~@AndrewCamarata 's Video on Rhino: • Buying a UTV
This 2005 Yamaha Rhino 660 popped up on Facebook Marketplace for $1,000. Ended up getting it for $1,600. I was told that it overheats/blows white smoke after riding it for a while and reverse only works sometimes. This video is about fixing and riding it.
Note: I forgot to mention in the video why I replaced the jug/piston. The original had rust/pitting on the walls and excessive skirt clearance. Also, I wanted to see the the 1.5 star Amazon NICHE parts were any good.(And they were NEXT DAY delivery) `

I am not only impressed with your knowledge and skills as a mechanic but you are VERY talented at making incredible videos. Not only the filming and editing but that you are very thorough in explaining what is wrong and and how you fix it. Great job.

Chris is the kind of guy you want to spend your free time around. Iv learned many valuable skills from similar mechanical minded people that were willing to let me shadow them and learn, and it has allowed me to achieve things thought I could never do, and doors to open in my life that wouldn't have been possible. I like watching his videos, not only for the good content he creates, but also the vast wealth of knowledge that can be continually learned through his and others experiences

You are THE MAN!!
Hey man. Wanted to tell you I bought an 07 rhino 660 / 686 about 3 years ago. It needed a ton of work and I spent a lot of time watching you videos along with a lot of others. That crazy machine is a beast now. Full engine rebuild, re-honed, new rings and everything else. Timing, gaskets, water pump. Thanks for making videos, they helped a lot.
Don’t worry = I’m sure jen will never leave you = BECAUSE WHEN THE WORLD ENDS = it’s people like you who will save us 😊
Snow is coming down! Time for some rhino action!
That was fun. I love your use of time-lapse. Jen adds sparkle to every video she's in.
What a great time! I can’t wait to take it out again.

You're so skilled. Your content is so impressive because it doesn't seem like there's anything you can't rebuild. You and Jen can enjoy your new UTV...
Your mechanic skills never cease to amaze me. You even improved brand new parts that you bought for the Rhino by shaving flat the head. Measuring rings and gap, another step most people wouldn’t think to do. For you however it seems basic! Way cool and super fun to watch.
I love watching the mechanics on KZread, I was a football guy coming up in hs and college, Man I wished I'd taken interest in even just learning the basics , I'm doing it now, but watching these guys on here like Chris, Vice grip, Sleeperdude these guys are my new sport's stars....lol. bunch of gifted people in the auto mechanics field, Some real superstars here on KZread , I'm just fascinated.

Never too late to start. I was a computer technology nerd first. Got a mechanic job late 20s Very basic mechanic job. Then made a mechanic friend at work who came to find out made his own small business fixing these. Started as a tool bitch drinking beers and handing out tools on Saturdays and basic part replacement jobs. Now I'm rebuilding a 2002 Yamaha Bear Tracker he gifted me it's great fun.
Most guys whine about slipping a .002 feeler gauge, like you did. But, all the fancy measuring is BS. You did it simple, and straight forward. Fantastic.
You two are the most awesome couple ive ever seen! You guys have so many adventures and so much fun and i almost forgot about Guss so you three!
Editing these must take an eternity. Best videos on utube. Keep em coming.
Great video! It amazes me that people have the patience to tear in to things like that and the knowledge to put it all back together. Major props!

Lol, “She does not like gears”!
What a taste in music, young folks, April 26 1992, insane in the brain. Part of the fun is seeing if I know all the songs.
😅Great videos' Jen is a real trooper Love all your videos.
I am a fan of Andrews channel for years, now that I've discovered yours its a whole set! Going through every video with a smile :) greets from Croatia!
Sublime, Mobb Deep and Beastie boys in one video?! I knew you were a man of exceptional taste.
I know I'm late commenting on this. But I just want to contribute a tip about glass. The back side of a mirror is the flattest glass surface you can easily acquire. The reason for this is during production of the glass, when a liquid, the bottom is flatter than the top and so when making a mirror the silver coating is applied to the bottom to reduce optical distortion. So when using glass to back sandpaper I learned to use the back of a mirror to get the flattest surface.
Brilliant video, I could watch these all day. 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Poor Jen she's the best you're so lucky God bless you both you know better
Good fix up. I have had my bolts come loose on my wench before.
Need to get yourself a tow strap to go around the trees, and maybe a snatch block. If you haven't already install a light bar above the windshield. Definitely a roof.
Rapidly becoming 1 of my fave youtubers
Thanks for the video If you have any future problems you're going to want to use head studs with nuts And install a battery and relay cover You do not want your electrical system covered in road grime These rhinos have a reverse speed limiter that goes faulty You can just cut the wire and grounded out
Best Rhino Video I've seen on KZread. Bring on the other ones!!

Hot damn, will do! Thanks
Your videos are great , the content is very interesting, you are a terrific mechanic. Jen is adorable (but you knew that). You are putting people like "Vice Grips Garage" "Auto Auction rebuild" " Puddin something" "Matts Offroad Recovery," "Fab Rats" to shame. Good ones are: Mortse, Andrew Camarta, South Main Garage, Junk Yard Digs, Junk Yard Mook, Sleeperdude, Streetlegalcars are real good also. You are the real deal.
You wash those metal filters out with kerosene.,or diesel fuel to.& Blow out lightly with air blowgun tool to dry out the filter to. I seriously suggest you trying some of that copper coating spray.&STP bars stop leak additives to in.& On your new atv.,or utv all terrain vehicle.
Used the same kit for my machine, 3 years later still going strong
What a great toy / workhorse... Props to Jen for the Miller Lite beer...
I've watched quite a few of your videos and all I've ever heard you listen to was country and I think old style rock and roll. Cypress Hill?? I love it! You've got many layers my friend! Thanks for the videos Chris!
You solved the problem! How to make a Rhino fast. Just record driving and then play in hish speed! The trick is though you need to talk very slow in a low of voice as possible
She doesn’t hate you, making a memory, got your steps in for the day
just joined the channel recently and I'm enjoying you being you bud, learning a little to boot! looking forward to more projects. well done with your scuba truck revival...
Would love to see part 2 and the changes and additions you mentioned. Let’s go… can’t wait to see it.

I've been shooting some footage for a part two, but it's nothing extravagant. Just going over odds and ends that I've had to fix and some stuff I've changed. Should be posting it within the next month or two once I get some footage to wrap it up.
Welllll, today i took the rotating plate out of the bottom of my microwave and cleaned it so that makes us pretty much the same person 🤣🤣🤣.. I've been binging your channel for 3 days now and I'm soooo impressed brotha.. You definitely earned my sub and follow
i really want to get a Rhino. seems like a capable but slightly entry level fun/practical machine!!! Really cool to hear the Andrew Camarata connection!
Hose clamp ring compressor...just awesome!!!
EPIC CHRIS AND THE J.SUGENT lifting the hood was so funny!
Love you post’s! I didn’t make the conversation between you and Andrew! Even though I watched the episodes with you in it! You and your lady friend?! Or wife make a lovely couple! She reminds me of my wife when we first got married! Love all your little pets! We’ve had lots of little friends from the bush here in Australia! Must say you must have a shortage of cops! We would never be able to take just any vehicle on too the road! Not even back roads!
I'm sooo impressed by your skill of mechanic I can stop the see your video. And always sharing your success with your wife well done. Marcos form Puerto Rico
Great job your Channel's going to go far, you have all the things that we like to watch. Keep up the great work. Give Gus a hug.
Enjoy all these videos and love how you jump in and tackle what would be intimidating projects to most of us. Also liked hearing old cypress hill and your taste in music in all these videos. Thanks!
Dude you got the best helper in the world,she's a cutie and a keeper....love your videos.
Your talents, along with Jens, make for the perfect automotive / mechanical / entertainment KZread channel 👍
You both are a cute couple and love your project Rhino. Well done.
Yes. Part 2 I personally like the UTV/Motorcycle realm. Thks for pulling the gas tank on the Tow truck have been looking for videos of such.
Love this video. We’ve been looking for one since you posted this and finally found an 05 660 last night that needs a new timing chain. Cant wait to get it going and have some adventures as well.
Definitely a part 2. I'd like to see you fabricate that heater you were talking about.
it is fun too go thru the property for parts then the vehicle, nice job. Always enjoy watching you having all the fun, good score!
This is an Awesome Channel!! This dude knows is stuff and gets after it!!! Love it!!

Great video. Yes, it would be great if you have a 2nd video on the upgrades to this Rhino if you still own it. Thank you for posting
It’s a good video your home made glass grinder idea is very helpful. I suppose to offer the rebuild kit at such a low price they are cutting a few corners. Your rich mechanical skills are well suited to enable you to rebuild the machine so quickly.
Your girlfriend is AMAZING for putting up with this old turd of a side by side in the middle of no where in the middle of winter and a total brake down. Now that’s a keeper.
I think you should add a CB radio to your Rhino 660, Never no when ur cell won't work an call Jen on ur home base when your out an about in the snow or whenever,,like your shows keep it up, Later.
Love u from Malaysia. Such a sweet and smiley Jen. 🇲🇾🇺🇸
Wow great work and even better time. Awesome
Jen is a great lady. You are a very lucky man.
I just bought me a 2007 660 sport, it needs a bit of work but I’m still impressed by it 👍🏻👍🏻
Love your videos and that Jen participates in some. Loved her kitchen remodel. Great job. Is there anything you can't fix? Do you ever say No to a project or started one and gave up on? I would think all those years of sitting that seals and things would be dried up, rotting and such.
I'm really enjoying my Xmas binge of your vids.. Expecting allot more great content for the new year too
I agree best rhino video ive ever seen..You rock Chris..
I had the "blipping" issue on a polaris four wheeler. It was EXACTLY like that. It was just the key switch. EASY fix.
Add a Led light bar to the front you'll love it. Thanks KS for the great vidio.
By far the best video you've done. Nice job man.

The keyswitch starter wire is pulling amps away from the coil when trying to start , need to look at back of keyswitch and relocate coil wire on keyswitch or to its own 12v source.
Yes I would like to see part 2
Hi Chris, I've binged watched your videos for the past 8 months now and I'm a novice mechanic myself, but I'm not afraid to take advise from highly skilled mechanics such as yourself. I like watching the videos that you post alongside your wife Jen, and doggie Gus. In this video on fixing the Yamaha rhino 660 UTV I've heard you say that the headlights suck, I highly recommend that if it takes headlight style/size headlights to get the Hikari 2023 future 30000 LM LED bulbs 65w Titanova LED high lumens 6000k cool white Ip68 waterproof headlights, They are not really 30,000 lumens as advertised, more like half that at 15000, they're a bit pricey at $130, but well worth it. I can easily see 500 ft to about 1,000 ft ahead of me, and they have a wide viewing angle for in your case on the trails for potential danger with animals crossing your path. I'm in no way being sponsored by Hikari, I just like their products, and I've tried over 20 different types of styles of headlights, based on durability, brightness, and quietness. And these by far beat the rest. You said you wanted to put a light bar on the rhino, well with these headlights you will not need that light bar... Good luck..
Double recovery having the truck worked out 😊
Would really like to see a part two. Those are good little rigs. You may have a bad switch.👍👍
Smartest guy on earth 🌍
Glad you did a part 2.

You have a good voice, like you could narrate tv shows.

I just rebuilt the engine on my rhino 660 after dropping 3 valves, bored 50 over now, runs great now but it cranks for awhile after sitting for a minute. Best solution was I installed an outboard primer bulb to the crab Fires first crank after a few pumps..give it a shot if you still have starting issues
@NoNonsenseKnowHow

Damn that's crazy yours dropped three though. It seems like these things have quite a few engine problems. Thanks for the input. My starting problem is actually rectified. After putting a new stator in it due to the fact that it wasn't charging, it cranks up perfectly every time now. So I'm thinking something was wonky with the pickup coil.

Picked mine up for cheap in a barn and it dropped the valves in the garage idling so I'm still ahead. Your video reminds me alot of how my venture has gone with the 660. Love my rhino now. Keep it up!
You have to do the LED pod light swap on the headlights. $15 on Amazon, cut off the mount and drill and tap and the slip right in where factory headlights go. Best decision I made on my Rhino. There’s a YT video on it.
It has a winch we’ll just pull it tree by tree by tree. 😂. Great editing, got a lot packed into 35 minute video.
