Re: Busted clutch cable

I dont know if your uble to find a caple yet but I got stuck at work one day when mine snapped and went to the off road shop around the corner to find a replacement in order for me to go home. Only cable I could find was from a Honda TRX 450 quad it is slightly longer but works fine.

Re: Motor difference between Raptor 1000 and TL 1000 motor?

Just an idea but when was the last time the valve clearances were checked as when they close up they give restricted power and wont rev out due to reduced compression ,worth checking as if left will burn the valves and seats. I have never checked the valve clearances and I strongly doubt the previo...

Re: Motor difference between Raptor 1000 and TL 1000 motor?

I've done over 100 mph on the Raptor.....but won't go any higher, as I might get blown off the back.... I'm no ape sized bird :snooty: As for revving, I can't comment, I tend to get to that 100 mark with a few thousand revs left to spare! Has your battery completely flattened since replacing it, li...

Re: Motor difference between Raptor 1000 and TL 1000 motor?

For a start ,if the battery is suspect it will not rev out as the charging system will draw the power before the ecu and at high revs when the fuel pump, ecu and coils etc need more juice then they wont get it and it`ll feel a bag of sh*t,mine did. After fitting a new battery it was like a new bike...

Re: Motor difference between Raptor 1000 and TL 1000 motor?

The issue is not my riding style I thought it might be. I can not keep up with anyone I know in a mountain pass and thats it no matter how hard I try. The f*&&_)(* thing bogs below 3000rpm entering a slow corner and wont go over 8000rpm in ANY gear and then the inline's just pass me and pull...

Re: Motor difference between Raptor 1000 and TL 1000 motor?

Trust me IF I sell it I will lose money like it or not but I am stuck with the bloody thing. I knew I would not be able to keep up with the 1000cc IL4's on highways but I thought I would atleast be able to race them in the twisties but I cant and I cant figure out why it wont go over 8000rpm. Can an...

Motor difference between Raptor 1000 and TL 1000 motor?

Ok so my Raptor is no longer running as the TPS is Farked! :angry: But now I am thinking I can get a better deal on a TL 1000 R Intake system this includes the throttle bodies, sensors, and the injectors. Now I know there is a difference between the two intakes systems. But what did Cagiva change on...
