Having a new machine is awesome, but if you can’t afford one, you can still get out on the trails and enjoy yourself! These things ruled the backroads not to long ago, and are still very capable and affordable.

[@DUNEATV]

Very well said!

[@troyray4375]

I will give you 3k for it

[@rickyarmstrong9267]

Not seen one that cheap were i live

[@arizonadirt3622]

I don’t care what anybody says that is still an awesome machine!

[@theyfavcracker]

Fr I’m 11 and my uncle has one and I drive it a lot and it’s fun

[@doc_teamwaxoffroad]

I have rode all types of machines over the years.. Had fun on all of them, just some are more fun than others..!! Took one of my ol Big Red threewheelers riding New Years Day.. Had a blast..!! 👍👍👍

[@DUNEATV]

That’s awesome

[@DerangedOffRoad]

As long as it's moves under its own power there is fun to be had. Should get one for my kids

[@DUNEATV]

Lol! So true

[@design2survive]

Went for a rip on some fire roads last week with ours. The guys I was with have all the cool new stuff but at the end of the day we were just cruising around having a good time..one of them finally just said..man this is perfect for this type of stuff.

[@DUNEATV]

Seriously! This crazy world is insane with 40 thousand dollar side by sides. It fun to be more simple and have guilt free fun!

[@francobarraza7247]

Sold mine for $3800, I put over 3 thousand dollars into it and bought it for $4800. Not a good profit at all but I was hurting for money, what I planned on doing with it is swap out with a Y1, long travel, fox suspension, much more. One of these days imma buy it back and do what I have planned, Let god hear me on this one.

[@DUNEATV]

That’s awesome bro 🙏

[@matthewyoung7246]

Back in the quad riding days We would have 4 big guys in a rhino at dumont years before the rzrs and can am's came out. Going round and around bowls trying to get out🤣 only blew 1 belt in that rhino🤣 we always scream ,RHINO MIGHT as we climbed stuff.🤣🤣 good memories. 👍👍

Yamaha rhino's are flooding the used market here in California. I was able to get a little fixer upper, nothing major just usual maintenance stuff and cosmetic issues, for $1500. Clean title and tags current. However you can get some real nice rhinos for 3-5k range all day long. Their engines are rock solid, and parts are cheap and plentiful.

[@DUNEATV]

Exactly my buddy picked this one up and has now converted it to a four seater with a backseat and roll cage. I’ll be doing a video on it soon....

[@nomaddawhat7643]

I have a 2009 700 that we bought a couple of years ago. Runs great - just a little maintenance on it. We use it on our hobby farm. It goes everywhere - no problem. Wish I had a couple more.

[@MartoriousMartuzzi]

It's true I have buds who won't get into it cause they don't wanna or can't spend 20g. But there are some choices of old reliables to play on. Old teryx's too

[@831_bikelife5]

Remember i told u that i was going to buy a yxz, well i ended up buying it for 8,800 and i freaking love it👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@DUNEATV]

Omg! How?

[@831_bikelife5]

DUNE YXZ when he saw that i was 15 he lowered the price but i have been waiting for a month i offered him it but he didnt accept it because it was too low but after like a month and he realized that i was 15 he sold it to me but im not going to lie the suspension isnt that good compared to a rzr but it will do the job but the feeling on driving a stick is awesome

[@DUNEATV]

831_bike life Thats great! Did you try adjusting the compression and rebound setting on the shocks?

[@831_bikelife5]

DUNE YXZ nope i dont know how

[@DUNEATV]

831_bike life I always start at the softest settings and then go riding. I bring tools with me and tighten as I go.Try watching a KZbin video on how to do it properly.

[@johnstjean1422]

Who ever purchase this are not to really concern of speed

[@christianmayhew2617]

I heard the typical "ratcheting" sound when you rolled back on the first attempt and @ 3:15 going downhill and applying the brakes. Nobody has ever been able to definitively tell me what causes it. From all the reading I have done in forums and on KZbin, they claim it is a rear brake issue. Nonetheless, it allegedly doesn't affect performance. It is always going downhill and applying the brakes.

[@DUNEATV]

I bought one brand new in 2005 and it made that same noise. This is a buddy of mine driving his...he just bought it the day we filmed this. Just testing it out...

[@craigmarshall40]

You need to let air out of the tires try running 10psi

[@theninja001]

Good luck finding a Rhino under $5,000

[@DUNEATV]

Yeah, prices are up! Maybe due to Covid...

[@nomadchad8243]

Hi I just resurrected a 2005 rhino from the dead. are they supposed to be yell at the passenger loud when driving down the road. It has 27" tires and goes 40mph maxed out and just screams. Ive replaced the wet clutch and rebuilt the primary but it just seems like too much rpm/noise for how fast youre going.

[@DUNEATV]

Yes that is normal if it is stock. There is a aftermarket clutch sheave that can give you more takeoff power and higher RPM. There are also aftermarket CDI boxes that allow the engine to rev higher. In the meantime you can try putting a slightly bigger tire on it. They were very loud clunky machines but were built like a tank.

[@nomadchad8243]

@@DUNEATV thanks I was hoping it was somewhat normal, I'll spend some time figuring out how to lower the rpms over all for good cruising comfort.

[@DUNEATV]

@@nomadchad8243 Yes, the Rhino was obviously built years ago and you just have to enjoy it for what it is. It won’t keep up with today’s side-by-side‘s but it is also a fraction of the cost. If you maintain it you will probably sell it for more than you paid.
