Well the front sprocket is in the mail. So maybe early next week? Darth did you still retain the use of the factory hardware?

I'm not sure as its been some time now. If I remember right I ground down there keeper clip and reused the bolts.

Best bet would be to use whatever looks in better shape and grade.

If you can get a couple of allen head screws it would give you a little more clearance around them. The chain is really close to the bolt heads on mine. Will change them out at some point over the winter.

Any ideas why the ATV is hard to start now and it backfires through the carb too. Since I switched to the Mikuni carb it's not as reliable compared to the Keihin carb. Pilot is 25 and main is 110 with 1.75 turns out on the mixture screw and needle clip on the 4 highest slot.

Thanks guy's, asking cause I know you guys are more well versed amd knowledgeable in these quads and bikes.

BTW the front and rear sprocket made a huge difference in being able to lug it around with out feathering the clutch at low speeds. And climbing hills too.

Darth, I too had to chase the threads and clean out the splines too. And had to run a file over both ends of the sprocket retainer to clearance the chain rollers. Other than that, way less involved compared to the rear lol.

Good to hear it went well and you hit it prepared. Really wish the Rhino came with the torqued up sprockets. It is a utility ATV after all. Mine officially is now.

I'm not to good with the engine stuff... Hopefully 2LZ will pop in here... he seems real good with that sort of thing. Sure some of the others here can help you too with the Mikuni ins and outs. I'm all eyes and learning on the fly at this point.

Old thread here guys.
Do either of you have a link to that 11 tooth front sprocket? Is there somewhere on Amazon?

I invested in a coolster. Could you recommend a website for buying parts and or mods. I see things like wheel spacers for these machines that i would like to investigate. Also shocks might be a priority. I have no idea where to start. Thanks.

APSCUSA.com carries parts for Coolster but won't have the parts listed on there site. But if you call Don or email them they will quote you the price on the parts.

Thanks Darth! I had a cart load of wood last weekend and it was like trying to get a big rig rolling in 8th gear.

Not sure if they changed the rear rims from the 2014 model but I recentlly just flipped the wheels with the valve stem in the inside. The rim center is offset. Now the rear wheels have the same width as the front. I'll see if I can get a before and after picture.

The Rhino is a nice looking quad. And I've thought of getting one but that swing arm looks weak to me. Its just tubing, but hey it may be stronger than it looks. I'll probably just keep the idea of putting a china motor in the TRX. Good info in this thread though, good reading.

Might not be a bad idea. I rode my neighbors 450 TRX and it's a monster. Not counting the mega-power difference, I loved the TRX suspension. The Rhino is a nice quad for the $$$, especially if you're using it for utility purposes....but man....it's like riding a ridged until the shocks wear out. Fortunately, that doesn't take too long. My buddy Swampy has the two Kandi 150 quads and those actually have some real suspension on them.

I've been looking at some other shocks for the Rhino but I usually never leave first gear around the house.

I got to take the Rhino out today prospecting. It made it up the big hill out of the creek .. Between the Mikuni clone and the sprockets it took it like it was nothing. Was towing a trailer with about 300lbs of gear.

Tickled I didn't have to use the winch this time.

Awesome news Darth! As much as I didn't want to spend that much on a couple sprockets, I think it's my next purchase.....with chain. It'll either be that or replace a clutch next season.

Well, just ordered myself an early Christmas present.
Both sprockets and a Unibear chain. Can't wait to get these installed.....especially with snow coming.

Shoot! I just now saw this! MizzouFan, you get it running right?
