How many of us have had to re-man the starter in these rubies? This is something that has probably alreardy been addressed, but I like to find out if this something I will have to deal with regularly.

 

Do you mean re-manufacturer the starter? Kinda rare. Where are you from in WV? Welcome too the forums. cccc a a ccc a aaa cc

 

3 of my buddies have 01 raptors and all the starters went at about 20 hrs, dealer would not cover it but it is a common prob with them

 

Do you mean 1 way starters or the actual starter?

 

Not really remanufacture the starter, but I have had to have it replaced. After about 15 hours the starter would turn however it was not turning over the bike. It would just whine and grind. I took the raptor in, and the starter was replaced under warranty.

Good to be here garyc660r

Please excuse my mechanical ignorance. The starter didn't go bad, but it was not starting the raptor


COLD IN CHARLESTON!!!

 

I think you're referring to the starter one way. The OEM setup sucks, buy the LA design and forget about it.

 

I hear ya, Thanks for the tip

 

Cold in Logan too...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. I can't believe Yamaha has still not redesigned the starter 1 way for the Raptor. The 1 way failing is bad enough......but tiny metal particles for the 1 way spring floating around inside the engine is unacceptable.

 

I heard this was a common problem however I have an 01 Rappy and haven't had a problem yet(Knock on wood).... But where can you find the LA one way in case it goes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
