Hi guys
I got my raptor on tuesday. I like it but it keeps stalling. If I ride with the choke on it doesnt stall (well hasnt yet anyway). Does it just take ages to warm up or have I got a problem? Riding with the choke on is not good.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this

It does take ages to warm up... I leave it to warm until it reaches 35 on the temp guage before I ride off and dont take the choke off until it gets to above 65. HTH
I also had a problem with it stalling at roundabouts and lights when I first got it, I think its a 'feature' of the injection and that there is a re-map that fixes it... I sorted mine by stoping my habit of almost coasting to the roundabout (watching for a gap) and then giving it a handfull.

nod nod what Shebee said
The advice to me when i first bought her was to let her warm up to 60 degrees, so being rather impatient I warm her up to 35-40 (depends how late I am) push the choke (not actually a choke I was told but WTF) back about half way (about 1500 revs) and then push it back to the stop when fully warm. It's a V twin thang
(errm don't tell raptordoc - I'll get done for cruelty to Raptors)

same here,i start the rap b4 i get my boots,leathers,helmet on,gives it a few mins headstart.usually find that the average running temp is about 80 degrees,so i let it get there first.its good 4 any machine to reach it correct running temp b4 putting stresses on them.also it gives you time to stand back and ADMIRE YOUR RAPTOR

it's not a choke as we know it jim! all the 'choke' does infact is actuate a small lever that opens the throttle valves- just like you do when you open the throttle.make sure it idles nicely when its at 82 deg and wind the idle screw up or down as required.
I don't have the problem of stalling when cold, i was told to turn the choke off ASAP and let it warm up on tickover. It's supposed to 'learn' to not need it aparently, don't know if this is just a load of twaddle but i was told by a mechanic.
My problem is when its warm and i turn it off then go to atart it again, it just won't start. Not sure what it is, a plug problem maybe?

ok.. here is my experience...
i did haf dis type of prob after i juz got my rappy...
nid a choke to start to warm up...
but after a trip up north to melaka... i travel at a constant spd
of 160-180 km/h.. but still got some whackin involve...
after dat when i return home..
the bike starts like a normal honda bike.. n dis is true....
one ting i can tink of is the carbon n the spark plug....
a pity.. after one mnth.. the bike is back to dat stage....
but one note.. last time b4 i fix on the tre.. there is alot backfire...
now after the tre.. feels more smooth... but juz a while i fix on the
akra... its not dat smooth.. a weird pickup feelin... mayb it nids a
remap... waitin for the pcII to come...
