I bought a brand-new raptor, and it's due for its first maintenance, the dealer suggest that you bring it in after a little while so they can do it. I was just wondering what they actually do? I'm guessing that they change the oil (which I've already done twice) and adjust the valves? I bought a clymers manual for it, so I was thinking of doing this work myself instead of paying 70 dollars an hour at the dealer. Does anyone know what they do at the dealer when you bring it in?
Thanks

 

Change oil, adjust valves, make sure bolts are tight, lube and wash it. Shouldnt take you more than 4hrs if your barely popping your valve adjusting cherry. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] You'll be a pro on the 3rd time and will be able to do it in about 1hr.

 

I did it all myself too.But mines the 350.The dealers IMO are a ripoff,same thing here $65.00 an hr.Kiss my backside!Of course mine might be a little different,but if you are going to ride I think a person needs to learn how to work on then too.My valves were easy once I got the right damn feeler gauge,nothing like the sound of being .015-.020 thsnds off.Don't forget to check your drive chain adjustment,lube cables,levers.
