my brother has a 01 raptor, the problem is it only fires one time then stops. Its getting fuel and sounds like it wants to crank when you first hit the starter button. Then ilt just turns over. Change the coil thinking maybe it was bad. New coil does the same thing. The plug will only fire on the first rotation thats it. I road the bike just a couple hours before it started this. Has anyone ever experienced this or know what it might be? Next step is replacing the CDI box. But thought maybe it could be something simpler. Any help would much be appreciated, he just bought this bike used and wants to ride bad. Thanks in advance

 

Disconnect the rectifier/regulator and try it again... if it runs, the stator has a short and needs to be replaced.

 

Will do, I'll try it and repost to let ya know what happens. Thanks

 

unplugged rectifier and the bike cranked right up. Going to buy a stator. Thanks for the help Quad-Maniac.
