my raptor has about 5 hours on it, i want to know if i should wait longer to take the spark arrestor out or will it be ok to remove it now, will taking it out screw up my break-in. also if i take it out am i going to lean out my motor enough that i have to rejet? thanx
also there is a squeeking coming from my rear shock linkage. any suggestions?

I dont think it would hurt but u should get some better advise than me

 

please reply more i need to know about the spark arrestor in my raptor!!

 

I took mine out after about 10 hours...and it works the same, and the plug is tan on mine, so i didn't have to rejet. If you take it out, sometimes there a b*tch to get back in. I took mine out to hear how it sounds, i liked the sound and the spark arrester was bent to hell and back, so i just didn't put it back in. and just to let you know, its pretty loud without it. if you decide to take it out...let me know, ill tell you how i did it (it can be hard sometimes)

 

yea how do you get it out? do you have to just take that screw out and put the metal peice out or what?

 

its simple, i have done it before, the reason why it was easy for me is becuase i took it out and put it back in when there was hardly any carbon build up. thanx for your input, i think im goin to ride for a couple more hours before i do so.

 

Yeah, take the screw out, and just get some good vice grips and pull it out. Usually, its stuck in there reeaal good. I had to get a torch (cutting torches) and heat the metel around it till it got red hot. Then it came out barely.

 

i removed mine after the first ride. it came out fairly easy account it was new. it 's a fair amount louder. if you have any backfires or lean spots, open your fuel screw a little.

 

i tryed and tryed to pull it out i just cant get it out

 

i grabbed mine with some vise grips. with some twisting and pulling it came out. try a little wd-40 to loosen it up.
