I think you probably had a maintainance issue. Remember it is a new model machine and not completly proven out yet. You need to do very tedious Checking for quite a while. I have a Raptor and it has served me well. But without checking over the machine I probably would have had problems myself.

 

Well seeing as how it was the oil pump locked down I hardly see that as a maintenance when I had only six hours on the machine. Just another flaw in the new design. Oh well have it back this weekend.

I'll tell you how to fix your raptor problem. Buy a 400ex. J/K. I'd love to have a raptor to. What's wrong with that guy. He got all mad and all you did was tell us what happened. I thought this was the point of this thing. I don't think your bringing our sport down at all.

 

WATCH OUT... Hondasrule some disgruntled yamaha fanatic is gonna flip out because of your "Buy a 400ex" comment.

 

the engine has been around for a while, in other bikes.

 

I thought that the motor had been around, but I thought that they did alot of changes to it also. And yes I did consider the 400 but I have always owned a Yamaha and decided to go with the best(MY OPINION) Not in no means bashing a Honda or others. I dont bash others ride.

Noticed on another thread that you were about to pick yours up from the shop. Did they offer a reason for the oil pump failure?

 

No I really never thought to ask. But I will though and share it with you all. I was just glad to have it back. We are suppose to get about 5 to 6 inches of snow tonight and we are gonna pull a inner tube behind it tomm. I hopefully will have lots of fun on it this weekend with no probs!
