A few complaints about my 04 LE Raptor!
well now youre makin me think that maybe they turned the idle down too much and were blowing boots off before they delivered them. As I recall, you bought yours new like i did. May '01.
I cant tell you the number of raptor folks i've met with their idle speed too slow...the damm thing's not a model t ford, it's not meant to idle at 400 rpms. as you know, it needs the idle speed for lubrication and cooling. with a dry sump and pressurized cooling system like a race car, it needs rpms to function. listen to Champ cars and Formula one cars - the design is similar. no kidding.
I been in automotive for most of my life and the most ignored item next to the oil level is the owners manual! and thats the truth. hey i should write a book.
check around, start a thread and let me know... i'm curious now.
does Yamaha owe me 2 each zip ties at 18 cents each? with a clever lawyer can i turn this into a tranny upgrade? hehe even tho mine works fine?
seems to me with the legal system absurdity knows no bounds.....but that is a different thread...hehe [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

neither has mine. curious.
a friend in europe says the 01's are highly coveted there as their gear ratios make them the 'fastest raptor' when it comes to racing.
i guess the ratios are perfect for the racing they do....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
