Indeed. It looks like a GY6 type of motor.,,,which is also a really good motor.

Not really a Rhino part but another accessory I installed. The tach/hour meter, Chinese with replaceable battery, stopped working after 547.9 hours. Not too surprised since it has spent over 2 years exposed to the weather. Installed a new one with non replaceable battery to see if it lasts longer. Only $8.

Swing arm zerks
Swing arm bearing zerks.
The Rhino uses caged needle bearings on the swing arm but they aren't well sealed and not well greased from the factory. Also the inner race is just mild steel which doesn't hold up well, especially when exposed to water and dirt. I installed zerk fittings so they can be greased without disassembly. The needle bearings have a hole for grease to enter, and a groove so grease can find its way to the hole even if the bearing rotates. The zerks need to be installed about 1/4 inch from the ends of the swing arm tube so they line up with the hole in the bearing. The swing arm tube has a thin wall so there isn't much room for threads, but its enough if you're careful. Facing the zerks forward works best for my quad but mother position would probably be best if the foot wells are still in place. I also found that a washer needs to be added so the race tube/spacer can be clamped tightly by the frame to prevent it from pivoting on the bolt instead of the bearings. A couple O rings can be used to cover the spaces between the frame and swing arm to help keep out the dirt and water. http://chinariders.net/picture.php?a...pictureid=1658 http://chinariders.net/picture.php?a...pictureid=1659 |
Nice job. :tup: That should keep those pesky grease worms out.

Bushings
GET THE poly rods and cut and make them for the bushings... never wear out.. the rod is cheap... if no local supplier then they are available on ebay and other places.. maybe $10.00 a ft.. I use them all the time for the atv rear swingarm bushing... install and done... no grease or anything

Good suggestion. If this doesn't hold up I'll go that route.
