Missing bolt on Rhino 660

[Rezz_davis]

So my friend and I were doing a little maintenance on his '06 Rhino 660 this weekend, nothing crazy, just checking things over before the next trail ride and guess what we find? yep... I'm missing an engine bolt, not loose, not sheared just straight up gone and we have no idea how long it's been like that, so now we've been wondering if it bounced out somewhere between the mud pit and the creek crossing last trip. No wonder I been hearing an odd little vibration under throttle, my buddy thought I was just imagining it. so now I'm here for us, anyone else ever had bolts pull a disappearing act on their rhino? Is this common or do I just have a drama queen of a UTV?

It's a common problem... You already got the clue with that odd vibration you're talking about so yeah you got missing engine or motor mount bolts. Check the others because the rest might be loose too. You don't wanna lose them too.

Yeah make sure make the rest of the bolt are tight, I think something might have caused that bolt to back out over time, like vibration or heat

nope, not common lol. you probably should get the replacement, now that you realized it's missing. this is why it's important to do regular checks, especially after tackling rough terrain like mud pits and creek crossings

Yeah, missing bolts on a Rhino 660 are more common than you'd expect. Vibration and bumpy trails can shake things loose. Just make sure you get the right bolt and tighten everythin properly. Also, take a look around for any dammage. Once you fix it, the vibration should stop
