I have almost finished re-building my Raptor.
Been a long slow process, mostly due to being away from home too much for work, but It is almost finished.
I still have some painting & things to do to make it look pretty again, & then some dyno time to ensure I'm getting the most out of it.
I have taken various pics & note during the course of the build, & I will (eventually) put it into the thread in chronological order to give you some idea of what goes into a serious build.
However, 3 things I have learn't today:
1/ 719cc Raptor will pull wheelies in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th, followed very shortly thereafter by hitting the 9200rpm rev-limiter
2/ I may need to swap the quick-twist for the standard twist throttle, currently acts as a light-switch! Part Throttle, what is that?
3/ Always double check the lock-tabs on the output shaft nut (holds the front sprocket on the shaft).
I now need a new nut & lock-washer....................
Apparently the 39mm FCR's are supposed to lack bottom end, I couldn't tell, was too busy trying to get the front wheels back on the ground & change gears :-)
You know when you get that little noise in the back of your head saying re-check everything?
Listen to tht voice.
I lost the nut of the output shaft, & spilt a little oil on the drivedway. Could have been much worse! If that had come off while I was in 4th gear, front wheels pointing skyward, at full noise, the damage to the bike & myself could have been considerable. Double-check the re-check :-)
