today i was riding and when i was in 3rd i would punch the gas just to zip a little. i wasnt bogging at all but there was a very very slight hesitation when i hit the gas. it doesnt feel serious, but is there anyway you think i might be able to get rid of this little delay?or what is casuing it?thanks

 

Time for a valve adjustment

 

i just bought it, i boke it in real easy. how much $ for a valve adjustment in the future tho? if thats what this is it is still under warrenty

 

Check with the dealer you bought it from. It should be under warranty if you bought it new in the last few months. Did they install the pipe and filter? Do you have it jetted? Some won't honor warranty if you mod it in the slightest. I have had mine close to a year now and haven't had to adjust the valves. WIth the full pipe I have always jetted every bike I have owned. Slip ons it never mattered.

 

i put on the pipe and filter, but they jetted it. i hope its nothing serious, its just not the throttle response i wish i had. i dont know what is going on, its not bad tho, im just really cautious

 

sorry but maybe you can answer my ? i have an 01 rappy with a white bros. e series pipe and not jetted and a stock 04 seems like it has a little more punch going threw the gears is this because i should jet mine?

 

could be. jetting is a nessessity for maximum gains. and it runs better and more eficiently. take off u lid and jet it to that too.

 

When installing a performance header and can (muffler) I would say you should jet it. The header opens the exhaust more which in turn you would need more from the starting end, hence the filter and jets for your air/fuel mix. All in combination seem to even out the distribution of power. Jet kits are not very expensive. I noticed a hesitation in mine when I went to the EHS racing lid and had to go up with my jet size. It runs great now. I have had my raptor since early june of last year. Check your plugs for problems and watch your oil and coolant levels (raptors run HOT).





Also for you Raptor owners. I just recieved a recall on mine for a vibration problem that shakes air bubbles in your brake lines. Check with your dealers.
