Hi All, Just introducing myself as a new Raptor 650 owner. I live in Bedford and been riding since 1991 moped to last bike Bandit 600s and various stuff in between. I wanted to go back to twins so was looking at Sv650 then saw raptor is the same but with more style, checked out an ad on Gumtree and now I own a Red 07 650 I.e. It needs a little tlc as been used for some winter commuting, so first job is chain and sprockets with Cush drive rubber. Any advise on parts suppliers would be great as my bike garage said they get chain ok but I need supply Cush drive parts as their suppliers don't list anything.
Great if anyone can help or if there are any Raptor meet ups near.
Cheers, Marcus
Newbie with Raptor 650

Hello Marcus, welcome to the Raptor Chapter.
Sorry i don't know where to source cush drive rubbers, and i don't recall anyone mentioning buying any.
We usually have an annual meet in July. We go to East Kirkby in Lincolnshire and stay at a brilliant little campsite with a great pub next door.
Sorry i'm not much help, but i hope you'll enjoy the Chapter and find it as useful as the rest of us.
