Raptor Chapter

Just wondering what choices people are running?

Ah. ..just read your advice shed monkey! I've buttoned it all up now with my new seal in place..... I only shaved it down a bit and still have the seal quite well seated.....will.start it up and see what happens! Fingers crossed it maybe ok...sods law and advice says different......then it will be o...

Well...got a new seal.... Ground a couple of mm off the inserts ... And flip me if the mutha Hubbard is still weeping oil out of the top side edge...... Does it get air compression in the clutch casing......??? Any other ideas....? My next attempt will be to put the cover on a flat sanding area and ...

Did the xtra ever come with a carbon fibre seat hump?

Has anyone bought a TRE off ebay for about £30???

If so...is it any good???

Howdy!

What numbers yours?
I've got 191..lol..

Owned mine since Feb. ...so still cutting my teeth with it!

Cleaned it all back again...presented up totally clean of goo and rubber ring gasket. It's about 2mm out between 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock. ...no way of pulling it back into anyway near flat using the bolts. Any mcguyver type ideas???? Tried my black gasket sealer previously but no good... Maybe get ...

I cleaned up both sides..applied instant gasket...tightened enough so a got a good bead around the circumference....and it still bloody leaked!

I'm going to check the inserts this time.....lol.

Thanks for the tip Miz.

Howdy Rab.

Like the finger guards!

Ah..what a shame....if you'd taken it for a ride you'd never of given the keys back!

Cheers for the reply shedmonkey...will get some goo....

Hi there. I've got an xtra...saved mine up from a salvage yard. Id say your tank has been redone as the graphics are large...I've got some spare small ones if your a purist. Also your mirrors look like v raptor type. .xtra raps are rectangular and are also pretty useless. I had to scour the universe...

I know this topic had probably been done a few times.....

But has anyone got a decent fix to it?

Is there a torque setting for the bolts....any particular pattern to put them back in to get the best even seal?

Thanks for all your info.... R1 fork exchange I'd be keen to do..but as my forks are adjustable on the extra with a steering damper I'm loathed to change them..especially as I'm a bit of a purist.🐴 I'll try the pad change first and see how that goes..then onto the discs........the I'll buy a rope an...
