Well guess I better reply, just in case no-one else does!
Good to see you back working on the beast!
Keep meaning to ask you, Have you changed your con-rod,or are you still running stock?
Seeing as you are one of the faithful 660 few who runs your bike real hard (when it's going)
My stage 2 cam arrived today, BTW.
Can you send me some pics down your ports, I am attacking the head tomorrow in a reasonably restrained way, but would be interested to see what others have done for a build somewhere similar to my target.
The 673/11-1 is the next step for me motorwise, but am also waiting on some tripple rate works front shocks w remote ressies :).
Then I will see if I can get sufficient action from the rear, or I will be looking at a replacement there too!

My sister's fiance just had the same thing happen to his 02, though his head cover is in a lot better shape. Glad to see you working on it, though sorry of course that it happened in the first place.

if i get the head off the motor ill be sure to get you some pics of the ports but i lucked out and didnt see or feel any parts in the bottom of the motor talk about luck but the port and polish i did was just a simple matter of making the ports nice and smooth took off the rough casting inside and then polished it nice and smooth

yeah it sucks bigtime i got lucky other then the head ofcourse but i got a guy here that has a phd in metalergy and knows everything about machining if he can get the metal he can make it so i have sent my head to him and told him not rush i got all winter to tinker with this project but he fells he can weld up the head and get me back on the go anyways and it shouldnt cost me the $1,000+ that yamaha wants for a new head here
-
you can get a 660 head under 200 if you look. sometimes with some work done to them low 200's. :thumbs:

lol yeah I could I'm sure, but I rather give the work to a local place here since right now we only have the 2 good machine shops. one I sent my head to now that also does ALOT of other little jobs for me and and my father. most jobs only cost about $20 he only charged me $40 to respline the rearend and axle in my old shaft drive 4-wheeler. new gears and axle would have cost me big bucks. The other shop does my bore jobs to my cyl. For any other parts I take them to one of the only 2 yamaha dealers near me. one is a 30 min drive and Im not a fan of them as they just try to sell you everything they can even if you dont need it. The other is over an hour long drive away but they are great to deal with, very helpful and know what they are talking about. So I dont mind the long drive to get parts. Besides when Im out thier way I also get to go to the big cat equipment dealer and the john deere dealer out that way and drool over the big toys lol

well got bored today so i had to fix the problem of my dim headlights i remeber when i first got the raptor the lights were nice and bright but over time the lenses of the headlights kind of hazed over and as it does that the lights get more dim and not as bright (kinda like someone that buys a honda :P)
anyways got this little strach remover kit from wal-mart
(http://www.autoincar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/quixx-paint-scratch-remover.jpg)
I used this on the headlights first take 3000 grit sand paper and some window cleaner and wet sand the lens to get rid of the straches then dry it off very well and use the repair stuff and polish it into the headlight lens with a super clean and soft dry cotton rag till it ends up dry ssmooth and clear as new glass

Regular Car Wax/Polish and a Mothers polishing ball works WONDERS on the headlights. ;)

I hate mothers products the polish on metals just takes days to get any kinda shine with the metal polish and I found the same problem with the rest of the mothers stuff (I have pics of a cr 250 frame that I shined up for a friend he used the mothers and I used auto-sol and the mothers didnt make a difference) Ill post pics up of the bike someplace else and then Ill mod this post with a link to it. I used some turtle wax after and put 3 coats of that one and it made another big difference plus 3 coats of wax should help protect the lens I hope lol
-
Then you're doing it wrong.
<--- firm believer in mothers products. Especially the Mag and Aluminum polish
(http://www.orphanespresso.com/images/Mothers%20Mag%20and%20Aluminum%20Polish.jpg)
-
lol thats the same polish we used on this cr 250
http://www.raptorsource.com/forum/index.php?topic=6086.0
after 10 mins of each we seen a way bigger difference with the autosol and yes we did just as the tub of mothers told us to lol my friend even went over the bike a 2nd time for 2 hours after and it didnt make a difference but i went over it for 2 mins with autosol after and it turned the frame into a mirror lol he was pissed :lol: im gonna try and polish a few things on my raptor well i have it apart i donno if i will be able to do the swing arm or not as its VERY dirty and staind and the way i look at it the things just gonna get covered in oil soon as i go and lube the chain again anyways lol
-
well I got some more work done on the raptor today
the head all welded up and only cost me $20 :thumbs: beats paying the $890 yamaha wanted for a new one

i love my atv jack stand
(http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs293.ash1/22067_314194414314_513059314_3581484_7134310_n.jpg)
-
man, every time I see one of these jack stands, it makes me want one more and more!
is there a way to drainthe oil from the case?
-
lol your gonna hate me then cause I got that stand given to me for free :P
and no its like a jackable table top its about 4 ft long and 2 ft wide or so and the raptor just sits on its belly on the table. its great for doing work on tho as you have top left over on the sides of the quad to work on parts or place things right there and not lose them. I find it works great tho for putting the front wheels of the raptor on it then just jack it up till the raptor is standing on the back end, then just crack the drain plug loose and put it back down on all 4. Then drain the oil and pull the front wheels over the rest of the way and jack it up an go to work. the best part of it tho is how high it can raise up I can get my handlebars really close to the 8ft high mark so you have it set for any high to work at if your standing or sitting in a chair.
-
Thats awesome. And you suck,. you should just drill a hole in the bottom so you can drain oil through it. that'd be sweeeeeeeet!
-
yeah oh well i got my last part in now i can start putting the raptor back together tonight all i need to do now is wait for a nice day its not raining or snowing so i can finishe glassbeading the pipe and the header so i can get them painted and back on too
-
well I got the raptor fired up today she breathes fire once again (my GERD its loud) now the only problem I had with the paint on this project is that the headers bubbled up and then flaked off to bare metal again soon as I fired the bike up now i gotta repaint the dam headers again 2nd problem i had was the blue turned green in 2 places :mad: would anyone know why these problems may have happended? I lost as to why since I did it all other then bake it in the oven since it wont fit in my oven I baked it over night over a wood stove all night and went over it with a heat gun as best I could then I remebered someone on here had bakeed it by running the motor so I tryed that and as soon as the motor fired up and idled for about 5 sec the paint was blistering on the header :mad: anyways any help would be great.
what a nice matching paint

very cool aj :thumbs:
-
very cool aj :thumbs:
thanks bucky she just needs some tuning and for somereason the paint messed up so ill have to take that off and redo it :mad: but other then that she runs and just needs a good cleaning
-
Must be time to ride the beast!
-
SHE LIVES?!!!
:clap:
-
yeah she got fired up and the runs again just need to get the new batt set up for it sometime then tune the carbs some shes running a bit lean (even burnt off some of the 2000F paint off the headers so i had to touch them up) were now working on the atv lift againmaking it a bit better and gonna make some new atv ramps for to load it ono the new tacoma and take it to toyota to finish cleaing it then i can put it back together and go riding once the snow is gone
-
Awesome news AJ!!!!
It's about freaking time too!
-
hmmmm i think its running a bit hot the question is would it be the timing be lazy by a tooth? or the jetting maybe a bit to much fuel?
gets kinda warm kinda fast lol after about 45 sec of running
(http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs470.ash1/25767_364598914314_513059314_3730862_5987632_n.jpg)
yep im not putting my finger on that

glad i got paint thats good for temps of 2000F to bad it gets so hot it still just bakes and flakes the paint off
(http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs450.snc3/25767_364598929314_513059314_3730864_963340_n.jpg)
-
It's more likely to be lean than rich if it's running hot. Timing may be an issue, hard to say.

well i had the raptor out for a ride tonight shes not lazy at all :thumbs: but i think my arms are about an inch or 2 longer now but i think the old gas in it is not helping it stinks for one lol and 2 its liek she dont want to idle after a quick rev it takes a bit of time maybe the old gas gumming up some in the carbs and my temp. light wont turn off . but when the light does turn off it flickers as if its gen. powered like an old headlight from and older atv.
other then them 2 things the raptor is a trying to lift the front end in 5th gear thanks GERD i have a loose gravel driveway or it would be lifting the frontend :thumbs:
-
1. Awesome, good to hear.
2. Do canadians EVER use punctuations? :lol: ;)

Yep, but not this one when being distracted but the hot blonde gf. ;) Now I'm trying to get a hold of my dentest for her. She seems to have broke off half of one of her teeth. Bye bye raptor parts hello dentest bill. :mad: Oh well I just want her to feel better again. tooth pain sucks.
-
Was she playing hockey?
or wrasslin moose
-
Some asshole guy hit her about a year ago and cracked her tooth. It just broke off and got infected and started hurting her bad. She is in the same boat alot of us are out here with no work and no money to pay a dentest to have it fixed so I payed my dentest to have it pulled.
-
well its time i got the pics of it all back together now put up here too hopefully soon ill have video of trying it out in the yard and seeing how it will work i also bought a 14 tooth front sprocket to give me a bit more top end speed for fireroads so if anyone has tryed the stock rear tooth sprocket and the 14 tooth front just what kind of a difference am i looking at getting i know ill lose some of the bottom end take off but thats ok she has a bit to muck now anyways :P just looking of an idea of what kinda top end speed ill be looking at i think stock is somewhere around the low 70 Mph mark
all back together on the newly changed atv lift yes Krandall same lift but we made some ramps for it that just hook on to the old lift for so the ramps can be taken off to do a motor work or put the ramps on for doing oil changes and shit :thumbs:

You'll have a bit more top end, prolly around 80mph. Which IMO is too fast, there's no reason to be doing that on a quad, especially one with stock height suspension and no roll cage :lol:
Looks good, glad you've got it together.

had it out for the first ride today with the new girlfriend on back lol. the pipe im not sure about it might get repainted a light silver or a just done in black again. as the heat turned the nice blue into a nasty like seafoam green ::). but i can deal with it for now was out on a farm road and had her up in 5th about half throttle that was a good speed kinda felt a bit gutless tho. but i dont think running the gas that was in it from 2007 was helping much (i know it smelled like shit)and the fact the main jet is leaking or something as it seems to be hyrdrolocking when it sits for a bit and then it dont want to satrt. but ill give the carbs a good cleaning and tunning soon. as for the 80mph being to much with stock height suspension and no roll cage... well...........(I'm from canada eh. whats that tell ya?, shut up krandall and bananna-peels!!!!)

update so here it is quick and simple or so one would think i got into the carbs to find out why the headers were glowing so much and why it was still having a REALLY hard time to turn over and get back to low rpm well turns out it was hydrolocking thanks to the throttle shafts and seals being wore out badly well guess what the 4 little seals cost from yamaha?.................
you ready for this ? i hope your sitting down....
yamaha wants $2000 for them little seals :jaw: thier reasoning for it you have to buy a whole new carb you cant get JUST the seals or the shafts and each carb is like $1000 so for the 2 seals in each carb i would have to spend $2000......yeah not gonna happen i went online to www.motorcyclecarbs.com then looked up the Mikuni carbs well they dont have the raptor carbs so i had to look up the carbs closest to the raptor make and get the parts from that now i have the seals but the shafts well lets put it this way the carbs have been sitting at the machine shop now for about 3 weeks to have the shafts built back up and get some brass bushings made to put in them aswell to help slow the amount of wear. now im just hoping they will be done asap so i can get the raptor out for a ride on my birthday on may 7th or the weekend of.
-
dang. that's unreal that you can't just buy an oring.
I just ran into that problem sorta w/ the wifes motorcycle. headlight went out mid last week, I got off work early on thurs to ship some stuff out and I figured I'd hit up a few places to see if they have a bulb for it. (sealed beam headlight)
went to an auto store they said no.
went to a local motorcycle place, they said no and that only a dealership would be able to order it
went to the local yamaha dealer. Looked it up, none in stock. Asked if they could order one.. the guy laughed and said... Im assuming you don't want to order one. I asked why? ???
for a new headlight off a 1980 XS400..... $120 for a light.. are you kidding me?!!!
so me being the handy person I am. I tore apart the bulb. Which is the same connection as an automotive H4 bulb. And got it working again... $6 and about 1 hour of time taking it apart and making it fit. vs $120.. aww yea!
-
yeah really and man think about it a quad worth like 3-4000 and 2 parts for it are gonna cost 2000 come on yamaha way to make people just sell the quad and get a cheap hondick :mad: what the hell are they thinking thats stupid no its cheaper alot of the time now days just to go buy a new toy then it is to fix it.
-
I bought a set of second hand carbs off ebay for $90USD.
Have stripped them for spares, but the throttle shafts & butterflies still in place.
Do you want them?

nah man thanks for the offer tho you got them for spares and take it from me if your throttle shafts & butterflies wear out then your gonna be wanting them lol i think this machine shop is gonna have it all fixed for like 40-50 bucks if that i just have to wait for them to get done is all.

when this lot gets too worn, will put a set of FCR's on it!

phil already spent some time in the midwest... he is still kickin' :lol:
-
yeah I heard a few of them stories lol
so yeah anyways i got my carbs back today just gotta get them back together and on the bike and get it tuned again :thumbs: Yes the wait sucked but I only spent $50 on them and not $2,000 so to me the wait was worth the $50. I hope to have it on the go next week sometime. :clap:
-
holy smokes. $2000 vs $50... damn I'd say it went OK. :lol:

oh yamaha what do you have when you dont buy carbs from you? $1,950 bucks still in wallet :P
-
well I had the raptor out for a test ride the throttle it self is no longer sticking BUT when you even touch the gas on it then it sticks and revs high and doesn't want to idle down. we pulled the plastic covers off the top of the carbs and it seemed to work alot better I know the DIAPHRAGM ASSY is all wore out about 8thou from sand getting in the carbs a few years back when she blew the intake boots off from the airbox that has been fixed but not the DIAPHRAGM ASSY it is still wore out like i say so is there a place i can get the parts to fix that being the whole DIAPHRAGM ASSY at the top of the carbs? I was looking on the yamaha site and its showing me i have to buy all new carbs just to get ANY parts
also she has started sparknocking when you first hit the gas hard im thinking about trying some oct. boster with my next tank of gas im running 91 oct now as its the highest i can get unless i get the oct. booster with it.
any help or ideas would be great.
-
as you can see in this pic if you want one part you gotta buy every part thats inside the dotted line with it and all i want is the parts numbered #17, #19, #20, and #21 they all heav different part numbers but yamaha wont sell them and single parts they say you much buy everything inside the dotted line or (all new carbs for $1,000 a pop :mad:)

I got a (slightly) dirty, but otherwise tidy set of stock carbs off ebay for $90.
The parts you are after I was going to keep, but if you can't find them elsewhere by the end of this week, I will bring them up for you.
I fly out Sunday night (NZ time).
I will ask my local yamaha shop if they sell the diaphrams seperately, would be surprised if they didn't.

lol I dont even have an account on ebay I have no way to make one either so ebay is a no go for me.
my father was looking online he thinks he may have found the parts i need but not sure. how much would you want for the parts if i cant find them anywhere else?
-
well i found out today i can get just one part for the carbs its the one number #20, in the pic posted above but its $97 each im not paying that on a hope it will fix the reving problem when i can see that you can buy both oem carbs off ebay for $200 :mad: to bad i dont have a way to get things off ebay :mad:
-
Why not? An ebay account is free and so is a paypal one...just link it to a parent's bank account and let them control the PP account.

lol link it to a parent's bank account hahahaha that will never happen lol oh well i found a set of carbs off an 04 660 on ebay for like $100 and a friend of mine said he will get them for me and ill just give him the money for them so that will work i guess just hoping the plastic slides arnt wore out like the ones i got now or that will suck. but i will have more parts with that $100 this way then buy going out and spending $200 on just the slides and still have a chance that it wont fix it and have to go out and spend another few hundred to try and fix something else in the carbs.
-
well i gotanother set of oem carbs for the raptor it fixed the high reving problem i had once i rejetted them but now i have 2 more problems first one is now its slow to pick up the rpms and when it gets to the top on of the rpm range it wont hold the rpm steady and it picks up and drops and picks up and drops its rpm the other problem is now theres a ton of blow by im not in a good mood at all now i just put in a new piston and rings less then 20 hours ago and just running the motor for tuning only not even getting to go out for a ride yet it looks like its gonna need another set. :mad: I'm about ready to take a set of tourches to the fuckin thing. The carbs are all good nothing wrong with them from what I can see the timing on the crank is good
I'm not 100% sure about the timing on the cam thou. So I'm gonna check that sometime later on. as for the blow by tho why the hell would it eat up a set of rings so fast?
-
Did you check the ring gap before you put it in?
-
Did you check the ring gap before you put it in?
yeah it was all good. rings came with the 11:1 highcomp. 101mm wisco piston.
-
I mean did you actually put the rings in the cylinder first and checked the gap vs the spec?
-
yes I did that and it was all good
-
Was it a new bore?
or just a re-hone?
Did you check for out of round?
These larger bores can go out of round pretty easy.
These motors do have a lot of pumping within the crankcases, that is a big pistion going up & down with (comparatively) little crankcase volume to handle the pressure fluctuations.
I made my own crankcase breather system up to ensure the cases could breath easy.
If your breather isn't free enough, the back pressure on the rings can disrupt the seal

it was a new bore done to fit the piston done by armstrong the same guys that build some of the nhra dragracing car motors everything was good to go it seems strange that it would go so fast like this
-
Rings don't always bed in like they should!
What is your crankcase pressure like?
-

not sure about the pressure dont have a way to check it but odds are its gonna be high tho since every other pressure is high in the motor
-
so i went back out and thought well i best check the timing at the cam so i pulled the head off the motor and sure enough the timing was off by 2 teeth so i had to pull cam back 2 teeth now she starts alot more easy and the headers dont glow to the melting point after 30 sec of idle but now i thought ill do an oil change at the same time and when i started it up to pump the oil from the dry sump tank into the motor well its not working now the oil is not pumping now. cracked the little bolt on the head to see if any oil would come out and nothing took the dipstick out and its not even doing anything. :mad:
-
well found out why its not pumping oil the oil pump is toast all of it and the clutch basket well its got parts broken off it big parts :( and i think where it puffing blue smoke a bit ill be replacing the piston rings for sure and hoping i dont have to replace the piston.
-
I would replace the piston if it is a question and unknown hours on it...Get something like a 11:1 piston for stockbore.
-
this is a wisco 11:1 piston in it with about 30 hours on it 101mm bore
-
Well I'd check it out and make sure it doesn't have obvious signs of wear on it...rings do wear out but it could be your jug too going out of round.
-
well im sure the fact the oil pump wasnt giving it any oil might have made the rings wear out a bit sooner then they should have too lol but as of now the motor is out of the frame and in a ton of parts doing a complete teardown and checking everything now might do another bore to 102mm if i end up needing another piston
-
Yeah I would do a 102 bore...But I would be careful if the crank is still stock, cause I hear of a lot of rod failures with 660s after you put any kind of real power to them.
-

yeah 102 would be the biggest i would want to go with it after then i would just resleave it back to a stock 100mm or sell it /burn it withever gives me more money for a new one lol
