Havent heard it mentioned on here, but was told today that Yamaha will quit production on the Rhino's December 31. Because of the rollover lawsuits what I was told???

If that is true I bet another is in production just may end that line to avoid more lawsuits. I think its a bit ridiculous, I had mine in all kind of spots when I had one and never flipped it. How exactly you can sue over that and not an atv is beyond me. At some point you have to use common sense. I think they openend the can when they took responsibility on the first suit and then recalled to put doors on. The warning said if it goes to roll dont put your leg out and oh yeah coffee is hot.

I bet they make one that is wider like ranger..

No more need for a rhino. Have yall seen the Kawaski Teryx its the best machine on the market. The rhino just has to many faults for me.

what faults? its too small, not enough room, not as much power.... but tough as a hammer, no belt issues, no maintenance issues. that has been my experience. i hear that the teryx is burning belts left and right. they are nice though have more room and more power than the rhino. i have had bad bad experiences with polaris and so far my yamaha experiences have been all positive all the way back to the moto 80 i had as a kid.

My BBB is looking better and better but still made to Jimmyrig standards by some no customer service billy bobs.........But i have had ..No Rollovers, No burnt belts, no injuries,Tons of Power..and NO RANGE!

did any of yall have the last recall done. THey were suppose to put wheel spacers on the rear to give it a wider stance. The only issue I ever had with my rhino was the mud throwing.

no. i took my stabilizer bar off myself (rides MUCH smoother and not tippy at all - just crank up spring tension on the rear shocks), but i think the spacers will end up taking out bearings a lot faster, so i'm not going to get them done. i don't ride it fast enough to worry about tipping it over or whatever these people do to turn them over for seemingly no reason..."i was just riding down the road and turned into my driveway and it just jumped up off the ground, flipped over 5 times and broke my arm and leg... ".

i've got fender flares on mine and i still get hit with mud (swamp lites are mud chunkers) - if it take the windshield out, i get pelted from the front, as well.

What!!!! The teryx is nice but its big enough to put a tag on it a drive to work. You can't put it in those tight spots like a rhino. No side x side can for that matter. I haven't heard about these faults you talk about. Sounds like your praising what you own. you would prolly say that about a rhino if you had one. i have had rangers and rhinos and can't say anything bad about either but to me the rhino was far better, especially for hunting purposes.

+1000. the teryx is nice and spacious but they are having some issues. the same can't be said about rhinos.

I like the Rhino for its smaller size.. If they make another one.. I hope it aint too big..

one of the guys in the club has a Teryx. First day with zero miles he told me to take it through the paces. I liked it and performed well but it was brand new. I have had my rhino since Oct of 2003 and I only hunt with it. but they are tough miles mostly in water and it has worked flawlessly. If they quit I hope they do a redesign and keep them about the same size they are now.
