Yamaha Rhino 660 UTV Stator Replacement - How to Diagnose/Replace

[@alexmattyspac7605]

I haven't watched all your videos, everyone I watched is exactly how they should be no nonsense know how. Great videos man.👍

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks Alex. Although I will say some of the videos do have nonsense in them. I should rename it to mostlynonsenseknowhow. Lol. But when it comes to a specific how to repair video, I always strive to keep it directly to the point

[@AndrewCamarata]

Good video. I’m interested how the pull start worked

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks man. It bolts right up on there. You just need to get the recoil pulley from a Grizzly 660. I picked that one up on eBay for like 10 bucks with shipping. And The Recoil was 40 bucks on Amazon. I tried it out a few times today and it works great! Definitely a bear to pull but with proper form it fires right up.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

It's especially handy for if the battery was too weak to crank over the engine. Using the pull start to assist a weak battery also works great. And of course it's much easier to pull alongside a weak starter

[@Gokywildcats11]

Have you done the electric fuel pump swap. My buddy gave me a 2012 hisun 500 camo dump bed for free. His dad got tired of breaking down and going dead not charging,. So Im gonna find someone who will work on this thing for me. Can't find an atv mechanic anywere

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

No I haven't had any problems with the vacuum actuated fuel pump yet. I was thinking of adding a auxiliary gravity or electric system just in case though

[@rockfordroyko6183]

thanks for this. just did this with no issues thanks to this video!

[@oby-1607]

Great video on the stator. If you do a lot of winching that may create a problem for these so what we did is install an automotive/truck battery under the driver seat and locked it down with a hold down kit. That way, the battery will help dampen the load on the electrical system when winching or using other heavy electrical load.

[@64maxpower]

Ricky Stator are really good. You made the right choice. You are great with electrics. I'm impressed. I just replace stuff. Watch the phillips on bikes. If the phillips screw has a dot on the head it's a Japanese phillips. (JIS) They use a different screw driver. You may know that. I didn't for 40 years and a ton of butched screws.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Good to hear, yeah after doing some research it seems they make a good product. I couldn't find out where they are made though. Yeah I have heard of the Japanese Phillips but never ran into a problem with any if them yet. Thanks man

[@retireunwire9535]

Thanks for the excellent video, just saved my uncle and I a bunch of headaches.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Heck yeah, that's great to hear. Glad it was helpful

[@drumsplayerdirtracer7541]

Goood video. Bit When I pulled the GYTR skid plate off there is a welded factory skidplate under it as well. Yours looks open where mine is not. I can't access the underside of the stator cover. Did you cut yours out or did it not have one to begin with? I'm about to cut it out and weld it back. Since the bigger skidblate covers not I may just leave it.

[@davidlayton4310]

Thanks for this video man lots of help here im fixing a off brand version of this and needed to know a few things and you helped really nicely

[@captaincurt3180]

Was that grounded stator responsible for the parasitic draw you found in a different video? Did the stator replacement solve the parasitic draw problem?

[@NoName-yr1jv]

Nice diagnosis ,explanation and repair 👍

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks man, I always appreciate the feedback

[@muddboss3309]

love watching you work on stuff

[@tylergallimore1844]

What kind of oils do you use to put back in

[@abacojack13]

what was the final torque spec on the 8mm bolts that hold on the stator cover???

[@benbrannan9740]

Do you have a video about the key switch issue of not starting while keeping key turned all the way to start? You had mentioned this issue in one of your videos about the Rhino. Seems it may work better just bumping start switch?

[@chaseghorley1278]

What did you do about the oil pump peg that lines up with the stator cover? I turned the crank until It felt like it lined up.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I just eyed it up and clocked it right from what I remember.

[@LORFCASTER]

Would that fan you removed be for cooling a certain sector of the engine ? A problemati area ? Or maybe its to create airflow to push exhaust gases away from the vehicle while your stationary ?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I think it's for pushing the exhaust gases back

[@MidnightS14]

⁠@NoNonsenseKnowHow still have the Rhino? If so is the Ricky’s stator still holding in strong?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yes and yes still going strong

[@jesusmelo1472]

Wow Very good video I like the content off you channel

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks man, I really appreciate you checking out the vids. If you ever have any suggestions feel free to comment them. Thanks

[@Indeewoods]

Awesome video! Hey how is that Niche top end holding up? How many miles on it now?

[@patmulvihill6020]

How about looking for a set of tracks for the rhino

[@Indeewoods]

Crazy how loose that is even after the new one is on. Best to change the sprockets as well just not wear the chain or sprockets out but sometimes you can’t just replace them or not cheaply. You think maybe when everything heats up it tightens up a bit more? Yikes that’s scary loose and seems odd for Yamaha engineering. I like the tensioner idea. Great vid.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I've seen videos of many other oil pump chains in engines and it seems that it's not uncommon to have loose chains like this. At first it was very worrisome, but seems to be normal for these. It should still have some kind of tensioner in my opinion but it's very very that they break

[@Gokywildcats11]

Oil , antifreeze and stator, what else will need to be ordered when replacement. Gasket??

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

yea

[@BeerkegGarage]

Thx for the upload 👍

[@jeremyv2711]

Great video helped me out a lot thanks 👌

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Good to hear! Thanks for commenting

[@darrell320]

will a bad stator get a rhino 660 from firing at the spark plug

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

It can. Yes

[@jonnyd511]

Great video very well put together!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks

[@marcodelacruz8598]

Hey, i followed what you did and everytbing but then i tried to start it afterwards, it would just crank and not start. Then it would do a very hard jerk and shut off. Any idea what that could be? We took it apart twice after to double check that we didnt leave any debris inside and it still does that

[@josephfleer6363]

So if you have a bad stator it WILL START WITH JUMP?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yes. The stator charging coils were bad so the battery discharged itself. The Rhino 660 will run with no battery. Unless the pickup coil part of the stator is bad, then jump start not going to do you any good

[@josephfleer6363]

Hmm interesting my rhino died on me sounds like it wants to start nothing did a compression test was given out 30 PSI put some oil in jumped ta 60 psi have spark have fuel have air could a bad stator give me that low compression reading because it's not getting enough power if that makes sense???????

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

30 PSI is way too low. Definitely not related to a stator. Next Step would be doing a leak down test to determine where your compression loss is going. And verify cam timing

[@jacobdicesare2032]

I need to bring you all some bud light and fireball lol, and the razor of course. Can't beat snow, fire, side by side and some cold drinks.

[@tearoffabite]

helped a ton thanks

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Good stuff! Glad to hear

[@harveyfitzgerald4845]

Good stuff but could use more explation on volt meter settings. Got confusing for us non-trained mechanics.

[@MotoDoc304]

For future readers the resistance test is the best test set your ohms resistance to 20k and test each terminal to frame ground should read OL for all if it doesnt theres a problem. The other test is to test voltage while running you want above 13v and relatively steady if voltage is all over the place you have an issue. I always replace the reg/rectifier with stator. Creator got away with just doing the stator but a good rule of thumb is to just replace both saves you headache down the road.

[@Karl.Car.tech.1]

nice

[@chuckpolhamus5080]

you will miss that fan

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I dont

[@Gokywildcats11]

Labor hours to replace stator

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I'm not sure. I would guess around 2 hours give or take
