Raptor Chapter

Hi guys, you have probably had this message befor but how or where i can i find some 650 underseat panels as my left one is a bit scratched.
I have found carbon ones at emoto but when you google them they have been ripping people of for months. ?

And whilst i am here what performance mods can i make that dont cost the earth for my 2001 650 rap ?

Hi, i reckon I may have a set of the normal plastic side panels. They are probably from the 1000 but I`m certain they are all the same. I have "upgraded" to CF so PM me if interested.

My mrs has the 650ie rap and since she is fairly new to biking I havent considered doing any upgrades for performance yet so not sure what is out there!

cheers mate for reply, where did you buy your cf panels from ?

got them from someone on here(Raptopboy), just going to pick them up soon.

Cheapest performance mod you can do is go on a diet i believe!!!

LOL @ Crap Tartan - How true is that!

Hi Bill

Heres what Ive done

Engine mods, advance ignition pickup by 2 degrees for a bit more torque at lower revs. Free ish
Swap inlet cams for later K5 and fit old inlets to exhauast, about £120. this changes the exhaust tone and adds a touch more about 5,500 rpms onward. ive left cans and filters stock, but big weight savings if different cans are fitted.

Chassis
Cheapest - dearest
Flyscreen, instant +5 mpg
baines link, raises rear and sorts bar shake on bumps.
Hagon shock, stock are poor and fade fairly quickly.
maxton forks internals, great but spendy, much cumfier .
Carbon rimmed Dymags, bling but wins everywhere handling , accel and braking

Brakes
Wavy rear disc, the std one will definetly crack if it isnt already.
brembo Radial front master cylinder, big improvement in feel.

now at 45,000 miles and still going well.

have fun with your 650 , great bike.
