These are what I ordered. You'll have to get slightly longer bolts to replace the stock ones. Thery're not quite long enough to get the nuts on properly.

Thanks 2LZ, ordered a pair. Kinda strange they'd stick a axle like that on there where there is that much difference.

Don't think I haven't thought about this myself and have asked about it. Here's what I've been told:
1- My CB dealer said, "It turns better and more easily with the staggered front and rear tires."
2- So it fits in the crate.

Probably both are a line of crap but hey, it's better than no explanation at all!

I can see how solid rear axle quad would turn better with a narrower rear track. It'd be easier to get more of the weight onto the outside tire, and the inside tire wouldn't have to slip as far. At least that's my theory.

I think it's to fit the ATV into a smaller crate. More crates per shipping container more profit.

MizzouFan · 09-16-2016, 08:56 PM

Too bad these bikes don't have IRS. Loved the ride and how the suspension articulated with IRS on my former Yamaha big bore Grizzly 686. But I'm sure that would add to the cost of the unit.

Oh and I went ahead and purchased a Mikuni VM26 clone off eBay for $39 shipped from the west coast.

Sold something so had funds sitting in PayPal. What jets y'all think I should get? Elevation here is roughly 900ft above sea level. Thanks fellas!

And 2LZ I tried reverse install on rear and didn't do a bit of good. I can easily see what you mean by crab stance

. Wheel spacers will be a priority too.

It looks like the Rhinos are coming with LED headlights now. Can you give us a closer look at those? I got my ATV just a few months ago but it came with the standard bulbs. I've since upgraded to LED and will detail in a post soon after my other mods.

I think a 110 main, and a 25 to 27.5 pilot jet would be a good starting point on a stock "230cc" engine with no intake/exhaust mods

?

I'm sure Weld will be by soon to help narrow down the right jetting

Weldangrind · 09-17-2016, 10:00 AM

I don't ride at that elevation, so I'd only be guessing. I'd start with Azhule's recommendation and tweak from there.

Go here and go down to post #69. Weldangrind was kind enough to put all the info together.

http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...t=15117&page=5

I'm running a 115 main and a 30 pilot, but it's a bit rich, especially for my elevation (3000').
I'd suggest you try a 115/30 and a spare 110/25, just in case as Azhule says, especially if you're going to stay with the stock bazooka muffler. They're cheap enough. I'm running an FMF TC2 on my Rhino. Opened up the breathing nicely.

Swampy's new Kandi quads has the LED lights. He says they're equally as worthless as the regular bulbs.

Darth Racer · 09-17-2016, 04:08 PM

They probably saw my headlight mod posted here... Hahahaha sounds like they got it wrong though.

Additional lighting on the way, will give a review.

Darth Racer · 09-19-2016, 05:36 PM

What did you get Swampy?

MizzouFan · 09-19-2016, 07:52 PM

What's the best way to check alignment of the counter shaft sprocket and rear sprocket, and tools required to perform the task at hand? Something I've never did but am willing to learn this so I can also check my boys and girl Coolster ATV's too.

Thanks fella's!
