had my raptor for a few weeks now and just wondered how everyone keeps track of the hours the engine has been run?

gonna change the oil/filter after riding this weekend...anything special I need to be concerned with?

oil brand?
filter?

any brand better than others/brands not to get?

thanx

 

trail tec makes a meter that does you speed and its an hour counter its under 100 dollars

 

Just run Factory Yamalube like a 20w 40 the API SJ. Use Factory Oil Filter also...i have heard from my dealership that if you do not use the factory Yamalube oil, it can actually void my warranty...LOL.

i dont think it will void the warranty it would be very hard to prove you werent runing yama lube

 

yah i know...but this is what the dealer told me when i first got my rappy...

yeah dealers like to bend you over when they service the account

 

depending on the size of your gas tank, you usually go about 4-5 hrs per tank. That's about the easiest way to keep track...

 

Sendec surface mount hour meter ($40) http://www.sendec.com/meters/

 

Tell your dealer this practice is illegal. Yamaha makes an hour meter for like $40. Check it out under atv accessories at Yamahas web site. www.yamaha-motors.com
