SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Seatbelts
Seatbelts should always be worn when in the Rhino
• Drivers must be 16 years of age or older and have a valid motor vehicle license.
• Children less than 16 should never drive a Rhino.
• Passengers should be tall/large enough to place both feet flat on the floorboard with their back flat against the bucket seat back and be able to reach the passenger hand holds.
• Seatbelts should be worn at all times.
• Protective gear includes: Helmet, eye protection, gloves, over-the-ankle boots, long sleeves and long pants.
• Drivers and passengers should remain inside the vehicle at all times.
• The Rhino is designed for off-road use and should not be operated on public roads. Avoid paved surfaces whenever possible.
• Do not drive aggressively or recklessly.

RESPONSIBLE RIDER CHECKLIST
Yamaha’s OHV Access Initiative promotes responsible off-road vehicle operation. Here are its tips:
• Learn and follow your local riding area’s (national forest, state forest, private park) rules and regulations for riding gear, age restrictions and safety course recommendations and requirements.
• Only use current trail maps and local travel reports to avoid improper travel
• Inspect and clean your machine before riding at a new location. This prevents the spread of invasive species and makes you look more responsible.
• Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule and inspect your machine for leaks or problems that could impact the environment or the vehicle’s performance.
• Set a positive example, especially in front of non-riders, youth and inexperienced riders.
• Leave the riding area in better shape than when you found it.
• Be aware of animal habitat. Stay on the trail and off sensitive areas (streams, food sources and nesting areas).
• Never chase animals with your machine or hunt from it.
• Watch out for other trail users and be aware of private property.

Yamaha Rhino 700 FI Sport Edition Close-Up
Our test fleet consisted of Yamaha’s Rhino 700 FI Sport Edition I and II models. Version I came in a Brushed Aluminum finish ($12,399) and Version II in the stunning Red Midnight Armor skin with subtle flame undertones ($12,499). These models cost more than $1,500 extra due to their special-edition graphics and water-dipped plastic and included accessories.
