My grandpops asked me to repair his 2011 Yamaha Rhino 700.. it's been sitting in their storage space for a couple of years now. I need recommendations on which crankshaft and connecting rods to use. First, should I go with stock or hotrods? Anyone also had a good opinion about CP-carrillo rods?
 
I'd go with Hot Rods for a reliable rebuild. CP-Carrillo is great if you're looking to spend a little extra. I'm excited to see what you choose. Sounds like a fun project
 
Are you planning to keep it stock for casual use, or thinking about upgrading for more power or trail performance?

yep, agree with ya. Hot Rods crankshaft and connecting rods offer a good balance of increased strength and reasonable cost compared to stock
 
CP-Carrillo is top tier if you want bulletproof strength too..but probably overkill unless you're building for real big power.
