DIY Diagnosing and Changing Stator on Yamaha UTV Rhino

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This 2009 Yamaha Rhino 700 was not charging the battery while the engine was running. The video shows step by step how to diagnose the stator, drain oil and coolant, remove oil and coolant lines, water pump cover, right side engine cover, change stator and crank position sensor, seal it during reassembly, proving the repair was a success, adding oil and coolant and the very unusual bleeding procedure for both coolant and oil. Everything is discussed step by step.
There are 2 things that could have been more efficient: 1) all the dirt should have been blown off of the cover and engine before disassembly and 2) Don't remove the water pump cover as requested in the manual (not necessary and requires a new gasket).

    Thanks, This info is going to save me $110.00 an hour. You even show us techniqueIts to keep us out of trouble. probably take me a all weekend. But definitely worth the effort. Thanks again. FYI. The coolant thing with the hoses. It does matter. Think of water fall effect if the flow starts at the top. Not the desired effect. Fill from the bottom. The water will fill the hole cooler. Plus the air will purge from the top.

    Good video, just finished mine. I like the template for the bolts. I used the gasket cardboard and poked holes where the bolts go. Worked like a charm.

    Thank you! Your vid was super helpful! Yes you can remove the stator housing without taking the water pump housing off. I did it and worked fine. As for the electrical connections. Look at the connectors closely, you can take a screw driver, insert it where the plugs join, twist it and connectors pop right off. Thanks again! Gave me a lot more confidence seeing it before I did it. 👍👍😃

    Great video!! Thanks for posting. When I did mine a few years back I couldn't find much info online and this would have been extremely helpful. When I pulled my cover off the gears and dowels did fall off, after the initial panic I just used the shop manual to get them all back in place with no problem. A can of gasket remover really helps a lot for getting the old gasket off without causing any damage, well worth the few bucks. Also a few dabs of grease on the new gasket really helps to hold it in place. I figured the root cause of my failure was more than likely caused by using the winch when heavily stuck in the mud and leaving the engine idling so as not to kill the battery, just a guess though. I removed the winch from the main battery and installed a secondary battery under the drivers seat with a battery disconnect switch. I just charge it before riding and keep it completely independent of the Rhino's electrical system and so far so good. By the way, I have the identical C.T. meter, it's pretty decent considering the cost. Cheers!

    I also have a 2005 yamaha rhino 660 and I'm having the same issue. There are days when the rhino starts up just fine. then it dont want to start. it has a new battery. when it doesn't start all you hear is a click noise from the relay. is the problem going to be the stator?

    If it is intermittent it might suggest a dirty ground connection at the battery or fram or elsewhere. Start by checking that first. You need to find out if the "click" is occuring with the starter turning because voltage is too low when trying to start. If voltage always stays more than 12v, the stator and rectifier regulator are not the problem. If it goes below 12v when trying to start you could have: bad/dirty battery terminals or ground to chassis/motor, bad starter, bad wiring, faulty starter solenoid. These things all need to be diagnosed one by one.

    If I change the stator on my 2008 Rhino 700, should I change the voltage regulator as well? Thank you for your great video!!! Gave me more confidence to do it myself!

    If you test and prove your stator is faulty, replace the stator. Then reconnect the wires to the rectifier/regulator and start the engine. Quickly test output of the regulator. If you have a fully charged battery , engine running voltage should be between 12.8 to 14.5. If you don't get in that range, suspect a faulty rectifier/regulator.

    If you are suggesting there is a new tapping/clicking noise after changing the stator, that would cause me concern. It sounds like a mild interference issue somewhere. I don't recall any such noise after completing this repair.

    Is it possible to change the stator without draining and replacing all the fluids or is it a necessary action for preventing spillage? I'm hopeful its not cuz that sounds like a lot more work than id like to do in my front yard 😅 I'm also certain that my stator is bad after watching this video and following the steps. It was super informative and very easy to follow.

    @@JoseRamos-ke2nh Not sure if you figured it out but your problem sounds very similar to the issues I'm having with my Rhino and following the trouble shooting steps he described in this video (found on another blog) I was able to confirm it was the stator. In your case, likely either the stator or the voltage regulator (regulator restrictor I think is the name).
