Well I was doing some good riding up and down some pretty good hills, and lots of skinny trails. I was riding for about 2 hours when I started home.. I was comming around a tight corner and the quad was in first and I was rolling around the turn. Then the quad stalled, so I tryed to start it and the red oil light came on. So I checked the oil and when I twisted the cap off the oil came rushing out. Not alot, just a little so I figured it was to hot.. I let the quad cool down and it started shortly after. I was just wondering if this type of activity is normal..Also the coolant level was fine too. Thanks alot for any responses.

i thought that was a coolant light.....

 

Oh ok..Thats why I am on this forum to learn about this quad. It probably is the coolant light, thank you.

Sounds like a blown head gasket to me.

 

I would think if it was a blown head gasket that the compression would build up in the coolent system, not the oil tank. I'm not sure how to help you with this one but I don't believe it's a head gasket.

 

if it was a head gasket it would mostlikely be blowin white smoke. coolant makes white, oil makes blue. was it over full on oil? there would have to be alot of extra oil in there to make it overflow. id let it sit, start it, then check the oil level. does the bike still run now?

 

Yes the quad does run now. I let the bike sit for a few hours. Then I checked the oil and it was at a normal level. Then I started and and let it run for a few before taking it out on a short run in which it seemed fine.

 

I would Check the Carberator Boots. this happened to me and the boots got jarred and I didnt find it till later it could run fine but it eventually will do it again when it gets jarred the right way.

 

I have no idea how to do that but I will bring it back to where I bought it and have them do it..I only bought it on friday. Can I damage it more by driving it? Thanks for the help!

 

Raptors are tricky when it comes to the oil. It's easy to overfill them because you think they could be low. It's possible you beat the snot out of the quad and got it really hot. If the oil level was overfilled and the bike was very hot, ergo, a lot of pressure built up, then that would explain a little oil gushing out of the oil tank.

However, this only explains it if after the oil gushed out and you did the normal check oil routine (run, check, add. let sit, check again) and the oil was at the full mark or within range indicating it was indeed too full and all you lost was a little unnecesary excess oil. If it was really low on oil after the oil gushed out, you've got a bigger problem. The 660 Raptors are dry-sump, meaning there is no oil pump. So i'm not sure what could cause your problem, but you would most likely have an oil leak somewhere, either internal or external.

Also check the crankcase breather hose and make sure it's not blocked. If the crankcase isn't breathing, then that could conceivably create a slight buildup in pressure. (note: the crankcase breather hose is a small tube with a 90-degree bend at the top. It is black, and extends from the crank case up to near the airbox on the left side of the airbox intake boot. You will have to take your seat off to find it tucked behind the plastic side panel) There is a company that sells a K&N type filter for the crank breather hose if that turned out to be your problem and you want to keep mud, stones and water out of there.
