What did you do to your Raptor today

[Tikka]

Just picked my V Raptor 1000 up from a suspensionguru. Nice new oil, harder springs and a reshim. Should have done this years ago. More feel en confidence from the front into corners.
Bring on the warm weather!!!

Well, I got all excited today coz it was sunny and nice outside so I wombled into the shed, like you do. I thought, oooo I might get the cover off Kitty and turn her over.

Welll

Flat as a fart.

Hmppphhh, great start to the season

New battery time.

[dizzyblonde]

Yeah, going to stick it on the optimate first and see if is salvageable for now. Its sat for much longer periods, but usually its had a good run and a successful summer when I've put her to bed!

once the battery gets to that stage they are usually toast!

My SV battery used to do it every winter for four years, practically every month because of the diabolical short trips in the freezing cold(always on a nightshft), but ran first button and never failed during the summer.. I think this time though its probably best if it goes to the great battery dump in the tip after three years of being stood still and battery being flat........it refuses to die though because you still get a neutral light out of it!!

Soon know if the Raps toast on the optimate though. Worth a punt for free before I shell out on a new one This is the first time in the years I've had it that I've gone in and found it just clicking. Doesn't surprise me after crashing either.

If you do get a new battery go for a lithium , you wont regret it.

Today i fitted some Braking wave rotors,not the chinese ones , and some new pads. Also save 3/4 kilo in weight with the new rotors!

[Tikka]

looks good!

[Dante]

What mods are needed for those rotors?

[ozzraptor]

None ,these are for raptor ,straight bolt on.

[Dante]

Nice.
Because it looked to me like ,that something is done at the brembo's.
A link for those discs?

[ozzraptor]

No change at the brembos. First test ride felt like the front brakes gave more bight than the stock but that may be because i have changed the pad type or possibally combination with the wave discs? I still have stock lines, i guess i should do race lines but it brakes so well i dont know i will bother?
