hey wondering if there is a easy and quick way to change out the jets on the raptor????? when i had the card jetted they had to take the entire carb out and do it that way, is there a easy way so you dont have to take everything apart??thanks for any info
i am running at glamis for thanksgiving and wanna make sure i have the jets i need to run there!

 

I wish there was but unfotunately you pretty much have to go through the song and dance every time you want to change the jets.

You can leave them attached to the cables but you will need to get them out of the intakes and carb boots in order to get it upside down to access the mains.

 

Yup, gonna be spending some time when messing inside the carb...Just think of it as quality time with you and your quad.

 

I hear that the dial-a-jet works pretty good. It may be something to get for the Raptor if you don't like tearing it down.

 

My buddy is running dial-a -jet on his sisters rappy and says it's just a bit rich but really likes it...she has the CT racing pipe and a K&N filter setup....if it helps any...I'm running a 142.5/147.5 with a R-4 slip-on and a pro design dual stage foam filter with no lid and lots of holes drilled in the air box...I used to run a 145/150 but that was just a bit fat. Kenz Cycle Tech dyno tuned it for me at that 142.5/147.5 jetting good for 42 h.p.

 

Itallian,

That seems a bit lean. I wonder if something is wrong with your bike.

Have you checked your valves lately? I let mine go a while and the wear on the valve caused it not to close all the way. You have to keep slacking the intake valves on a Raptor or they leak.

I ended up going leaner on my jets until I figured out what was going on cause it felt fat. Another symptom was hard starting.

This could be why your sister beats you.

Just a thought.

 

Yeah..what your saying makes sense but the valves were the first thing we checked...It seemed lean even to Ken...He thought that if I put a header on it that I could bump it back up to 145/ 150....I can still run the 145/150 ...works great at the dunes..but the 142.5/147.5 works really well here locally.None the less..the motor is out and the frame is in preparation for my custom Stallion 690 with the works including an 02 tranny upgrade.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

That 690 kit should solve the problems.
