New to site - R1 into a Rhino

[Wild Earp]

Hello, my name is Ben, go by Wild Earp on the forums. I have a 06 Rhino that I have built for racing over the last few years. I just sold my 686cc 50 HP race motor and all associate parts, in order to swap in a 172 HP Yamaha R1 motor. I will be racing short course in the SR1 class (which is designed for race rhinos using a stock R1 motor, 02-08). I will also be doing some desert racing.

Currently I am getting all the parts together, starting with a 05 R1 with 8500 miles I got off ebay. I have almost everything, except for the header, which I will probably custom make. I am just waiting on my motor mount plates, and rear carrier to get started with the fab.

I have already started to mod my harness, and have put in reverse swing CNC pedals, that will be adapted to use the stock master cylinder, and a Morse style clutch cable.

Welome to MBN Wyatt!

R1 Rhinos seem to be the rage. Looking forward to learning about the conversion so please keep us posted.

Thanks guys. Only so much knowledge about street bike motors and chain drives on the rhino forums. I dont really think I can call my rhino a rhino anymore anyways. All thats left is most of the frame..
