01 raptor what are the most common problems on this year raptor...

02 raptor same question..

please i need lots o help if im gonna get the raptor

Thanks for ur help

 

As everyone here will tell you the main problem with the '01 raptor is the tranny. A lot of them, not all though, have gone out. I don't know why they broke, I think they were weak gears or something. The problem was corrected with the '02's. I don't know about any major, or even minor problems with the '02's and up. A lot of people say that the narrow stance of the raptor is a problem, but I've never had a problem with it. I ride my rappy hard through the trails and the dunes and I've never even came close to flipping...I guess it has a lot to do with rider ability. Well, I hope this helps with your decision...

 

Buy an 02 or newer and you should be fine.

 

Ok thanks a bunch guess im looking for a 02 raptor and up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Have fun and keep it right side up! LOL

 

Don't discount the 01's though. A LOT of people have never had a probem with them and some 02's have gone out. The 01's can be had pretty cheap and there are some good ones still out there. Just do a search on "01 Raptor tranys" and you will get all the information you can stand on them. A lot of starters have gone out, but my experience is that people think the Raptor idels too fast and they turn down the idle screw. That's where the problems start. When it stalls it kicks back very hard.

 

I have 2 Rappys and the only problem I experienced is they are too fast. I don't mind leaving my friends in the dust, but when they FINALLY catch up to me at camp, I have to listen to them whine about how dirty their goggles and clothes get....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
