Is anyone near their Raptor so you can check the the 2 tubes coming out of the intake passageway (in between the filter box and the carbs) and see where they run too. Also, if you don't mind, check the tube in the intake passageway before the filter box. Here is the intake photo on this site https://atvconnection.com/editor/rev.../airintake.jpg The image is small, but if you go to the Raptor review, the intake image is almost full screen. Thanks!

 

What are we supposed to look for?

The photo I posted shows the 2 tubes that attach to the intake passageway (between the air box and the carbs). If you are near your ride, could you see where those tubes run too (can't wait till this evening when I get off of work).

 

Gary,

I just looked. I didn't take my airbox lid off, so I couldn't be certain on the left one, but the right one appears to run directly into the back of the right side carburetor.

Does this mean anything spectacular or just curious?

 

No...not really. I was just hoping they went to the crank case. So the tube before the filter is a crank case breather or a crank case overflow?

AND This has what to do with the price of Tea in China?

Why are you so excited, even if it was a crank case vent?

MY guess is that they have something to do with pressure equilization, kind of like the balance tube(boost bottles) on banshees. Is that why your excited?
You thinking of strapping a boost bottle on and seeing what it does or what? I think its just for balance or for idle airflow maybe.

 

My primary concern was that the tube that connects to the intake before being filtered was letting dirty air in the bottom of the engine. After reading Atvinstructer's last post under "Choking Raptor..." it must be a overflow only since his Warrior is set-up the same way (and has not had any troubles). I may have "jumped the gun" after reading about someone else having troubles with dirty oil in their Raptor.
