Hey all. I just got my 2001 Raptor 660R, the carbs just need to be cleaned since it was sitting for 2 years. anyway, i was trying to start it, and the motor was turning over fine, but i came back later to try it again, and it turned it over for like, 4sec, then a buzzing noise came out of where the battery connectors are. Now the motor turns over for 1 sec and starts buzzing.. .Is the battery just dead? thanks.

 

Your batteri is dead or your termanls are loose

 

im going to go tighten them all, oh, and i checked those two little fuses and their good. Danm! this thing is built SO much better and more advanced then my Lt250r might i add!

 

I went from a 91 LT250R to a Raptor as well. Night and day difference. I kinda miss the 250 sometimes. I wish I would have kept it.

 

i tightend everthing, same thing. Its just like a wineing noise coming out of the battery area...

 

your battery is dead then or going dead jump start or use jumper cables get it started and let it run for about 15mins then turn it off then try to start it again if it dont then your cells are burnt out time to get a new battery

 

When the quad is running, it is charging the battery?

 

it should unless your cells are burnt out of the battery

 

yea it the battery cencer....bump start it..it will charge itself ...if it doesnt last long til the battery goes dead agean change the battery

 

Well, i have almost everything removed from my raptor right now. I took off the battery and i am charging it at 2amps over night. also, i took the carbs off, and Man! they have this green gunk all in them! i will clean those out tommarow. I just wanted to know out of curioisity, when i put my quad in 1st, and pull in the clutch, the motor still is engaged, but when i go into like, 4th or 5th, then the clutch works. Do you think i just need new plates? or does it only work when the motor is running? thanks.
