Best SXS forum for Rhino questions

I am thinking about getting a Rhino. I know there are better SxS out there but that is what is going to fit my budget.

This will be primarily for my wife and daughter. My wife is not really into riding anymore due to a couple bad get offs and my daughter....well lets just say she just became a teenager and doesn't want to ride or even go to the dez anymore, but said she would do a SXS.

Looking at the older Rhinos so I want a place to find out about the progression of upgrades from year to year. Is FI good or bad, 450 vs 660 vs 700, what 4 seat conversions are good, what upgrades are must have, what to look for in a used one, problem areas to watch for?

You get the idea, what it the best place to get these answered.

    I have an 06 Rhino, it is the carbureted 660. I bought it new and now has 4000 miles on it. The only repair has been a rear end seal. It plows snow, pulls mowers and hauls fencing materials for me with no issues. If your budget allows I would try to stay with the fuel injected which I think started in 08 or 09. They need regular oil changes and it is very important to keep the air filter cleaned or they will start burning oil. The forums listed by KDmax are the most active I know of.

    Black Diamond,

    Here's a few noteworthy sites that are very active!

    http://www.rhinoforums.net/

    http://www.utvunderground.com/forum/

    Also raroberts makes comment about 4 seat conversions being outlawed this year, that part of the UTV safety bill was amended so at this point all the very nice 4 seat Rhino's are still very much legal in our state. Not much else is but it is a beautiful place to live.

    Here in CA, starting this year, 4 seat conversions were outlawed.

    In the past I have used the "ride side by side" forums. Google "ride side by side".


    Thanks, I checked it out but it is not really active, no new posts since early 2012.
