Hello all! A friend dropped off his Raptor for me to take a look at. The machine starts and runs fine, plenty of power, idles great. The problem is that there is a vibration and noise coming from the engine area. The noise and vibration seems to worsen while mobile in 1st gear. Could this be a connecting rod or piston pin issue? I'm going out now to check the engine mounting bolts. The vibration is not horrible but it is noticeable. Is this common on a Raptor?

 

I have a 2001 raptor 660. Runs fine just vibrated like crazy. The motor mounts kept coming loose. Check to make sure there tight and you should be good to go.

 

I'de check to see if all nuts/bolts are tightened...

 

Thanks guy's. I'll tighten all the mounting bolts and see waht happens.

 

Why not just put on some lock tite blue, heck even red and be done with it.
