If you could make an effort to get in touch with me when you get the new gear and find out if its a different one I would much appreciate it. Just dont want to chance missing your post in the forum. What dirtwheels issue do they say that (the raptor is a great bike besides its questionable reliability issues)I seemed to have missed that one??Text

I have broken the trainy in my raptor 2 times and the 1st time i didn't think yamaha was going to repair it. After a lot of going round and round with them they repaired it. It is now broke again and broke the the same thing!! They say right now that they are only going to pay for half of it but this i must say is a major problem!! YAMAHA NEEDS TO GET OF THERE A** AND FIX IT!!

I acutally havn't had it replaced yet... My dealer is too backed up, so i've been babying it around for a while...
For thoes of you who have ripped your carb boots, my left side boot ripped when the carb popped off also. It tore right in the middle of the grove where the clamp sits, and ripped half way around. When I ordered one at the dealer, they told me it would be two weeks at the soonest. So I ordered it anyways, but went home and figured out how to fix it temporarily. What I did was degreased the thing with carb cleaner, dried it off, then drippled CA glue in the rip, and held it together for about a minute. I then wrapped the whole thing in electrical tape, and called it fixed.
My new boot came in almost a month later. During this month, I did quite a bit of hard riding. When I pulled the boot off to put the new one on, I was expecting it to be ripped (since the boots had popped off a few times because I was afraid to crank the clamp down real tight) and that just the tape was sealing the hole. However, the glue held. I'm going to keep that boot just in case I rip another one.
BTW, does anyone know what the capped off riser tube is for on the left side intake boot?

If anybody has gotten their false neutrals fixed, can they please give me the name and number of the dealer that was helpful in resolving the matter, so I can have my dealer fix mine also.
