2011 Rhino 700 FI Auto 4×4 Sport Edition

For the 2011 model, Yamaha has given the Rhino a new steering wheel and adjustable seat belt providing more rider comfort in off-road conditions. New to the Rhino line is a White Armor Sport Edition that features fully adjustable piggyback shocks, one-piece cast aluminum wheels, injection-molded sun top, over fenders, Baja-inspired front carry bar, and a special graphics treatment. The Sport model also comes with dealer-installed LED tail lights, custom shift knob and black bed rails.

Key Features:

• The Sport Edition is ready to go with fully adjustable piggyback shocks, one-piece cast aluminum wheels, injection-molded sun top, over fenders, and Baja-inspired front carry bar. Also included are dealer-installed LED tail lights, brushed aluminum shift knob, and cargo bed rails.
• Comfortable interior with automotive-type controls: Stylish steering wheel, left-side foot brake pedal/right-side foot accelerator pedal, centermounted console shifter and parking brake lever, turn-to-start ignition switch, indicator lights and 12-volt accessory outlet.
• 686cc liquid/oil-cooled, four-stroke engine and light weight add up to an excellent power-to-weight ratio and great performance.
• Industry-exclusive fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission with dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive and reverse is the most advanced drive system available. Maintaining constant belt tension reduces wear, gives great throttle response and provides industry exclusive all-wheel downhill engine braking.
• Industry-exclusive three-position On-Command® In/Out 4WD feature lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD— all with the simple push of a button.
• Fully independent four-wheel suspension: double wishbones front and rear deliver 7.3 inches of wheel travel and 12.1 inches of ground clearance; five-way preload-adjustable shocks provide maximum tire contact and amazing comfort while navigating rough terrain.
• Thick bucket seats and that great long-travel suspension system work together to provide the smoothest ride in the industry.
• Designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA.

Engine:

• 686cc engine puts out a broad powerband. Four-valve head with 9.2:1 compression bumps power and efficiency.
• Electronic fuel injection ensures peak performance in nearly all conditions and elevations, along with instantaneous cold starts.
• Four-wheel disc brakes provide unsurpassed stopping power, and the parking brake is super-convenient.
• Dual-range (Hi/Lo) drive with reverse taps into more pulling power in low and more performance in high.
• Console-mounted dual-range (H/L/N/R) shift lever provides positive Ultramatic® transmission operation.
• Sealed drive case keeps out water and debris, and a hand-operated side cover drain lets out what little gets in.
• Specially designed full stainless-steel exhaust system features aluminum heat shields and a screen-type spark arrestor for superb power characteristics with minimum noise output.
• Large-capacity aluminum radiator and oil cooler with fan-assist delivers maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.

Chassis/Suspension:
