Bought my 01 Raptor used and had a seris of problems. Wondering if its been abused or just dumb luck heres the list
1st Intake boots cracked & leaking Replaced
2nd Clusth disk came apart while riding Replaced
3rd Starter 1 way clutch went out Replaced
4th Rear axle bearings went out REPLACED then went out a second time REPLACED again then went out again

What would be causing the bearing to go after about 10 hours riding on trails (no creaks)
Am I cursed or what.

 

I suspect the spacer tube in the axle carrier is not in spec, it seperates the races on both bearings and allows the axle to be tightened without sideloading the bearings. If the axle is tightened without the spacer in or the spacer is not wide enough to bridge the 2 bearings it will eat them.

I recommend changing the spacer tube every 2 or maybe 3 times the rear bearings are changed. I changed my bearings for the first time last season at about 250hrs.

 

I might also add on the bearings, when you get new ones pop the rubber seal out and pack it with grease. They have very little when new. After packing the seal will pop right back in place. I used marine axle grease and have no problems.

 

check to see if your axle is bent

 

It is very common for axles to come loose...if this happens it will beat the heck out of thhe bearings...all the other stuff sounds like dumb luck
