Hi,

I have BT 21's. Done 18k km only this summer.
The tyres have top handling in wet and dry and last forever ( diablos last ~ 10k km)
Cornering and hard braking also feels pretty good.
I srongly recommend them.

I've got an XT cable. fine fit, 20 Euro.

Chesk the connection and the switch on your clutch in the clutch handle. I am pretty shure that the problem is there. I have similar problems. Just clean it up and it will be fine.

The hammer is also a good idea. I changed my beating the s..t out of them ( actually they went in quite smoothly with some greas on the outer shell ) so anyway you want to go will do I think.

Very often problem to Raptors.
Cure: change fluid and bleed as good as possible.

I had the same problem last year. Changed the fluid and everything went well. No such worries now.

Mine is 2001. Done 54000km on it so far

Just had to change mine... Have in mind that tree of the bearings are the same : 6006-2R51/C3 , but the forth one ( just next to the rear sprocket ) is slightly different 6006-2R51/C4. C4 means that it with slightly bigger heat tolerances, so it can withstand the heat buildup from all that torgue yo...

Really don't know that. I'll try to read if there are some indications on the cable. The fact is that last year on the Croatian sea coast freakin'n twisted road I had the cable broken. The only shop near by ( 30 km ) was in Dubrovnik. I ran to the Yamaha dealer, showed him the Raptor cable and he sa...

I use a XT cable and 190 rear. both work fine

Hey there Zorro.
The front nut.. normal socket.
The clutch cable.. get one from Yamaha XT. I got one last summer, looks fine

I have 190's on my rap for 2 years now. They fit and steer perfectly. In fact, I never had any other size on my raptor.

I got a 28mm from a store nearby for 1 EURO then cut it into two so it can fit in the bike. Works fine for more than a year now
