OK i just got a new raptor and i cant seem to keep it running in a wheelie. with my LT250 i can go forever but the raptor stalls out or sputters when i lift it up going slow. is this normal for them or is something messed up? The person before me installed a K@N intake, jet kit and full exhaust on it and i was wondering if it might have a tuning issue. other than that it runs strong though. any ideas?

 

The carb's float height is probably too low and is starved for fuel on a wheelie.

 

Yep, carb problem

 

ok ill try adjusting the floats, somebody was telling me that it was normal and i found that hard to beleive.

 

Yeah every Yamaha I owned did it while doing real slow wheelies while almost straight up.

 

do you think adjusting the floats will fix it or is this just a yamaha thing

 

My buddy had a 660 and he used to do 12 o'clock wheelies all the time so you should be able to fix yours.
