You mean you're gonna let Ethan rebuild the motor without the manual?

Still better option than wandi touching it...that bike deserves an honorable death

I am on it Kranny! Just really sorry about all the shit that has happened with the bike. I know what it is like to not have your quad. Just want to make sure all is good when you get it back. Plus do not want you to have to turn a WRENCH on it!! 

we don't want that either roy.

That sounds like the build i had going on about 3 months ago. I kept blowing the head gasket everytime i got on it. Finally called Team Rocket Factory and got head studs for it. It was very frustrating

[Troy]

I figured out the headgasket problem well over two years ago guys, wear water resistant work out pants and carry extra antifreeze with you when you ride, piece of cake 

[Krandall]

Its so simple.

Do you have any pics of this said mod?

Found the gaskets! 

[Spartan]

Good job Roy  Now make sure you yamabond all the covers closed...

[Kamakazi]

  put in security bolts for everything, that way wandi cant ever mess with it 

[tonto13]

I think I am just gonna duct tape the whole quad like I did the motor before. I don't think kranny has the energy to undo that much tape!   

[Colorado700R]

weld that fugger shut

[Krandall]

Is it okay if I say thanks?

So.....

Yet again. Been FOREVER since an update w/ the quad.


over the course of the summer, the raptor has eaten headgaskets like skittles.

5 Head Gaskets. (I expect a letter from Cometic inviting me to their company picnic)
2 Valves + 1 valves. From the +1 valves I got. when I sent the head out to RE in... May I think ) they found the intake valves had been bent.

The last thing having issues. (thanks to phucker for helping troubleshoot this). Roy got everything put back together. Tried starting, just cranked and cranked and cranked.

Roy went over TPS, Coil, ignition, everything. Everything checked out. Ended up being. Stator was going out.

Got a new stator put in. Got word that it finally fired!!!! Head gasket holding. Quad is now @ gunny's place waiting to meet me @ Little Sahara!
