well my oil tank has cracked arond where the drain plug screws in and i took it to a machine shop to get them to weld it up but it still leaks. i guess i'll have to buy a new one, does neone know if there is a company that makes a aftermarket oil tank for them like the 400ex's?
thanx

 

Check out http://www.crashers.com/ppdracing/raptor.html they sell a trick looking aftermarket oil tank for the raptor.

 

thanx man, u dont know how much i appreciate finding one. it sure is expensive though. i wonder how much a stock one is

 

You are looking at 180.13 for a stock Raptor Oil Tank.

I'm not certain if that comes w/ anything besides the tank. It is listed as an Oil Tank Assembly.

What a frickin' rip! Get the Pingry's tank for the extra 100 bucks. It's worth it. I like mine.

 

how did your stock one get cracked if you dont mind me asking?

 

I was kind of wondering the same thing. Over tighten? Hit something? Design problem?

 

i dont really know how it cracked.
i have stripped the paint offand had it kinda polished but i dont think that had anything to do with it. the only thing i know of is maybe over tightening the drain plug since it sticks down so far and prolly gets in a bind whenever u tighten it. or maybe even from vibration or something i dunno

 

Hey cspyy,
Call Bill Pingry at 661-822-7016 about their oil tank, it is way better than the stock tank, the Pingrys are personal friends of mine, they'll treat ya right.
