Very nice video. My 2008 Rhino 700 is not charging. I've done the stator and rectifier tests. Stator is bad. So, I've got a new stator to put in. I got started and saw the oil lines that have to be removed. That freaked me. Your video does a really good job of dealing with the oil lines and the coolant system. So, now I'm not freaked out and will continue. Also, I liked your solution to the burnt plug. I don't have that problem but it will be a nice reference for future issues. Thanks again for the video!!!
Thank you! Excellent video where I was hesitant to do it myself. I'd do it again -- just takes a little time. My stator looked fried too. I wonder what caused that? It's the 2nd one in 3 years. I've replaced the battery, the rectifier/regulator and checked all connections. For good measure I unhooked both winches and aftermarket lights and put them on a separate power source -- Don't know if that would case that but one of the winches does have a short and instantly kills the battery.

The compliments are much appreciated. Thank you!
@@thehonestmechanic Thanks again for the video. I finished my stator replacement today. It went well!
@@user-sv7vn9gr9k that's great! Pass on this info to someone who can use it!

I would assume that the winch with a short cannot be good for the stator.
I find that sometimes these stators have coils that were wound too tight which causes them to fail.
