Thought this would make a fun / informative thread.

As I am waiting until sometime in August to get my Raptor LE and am extremely bored. I have no other atvs to ride at this moment and hate waiting for "the phone call"


Is there anything i should seriously be doing before i bring this thing home? Money is a major issue now, as I am on a skeleton budget.

I already have a nice spot for it in our garage and a trailer to pick it up.

 

work out your arms and legs!!

 

Pretend your riding your Raptor

 

If you bought any kind of warrenty break out the vasoline and get throughly lubed up if anything goes mechanically wrong.....


I don't know honestly..... Just save as much money as possible so that you'll have a reserve for the maintnance items such as:

-Oil(and oil filters)
-Brake pads
-bearings/bushings
-chain and sprockets
-tires
-etc

Toys are no different than automobiles. Alot of people just look at the payment when purchasing and don't think about the maintnance, up keep and insurance(you may not have/need it). All these things cost additional money and usually are not taken into consideration when purchasing. Just make sure that you can maintain it and not "just" pay for it...

 

oh i understand the maint/breakdowns. I had a 200x and a 350x growing up & took pretty good care of those.
