I bought the red and white 2005 660 raptor this weekend. It a blast to ride. My question is, "What is the best way to wash it." I've never had a four wheeler this clean. The white don't seem to show dirt as bad as thought. It want hurt it to hose the whole thing down will it? Any help would be appreciated. It's an amazing machine. LoL

 

just wash it like a car, but before you start it make sure there is no water in the airbox, and pull the little valve off that is on the bottom of the air box when you wash it, it wont let water out!!

 

Get some pics up.. I am still waiting for the call to hear my LE is in [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I was told to wash it w/ a hose and a brush/sponge... and that a pressure washer would ruin the stickers. give me 2 weeks or so and i will be in your position [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

that is true, a pressure washer can blow the stickers right off, wait untill it gets really dirty before you use that and then be carefull where you spray it, but a hose is fine anywhere!

 

For the white plastic, use Tide w/bleach laundry detergent when you wash it. It sounds weird, but it works better than anything else I've tried.
BTW, congrats on the new toy!

 

just make sure when you are hosing it down not to get a ton of water into your exhaust.

 

Here are pictures... Thanks for the post. I'll have to put a bag around the exhaust. I'm probably gonna wash it Thursday. It sucks it is gonna rain this weekend. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I hope the pictures work. If they don't.. I'll upload another way... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Oh yea! What kinda lock should I get for it. I want to chain it up to a support on the house...

 

Get as big and as strong of a lock as u can and get a thick heavy duty chain that wont be broke easily and wrap the chain with something like a rag so it doesnt brush against ur frame.. IMO i nice chain for 50 60 bucks is well worth protecting a 6,000 dollar investment

 

I agree.

 

Its rediculous that you have to chain up something like this, but I dang sure don't want it stole. Thanks for all the advice. I'm gonna chain it to the foundation post in the basement. If they cut the frame they it pretty much ruined anyway. I definitely am gonna rap it heavy in rags. I'd hate to scratch my frame. Thanks again for all the replies.
