hi pod pm sent.

havnt posted for ages on the site as the rap has been gathering spider webs in the shed due to my infatuation with an fzr400rrsp and rather expensive trackday habit so the rap is going.i just wanted to say thanks for all the help and advice over the last 3 years youre a great bunch and i will miss t...

many thanks for that!!!!-steve

anybody know where i can get some swingarm bearings from as mine are toasted.ive already replaced wheel and head bearings but cant seem to find any for the swingarm any ideas?cheers-steve

i think he has a fair point,the brembo calipers are spoilt by a crap nissan master cylinder that seems to rob the goldlines of any bite or decent power i replaced mine with a brembo 19/20mm radial master cylinder the rap should have come with something decent in the first place,as a point my 1990 fz...

theyre the same bike but the v has some wacky extra plastic on it.check head bearings as these bikes get wheelied alot and the bearings can have hard time.some of the bodywork plastics can be a bit fragile around the mounting points so theyre worth a check.wheel bearings dont seem to last very long ...

sounds awsome gissa go!nah its just two different ways to crack the same nut i spose.the rap aint ever gonna be a lithe razor sharp bike,but i didnt buy it for that reason(the only bike i have trouble staying with here is another raptor) i just wanted something light with and not much power to make ...

just bought a lovely fzr400rrsp for 600 quid to keep the raptor company in the shed.im sure that the rap scowled at it as i wheeled it into the shed as if to say im not sharing any space with that!!.as much as i love my raptor(ill never sell it as its too much fun)i think i need somthing that lets m...

yep,mines the same,both mudguard stays broken,seat side panel lugs broken,flakey paint on the hangers(their polished now so problem solved),rubbish fasteners/nuts/bolts,crap radiators,and i could think of half a dozen more if i could be arsed.but a bike that makes me laugh like a mental patient can ...
