    FS ME: Tracked Yamaha 660 Rhino

    Thing is nearly unstoppable





    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tNa50JveVg

    vid is in basically a blizzard

    1+ foot base with close to a foot fresh, you can see me plowing with the bumper toward the end of the video.

    $9,500 with tracks, winch on a hitch so it can go on front or rear, custom cab, etc

    2007 Yamaha Rhino

    Engine rebuilt 10 hours ago by North Country in Oakland (My fault, no slight against the machine)

    Extended Oil Filler / dipstick

    Mud Flaps

    Wheels and Tires

    Winch upgraded to #2500 and is wired to use on front or back using standard receiver hitch

    Tonneau cover

    Summer Doors

    Cab comes off easily, just doors, just back, or all of it

    Cab is Lexan, not Plexiglas

    $9,500 with tracks and wheels

    $7,500 without tracks

    Tracks cost $4,000 new

    I have over $13,000 in this machine and it only has 1080 miles and a little over 100 hours on it.

    Have the safety recalls been done to it ?

    I don't want to poop on your sale but as of a week ago these have all been recalled.

    I don't think wheel spacers apply to the tracks on this thing though

    well, the 2 recalls are for the addidion of doors, and then rear spacers, and disconnecting of the rear swaybar

    I know for a fact it has the doors

    not sure about the spacers and disconnected rear sway bar


    This is my fathers machine, i am helping him sell

    I have driven it a bunch on tracks, and with wheels, and never found it to be tippy at all

    We went on a long trail ride, and I was amazed at how it kept up with grizzlies.

    He took it up a LONG STEEP incline with my fucking mom in it and it made it fine. we were all amazed.

    If you are that worried about rolling it, it probably isnt for you.

    Yes, still have the original wheels and tires.


    track EASILY bolt on and off.


    cab is also removable, and plenty warm in the winter, and has heat inside, but it isnt needed.

    In the summer id take the cab off, or at least take the doors off and run the half doors.


    This is basically a small jeep , really

    Yeah, I DEFINITELY wouldnt worry about it rolling on tracks, they are quite wide and stable. top speed drops with the tracks on.

    DEEP snow you are either in low range, or topping out at 10-15

    deep snow it will go closer to 20-25

    hardpack I have had it up to 35? maybe 40?

    dirt with the tires I think it will go 50+

    I know my girls grizzly will do 60, and I think this is almost as fast, despite the weight.

    Re: FS ME: Tracked Yamaha 660 Rhino

    The Rhino will do very well keeping with the grizzly's. Yamaha took a bunch of dealers into the woods last year to 'train' us on Rhino's, the new Grizzly 550 with EPS and the Raptor 250. We beat the snot out of them. They took it well. I wouldn't worry about flipping it, unless you want to The steering racks are weak points BUT it broke protecting a lot of other stuff from breaking and the Yamaha rep swapped it out in the woods to drive it back. I highly recommend one

    Thanks bro

    I dont know why the recalls

    im sure in litigation happy america, some people flipped them and got hurt, and therefore they are now required to dumb down the handling so you cant hurt yourself.

    I dont feel this machine is top heavy at all.

    Dad has a polaris trail boss 325, and a 500 HO sportsman

    he bought this so mom would go with him more, and she still doesnt go.

    he just bought a sailboat and this is up for sale. He isnt hard pressed to sell, if it doesnt sell, he will just keep it.



    I talked him into buying it.

    He originally wanted a kawasaki mule, but when we went to look at those, it was basically a glorified golf kart. Same with the polaris at the time. The artic cat was pretty nice, and much more wheeler like than golf kart like, but when we saw this rhino, its on a while nother level!

    I was most impressed by the suspension geometry, its all a-arm construction, and the front shock towers look like dessert runner take offs.

    The bed duumps, making it handy

    He used to have the tracks on the 500HO, and I think he just bought simple adapters to put them on the rhino.

    Honestly, on tires, the thing is damn fast!

    That's exactly why and what happened.


    That's a sick machine, BTW. Good luck with the sale........if only I had money to burn...
