Rhino 660 Speedo Install

Hey guys this is only my second post here. I have been Friends with AirborLT for quite some time. We use to ride King Quads together. Anyway... I'm installing a speedo assembly on my New/Used 2006 Rhino 660. I have the harness all plugged in and wired up. My question is this. Do you have to install the thermocouple? I found a post on here the other day.... Can't find it now.... and it wasnt real clear. Couple guys said yes. Coulple said no. Which is it? I will prob do it for good measure, but was just curious. There has to be one there to make the dummy light go off on the old crap dash. Whats the word? If I dont need to and can save this one for a spare that would also be great. Thanks guys.

Also if i do need to install that thermocouple, do i need ot put anything on the threads to make sure it seals?

Glad to see you up on here and posting. I know you will get the Rhino all decked out. Sorry I can't answer your question about the digital display.

Hook everything up and leave the old thermocouple installed. It should be the same. with the motor running unplug the wire from the thermocouple on the motor. The light on the dash should come on. Then you will know it's working. They both work off a ground and do the same thing. They should be the same.

Marty is fart smeller, uh, I mean smart feller. If he says it, I believe it.

I got it all take care of. I just went ahead and changed it. Works perfect. Got a few other small goodies put on it this evening too. I will post some pics of it when I get the rest of the goods in. More mods to come.

Looks good in the Avatar pic.

Thanks. I love this thing. Glad I finally got one. I have a few things planned to dress it up a bit. Chris, let me know if you find those decals.

Need to take it to a Yamaha dealer and get your free doors and passenger hand grip.

Yeah im going to do that next week. Talked to them yesterday about it. Said it would not be a problem.

The free doors are nice to have both for safety and helps keep you a little cleaner. looks good in the avatar for sure

I will look for the decals as soon as I get back from NC picking up my truck.
