Hi, I have a 2005 Raptor 660r. It runs and rides fine but when i checked my oil the otehr day, the dip stick is reading below fill, to the point where u can just tell there is oil. I find this weird as i had just put in a quart and a half of oil. I checked the oil according to specs. I checked my radiator to see if maybee the oil was mixing in the radiator, but there is no oil in there. It is not leaking out and is not being let out through exhaust. I decided to drain the oil to see how much would come out to see if it was being burned, and i got almost 2 quarts of oil out. I then refilled it and re-ran the specified oil check. Same Problem. Any Suggestions would be helpful.
Thankyou
Dan

 

By any chance have you checked your air box, it may have some oil....

 

How long had it been sitting when you checked it? Check the owners manual for the correct procedure. I think you have to warm it up, then let it sit for a couple of minutes. Also, you said you put in a quart and a half, did you just change your oil? It takes just a little over 2 quarts so if you only put in 1 1/2 that would be why.

 

i did let it warm and then cool off, checked the oil and it was the same. yes, have checked the airbox and there no no iol in there, any othere suggestions?

 

is there any oil leaking near the front sprocket?

 

no its clean. I did put a pipe on my atv and im thinking maybee this caused the problem? Any more ideas...

 

Just an idea coming from a newb, is there oil coming out of your exhaust?

 

nope.. ITs burning clean. I was thinking maybee the exhaust pipe would cause more oil to be burned.. But i think a quart is alot to burn in 1 week

 

with filter i believe it holds 2and a half quarts..have to break that 8 mill bolt loose to purge the air out on the side of the head....dont have a over size oil tank do you

 

I figured out the problem. My oil seal is busted.... Gonna just send it to yamaha and have them fix it for me. I dont have time for yamahas garbage. Thx
