have been riding my raptor now for a week. hit a few small jumps, some wooded trails. have not yet been able to take it to the sand pits to climb some big hills, but am SURE it will do just fine.
have not had any problems yet

ride hard and ride safe

 

PUT A FILTER ON THE CRANKCASE VENT.

 

Hi SebraTrailer,

I would like to purchase the filter for the crankcase tube. Can you buy these filters at any yamaha dealer or do they sell them in the aftermarket?

Thank You,

IronBear

 

thanks zebratrailer for the info. iam going to call my dealer see what they say about this problem . do you know of any type of filter that would work or where to get one? now i have to find a 12 tooth front sprocket for the raptor.so far no problems. changed my oil once seem to have no dirt in it. any info on oil filters?.thanks again

 

I GOT MY RAPTOR BACK TODAY, THEY SAID PUTTING A FILTER ON IT MAY VIOD WARRANTY,SO TALK TO YOUR DEALER...OOPS. I BOUGHT 3 OIL FILTERS TODAY AT THE DEALER, 19.00 EACH.

 

You got ripped. pal! Filters should only cost $10-$12, depending on how bad the dealer wants to pork you. I bought mine for $11. At least ask for a tube of KY jelly when you buy your next filter for $19! OUCH!

 

$19...I bought an R1 filter (which is longer with 2 more drain holes) for $11. Have you checked your crank case hose to see if it is sucking air? Mine pushes air.

 

Not to sound stupid, but where exactly on the engine is the Crankcase vent?

The vent is under the left carb and attaches to the lower end of the motor (or crank case). It's job is to expell air that is built up by the combustion process.

 

Thanks for the quick response garyc660r.. Is there a hose or tube coming out of that vent?

Thanks!
