Honeymoon suggestions

So I pulled the pin, sacrificed my freedom, put the word to the girl and succumbed to a lifetime of random bites on my ass whenever I don't protect myself. Not that the last bit won't happen without a commitment. So little Joe aka Brenny(for those sick and twisted people that are friends with me on ...

Re: Tips for finding spare parts

Also those steering damper clamps if you can find them, may be very hard to find now since they had a tendancy to break if not fitted correctly. They are still available mate, but they look like they're cast alloy which is very brittle. I had a cast alloy clutch pressure plate on a KR250 (when I wa...

Re: Tips for finding spare parts

One thing I made a point of getting was a second wiring harness in case wires get worn through somewhere. There's plenty of places that now manufacture cables if you can't find one that fits http://www.cable-tec.co.uk/Applications ... cables.asp

Tips for finding spare parts

I've noticed a lot of people here have trouble finding spare parts, so I thought I'd help everyone with a few pointers to find Cagiva Raptor parts. This information is specific to the 650 and 1000 models. The reality is most of the parts are not being made anymore. A lot of parts are generic to seve...

Re: Looking to join the raptor chapter.

With the amount of rust on that frame around the number the one thing you need to do is check the fuel tank drain isn't blocked, the information is here http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4816&p=36848&hilit=fuel+tank+drain#p36848 If you need to replace the battery, get ...

Re: Origin of Parts

The discs should have the minimum thickness stamped on them if they are original, according to the work shop manual the minimum thickness is 3.5mm for the front discs.

Re: Origin of Parts

Cagiva no longer owned Ducati when they started building the Raptors. Miguel Angel Galluzzi http://enacademic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/2830277 who designed the Ducati Monster also designed the Raptor, and he has been quoted as saying that the Raptor was the best Monster he ever designed. The only parts th...

Re: 650 carb main earth point

The main earth is up the top of the front edge of rear cylinder on the left hand side, from the parts listings it should be in exactly same position on your 650IE.It has a heavy cable attached and goes straight to the battery negative terminal. It's has an allen key head but is really difficult to g...

Re: Has my 650 rappi been lowered?

I'm `183 cm and the standard footpegs never bothered me that much, and I'd do up to 600 kilometres (370 miles) in a day. I ended up putting Rosmoto adjustable foot pegs on my 650 so I wasn't dragging footpegs around corners. They're higher up and further back but I don't do long trip on my Raptor no...

Re: Tacho problem.

Welcome in mate, I've got the same model as you, but it is fully disassembled at the moment as I'm going to restore it. If you need any help or pics of anything, let me know. Check the thin wire and terminal that goes to the front coil, the tacho is run off it. You'll have to lift the tank to get to...

Re: Touring bags

You also have the option of strap on tank bags, the base stays attached to the bike and the bag is attached with zips or clips to the base. http://www.oxfordproducts.com/motorcycl ... _on_black/
