Very nice video. My 2008 Rhino 700 is not charging. I've done the stator and rectifier tests. Stator is bad. So, I've got a new stator to put in. I got started and saw the oil lines that have to be removed. That freaked me. Your video does a really good job of dealing with the oil lines and the coolant system. So, now I'm not freaked out and will continue. Also, I liked your solution to the burnt plug. I don't have that problem but it will be a nice reference for future issues. Thanks again for the video!!!
Thank you! Excellent video where I was hesitant to do it myself. I'd do it again -- just takes a little time. My stator looked fried too. I wonder what caused that? It's the 2nd one in 3 years. I've replaced the battery, the rectifier/regulator and checked all connections. For good measure I unhooked both winches and aftermarket lights and put them on a separate power source -- Don't know if that would case that but one of the winches does have a short and instantly kills the battery.
Hey ive got a issue with over heating on my 2008 yamaha rhino special edition, about 10 minutes or so of idleing the over heating light comes on and i smell antifreeze. far as i can tell there is not water circulating in the radiator . tested the thermastat and its opening when i tested it in a pot of boiling water, bleed the coolant lines also, so im kinda leaning toward water pump needs replaceing . what you think maybe or maybe not ?
also water in radiator is not hot when it does overheat cool to the touch , but smelling antifreeze each time it over heats, oil is clean no milk in it
