterior & Interior Features

Out front this model features a bumper and brush guard along with two halogen headlights.

The roll cage that helps enclose the roomy cab area has been the subject of some negativity among owners, as some claim from experience that it’s not sturdy enough to do its job if the vehicle rolls.

Another noted drawback with Rhino 660 was that the lack of side doors left riders legs exposed to the elements outside and led to some serious leg injuries for riders who were unfortunate enough to roll their vehicles.

Around 2007, Yamaha made this right by committing to install side doors on all new Rhino models and offering to install them free of charge on all previously manufactured Rhino 660’s.

Inside the cab are two seats separated by an armrest and center console area.  The gear shift is installed at the forefront of this center console area.

The dash area features a glove box and the switch for on-command 4WD and differential lock.  

Depending upon the year and model, the center dash area contains either six gear/indicator lights or a digital display with the gear indicators, fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer, and clock.

In back there’s a good-sized cargo bed that tilts up and dumps, two halogen tail lights, and a standard trailer hitch receiver.  

Yamaha Rhino 660 Top Speed

The Yamaha Rhino 660 is geared low with good low-end torque to help it excel at handling work tasks and trail riding, so top speed is not its strength.

For a totally stock model still in good shape, the Yamaha Rhino 660 top speed is between 40 and 42 mph .

For owners who don’t mind spending a little coin, the top speed can be increased to around 55-60 mph by making some modifications, including:

• Upgrading the clutch system, including the spring, weights and clutch sheave
• Upgrading to a Dynatek CDI
• Upgrading the exhaust
• Replacing the stock tires with bigger tires

Pros & Cons

While the overwhelming majority of past and present Rhino 660 owners have positive things to say about these vehicles, happy and unhappy owners alike will also be quick to note some negatives as well.

Here are the Rhino 660’s main pros and cons:

• Most mechanical components are borrowed from the already proven Yamaha Grizzly 660, including the engine, transmission, and suspension.
• Offers on-command 4WD with locking differential.
• Slim build makes it capable of snaking through tight trails.
• Compact overall size enables it to be loaded (barely) into the bed of a full-size pickup.
• Rear cargo bed and excellent hauling/towing capacities provide workhorse capabilities.
• Excellent climbers, able to crawl up the steepest hills and terrains.
• Loud engine/exhaust noise unless upgrading the stock muffler.
• Carburetor is known to cause issues with backfiring, rough idling, and stalling.
• Stock fuel pumps are prone to going bad.
• Known for being cold-blooded and taking some time to start.
• Vehicle is prone to rolling due to its narrow width and heavy build.
• Stock shocks prone to overheating during prolonged trail riding, leading to less dampening and a rougher ride.

Yamaha Rhino 660 Problems

Owners have also identified some common Yamaha Rhino 660 problems that tend to affect this model as a whole.

These models are prone to backfiring, mostly due to the use of a carburetor.

The stock Mikuni carburetor, and really carburetors as a whole, are quite prone to becoming clogged with dirt and grime over time.

The pilot jets located within the carburetor are particularly susceptible to this, and will lead to backfiring when clogged.

To alleviate backfiring, you’ll need to give the carburetor and the pilot jets a good cleaning to unclog them of any debris.

Fuel Pump Issues

The stock fuel pump in the Rhino 660 is known to cause issues, including an eventual loss of speed and acceleration or rough idling.

Owners should inspect their fuel filters often to ensure they are not clogged, which can lead to fuel pump failure.

Replacing the stock fuel pump with an electric fuel pump has netted good results for owners.

Air Filter Clogging

The Rhino 660’s engine breathes in some serious air in order to operate.

In doing so, it also tends to suck up a good bit of dust and dirt along with this air which leads to the air filter clogging rather often.

Owners should consider upgrading to a UNI air filter, which tends to work the best in the Rhino 660, to help alleviate this. 

It’s a best practice for owners to clean their air filters every 100 miles or so and replace them as needed.

While the last Yamaha Rhino 660 was produced in 2012, well-cared-for used models are just as reliable as ever.

If you’re looking for a versatile utility vehicle, the Rhino 660 is right up there with some of the better models ever made.

Yamaha Rhino +3" MTS Suspension Kit

The Lone Star Racing MTS Suspension Kit for the Yamaha Rhino is 3" wider per side and extends the wheel base 1" forward and 1" rearward. The arms are made from 4130 chromoly for superior strength and feature quick caster adjustments on the front arms. The kit will use stock length shocks but we recommend aftermarket shocks for best performance.

homemade long travel

• Add to quote

Sorry if this has already been asked, but has anyone made their own long travel a-arms? i have been looking at pictures and just dont see it as something hard to do. now granted, i havent designed suspensions before, but have design many automated assembly machines. So what do you think? also, anyone know how much the long travel moves out the shock position?  

honestly... i would rather thrash a kit with a warranty IMO  

They probably arent all that hard to build.......but you will have to build 4 jig's. And the arms are the cheap part of the LT kit  

its not just building the arms, that does suck though, but getting all of the geometry to work properly and finding a shock to work with it. i have had too many problems with a lesser kit, would buy quality next time  

Ya i really think it is easier said than done.  

LIke said above... welding up some arms is easy... its getting it right so that nothing binds and all works well.  

i'll talk it over with my inlaws the next time i am down. Call it ignorance or call it cocky, but i really think i can design it and then get the fabrication help to build it. I can do it all in 3D and the cad for the caster angles and travel or even run simulation in 3d and get it. not to mention being able to put a load on it in the model. I will read some more threads and do more research. anybody with constructive ideas and/or pictures, links , etc, please feel free to help a guy out.  

My brother is a mechanical engineer... He can work Auto Cad but even better he is an expert with Solid Works. He can cycle the suspension and test it out on the computer. He tells me that he can do it..... but we have not done it yet.  

yep solid works is the shit and if your crafty you can download it for free.  

I will bet that I could have my brother do the drawings for free.... then send them to my fabricator and have a LT Kit made for less than $500.00. If we were better welders we could do it for less than that. That doesnt include the shocks of course......  

And if it was a mid-travel kit that used the stock shock mounting location you would still need what? Axle extensions, tie rods is that about it? Seems like this would be the affordable MTS system people have been wanting!!!!  

me personally, i realize it might not end up being that cheap. however, i am will to price it out and see. i have a guy with killer prices on specific parts. I have come across many sources for varius items with my work experience. So i am not saying i am a pro and could do it better, but I am saying I can do it cheaper. If nothing else, i should be atleast 20% cheaper than buying a kit assuming you use a standard markup. so if not using tube construction, how thick are the suspension ares normally?  

shoot, somebody give me a hook up and i will start designing....(as soon as i measure my inlaws so i know all my mounting dimensions and sizes.  

I've looked into this from several difrent approaches. it seams the axles are the big expence. unless someone knows of a killer source, I havn't found them for les than $900. Where I work I am a fabricator and my Son is a machinest he runs manual and CNC machines. getting parts made isn't the issue it's coming up with a plan and working out the unforseen coupled with the cost of axles ,that makes just buying a kit seam like a pretty good option. sombody make some mid travel plans and change my mind.  

im not fighting im just letting people know what is involved:good:

i have a used dragon fire 6+ kit with fox piggybacks???  

Give us a call we will honor our show special for forum members for a little while. We have been doing this the longest, comming from a race car backround, our kits have NEVER failed. Every part is of the best quality, FK bearings, Delrin bushings, 300M Axles, Stainless Taper Pins, King Shocks, etc. Yes you will pay more for our kit, but you will NEVER be disapointed, and it will be the last kit you will ever buy!  

I can also vouch for LTI. Brian makes a GREAT kit!! My '06 is also running the LT kit and I have never had any issues. It is well worth the extra $$. You will get what you pay for.  

We sent a couple of guys down to FU2 at the show....:fingersx:  

Thanks Jim. Your ride it TRICK!  

I 2nd LTI i have an 05 and 07 that i have had on since both cars were brand new and not one issue with either of them and my 05 has 1200 hrs on it

thanks for the good words guys, its hard to be competitive when customers shop on price alone. Sad thing is how many cheap kits we have replaced or have tried to make right for customers that now end up paying more in the long run.. All our geometry is right, wont have any camber/caster/toe issues, wont have any steering issues. All parts are of top quality and manufactured in house (except nuts/bolts and bearings etc.) if anything does go wrong, just come to us, no need to track down parts from different vendors.

We aim to exemplify a culture of safety, service, courtesy, integrity, care for people, and professional development.

Rhino Staging was founded in Arizona in 1991. At that time, the working conditions for stagehands there were poor.

This was a recipe for success and Rhino’s reputation for professional service and excellent working conditions grew. This has allowed us to become the leading provider of event labor staffing nationwide. We have pioneered many positive changes in the entertainment industry and will continue to lead in safety, training, and professional service.

Rich Meredith

The Hudson Gardens & Event Center

I’m writing to compliment the crew members that worked the Super Diamond and Etheridge concerts. Both were extremely smooth operations, no issues, no concerns, and significant high praise from both tours. The Etheridge tour was especially complimentary. From top to bottom – tour manager, production, audio, hospitality, etc. they sung high praises for Rhino.

Scott Beelman

I could not be happier with the crew and leadership from Kent (Yeomans) as well as the general attitudes and experience levels from the crew that was on this event.
