Re: Cheap RAPTOR 1000 for sale!

Bargain, You won't have any trouble shifting that. I had 25+ Messages in the first 48 hours when i listed my half done one

I'd list it for more though, you will get people trying to chip you down.

Good luck with the sale.

Re: The rusty work hoss.

I'm not too sure nick, I do like the look of the triumph speed triple 675, but ill probably just sit on the cash and wait for a Christmas bargain.

Re: The rusty work hoss.

I have listed this for sale.

£1395.

I am still using it, but i fancy something more modern that i wont be worried about every noise it makes.

The rear brake sticking on the other night pretty much made this decision for me.

Re: The rusty work hoss.

Just a follow-up to my comment on Craig's bubble-blowing clutch cover. There's a slightly shabby* Raptor 1K on ebay.uk now that apparently has an engine breather connected to that cover, suggesting that excessive crankcase pressure may be an issue on these engines. Anyone come across that? I've see...

I read online that they only introduced aluminium covers in later SV/DL models & the bolt holes are slightly different.. :shock:

Re: The rusty work hoss.

Cover is about 2mm off in 2 places (top right, bottom)

The only sure fix I can see is a billet one, but I'm afraid I won't be putting anymore cash into this.

Re: The rusty work hoss.

Got it together enough for a shakedown run, half mile to the fuel station & it appears it has suffered from a common fault. New gasket ordered and some RTV Silicone sealant.

I've also noticed its smoking on start up, blue smoke until its warm.
