I bet it was cracked when it was put on the machine as it went down the line. They wouldn't catch something like that. When I got mine home it had oil and grease flims all over it from the factory. Even if someone saw some oil they might not even think anything about. Mine was an oily mess right out of the crate. Chet

RAPTORYFM660R-
Someone at the dealership did not do a good job prepping your quad. All quads from Honda and Yamaha come drenched in oil from the factory. I guess so they don't rust on the boat ride over. Whenever I stop by the local honda dealership to pick up crates. I know the setup guy and he uses Hondabrite to cut the oil off.

Ryan99,
It might have been because I took it right after they had uncrated it earlier in the day and didn't have time to wipe it clean. I didn't mind it to much. I was so excited just getting the Raptor at that time.
