Hi guys new to the forum just bought myself an x raptor was just wondering if there's any issues to keep a look out for and is there any styling and tuning mods available for them??.
Thanks in advance and all help much appreciated

Mine is 413 I have only just bought it not got it yet as I'm waiting for the garage to service it and do the MOT but I must say I really loved it on the test ride. Have to say I can't wait to get some good exhausts on it.

Re: Newbie
nothing particularly common, jap engine and electrics are fine, corrosion is the biggest issue on some especially if its been used in winter and not cared for too well. Regular servicing and cleaning will keep them tiptop!
The Xtra has improved suspension but its not up there with the best but perfectly adequate.
Some engines have a 3k glitch in the fuelling which is easily overcome, be careful not to get water in the tank as it can cause all sorts of problems, the battery is the weakest point so look after it well or fit LED bulbs to give it some breathing space.
Standard cans choke the engine a bit and sounds much better with nice aftermarket and wil run fine with most.
Loads of info on here as there are many longtimers here who have done most stuff with theirs.
Best of luck now dis you say its your round???? lol
