What should I do if my Yamaha Rhino runs out of fuel?
Turn off the engine and refuel the Rhino if the fuel gauge reads empty or close to it. All Yamaha Rhinos take unleaded gasoline only. Check the condition of the fuel in the tank if there are adequate fuel levels. If the fuel is gummy or contaminated with water, have the fuel tank drained by a mechanic or Yamaha dealer.
Are there any mechanical problems with a Yamaha Rhino?
If troubleshooting fails, the Rhino may be experiencing major mechanical problems. Yamaha recommends that only a certified dealer diagnose and repair such problems. Gasoline is highly flammable.
What causes a Yamaha Rhino 660 to backfire?
The fuel filter is plugged (crap in the tank from poor QA) and or the gas tank vent line being plugged or pinched. Both happened to me and caused backfire and shutdown problems. The tank vent only shows up after running for awhile.
What happens if the exhaust valve is not adjusted?
Exhaust valves perform a similar function, except their purpose is to allow burnt gases to leave the engine. If the valves aren’t adjusted correctly, the engine will not burn fuel at maximum efficiency. Power and mileage then dramatically decrease.

What happens if your fuel pump is failing?
The fuel pump feeds fuel to the engine at a reliable rate; without this pump, your fuel would just sit in your tank, useless and inert. If you’re attentive, you can catch the symptoms of a failing fuel pump and have it repaired or replaced before it leaves you stranded on the side of the road.
What’s the top end of a Yamaha Rhino?
A guy at our duck club purchased a Rhino in 2006. We drove it one weekend and it was doing about 53. Is that top end for a stock Rhino? The next weekend it would get up to around 35 and just start popping and backfiring. He brought it in today and it wouldnt even start.
Why does the vacuum pump increase with RPM?
These values assume the rings are in good shape (leak down is not excessive) and there are no vacuum leaks in the engine. Note that net vacuum measured will tend to increase with RPM unless “blow by” into the crankcase increases enough to reduce the negative net airflow out of the crank case, thus reducing vacuum at higher RPM.
