have any one had any problems on there raptors besides the 01 tranny but the problem has to be caused by the bike not you!

 

no problems at all

 

The one way starter bearing is a problem on the raptor.

 

i know all about the starter and the tranny but i heard the suspesion and brakes is that true?

 

i've had no problems with my brakes or suspension, never heard of them being a problem either.

 

Ive not heard of brakes or suspension being a problem.

 

My oil tank kept cracking

 

I have had zero problems with my raptor. I have never heard of a problem with suspension or brakes either.

Tranny in the 01 models, starters rarely in others. Just keep it well maintained and you'll have to spend no extra dollars on repairs.

Getting your intake valves adjusted after a year is a good idea also (for those who rarely dig into the engine)

 

ok but the 01 i will be trading for is missing 2nd and R do you think the other gears 1,3,4,5 will break?

 

Buy it with the knowledge you will be repairing the tranny. If its still a deal and you can deal with the hassle of rebuilding the tranny, then go for it. The one way bearing is a fairly prevalent problem, every raptor owner I know in the area has an L&A one way in theirs. It only about $260 though.
