YAMAHA RHINO 700 - BATTERY WON'T CHARGE


Go to solution Solved by LarryLarryQuiteRepairy,

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Background: Bought a used 2012 700, added 2 small LED lights, wiring for a sprayer and changed front CV axles. 

Had no electrical issues until recently. The old battery stopped charging so we got a new one, Rhino still wouldn't charge it.

-Started next day, drove 15-20min, then out of nowhere the check engine light came on and temp too. 4WD started to automatically engage and disengage repeatedly. Charging display started jumping all around between 11 to 13 to 15v.

-Relays, fuses, and battery connections seemed good.

-Continuity on rectifier would jump btwn OL and 00.0

-Rectifier wires from stator all read 20-21v at idle

-Rectifier diode test had 1 bad reading. So, I replaced it with a new one (but still using original plugs) 

Started it up, still shows no change (12.1v idle, 12.8 with some RPM)

Also, I feel like now I maybe also smell burning plastic?

Does anyone have experience with this problem or have a recommendation of where to go next?

      I have  a bulldog i bought from home depot in 2013.  In the last season it started refusing to shift from neutral to either forward or reverse.  I changed the trans axle fluid and made sure the cables were lubricated and free.  With a lot of coaxing, I can sometimes get it to shift.  once I start driving it, things improve until I let it set awhile.   Any suggestion on where to go from here?

      Hi Joyner Gang
      New to the Joyner group. I'm making long travel for the 1100 Sand viper. I'm trying to make something that will work as well or even better than the RZR Rino etc. At this time the front has 14" travel rear has 16" of travel. Still developing the suspension. comets are welcome. Ask questions and I will get back to the Forum

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks

      Hi all. I am in dire need of some help. Through our university, we are competing in the Baja SAE competition. It is a collegiate engineering design competition to design and manufacture an off road dune buddy.
      To cut to the chase, we were donated a 2011 Hisun HS 700 UTV, and we are using suspension and drivetrain parts off of it in our design. I am in the process of ordering new parts, but I am coming to a standstill.
      Does anyone have any experience ordering parts for these machine?
      From what I have found online, these machine were sold by Tractor Supply, along with a few different brands that share the same parts (Supermach, Coleman, Massimo, etc.)
      Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
