Raptor Chapter

Well guys - the time has come for me to depart. I have passed my much loved Raptor onto a new caring owner her in Australia. I have told him about this forum, so most likely he will be lurking around here somewhere. I have to say, the Raptor has been the most fun i can have on a bike under 150km/h, ...

I have retighted a few times, but i actually replaced them to find the problem unsuccessfully. They didnt need replacing, but did as a process of elimination. I have now eliminated all, and put it down to my size and height. I have this problem a bit with most bikes. The only bikes i have not had th...

Hi Guys, sorry to raise this subject again. Let me give you some background. I have a 2005 Raptor - new steering head bearings, Rear suspension mount mod - Brand new Pilot Pure tyres - Other than that it is standard. I run 38psi front and back on the road and i also do some track days. I have been r...

Hmmmm.... ... has your bike had the radiator mounting modification as described in the re-calls? It's supposed to relieve some of the tension in the upper mounting point. Can anyone let me know where i find this information. I have had mine repaired twice now, so not sure if the mod will help me. P...

I am 6'5" and have a jack up kit, which helped the handling no end. I have Pilot Pure on also, and it goes through the twisties like no other.

I had the front half of the seat raised with foam insert and re-trimmed. It is the same height as the back part, and now works a treat.

Mine kicks in at 106. That is only a short ride to the corner shop where i come from.

Wecome back. I am a newbie (6 months or so). I bought my rap 6 mths ago with 38k on it, and have already passed the 62k mark. That is alot of km in 6 months. I ride it everyweekend, and race it whenever i can.

I just use VFT on mine. That way i dont have to buy a torque wrench.

My wife's FZ6 had one of these when we bought it. I have moved all the switches to "0" to remove any fuel changes and zip tied it up inside. A complete waste of time and money. As has been said - get a PCIII and a custom map, or a wideband and adjust it yourself from the logs. I had this s...

LOL @ Crap Tartan - How true is that!

I know a guy who did this to a CB900 Hornet with some PVC right angle bends and sealing up the airbox etc. He picked up 6mph at the drags which is no small increase. That 6mph would be equivelent to 15hp or so a the wheel. Well worth a try. If you do, let us know your success/failures. The drags is ...

Ahhh - those are standard replacement levers. I was looking for Pazzo type levers that are a direct fit. Anyone know of any?

I agree with prices of Parts in Australia. Now even worse since the Australian Importer for Cagiva has severed ties with the company. Not sure what happened there.

Is there an updated link for someone selling levers for the Raptors..?
