Raptor Chapter

Dont worry about yellow wires order they are doing the same thing ie supplying ac to the reg rec. Do the wires get hot. Would have thought the unit would get warm but not hot. Its either a duff reg rec or have you got a short circuit somewhere? Any insulation worn through anywhere? What markings ar...

The reason for the fins is to dissipate heat. Have you got a multi/volt meter to check the voltage as this is a better check than the headlight brightness. If you don't have a meter, where are you? Maybe someone near to you would be willing to help out. im in kidderminster in worcs. ive just fitted...

just checked new rec/reg again and 2 minutes ticking over the rear of it gets warm not hot but warm. if i fit old one it stays cold hence my question could the yellow wires be in wrong order/position?

i bought a brand new sv650 rec/reg which arrived today the red and black wires in one plug match up. i was wondering if the 3 yellow wires did not match for some reason hence the overheating or could this be a duff unit?. my bike is a 2001 650 raptor.

new reg/rec just arrived but lights still NOT getting any brighter on reving. could it be the yellow wires need changing around on new rec how would i know? also do these things get warm quick as this one did when fitted for 1 minute

The reg rec is a finned metal box, follow the leads from the generator on the LHS around the gearbox sprocket, they go to the reg/rec. Its number 39 in this pic http://www.oemmotorparts.com/oem5.asp?M=Cagiva&T=RAPTOR%20%20650&Y=2001&L=CA-RAP-2&O=WIRING%20HARNESS&F=CA-RAP-2_BS&am...

I suspect the regulator rectifier, your test with the headlights suggests this, a voltmeter across the battery with the motor running should show a rise to 13.5 volts when the revs pick up. My bike is the same age , I fitted a new battery around 20K about 5 years ago. When it failed the bike would ...

just took my cagiva 650 out for the first time and it died a death. symptoms are, started on 2 cylinders and pulled away fine then after 2 mins cut onto 1 cylinder then died a death. battery seemed flat as. pushed bike home as never went far just had this feeling as you do. when i got home put batte...

just an update, pipes come from crankcase directly into airbox and on inspecting found the airbox wasnt even conected to the one carb so good job i checked but now hopefully all sorted and thanks again for all the help and advice

At the side of the air box there is a box fastened to the frame, with a pipe going into the airbox. Going into this is a pipe which is the breather pipe - well it is on the 1000 and just assumming its the same on the 650 thanks very much indeed. thats why i love this site so much as the people are ...

Again, not sure about the 650, but most engines these days have the breather (s) connected to the air filter, so look for a pipe (or pipes) running from the cam covers or the gearbox up into the airbox. Breather.JPG Here is a picture of where the breather attaches on the 1000 once again a very big ...

can some kind person tell where the engine breather is on my 2001 650 raptor please?. idiots gude to spoting it would be very helpfull? many thanks in advance

I'm not sure about the 650, but on the 1000 there is a bleed point on the water pump casing, you fill the system through the cap on the radiator, then replace the cap and run the bike, any air should be forced out into the header tank and as the bike cools it draws coolant back in from the header t...

decided to give my 650 raptor a service inc antifreeze/coolent so when filling is it just a case of refilling slowly or is there a vent screw somewhere so you dont get airlocks? many thanks in advance
