RAPTOR1,

With the force that comes with this backfire, I don't think any clamp is going to hold it on. It will just rip the boots apart.

Mine did it again, this time, it was warm and it was just as throttle was applied right off of idle. My dealer called Yamaha tech support and they said that the boots should be replaced if it has done it a few times. To cure the problem, they said to richen the idle mixture and move the needle up one notch.

 

Nope, a lean condition will cause a backfire thru the carbs, especially upon acceleration.

This is a very serious condition that requires quick resolution, else serious engine damage can result.

 

D@mn it, Whats wrong with my raptor? I cant get it to backfire or bend anything, I been trying, so If I have a Problem I can get it fixed under warranty. Im sorry you guys are having bad luck but mine is running like a dream now. I just wish if anything is going to happen that it would happen to it Now.

 

YAMARAPTOR,

I called the dealer today and he said everything checked out o.k. and it was ready to pick up. and he also said since they had it all apart he went ahead and did the first service and told me there wold be no charge. so it seems my raptor breaking was not so bad after all!

 

Thats cool it probably saved you about $100 bucks.
I gotta order some oil filters, its time to change the oil. So maybe If mine does something ill get that done for free.

 

Paul V,

And neither has my Raptor. Running fine since early Sept.

 

WHAT IS THIS GUY WITH THE POLARIS EVEN READING OR REPLYING FOR THAT MATTER ON THE YAMAHA TOPICS, DUDE, PUT A BANSHEE MOTOR ON THAT HEAVY POLARIS AND YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING AFTER OF-COURSE YOU DITCH THE MCPHERSON STRUT SUSPENSION

 

And what do you ride CryinBryin

 

Scince I told you to put a Banshee powerplant on your PolarAss, and this is the Yamaha forums, my best guess would be a Banshee.......Hummmmmmm....

 

If a Banshee allows you to post in this forum, I'm sure a Kodiak will do as well. I take it you can read.
