Raptor Chapter

Hmmm thats pretty interesting at the moment to myself. My bike a couple of months ago, was producing similar figures. But since a blowing exhaust gasket has been fixed, it's been serviced, and it's now producing only 60lb instead of 68lb it was before! http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/3555/spa0052...

I've not fitted a TRE yet..... I'm tempted though, someone mentioned that they were running race cans, and fitting a TRE stopped the banging and popping when rolling off. I spent most of saturday morning on a dyno trying to stop that! and whilst the fueling is 'fixed' the popping and banging is stil...

Any other thoughts on Hyper-pro springs and oil
whilst i'd love to spend £400 on maxton forks, it aint gonna happen!

£100 on hyperpro seems a little more in my budget, are there any other companies that make springs, that people have tired?

How big a job is it to change the spings and oil?

I bought a screen, but having trouble fitting it. Silly drilled all the holes in the plastic horns, then i've noticed i can't fit the bottom two screws? The top two screws aren't a problem. But the bottom ones, there isn't any room to screw them in? Do i need to drill holes into the v-rap body work....

Is this the model people have been buying? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRE-for-GSX1400-TL1000R-TL1000S-DL1000-SV1000-RAPTOR_W0QQitemZ300128759454QQihZ020QQcategoryZ25623QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem i'd also be interested to know anything regards Dyno runs with it fitted. more so after having mine all day on the d...

Unlucky!
Is it your raptor thats for sale at the Kwasaki Dealer in Bredbury (used to be Triumph?)
Silver, gold exhaust hangers?

How about i help run-in your bike, while i wait for my Raptor to be fixed???

I see i'm still the youngest! A slightly middle-aged 25!

And the TL's one 'DO' Fit?? my bikes been in for 6 weeks now, waiting for a gasket. 3x are still waiting for the 'factory' to send one So i've got to wait for the itailans to send them to 3x, then 3x to send them on to my mechanic. I was hoping to get on the road this week! I sent him a link to the ...

Welcome back from the 9 year break, kids eh?

Nice paint job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only if you keep the exhausts as clean as ones in the photo!

I've found some 'jota bars'

Look like the bars i'd be after.

The clip-on idea seemed to be quite expensive.
Jota Bars though seem with all the adjustment like you'd be able to get the 'perfect' riding position and hopefully stick a bit more weight over the front, which i surely a good thing?

Got a set of oval stainless CCC ones of ebay. Had a bargain! My god they are loud though :shock: Fitted them today and went for a run. I even noticed that it pulls harder through out the rev range. Next question is do i need to get it re-mapped? If so should i get a power commander or yoshi box? An...

Thanks TL! I assume your Vrap is the 1000 version. Mine is the 650. Do you reckon it will fit? I checked the front tire sizes of both bikes and they're the same. I'm planning to get the mudguard and then a fender extender on it to prevent water & muck from getting to the front cyclinder. Welcom...

Whats the best thing to clean your chain with?

I ask thinking i 'may' see my bike sometime soon

I hear paraffin is good to use, any ideas?

regards

The water problem yeah. Most use a bit of rubber matting to solve the problem. I have on mine. No problems since Fuel pump. Unlucky i think. Rear Shock. Yep happened to me You may well have some more minor problems with it. Question is. Do you die having slept with two ugly women, or one Cindy Crawf...

I'm going down on monday. about 10.30 (unless i get lost again that is!)
