Rhino 700 Programmer/ECU

i got my weekly email from side by side action and it had a little article about Rigid Industries...they talked about the upcoming release of the new programmer for the 700 rhino's. Here it is:

Rhino 700EFI Performance.
The new 08 Rhino 700 Performance upgrades are coming soon. 4 position ignition box, from stock to 9000rpm's......plus or minus up to 20% fuel adjustment, fully adjustable. Taking pre-orders now for late May delivery. Also available is a K&N Intake kit along with single or dual exhaust
options. Be the first to open up your Rhino 700..

480-655-0100

so of course, wanting to know more, i call them. I talked to Seth, very nice guy and he filled me in. Basically said all of the above and also said that they are expecting to get an easy 10-15 mph top end. So anyone with the sheave or basic clutch mods and this new puppy should see an 60 mph, maybe more. pricing is probably going to be around $250, much cheaper than i anticipated.

boy, that is awful tempting... thanks for the info Rubicon :D

Good to see an ECU Controller coming out for the Rhino 700.

I guess I know what my next mod will be. Are they saying you can get the extra 10-15mph without a sheave or clutch mod? so this programmer could put the 700 close to 55mph without any other mods.

Heard from other sources the ECU would probably be at least $500 when a company releases it. So this $250 sounds like a great deal an cheaper than expected. Will have to seriously look into it, I would love to get rid of that 41mph Speed Limited.

^^By the way, Wheels not to copy you LOL^^

Good info man!!! I predict some fast 700's in the not too distant future.

Get ready to lighten your pockets 700 owners Although if it was me I would wait on the one from Velocity devices

yeah, i'll probably wait to get one... not sure if they will have kinks in them or not, but it can't hurt to wait awhile.. besides, i'm happy with my 700 right now.

im nnot bored yet so ill wait....only has mine a lil over a month

probably get one soon after they come out though

$250 sounds way to goo to be true - especially for programmable... it maybe $250 when they tack on MSRP for the intake kit or duals in a package...

I cant wait to see this - i just think $250 is a light estimate...

I had anticipated $3 - 4 bills.

maybe I will be wrong andI hope I am - after all - its just a fancy ignition box

Persoanlly though - I think I would also look into waiting until more companies with experience in this arena come out with one - DYNATEK or any other pure ignition box company. just IMO.

I have talked with Hunterworks several times - and they have turned away available ECU's due to the fact that folks are releasing them a lil premature without having ALL the kinks worked out.

either way - the 700's will easily be hitting 60 by summer.

the guy @ Rigid, said they are expecting an easy 10-15 mph on top end without any other mods.
Also $250 is the basic model, you can buy an "add-on" that comes with a screen or a swtich that you would be able to mount on your dash and be able to adjust the 4 levels instead of taking your seat off to do so. But seriously, everyone is going to put it on the best setting and leave it that way i'm sure....
Also DynaTek is the manufacturer that they are getting them from.

i talked to the guy, so unless he was feeding me bull, it's all true........

Did he say anything about the model that has a switch on it, the prices? Did he go into any detail about what the 4 settings would be set like?

Rubicon05 are you planning to get one of the first ones that comes out an wait awhile?

Thinking I might go ahead an get one here, might be worth 250+ just to get rid of the Rev Limiter an increase topend. Since rigid says dynatek is making it and there just rebadging it.

they have been working on this for months...i'm sure they have done the necessary testing. I'm going to buy one when they are ready....just have to find a good way to break the news to the wife yet....
i already have done the sheave mod from Hunterworks, so i'm hoping to see above 60mph by June.....

hmmmmm....

then should resemble something like this:

I am a fan of DynaTek products - Rigid is a trustworthy company - so hopefulyl everything pans out as portrayed...keep us all informed please - cause this is the mod I know every 700 owner is waiting for and wanting the most.

[quote="ATV_Rick"]Did he say anything about the model that has a switch on it, the prices? Did he go into any detail about what the 4 settings would be set like?

i just read on rf.net that the extra switch or screen or whatever it's going to be will be around another $250....just in case anyone would is interested.....
i don't think that would be necessary, especially for that much more. I know i just want to get rid of my rev limiter and maybe adjust some fuel for my AFE intake......

For an extra $250 I wouldn't even get the dash mount displays.

Rubicon have you already put your pre-order in for one? When I see they are released I will probably go ahead an order one myself. Thats all I want is to be able to get rid of the 41mph rev limiter an at least hit 50-55mph. Since I am not doing a Sheave yet I probably wont see 60 for a long time.

Who else knows they are getting one?

Rick,

i'm going to wait until the companies actually have them. I want to at least see them and read just a little more about them. As soon as they are actually available i wll be purchasing one. Plus if i can hold out another few weeks my Rhino will be paid off and it won't be such a big deal to my wife when i spend another $250 on it... :D

got this info over @ rf.net

DIRECT FROM DYNATEK:

Dynatek Announces the DynaFS Ignition System for the ‘08 Yamaha Rhino 700FI

Glendora, CA, May 15, 2008 - Dynatek is pleased to announce the availability of the new Dyna
FS ignition system for the 2008 Yamaha Rhino 700FI. Using the same piggyback controller technology
used on the popular Raptor 700 and Grizzly 700 Dyna FS ignition systems, the new
DFS7-26 for the Rhino 700 combines ignition and fuel injection control in the same module with
an easy to install wiring harness. This allows for an increase in the RPM limiter to 8000 RPM
and increased speed limits. The reverse rev limiter and forward speed limiter are also disabled.
For inexperienced drivers, there is an input to activate a 15 MPH safety speed limiter.
For additional tuneability, Dynatek offers the Remote Serial Programmer. The DRSP-1 plugs into
the Dyna FS ignition module to enable the use of the 4 pre-programmed ignition advance curves
as well as make fuel adjustments. There are 4 base fuel settings and the ability to adjust the
air/fuel ratio plus 20% or minus 17.5% in 3 rpm ranges. This wide range of adjustment will allow
the user to tune for a wide variety of modifications. The Curvemaker programming software and
cable are included with the DRSP-1. Curvemaker gives the advanced tuner access to the
advanced timing and accessory functions of the Dyna FS.

Well, I don't know much about Dynatek, but I do know VDI. Lyle is working diligently on a CDI for the FI 700 Rhino. It did awesome wonders on my King Quad. Also, he stands behind his product for sure. I don't know the ETA for the unit, but I would say sometime this summer. I already have a clutch kit sitting at the house, so once deployment is over I will be looking for a CDI for the Rhino. I would be interested to see the price difference in the two units. I know I paid 500 bucks for the King VDI. It is waterproof and a quality product.

Well after looking on NYROC again, I would say the VDI unit for the Rhino should be out soon. He is in the tuning phase.....meaning he will tweak the unit for bugs, then he should be starting to produce the unit for release. If it were me, I would wait for his unit. Most all the guys I know with a VDI for the King love it. You always have those few that are not happy (the ones that would not be happy with anything) and they may tell you different. All I am saying is I have had good luck with VDI. Also, he has great customer service if you have problems. He jumps on the forums and will shoot the breeze with you if you are running into problems. Not too many manufacturers will do that!
