Bad Starter on Raptor 660???
Hi everyone....I'm new to the forums. I've been a long time reader, but never posted.....until now....I need some helpful advise...
I have an '02 Raptor 660, and just this past weekend, I was riding with some friends in the desert. We took a break, and shut the quads off...
...when I tried starting mine again, it sounded like the Starter Motor cranked over once, then as I held the Start Button, the Starter Relay box was making a fast paced ticking sound. I thought maybe the quad was hot, so I let it cool off. To make a long story short, It never started. Just the same one turn of the Starter Motor, than the ticking.
The quad has been sitting in my garage all week, and I just went out to start it......same story.
I think it's a bad Starter Motor, my friend thinks it may be a bad Stator........what do you guys and gals think???
Any help is greatly appreciated.....Thanks-a-million...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Thanks, bad350.......I thought it was the battery at first also, so I replaced it. The battery's definitely putting out juice, but the problem still exists.
I also checked all connections, even cleaned them with Contact Cleaner...to no avail....
This is the first problem I've had with my Raptor, so I'm freaking out....LMAO....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

As long as the battery connections are very clean and tight its likely that the realy is bad. I have seen several go bad.

I'm slowly eliminating the problem source.....so once I've figured it out, I'll post it here in case anyone else has the same issue....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Thanks again.....

...other than that, like I stated earlier...I'll drop the money on all possible parts related to the starting system.....It's a mission.....and its becoming personal....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

It's weird the relay made that clicking noise. Usually that is a sign of a dead battery. If not the battery, then the relay. I experienced both problems with similar symptoms. I would venture a guess to say it could be your starter button switch on the handlebars. I had to replace this on my 02. But it's expensive. I would double check your wiring harness and connections if you know it's not the battery or the relay. Take a test light and make sure all your hot wires are indeed getting juice.
Also, check the fuses in the relay.
