2003 RAPTOR 660 CLUTCH WAS REPLACED ONE TWO MONTHS AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED 6 MOS LATER CLUTCH GOING OUT AGAIN WHEN ENGINE HOT CLUTCH SLIPS THEN CLUTCH GOES OUT WHEN COOLED DOWN CLUTCH IS FINE ANY OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEMS

 

I had the same problem, put different oil in my bike and never had the problem again after I sand blasted the metal plates between the clutch pads. I kept slipping after I put a new one in the second time. I started using Kendall Oil and never had the problem again.

 

It could be your riding habits.....did you just climb off a 125 dirt bike before buying the Raptor? The Raptor does'nt need or want a lotta clutch action. Mine has done this once since I have owned my 01 Raptor in Sept of 2000. This instance occured too me once when I was trying too climb a long hill in the winter time riding 2 gears too high and using a lotta clutch. The stock clutch sucks anyway.....it's always slipping.

 

NO HAVENT RIDEN TO MUCH OFF ROAD IN A FEW YEARS MAYBE ILL CHANGE THE FLUID AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS ALSO YOU KNOW OF A GOOD EXHAUST TO PUT ON

 

Make sure your clutch is adjusted right to begin with.

 

ADJUSTMENT IS FINE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH THIS TIME THEY SAY THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO I WILL PICK IT UP TOMORROW AND PROBABLY AFTER I USE IT NEXT IT WILL BE TOTALLY GONE AND I WILL HAVE TO BRING IT RIGHT BACK

 

Put in stiffer springs.

Are you sure the little spring plate is in the clutch? There is one plate that looks like a large circlip that needs to be in the clutch.

 

I HAVE NO IDEA I DIDNT WORK ON IT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ITS BRAND NEW GOT IN IN MARCH IT WENT BACK IN IN APRIL AND THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH THEN AND NOW ITS DOING THE SSAME THING IT DID LAST TIME BEFORE THE CLUTCH OUT (WHEN IT GETS HOT THE CLUTCH IS ALMOST TOTALLY GONE CLUTCH LEVER FEELS LIKE THERE NO CABLE AT ALL ATTATCHED TO IT BUT ONCE IT COOLS DOWN ITS FINE)

 

Probably good it's doing that.....keeps from melting the engine...LOL.
