Raptor Chapter

Nice... :thumbsup: and perhaps best not let them get too close just in case you end up with a brood of baby raptors... :) And I wouldn't worry too much about customising it either... I'm planning to do the same with mine when refurbishing it. Nothing too wild but I am thinking of going for some sort...

Yo! welcome in...

I'm thinking that black colour scheme is non standard?

And nice to see another with a missing rhs under seat panel.

Hens teeth made from unobtainium I'm afraid... you may be very very lucky if you cruise ebay day after day.

When I actually get round to refurbishing the old boy I think may have to resort to a reverse 3D print of LHS side panel as a replacement for the broken RHS one.

A web search for Suzuki TL1000R will come up with some lost cost options for, just, the pump itself so there will be a little more work adapting it to the complete assembly.

mine has developed a misfire, its sat unused for a while as i have been tied up doing other things, i gave it a run in the garage every few weeks but i suspect the fuel is stale, i thought it may be a clogged injector but it will run fine then start missing how much of a pain is changing the plugs?...

The front one is the pain to access - I usually undo the radiator mounting bolts & strap tie it back around one of the fork yokes. And then fiddling about using the best combo of socket extensions etc to get a good fit. And, as JB said above, use a decent socket with a rubber insert to prevent d...

V.nice

Sorted

I'm gonna assume the cable isn't clogged up preventing a smooth action. Was the adjustment just done at the lever end? Because you really also need to adjust it at the other end first. This is going to be done by memory so might not be exactly correct. Remove the sprocket cover and you'll see the pu...

The first problem was when temperatures didnt raise over 60'c and that was fixed with a thermostat and water temperature sensor change. The accepted method of resolving this was to 'insert' a resistor in the engine temperature wiring that fooled the ecu into thinking the engine was hotter than it a...

It'd be great if you could post the info on this thread.

Some good info & photos there - I seem to recall reading about this 'ticking' noise (on a Suzuki TL) in one of the mags only recently.

Due to it's design it's not too much trouble taking the cams out either. Just a little time, patience & care.

Top job

The rear light assembly isn't unique to the Cagiva Raptor - it is also used on some (Italian) scooters. I can't remember which though. I bought a replacement in 2019 & the total including delivery from Italy came to £30. This link is to the exact same seller & product although it may be wise...

I wonder if they are one of those items that may have been common to other Italian motorcycles of that era e.g. the riders footpegs are the same as a Ducati monster.
