What did you do to your Raptor today
Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Hah, you got me there for a sec. Yeah rim stickers have never floated my boat, but then again I care more about riding than washing usually, and stickers would just piss me off if I put them on only to get them slightly Scottoiled. If I ever do my wheels it'll be to "Scottoil gunk grey" fo' shizzle.
Road racing's where it's at - going round in circles all day is for hamsters.

The rear dymag is about 2 kg lighter than the stock wheel, it takes 180 tyres, a bit big for the 650 but cheaper than the stock 160s the std 650 uses.
Stay calm.

True ,bikes registered now , have been moving and other stuff so hopefully will be able to finish rims off soon and get some nice days riding with better weather around the corner. Polishing the rims is a sod of a job , at least this will be my last set i will have to do. Still love the cagiva , may be moving soon but bike is coming with me.Spyke wrote:Hah, you got me there for a sec.

Bling-bling, nice!
But methinks you need to spend more time riding and less time washing.

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Side stand switch again Shebee this time he cut the wire and bridged it, there must have been a real problem in there as the whole engine feels tighter now, ooh and oil poured out of the wire casing. I'm currently back at bro's as it was going dark and his was closer than the kids. Now have to re train myself to not rely on the switch while i search for a replacement.shebee wrote:What happened Snappy?

Pics as requested.
Just got in from a run and she was fine - warmed up and stayed constant temp.
Filled up with Vortex 98 and she ran heaps better at low revs!

checked plugs and air filter on my 1000. Last owner had not replaced and no need at 4000 miles as virtually spotless. I still have seat fitting issues and still haven't fully worked out what the problem is.

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
I had similar trouble and the issue for me was the battery placement. It needed to be lifted up so it lies more horizontal which then allowed it to be pushed farther forward - the cables should be fixed on the side of the battery terminals & not the tops. This in turn gives more space for the tool kit and hence seat fitment.I still have seat fitting issues and still haven't fully worked out what the problem is
