RAPTOR CLUTCH PROBLEM
#1
Has any one had any problems with clutches on their raptors.I raced mine for my first ever ATV race at a hare scrambles race in Fort Smith arkansas last weekend and it appears that I either broke something inside ,or fried the clutch beyond existence.The truly sad part of the story is that I was in 1st place with about a 10 min. lead on 2nd.With only 10 min. left of a 2 hr. race. Now before all you raptor haters post about how unreliable or cheaply made this bike is
bear in mind that Fort Smith Ark. recieved 4.5 inches of rain the 2 days before this race.which made it a true test for any 4 wheeler.In spite of my bad luck I must say that my raptor exceeded every expectation of what I wanted it to do for me.2nd to last on the start.1st after approx.3 miles after the start.Raced four stroke class.
Class was infested with 400ex's,and a couple of warriors (which were buddies of mine).Even though
my bike is broken for now, I still must say what
an excellent job Yamaha did in designing this bike.
P.S. I will post some race photos when I figure out how to.

I too had the clutch fade away totaly, but i stoped and let it cool and it was fine!! there was a couple of post in this forum a few weeks back and if i recall 4-5 guys had a clutch problem, My dealer says yamaha hasn't seen a string of them go bad yet and has no answer as to what the problem is! Let me know what your dealer says !
