Raptor Chapter

the bike is already so quirky that I think the screen blends in well - no more painful neck when flat in top but I wonder how much it distorts at this point .

Sad to say after an all too brief membership that I have sold my Raptor now. There is a nice community on here, and I'm sorry that I never got to meet any of you but I will always go up to a Raptor owner in future to see if he's on here . Thanks in particular to Martin who posts and personal p.m.s h...

Hope it's purring like a.. Dinosaur soon D.B. Alas mine is up for sale already as the bike of my dreams has come up at a price I can't ignore and I have way too many already. Won't be sorry if it doesn't sell as I have come to appreciate why they have such a following now and I think it has as much ...

Thanks Andy, the worst symptoms seem to have gone now – it's whether to fit a TRE next.
safe riding to you also

I used the fast idle lever as per procedure Andy?

Thanks Spyke. set mine up last night and only took about half an hour.

Tried P.M.-ing you twice Crap Tartan (but not important now) as I will definitely do your mod next even if I cure my main problem which happens at any temperature. no sign of any pm`s in my inbox ?? So remind me what is your main problem that ocurs at any temp? I think I've cured it now - bike woul...

Unfortunately the bolts at the back hadn't moved, I had to loosen them to slide the bracket back as far as it would go and it was still a struggle to get the bolts back in :rant: Unfortunately I probably know what this is DD - A tell-tale sign that would confirm this would be water bubbles on the o...

Thanks Andy that's a great help I have taken it for a run with the TPS set up approximately plus we have new cleaned injectors and so far it hasn't done the bucking bronco thing on the overrun so have fingers crossed that main problem has been cured.

Yep Andy - just swapped out the TPS for another one but don't think it would cause above symptoms from being misadjusted but have had experiences on cars where TPS is faulty and behaving erratically - it's only a glorified potentiometer innit? : ). What I need to search for is the set-up procedure t...

Bless yer heart Spyke - it's nice to find someone is around and i'm not just talking to myself - the scanned wiring diagram you did has been invaluable to me, so Thanks. I am ready to assemble everything up tomorrow so will let you know if i'm successful. It's a lovely bike and would like to keep it...

Thanks Spyke :) - slightly off-topic but reason I am studying diagram is to try and work out which (if any) sensors can be disabled without affecting performance as I contemplate removing all emission equipment and plumbing - can anyone point me to a thread that deals with this? if not I will just s...

managed to remove Datatool alarm and went for a ride to test plus after learning that I can monitor running temp :doh: (didn't even get a handbook with the bike) have been watching temp while riding with a view to Crap Tartan's notes on curing surge due to low temp. After much riding I can now say t...

Thanks Spyke, congrats Dirtydog - didn't realise you were nearby. I don't know if you ride through the winter but would be good to meet up if you are up for it. I still haven't removed my Datatool alarm or raised rear suspension but about to go for another 100 mile plus trek tomorrow. I managed to g...
