Raptor Chapter

Clip-ons won't work on a v-raptor, i was round at TL monkeys house when he had the ohlins set up on the front and they scraped the fairing. big wide bars are better anyhow. Plus i had to drop my forks about 3 inchs through the yokes to even be able to use them:( I would guess it might be possible w...

This is interesting! I wonder if the clipons would fit as well?(from a 916) I hope your mate is ok as well :oops: Just getting carried away with the thought of adjustable forks and clipons! you and me. I love the idea of clip-ons on the (V) raptor Though i'm not sure if there enough room between al...

Hmmm got to wonder whether finding and fitting a full berries TLs engine would be the way forward? Didn't they have 115bhp at the rear wheel, before suzuki cut it down a little? Dont expect that would make much difference. Mine's got an extra 70cc, higher compression and tlr heads with biggervalves...

i have noticed that i'm for ever tighening my bar-end mirrors. Clearly riding at the speed limit cause's to many vibes.

"75 miles the light appears" Sir has been riding enthusiastically... Well done! :D i don't red-line it in every gear. But i do use plenty of revs And to be honest i just can't stick at a level throttle. I'm always rolling off in 2nd/3rd, then pinning it again, getting that 'Just been kick...

I always thought i was filling up quite a lot. And so it seems 75 miles the light appears.......seems very short!

Someone say there's a bike in the picture?
'looks again'

Nope three hot women, thats all i'm seeing!

So??? did you take it?? the TL ecu?? shall we all start looking out for one??? I feel like a boy on christmas eve. Just wondering whether to start looking round for a TLs ecu for a bit/lot more power!

I'll not be there tomorrow. Should make the 25th. Though the clutch feels on it's way out at the moment..slip!

the bike is working well, though i'm having a bit of trouble riding it! I keep stalling it???? And when going out for a blast, i'm have a bit of a confidence problem in the front end. All tyre pressures are correct, but it feel very like the front wants to dissappear from under me. Again, anything i...

Hmmmm For a couple of months whilst i was having problem after problem, i started to have a look around. And decided at the moment, there's nothing i'd want to change my Raptor/now v-raptor for Buell Firebolt does take my fancy. It's different and thats very important for me. But i feel i'm giving t...

Is your bike put together yet TL? Be interesting to see how you get on with this ECU mod. Whilst your Raptor is frankly the coolest thing i've seen on two wheels. I'd be interested to know how the ECU mod would work on a 'normal' 1000cc raptor I wonder if anyone on the italian raptor forum has tried...

I've found that as well, with the TRE. But whilst not great when it's cold. i LOVE it, when the bikes wamed up! I pulled my first wheelie, by getting a little to excited with the throttle in 2nd gear with the TRE fitted!
