I need help with my raptor. I only ride it and have never worked on it so please be blunt.
My Raptor seems to die when give it any amount of throttle. Today this happened right away but this problem has happened before after running it for about 20 minutes. It acks like it's running out of gas but the tank is full. If I let it sit for 5 minutes is starts up and runs but at this point I'm ready to put it away for the night. PLEASE HELP before I call the dealer. Thanks

 

read your manual on how your parking brake works. it sounds funny, but if your raptor thinks the brake is set it will idle, but not run over like 2500rpm. check it out. they are known to stick . ive had problems and so has a friend of mine. good luck !

 

you can also check your boots on your carbs if they came lose it will act that way.
at least mine did.

1st Buy a shop book
2nd check the choke cable
3rd if your still not comfortable working on it bring it to your dealer

 

I bet ur whole problem is that ur AIR FILTER IS VERY DIRTY.. mine shuts off when my filter gets dirty.. i ride with about 8 other raptors and tehya re all teh same way... i clean mine every 2 rides.. so check under ur seat for teh air filter.. clean it and i bet it will run like NEWWWWWWW... MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.......

 

Yall forgot the simplest thing, check the vent hose on the gas cap. If it's kinked or plugged it'll run for a few minutes and then die.
