that
do
not
have

Eligibility
Information:
This
modification
is
designed
primarily
for
Rhino
vehicles
that
are
in
stock
condition
or
units
with
Yamaha-approved
accessories.
Rhino
vehicles
with
other
accessories
or
other
modifications
that
have
no
effect
on
the
vehicle’s
handling,
stability,
or
operational
characteristics
are
also
eligible
for
this
modification.
Any
accessories
or
modifications
which
affect
the
vehicle’s
handling,
stability,
or
operational
characteristics
must
be
removed
and
the
vehicle
returned
to
stock
condition
before
this
modification
can
be
done.
Examples
of
modifications
which
do
not
affect
the
vehicle’s
handling,
stability,
or
operational
characteristics
include
(but
are
not
limited
to):
• Yamaha-brand
or
other
accessories
and
features
such
as
side
panel
doors,
additional
passenger
handholds,
windshields,
sun
tops,
overfenders,
seat
belts,
or
similar
changes
to
the
interior

Examples
of
modifications
which
can
affect
handling,
stability,
or
operational
characteristics
include
(but
are
not
limited
to):

suspension
components
which
could
affect
handling
(such
as
longer
A-arms
and
longer
travel

or
tires
that
change
operational
characteristics
(such
as
larger
diameter
wheels
or
tires,
paddle
tires
or
aggressive
mud
tires,
etc.)
• Engine
or
ignition
system
modifications
that
allow
the
vehicle
to
go
faster
than
designed
• Rear
seat
kits
that
make
it
possible
for
passengers
to
ride
in
the
cargo
bed.
Passengers
should
never
ride
in
the
cargo
area.
Installing
seating

| OHV
Offroad
Decal |
|
PHOENIX—
A
coalition
of
state
agencies
has
agreed
on
a
price
for
the
new
off-highway
vehicle
(OHV)
decal
that
will
be
required
in
Arizona
to
operate
most
ATVs,
dirt
bikes,
and
other
OHVs
meeting
certain
criteria
beginning
in
January.
The
“OHV
Decal”
will
cost
$25
and
will
be
issued
annually
through
the
Arizona
Department
of
Transportation,
Motor
|
Vehicle
Division
(MVD).
Revenues
from
the
purchase
of
the
decal
will
help
better
manage
Arizona’s
exploding
OHV
use
and
help
protect
natural
resources.
“This
is
the
most
important
legislation
that
I
have
sponsored,”
said
Rep.
Jerry
Weiers
(R-Glendale).
“This
legislation
will
allow
folks
to
better
enjoy
outdoor
Arizona
in
a
safe
and
responsible
way.”
The
OHV
Decal
is
a
part
of
new
OHV
laws
taking
effect
Jan.
1,
2009.
The
laws
will
require
the
annual
purchase
of
the
decal
for
any
OHV
designed
by
the
manufacturer
primarily
for
travel
over
unimproved
terrain
and
weighing
1,800
pounds
or
less.
Beginning
Jan.
1,
owners
whose
OHVs
are
currently
titled
or
registered
in
Arizona
may
purchase
the
decal
online
at
www.servicearizona.com.
After
Jan.
1,
title
and
registration
services
and
decals
will
be
available
at
MVD
offices.
The
new
laws
also
contain
other
provisions
about
titling,
registration,
equipment,
and
responsible
operation.
Purchase
of
the
decal
is
a
“user-play,
user-pay”
fee
that
will
allow
the
OHV
to
be
legally
operated
in
Arizona
as
well
as
in
other
states
that
have
reciprocity
agreements.
Revenue
from
purchases
of
the
decal
will
be
used
in
many
ways
to
benefit
Arizona
OHV
users.
This
will
bolster
the
State
Parks
grant
program
that
is
used
for
damage
mitigation,
trail
construction,
habitat
restoration
and
various
other
programs.
Game
and
Fish
will
use
funds
to
hire
new
law
enforcement
officers
specifically
for
OHV
enforcement.
It
is
also
creating
new
OHV
education
classes
that
can
be
taken
by
OHV
users
and
may
be
court
ordered
for
those
found
in
violation
of
OHV
laws.
State
Land
will
use
a
portion
of
the
funds
for
law
enforcement,
habitat
restoration
and
access
across
state
trust
lands.
Arizona
Game
and
Fish
Department,
MVD,
Arizona
State
Parks
and
Arizona
State
Land
Department
have
worked
cooperatively
to
determine
a
price
that
is
reasonable
for
all
users.
“It’s
been
a
long
time
coming,”
said
Hank
Rogers
with
the
Apache
County
Rough
Riders,
an
OHV
group
in
eastern
Arizona.
“We’re
very
happy
it’s
been
set
at
$25.
We’re
thrilled
it’s
here
and
look
forward
to
putting
the
dollars
to
good
use
for
the
benefit
of
all
Arizonans.
Enactment
of
the
laws
was
the
end
product
of
a
huge
collaborative
effort
between
OHV
groups,
conservation
and
sportsmen’s
organizations,
government
agencies
and
elected
officials,
who
all
worked
together
to
achieve
this
positive
outcome
for
Arizona’s
natural
resources
and
outdoor
recreation
enthusiasts.
