I have a 2004 Yamaha rhino 660. I put an aftermarket cdi on and still no real change. I have factory rims and tires as well. I believe it may go faster in reverse. Can’t figure out the problem.

Have you checked the condition of the drive belt and primary sheave?

 

[Hamp363]

No sir I have not. What will be some tell tale signs once I get it apart? Thanks

Pull the belt cover off. Put the Rhino on jackstands. Start it up and give it gas. You should see the belt rise to the top edge of the smaller sheave and go down in to the larger one. If it doesn't do that, the belt may be worn or the primary sheave may have problems inside, or both.

Example of what I tried to explain begins at about the 1:30 mark of the vid below.

Okay thanks. I appreciate the help. I will let you know what the outcome is.

Any suggestions on an aftermarket clutch? Thanks

Not going there but you can find plenty of advice in the sheaves/clutch section.

Lol. No worries.
