Hello i am new to riding i have a 2003 raptor 660r bought it used i have had it for about 3 weeks now and never had a problem with it until yesterday the idle is fine but as soon as i give it some gas it goes pop pop pop and bogs down has any other raptor owners had this problem? if so how did you fix it????

 

with my work on cars it sounds like its either not fireing right or the carbs r junked

 

It sounds like your parking brake rev limiter (either on or stuck switch).

 

It sounds like you have something in one of your jets. I had the same problem with my XR250 that I had. It would start fine and idle all day but as soon as I gave it gas it would bog and sputter. My friend had the same problem with his bike. I would chek the parking brake switch first as sixsixT said. If it's not that I bet it's a clogged jet.

 

i agree
sounds like a great place to start

 

How do i check the parking break rev limiter? and if my jet is cloged how do i clean it???

 

I don't know about the parking brake, but to clean the jets you'll have to take the carbs off and then take them apart to check the jets. Hold the jets up to a light and look for something blocking it. I usually just usen use an airhose to blow out any blockages.

 

The switch plugs in to the top of your clutch perch. You can remove it by taking a small screw driver and pressing down on the tab while you pull out on it. Then check and make sure the little rod that sticks out of the end goes in and out freely. You could check the wires with an ohm meter to see if it's working also. Or you could just engage and release the p-brake a half dozen times and see if that doesn't make it work properly.

 

Thank you brent is this an easy task or should i take it in for service?

 

thanx again sixsixT i appericate it alot
