Hey guys i have an 01 rappy and i know all about the tranny probs. Has anyone heard of east coast atv? Their website Well they offer a new Raptor motor for $1,900.. now when i heard this i was like wow thats cool. lol. Because its around $1,400 for your dealer to replace the tranny for you so i figured for 500 bucks more just get a whole brand new engine!

Now my question to you guys is have you ever heard of this company? What would you guys do? This sounds like a decent deal to me isn't it or ....

Thanks in advance -Matt-

 

If I had to do something, I would buy a honda [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Now why would you even waste your time to post something this lame for this thread. We all no Honda's $UCK in the Yamaha Forum so get out.



Now back to the original question = Yes for that amount I would have purchased one.

 

You have a Minnesota brain freeze. Sorry you are brain damaged by my roost. Stop being a douche and posting like you do.

 

I know East Coast ATV deals in alot of used parts. Are you sure this isn't a used motor? Then if you get a 01 you'll have the same trouble all over again. Plus if your going that far and want to savethe money I would do it myself. Raptor Tranny .com makes it a real easy job. I can't remember for sure, but I think its less than $600 in parts.

 

Hey i called up a couple places and Ripper racing Ripper Racing has the tranny upgrade for $730 with a $100 core charge so in the end it will be about $630..

But im not confident going into my motor and doing somthing stupid and itll break worse on me. Is this really this easy to change the tranny? I am not that mechanically situated in my home, I do have all the tools and ive changed the clutch and one-way before, how does this job compare?

Now what i could do is use my 01 motor and use it as a project motor to replace the tranny, and also buy a new motor from East Coast atv East Coast ATV and use that motor in my raptor. Im not sure whats easier and what im thinking of doing is a **** load of money. What would you do?

 

I didn't see a new engine on their site.

 

I just got off the phone with them and he said for a <u>great shape </u> used 2002 + .. raptor motor it would be around $1,900 to $2,000 hmm.. i dont know why it isn't on there site but call them and theyll explain .....What should i do?

 

Well not to brag to much but I just picked up a 2003 motor with less than 50 hrs on it on ebay for 1500.00 It looks like new!!

 

Really did you get it? was it real or a scam? who would sell a motor? lol thats what i want to kno.. probably somone who messed up the frame a lot right? also why did you buy a new motor? what are you doing with your old motor? if its not 01 ill buy it..
