Who does that? Well people offroading who get caught in a situation where they need to avoid a greater danger by turning the vehicle while it’s locked into 4WD, not knowing how easy the torque will put them on their side.

No one goes to the dealership and asks for a rollover demonstration to see how easy a vehicle is to rollover. The warning label states that the vehicle can tip over if you make abrupt maneuvers at higher speeds. The label doesn’t state the truth which is 3-5 mph, 4 WD locked in, sharp turn = on your side. I know, I’ve done it.

Yamaha first hands out free side doors and a passenger handle in the center of the vehicle. It’s not natural to have the passengers arm across their waist holding on to a handle so it probably doesn’t get used much.

Then they offer free spacers in the rear and remove the rear anti-sway bar to improve stability.

Because they offer these things before a recall is required, they are good boys and girls thhough they admit to no design flaws. These modifications are highly encouraged though optional according to Yamaha. If they weren’t optional then it would be a recall. But don’t get caught in a courtroom with a new injury without having had these modifications done prior to the accident. You’ll probably lose your case.

So, if Rhinos can roll over at low speeds in 4 WD, imagine what could happen at it’s top speed of 40 mph. Not that anyone should try such maneuvers.

It is insane for Yamaha or anyone else to think that people won’t get caught up in a good time and begin pushing a vehicle to the limit; Or forgetting that the vehicle is still in 4WD when they make that turn or failing to realize your 16 year old son in the passenger seat has his arm out of the vehicle while you are driving through the woods.

I have yet to see anyone, ever, in a or on a recreational offroad vehicle wearing a helmet, goggles, gloves, chest and back guards and so on especially in the hot summers. It’s just not realistic. Perhaps they should, but again it’s not realistic.
