Got a 660 SE. Started breaking it in yesterday. Drove it for about 2.5 hours. Pretty happy w/ the quad so far. A lot of fun to drive. The quad is a lot better looking in person compared to the Pictures on their website. Something else that I noticed about the Special Edition is the Headlights, they have a "blue tint" When the other 05 models dont. I was not aware of this till I got it.

I have a question about my first Oil Change. Yamaha doesnt call for the first maint until after 20 hours. Is it safe to continue breaking in my raptor up to 20 hours w/o making the first oil change? or should i change it somewhere in the middle?

Some people have told me it isnt important to change it until their recommended time, just wanted to know if I am getting misinformation or not.

Thanks

 

Its cheap insurance during the most important time in that engines life to have clean oil. I would change the oil and filter around 10 hours. Good luck with a very fun ride.

 

Congrats. You cannot change oil enough on a new / break in engine. I was gonna PM you with more info until I read your sig..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].

 

ill give ya some advice...... sell it. u will fix it more than u ride it

 

I would change oil and filter at about 10 hours. Break it in easy and you will have many years of fun.

 

my raptor must be a freak of nature then......cause I haven't had the first problem with it........

 

yea, we got a few of those runnin aorund..... god musta helped in their building.... but on the average, u do spend more time fixin it that ridin it

 

Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that some of us just don't know how to maintain equipment could it.........

 

Thanks, so 10 hours..sounds good to me.

 

Looks like I fit in the "averages".
