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...

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...

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:

Holy shit I've never had so many tire kickers in my life. Craigslist is ridiculous.  

I?m dreading listing the Jeep on CL. Sold a Vette and Nautique on there on it?s a nightmare. Quite a few 50% offers in person. I did sell the naitique to a guy shipping it to New Zealand. Figured he was full of shit until the bank took the cash. It?s still 100 out. It?ll go as soon as it cools down and everyone gets into the season.

I've got arms and complete axles with CVs for a 660. All you need is shocks to complete this kit. $1100 plus shipping.  

CustomizedRhino13

Hot rod kool aid.

Did it not work out?  

I can't find axles at a reasonable price.  

Put some together .. order axles sticks from a company that sells +6 l/t and use your stock cvs sent from a payphone  

Super atv has cheap axles Sent from my maverick using Tapatalk 2  

I don't think superatv makes +6axles for the rhino anymore.. last time I.spoke with them they said they quit making the kit so they quit making the axles... I would check with a few companies and see you can buy the axle sticks trainable and use stock CVS.. lot better than a heavy cv setup sent from a payphone  

Well I ordered a complete Twisted LT kit minus shocks. So I need these other arms and axles gone!  

$1100 plus shipping...  

Bump. My other kit will be here tomorrow...

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.

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂

+6 Long travel axle length

• Add to quote

I have a +6 long travel set up and need to know the common axle shaft length. I am not sure of the brand I bought it used. The front end keeps popping out and I am wondering if I have the right axles. I may need +6.5 axles. The shaft length I have is 22" just wondering if someone can tell me how long the shafts are for a +6 and +6.5. It acts like I need about another inch. I have not adjusted the camber/caster since I purchased the kit. I am going to run the adjustments in and see if I can get enough to make the axles work but would like to make it correct if possible. Thanks for your help.  

Our +6 front axles are 22-7/16  

THanks Jim. It seemed to work moving them in. I might have to give you a call if this doesn't work for some reason. Worked out today but the camber is off so I need to set it up and if they pop out then I will try yours.  

gorilla axels I was reading this post because i broke a driver side rear gorilla axel on my rhino. Researching on the internet it seems there are several different lengths of axels. I beleive I have a +6 kit on my rhino, bought the rhino used with the kit on it. I'm not sure who made the kit, the guy i bought it from said it may be a so cal fab kit, the axel length is 22 5/8". Is there someplace in Orange County where i might be able to get a new axel and other parts?
