I recently got my hands on a 2012 Yamaha Rhino 450, and I could really use a great manual for engine repairs. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might find a solid, detailed guide?
 
You'll want to track down the official Yamaha Factory Service Manual not a generic aftermarket 1. The FSM is the definitive guide with all the correct torque values and procedures.
 
Is it just me, or do factory service manuals seem intentionally vague sometimes, like they don't really want DIY folks working on their own machines?
 
You’re on the right track there, @offroadgoofball761. The Yamaha Factory Service Manual is still the best option for that year. Even when it’s a little vague, it beats aftermarket books by a TON for specs and diagrams. Keep it close!
 
Hi folks, where can I buy the front wheel dust guards (ones that look like a drilled disc brake). I'm in NZ.
