I just bought an 05 raptor and the steering seems to be a little stiff. I thought it was just the bike but i noticed that yamaha put the fronts tires on backwards. Would this be the problum or does it just need to be broken in more.

 

put the tires on the right way and see if it makes any kind of difference....

 

I don't think putting the front wheels on the "correct" way would help.

If you bought it brand new, I would take it back to the dealership if you have any questions. Since it's under warranty, I would let them fix it, even if it's something you may think is simple.

Just my $0.02 worth.
