Post by: yfm700lover on May 30, 2008, 12:53:37 PM
from what i understand the c5 are cnc machined where the f3 are forged. so the c5 like to bend more than snap. and they give you a 5 year warranty with the c5

Nothing better than a freshly armor all-ed quad. My riding crew thinks I'm OCD for shining my plastics but they wonder why mine looks so good all the time  8)

Title: Re: What did you do to your Raptor today?
Post by: Yamahauler on June 05, 2008, 05:41:48 PM
F3's. But you have to make SURE you order the shorties because they make the F3 standard and the shorties. And also if you order them from a site, the 06 models are different from 07 and up. Make sure ya watch that.  :thumbs:

Oh... and yet AGAIN. UPS has failed me. Either that or some kid walked by and snatched my package. :confused:

I just pulled the protective film off the headlights. It was tough - film has been on there for two years, hundreds of miles and hours of seat time.

I will have to check my headlights this weekend now!

be sure to check the headlight fluid while your in there :thumbs:

I've always heard it was blinker fluid! And muffler bearrings. :grin_nod: I used to work in a shop and we did exhaust work so that one was popular. :grin_nod:

No, it's a real problem. And it's pissing me off. Say the quad is in gear, any gear, anytime I hold the clutch it while in gear it revs like crazy. But as soon as I let out and go back into gear it milds down. And it won't do it in Neutral either. I had to unplug a wire from the stock clutch perch, because it didn't have a spot for it on the ASV. I think the only thing the wire did was make it so the quad had to be put in Neutral before it would start, im having that problem to. So now that you know this is a real question, let me know any input.

I think that wire needs to be hooked up first off. That's the clutch sensor. I can't think of why it'd make your motor rev. I just took mine out of the stock clutch perch and ziptied it to the the wire harnes near the radiator.  That switch there's a little nub on the end of it. that when the clutch lever is at rest, pushes the nub in, and tells the computer that the lever is out and if it's in gear don't start the motor. When you pull the lever back. Nub goes out, tells computer you have lever pulled in so no matter what gear it's in, you can start it. I'd pull that switch out of the perch plug it back into the harness and try it.

in neutral, it is not revving? DOes the engine start revving as soon as you pull in the lever? Could it be the clutch cable zip tied to the throttle? I sorta had that problem when I bought my by bike. But it was only when I had bars cranked to the left and clutch all the way in. Engine would rev because throttle cable became too tight. Not sure why they were like that. If it is not that, Gotta be a short in clutch sensor? I was thinking 660, so I may not be as much help as I thought if, in fact, it is the electronics. Can you get detailed wiring diagrams for a rappy?

It was "ultimate man day" on saturday Rode quads, then shot about 1000 rounds at the range, rode quads some more. Took my boys and wife fishing (they caught more). Cleaned and ate our "delicious bass", rode quads some more. Drank a few beers.  :thumbs: I have a picture of the Rappy fishing and hanging out with a 6wheeled Argo. :grin_nod: Will post soon. It was a great day. My 5 yr old was trying to club the fish on the head to knock them out-less suffering, but he wasn't hitting them hard enough.-more suffering. :rofl:

a big -1 for cowpies. They took me riding through the timber, I felt something wet hit my arm, just figured I hit a puddle.....NO! THen I noticed later "mud" on my fenders. It was dry as a bone out there. The guy I was riding with says " I hope it's not cow$hit, there is a big black spot right above your nose."

Hope it's good for the complexion. :rofl:

American racer rear tires are $114 each, he's burnt up 2 sets of sticky Hoosiers.
For my track I HOPE they work fine, I've got under $400 invested in tires/rims.

 I installed the big 3 (Barkers, PCIII, ProDesign) and a dynatek ingition. Installed a stabilizer. Changed the oil and filter. Ordered a set of asv's, Flexx bars, wheel bearings, oury's, and brake pads. That reminds me, I need to get a spark plug. Oh and put on a new PRM grab bar. The grab would be nice, but the holes on it were drilled in uneven, so now it and my plastic is crooked. I'll yank that sucker of tomorrow and exchange it.

Put on my grab bar. Installed my DrD reverse switch. Put on the plastic. Added some seafoam. Changed the map on my PCIII, Thanks Krandall. Made about 3 test runs on it. Gps'd at 87 (stock gears and tires) and still had alil more, but the wind blew out one of contacts so I had to shut er down on the last pass. I need to see what she will do WOT with a 15.

I got my Flex bars in, so you know what that meant. I installed them bad boys and yes its worth every dollar. I also changed the setting on the accell pump through the PCIII. I did a search and general consensus is 80-20-20, so thats where I set it. Moved the ignition over to the reverse location. Seems to work pretty well. The DrD reverse has a plug for your oem reverse knob hole, so I drilled out a 13/16th's hole in the middle of the plug and put my ignition switch in it. Fits great. Last but not least I gave the flex bars a test ride. Results= "They"re GGgggrreatt!!!" Tony the Tiger

I've been out for a while damn friggin' computer died after a lightning crash :mad: Advice of the day, get a good surge protection power bar...  :mad: :mad: :mad: okay, everything fine... now.

I received ( finally ) my rear GNCC. In 21x11x9

At first, they look bad ass, but new tire always do, except cheap a$$ one  :rofl:
After mounting them, which was helluva job, I put them on and they look real nice on the raptor... Let's see what they are up to now.

I was really amazed, i mean REALLY, about how they hook up, let's just say there's nothing that i've ever tried that hooked like these, even my mxr4 were no match. 1st gear is pulling the front end up on demand, 2nd is almost the same... THey really feel like if you're on pavement, but I was actually on dirt terrain... They worth every single 0,01 cent i've put on em, which i must say wasn't sure about all the praise about these tire.

I give 'em 5 out of 5, where 4 is my goal when I rate something. 5 mean for me better than I thought.


I also received my ODI lock-on grip.. They didn't ship me the model I wanted but I'll do with it. They look really great, they "lock" to the handlebar. therefore, i'm a bit afraid of these... I mean, one side of my handle bar have some grippy surface, and that side, the lock-on really bite, but on the smooth side, I must say that I had to overtight them, over the other side to get them to clamp in place. I'm afraid that side won't hold when I want it to... But I think I have a motocross handlebar, and that's why I don't have grippy surface on the right side of the handlebar.


I give 'em 4 out of 5.

Yeah, it does look like it needs to be pushed over. I used the spacer from the stock setup. between the brake lever and the throttle. I'll probably change it whenever I get the ASV's on.

Thanks, Colorado700. I changed it back to 0-1-0 earlier.

I also installed ASV clutch and brake levers today. Man those babies are great. Being able to adjust the levers to fit your hands is a huge plus. They also look good on the bike. One thing I don't like about them is the fact that you can't mount the parking brake on em'. I had to strip my stock clutch lever holder and move it over to keep the parking brake. I'll eventually modify it to give it a cleaner look.

Even though it's not "today"

Saturday, rode the raptor for about 6 hours. Put about.. 80-90 miles on. Was a long day, but a hell of a ride.  :grin_nod:

Any idea how much fuel you used?

Thanks, Colorado700. I changed it back to 0-1-0 earlier.

I also installed ASV clutch and brake levers today. Man those babies are great. Being able to adjust the levers to fit your hands is a huge plus. They also look good on the bike. One thing I don't like about them is the fact that you can't mount the parking brake on em'. I had to strip my stock clutch lever holder and move it over to keep the parking brake. I'll eventually modify it to give it a cleaner look.

You could do like I did:

I cut the clutch lever off completely. and made it look nice  :)

Last nite, I adjusted my valves (Tight on intake, exhaust was fine)  Painted my sand rims black.  Tonight I'll be doing a full oil change, plus a final cleaning for Walden this weekend.

Aaron


For the rims, did you use the engine enamel?? I heard that was the best stuff to use....

I used the brake caliper stuff, we'll see how it holds up.  My buddy used the stuff for bumpers and it worked good too.

Aaron


Ok, I just ordered a rear set of Comp cut drag wheels with 22x11-8 tripple buff haulers in black, forgeting my front blue labels are silver  :lol: So, I gotta paint my fronts, just not sure what type of paint to use.  :confused:

are they a gloss or flat black??  my buddies turned out nice with the flat black bumper paint.  I'll try and take some pics of mine tonight of a gloss.

Aaron


They come in tonight so Im not sure, but I think they are a gloss black. Yeah, see if you could get some pics up later, that would be cool  :thumbs:

sorry for the cellphone pix, it's all I had.  The rears are painted, the fronts are stock black

Put my sand tires on my new black powdercoated rims, mounted them on the quad and ready to go ride now.
Just installed my new warning label covers I got from Carbon Covers.   The pics do not do them justice.  They are black carbon fiber with red lettering.  They do match much better than the pics show.  The look great...

Checked suspension bolts, greased bushings. Re-fabricated a a bracket to hold rear fenders on-mounting tabs are long gone, and i lost the last ones. 3m inches of mud on them broke it right off.  ----Gettin' ready for the dunes. :thumbs:

Oh yeah, "ninja'd" off the throttle to replace with rancher throttle.  I'll take a pic after the ninja strikes the rancher.   :grin_nod:

 I greased the front end. Adjusted the valves. Put on some new headlights, left one was broken and dealer sold me the right one by accident so I kept and bought a lefty. Installed 90 leds. Adjusted chain. Adjusted the handlebars a little bit. Tightened the lugs. Thats about it.

I put some on my KFX last year and love em, especially on the dunes at nite. Its easy to get seperated at times and hard to tell who is in your group. So I figured if I got seperated from the group they'd be able to find me. Been told I can be seen upto a mile away, who knows, but if at least 1/4 that then Im happy. Also put led on the tip of me flag. Works great, looks great. :thumbs:

I buy em' like this and then wire them up. Way cheaper then buying them from a dealer or shop. Most of those guys want $30-40 for a wired set of 4. A freind of mine payed $60 for a set of 4 at little sahara last year. doh

Installed the PCIII, Dynatec prog. ign. and the +2 TB.  Found out there is a slight diference between an 07 and a 08 TB. There is a vent near the throttle position switch. On the two years they exit the TB on different sides. I don't think it affects performance.

I also installed a trick quick release sixpack rack. You can take the sixpack rack off and it leaves a beefy grab bar and flag mount. I will take some pictures and post them.

I didn't do it today, but right before I went to SL. I FINALLY put on my OMI Greasable stearing stem mount. Holy hell. Seriously.. tires in the air. there was a noticalbe difference in how easy it turned vs the crappy system of the stock one.

Hey Krandall, i have some play in my stem (houser) do you think this would help that?
Title: Re: What did you do to your Raptor today?
Post by: Krandall on September 16, 2008, 10:16:06 AM
is the play coming from where the stem mounts to the frame or is it ball joint play?

If it's coming from the stem. YES this is the best option to do :thumbs:
Title: Re: What did you do to your Raptor today?
Post by: Danny T on September 16, 2008, 10:26:07 AM
well i ordered one anyone. if it doesn't fix it then that leaves the ball joint to be the verdict...

On sunday we rode hardcore in the rain. I bent a tie rod, bent my clutch lever, and knocked my steering out of alignment. My steering stem mount already had a little play but this day made it worse!

The speed sensor was unhooked while it was strapped to the dyno before any runs were made

I was considering that. How tall are you, if you don't mind me asking? Are you of sasquatch height? JK I kook forward to a ride report. My back hurts a bit when riding at slower rough trail speeds. Feels like the bars could go up an inch or two. Full bore, it  doesn't bug me because I am crouched over the bars.

Peels, I rode with the riser on Sunday.  Wow, what a diffrence on my back!!  A lot less sore and much more controlable feel while riding standing up  :clap:

I think it did pick up a touch (not bad) more vibration by extending the bars from the stem a bit, but I guess that makes sense.


All in all, I wont go back.  Great results for a cheap purchase (TQS)  :grin_nod:

yea i guess ur right, i forgot about that  :rolleyes:

well i just got back, everything was all good for the most part. i outjumped everyone  :lol:
only thing that sucked was my filter needs cleaned and i think it needs bolted in better cas it was missing hardcore at times, other times it was perfectly fine  :confused: but anyway, i almost biffed it on this big hill TWICE, i would go up it like 10 feet and let out the clutch and give it gas and it just sputtered, so i did it again, and it did the same thing, so i stopped trying...

i did get to ride 1badazz_700r's rappy  :jaw: that thing power wheelies in third gear NO problem whatsoever  :clap:

Post by: socalrappy700 on November 04, 2008, 07:43:17 AM
Thanks Randy.

Something doesn't look right there.  The lower a-arm that has the bend for the max clearance is parallel with the ground.  And there is no weight on the quad.  Once you get on the arms will be angling down and that doesn't seem right to me.
Title: Re: What did you do to your Raptor today?
Post by: Krandall on November 04, 2008, 07:48:06 AM
that's what I was thinking, to me it almost seems as they are standard travel shocks with long travel arms  ???
Title: Re: What did you do to your Raptor today?
Post by: socalrappy700 on November 04, 2008, 07:50:11 AM
Something has to be wrong.  Those arms should bend up to give the quad more clearance.

Was there any weight on the quad?  And did it look like the front end sat higher with the new set up?  It should sit higher to give you the extra clearance.

If it were a standard travel shock on long travel arms then it would sit very high if you could even get it to mount up.

that's what I was thinking, to me it almost seems as they are standard travel shocks with long travel arms  ???


If it were a standard travel shock on long travel arms then it would sit very high if you could even get it to mount up. 

standard ones are longer than long travel? ???

Take a front on shot of the quad and one with you on it.  I would like to see how it sits with a rider on it.

Thats not what I said.  Think about it.  If you put a shorter shock on the arms would sit way up.  You would have to lift the lower arm to get it to attach to the upper arm.  Its not going to happen.

The high ground clearance arms dont make the quad sit higher...they will sit just the same as any other LT arms, but the arms themselves are bent, giving more clearance there (a couple of inches).

One thing i did notice was there is a solid 2.5 inches of static sag....When jake's "petite" ;) frame gets on it, it goes down another inch+ at least.I prefer a little less sag, so I plan to bump my spring preload collars down a little to leave the arms a little further up.

I did think about it... mount the shocks to the top tower... they are shorter..... meaning you'd have to pull the arms way up to mount making the quad sit lower and have a lower profile. It's the whole reason people use shorter shocks for flat track racing... because it raises the a-arms up in turn making the quad sit lower.

Ok i pictured what you said in my head and that makes sense.


I think all Jake needs to do is adjust the shock and it should look much better.

Install my new seat. It really grabs you. A little stiff, but I expected that from what I have read. I'll put 10-12 hours on it this weekend and get back to y'all.

 :grin_nod: I sure did at the begginingof summer.Pretty steep hill with no room for a running shot. sat at the bottom and grabbed a handfull of throttle and held on. I got to the top and it stood up and just rested sidewayson the hill.Then it slid a little and tumbled.So i cut the plastics(big mistake for mud riding :lol:).

I really like it. I ride in an area that is left over from when they used to dredge the river for gold, so there are a lot of steep hills that are made of a p gravel type rock so the lower gear is nice for pulling the hills with out having to go down through the gears. third will get me to the top when i would have to shift down into second before. it also helps at sand mountain nv..

So far, yeah. I only have about 20 min ride time on them, but I got comfortable real quick with the height. Still doing some tweaking here and there. I'm 6' if that helps any. I'll do a write up Monday or Tuesday on them. If I get a chance I'll swap out my stock bars, measure them and post up pic differences.

Pulled the Corvette out of the garage, moved the Raptor out.

Started it. Fired right up.

Took it around the block.

Let it idle for a bit, shut it off. Move it back into the garage, pulled the Corvette in front of it.

Oh GERD, not that $hit again.  :help:  Dealer has two white 06's in the box still. And a 07 GYTR. Backup plan if he can't do a good enough deal on the 07 SE2.  :thumbs:  Not a bad backup plan.  :thumbs:

Hey Peels you know the front shocks on the 06,s make good boat anchors. Add that to the cost. Now days the dealer should do strange sex acts upon you just to sell a Raptor. The Discounts should be deep. My son bought a 07 for 5000$ new about 5 months ago. The only thing slower than a dirt bike dealer is Chrysler.

Also if my memory serves me right, in 07 only the Special Editions, GYTR included had the res. shocks. In 08 they all had them. They even upgraded the shocks further in 09. Good luck and happy shopping.

Just rode around, getting a feel for it.. Opened it up once or twice, but its very unpredictable at higher speeds.. I removed the airbox lid, and sprayed some foam filter oil on the filter. Took a couple pics of it.

Just giving you a hard time. I had to tap out the bolt holes for the grab bar, because I stripped one out back when I put my Barkers on. I know these damn things are weak. I bought an extra 1 a few months ago for $75 just because I know I'll break it one of these days.

I rode the crap out of mine for about 2 hours over at a backyard MX track.. The track was built and 99% of the time runs Dirtbikes, so it was kinda rough for a n00b on an ATV.. But I managed to catch a lil air.. Here is a shot the wife took with her phone as I was leaving the 1st part of a double..

This was the first time in my life Ive jumped an ATV.. and I really need to practice. Im sore, and it was rough on me. I was lucky enough to not wreck, but I wont be catching air like this anytime soon again..  :lol:

I guess I need more practice, cause it just seems like most of the jumps were VERY steep and I would go real high, but not out far enough to catch the landing. Maybe cause its set up for dirtbikes.. I dunno..

(http://i41.tinypic.com/2f06dd1.jpg)



Then I dropped it off at the dealership to get my new tires put on the front, and a new stock pipe put on (freebie). I am going to be in my first race tomorrow night with my kids.. Flat track rodeo arena oval..  :clap: We are all VERY excited!

Not hard at all!!! I was very nervous taking it apart. But like TROYWCC said this thing is easy. Just use alot of ziploc baggies and mark them. You can see one in the motor pic, there are probably 50 more with the rest of the quad being torn down. I can take more pics if you need them.

An alterative to the Trailtech can be found here
http://stores.sigmasportstore.com/Categories.bok?category=COMPUTERS
It's less than $40 shipped.  I ordered the BC 906 but haven't installed it yet.  The only drawback with the Sigma Computer is there's no tachometer.

A $40 hour meter/tachometer from Hardline Products could be installed if you Need a tach.

Its actually aluminum screen for windows.  Does not rust, bends and cuts very easily!! $5 for a roll 3 ft. by 10 ft.
The picture is just the prototype.  I am making 5 right now and got to take some time to take pictures!!

Also I will be painting a design on mine and a few other.  Got a few done for friends with a Suzuki log on it.  Gay!!!

I'm started sexifying the rappy again :)

I FINALLY got my barker heat sheild nut welded back on. It fell off in a ride we did back in November, I've just neglected to put it back on. Tack welded that baby on today. and I started cleaning the pipes. took a scotch brite pad to the rear part of the pipes. some time this week I'll finish the headers!

I used the BTS lights kit for $125, the kit offered on jokers vault is the same kit. They were very easy to install, fit perfectly and man are they bright. I tried to add some pic's but can't figure out how....this site is smarter than me. If you want PM me your e-mail and I will send them to you.

drove all over the place with it in the back of the truck.

scouting for a new place to ride, i was told about Sand Creek, just north of Jonesboro Ar.(about an hr from where im at now). so we made a day of it and went to check the place out( temps in the mid 30's today, not good for creek riding). found it, there was a wide enuff trail to fit the truck down to the creek....so yeah put'er in 4wd and went for it..took a couple vids(cant freakin get them off of the phone without sd micro :mad:).

anyway place looks like alot of fun, for a warm day :thumbs: . its got lots of trails for atvs and u can ride the creek with any type of off road vehicle :nana: :nana: :nana:

Nope, just unplugged the radiator fan wire....cut the plug off, and ran my own wire's.

1 to the neg side of the battery, the other from the pos side, to a inline fuse.. to the switch, then to the original fan wire.

i love it, but i havent been able to really appreciate it as there is way too much snow and ice arround.  i played arround with the remote dial my last run and you notice an immediate difference.  one nice feature of the unit is when pushing ur quad arround in the shop you just throw the dial on 1 and its like stock steering again.  lots of people say that they just set thier stabilizer and never touch it but i disagree, if you have it you will play with it  :thumbs:

Pulled the engine on my 660, cleaned up the frame and whatnot.

Finished install on my bro's Big 3 on his 08SE... AWESOME power increase ! Throttle response was crazy, and the low end improvement was VERY noticeable on just the quick little test ride I took it on. I wasn't able to get to a good spot where I could go WOT... plus he doesn't have any fluid in his rear brake !!!!  :batman:  I'm glad he told me that BEFORE I took a spin :lol:

Washed my quad and it wouldnt start, then it started occasionally and sometimes the starter barely worked at all. So I dug into everything electrical for the starter and found this lil guy before I got to far. This ground wire was just chillin between the bracket for the headlight. The bolt had fallen out of the headlight bracket allowing it to just bounce around. YAY for not having to buy a new starter!


And then I torched the end off my dual gasser when I was trying to bend the thumb portion to fit my hand. The thing was way uncomfortable at the track. So now stock thumb throttle needs to go back on....bummer.

and some parts to paint(headlight brackets, heel guards, overflow tank...and maybe a few other parts too)

Finally installed my OMI greasable mount. It is very nice and easy to install. The only thing that I noticed was the factory mount had metal sleves for the bolt hole and the OMI did not. Oh well, the feel is much smoother and cant wait to try it out on the trails when I get the motor back together.  :thumbs:

i used my factory sleeves to mounts mine. the holes in mine where big enough to put the sleeves in and then bolt it up like that. i think...it's been awhile since i mounted mine. i'm pretty sure that's what i did.  ???

Since I have the head off it's going back to the port sculptor for a Trex port. I should have a pretty strong trail bike after I get it back together and tuned...

No, it split into 4 equal pieces around the larger holes  in between the bolts that hold it on. It literally just...shattered. And the chain is fine, the teeth all look in good shape and the sprocket isnt that old. The tension checks out, ive checked the tension everyday since the new chain and it was perfect.

True, Renthal told me if there is any sign of the bolts becoming "loose" while riding they wont warranty the item. Only one hole looks slightly oval, ten bucks they tell me it was my fault. Any takers? I think the aluminum with the large spaces was too weak for the beating my quad goes through. But the old one is in and ready to be beaten!

Im not sure where royal blue is, but LBL ( Land Between the Lakes) is where ive been riding for years. And the trails go on for miles, some are just for jeeps and some allow you ride the lake shore for miles when the water level isnt so high. (its very high right now) You can kill a tank of gas just getting lost in the area. But the main trails are so flat and kept from years and years of people riding that I was high 3rd and 4th all over......until I wrecked  :lol: :lol: But its almost like high speed MX in the woods on the main trails, just watch out for oncoming jeeps, high 3rd doesnt bode well with a 2007 Wrangler front end.

I think after my next trip ill open up a section on riding areas around me with pictures and video links to give people an idea of what they can expect if they come to my area.

what kind of welder are you trying to use? TIG or MIG? if you don't have a TIG welder i would take it to a shop to get it fixed. but if you have a TIG heres some tips.

get a good cleaner. either clear PVC cleaner, some kind of non-residue contact cleaner, or acetone (which works really well). and get a small stainless steel wire brush.

clean all the visable dirt off the area to be welded. then take the cleaner and wipe the area down with it. then take your TIG welder and run weak AC arcs aross the area. remember here your not trying to make a puddle to weld on yet. just light arcs to draw up as much contaminants from the weld area. cast aluminum is full of contaminants. after you run the arcs on it. take your wire brush and clean it up again. then repeat this process a few times. now when you start welding take your time. because again, it's cast aluminum. wait for a good puddle to form then start adding your filler rod. now you don't want to rush because if you are rushing you run the risk of over heating the peice and then it will just break again anyway. if it's done right anybody can weld cast aluminum like any other aluminum. it just has to be very clean.

i hope this helps alittle.

i'm not sure where you live but if you were anywhere near me i could do it for you.

Clarksville, TN, my Dad spoke to me on the subject and since I was using MIG he said the best thing to do was preheat the surface after, as you said, cleaning it with a solvent like acetone which evaporates quickly. If the subframe cracks again ill have to dive deeper into it. But I also broke off the lower mount for the chain guard on the motor, so thats my next challenge!  :(

yeah your not to close to me. i would say if it does break again just take it to a weld shop. sorry i couldn't be of more help. i can aluminum MIG weld but for that job i would much prefer having it TIG welded.

I've just found that the fenders are just about useless anyway.  They block mud..nope FAIL, they block rocks...nope FAIL

Plus my headlight lenses were all blurry and didn't provide good light, so HIDs FTW :nod:

I have a stock bore, I figured I'd stroke it first. Then later on when I need more power, I can go 105 or 108. As far as the sound, it sounded exactly the same to me. I bet if I would have changed the jug to a 105 or 108 it would have made it a little deeper sounding. I think Im at a 720 with the current build. If I make it out to SL I'll let you ride it.

Put on the new RAD carrier and Lonestar Axcalibar axle. Got the front and back brakes bled. Eyeballed in the front alignment. Put on the new shoes, GNCC all the way around 21/22's. Relocated the parking brake. Dude, its been 2 months since this baby has sat on the ground. Anyhow the Motowoz are about an inch lower in the front so when I sent my rear shock off to Josh at Wiigstyle, I had him set up my shock to lower the rear 1 inch. By appearance alone I think my bike is sitting more like 2 inches lower then it used to. ??? I'm not complaining just thought that it was kinda weird.

Still have more stuff to do. I can't believe how long it's taking to put my bike back together. It only took me about 4 hours to strip it down, but I'm sure I have about 20 hours so far putting it back together.

Almost done.... :clap:

Is it just me or you have the back wheels wider then the front? that's a no no in quad behaviour!  ;)

And did you tryed to flip the link in back suspension to lower it? Or you don't like that mod?

Installed DMC force 4's, Trinity intake, and PC-5. Pluged the throttle position sensor into the wrong port, but one e-mail to Steve at Tech Quad Shop and the problem was solved. It's hard to get a good idea of what duals sound like over computor speakers. These are the first set I have heard in person. WOW!!! These things sound Totally freakin Awsome.  :clap: :clap: :clap: THANKS AGAIN TO STEVE @ TQS!!!

She was $489 without the brake line or rear chain guide. Or longer chain for that matter. Went through ATV Galaxy and they set me up with a +4. I also asked for it WITH the skid plate mounts on the bottom to protect it, because you can get with or without. 2 weeks and some change, built just for me  :clap:

I got to ride it for about 20 mins yesterday, followed my bro and his buddies around on dirtbikes. Have a wedding this weekend (sat) gone sun/mon for our anniversary. And hoping I'll be able to ride labor day weekend. Original plan was to go to an outdoor concert in Sioux Falls South Dakota. but I don't much feel like driving 5 hours. Much rather play on the quad.

FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

Has a weird kind of whine to it. I can't tell what it is.. Sounds like when a car w/ a pro-charger rolls by and it has that nice whine to it. That's sweet though man. Grats on the newfound power. Let us know how the first ride goes. 8) :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:

Title: Re: What did you do to your Raptor today?
Post by: Alkire193 on September 16, 2009, 10:06:32 PM
The whine was the oil not being soaked up around the drive gears. That was literally the first start so it hadnt gotten the oil all over yet. Thats why you see me lean over for a second. It doesnt whine anymore. And I threw on a 770 program from a guy that just got his tuned for 69 hp so if it works im going to ride this weekend just to check it out then take it to dyno. Thanks for the support Kran!

The whine was the oil not being soaked up around the drive gears. That was literally the first start so it hadnt gotten the oil all over yet. Thats why you see me lean over for a second. It doesnt whine anymore. And I threw on a 770 program from a guy that just got his tuned for 69 hp so if it works im going to ride this weekend just to check it out then take it to dyno. Thanks for the support Kran!

FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

Has a weird kind of whine to it. I can't tell what it is.. Sounds like when a car w/ a pro-charger rolls by and it has that nice whine to it. That's sweet though man. Grats on the newfound power. Let us know how the first ride goes. 8) :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:
NICE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot to install a little washer that goes on the shift lever. This is a picture of it missing.



I have it on there now, lucky I didnt have to pull the clutch to do it. Tomorrow I get fluids, test and send to dyno if all is well. I cant wait!!
that is an easy part to loose.
did it cause any problems?

Nope no issues, just was a pain to get on without pulling the clutch basket. The bigger problem is when the quad still wouldnt shift afterward. I just finished tearing down and completely rebuilding the engine AGAIN. Guess what I found! The shattering of 4th gear wasnt my fault after all! One of the gears on the drive spline ceased, and I was in 4th when it happened. The gear broke because once the tranny ceased it broke the weakest link, which was that particular gear for me. So when I went back in I found the shift drum was mis-aligned with fork "L", the gearshaft had a ceased gear causing the transmission to cease and not run AND I left some small stuff loose here and there on the outside. Yea, im a dumbass, but I got her all back together now! and she starts again! AND.......SHE DRIVES! Full on 1-5 gear test this morning when all my neighbors wake up ( and the JB Weld cures). That 770 is a loud sum bitch! Wish me LUCK!

Thursday, thursday thursday. If it takes any longer the midget that is working the dyno is going to get fed into the rollers. I didnt wait all this time to have my weekend ruined by an Oompa-loompa.

Bought a set of used Fasst Flexx bars on egay and received them this past week.  Cleaned and serviced the pivots, then mounted them up.  Also, spent the better part of this afternoon fabbing a set of heat shields for my Monsters (finally).  Not sure if I should leave the heat shields brushed or black them out.  ???

Scared off a Banshee at the trails. He went by my camp, so I went by his......sideways.........and much faster!

The numbers are in....55HP/52TQ. Im heading to Cookeville,TN (hopefully) and Velociraptor is going to take a look at the tune which runs 12.5:1 until the HP peaks then it bumps to 13:1. AND the guy didnt adjust my Dynatek at ALL, even after I bought the connector. Im really bummed. Hopefully we can pull some more from this build

Removed my busted stock heel guards and adjusted my ride height. Rear spring sucked because of the aluminum spanner nuts. Cleaned it up then helped my mom move. Is it bad that I wanted to tell my mom I was sick so I could go ride LOL

ya, just found on there website that its says use for stock pistons, just wasn't sure if they shortened the rod, required different pin height pistons, hmm, getting more and mroe tempting. Can't make the decision between, that, wheels (which I really need) or a swinger.
