Default 03 Raptor...loosing power?

Alright, my buddy greg has an 03 raptor, and it has few hours on it, but it seems as thought it losing power, like from when he got till now, its lacking power for some reason?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]..is there anything he can check or do?

Thanks
Sean

Make sure the Air filter and it's housing are not saturated with gasoline. Make sure you don't have watered down gas, make sure the vent hoses on the carb are not pinched or plugged, How many hours on it, maybe it needs a valve adjustment. Make sure the carbs are not loose or there is otherwise a vacuum leak anywhere. Are the breaks or chain dragging. Is the rear axle bearing turning freely...... Is it smoking with burning oil? Is it loosing compression?? Is the plug damaged?? Do you have a dirty carbeurator or is the float level incorrect...?

If you've checked all that stuff, and still can't find the problem.....get help from a dealer.....I've had them fix stuff within an hour of me dropping a machine off....
