i should be picking up a raptor on tuesday or wednesday i wanted to know how every body broke their engine in

 

First 20 hours keep it under 6500 rpms, don't ride at a steady rpm (bad for cam break-in) Do not lugg it or overheat it!!! At 10 hours change oil & filter, At 20 hours change oil & filter, adjust valves & new spark plug. then let it rip!!

Enjoy your New Raptor & ride safe![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Ride by your self, it's boring, but you won't be tempted to open it up. Or do like a guy I know did let his little sister ride it (she is about 17 on a farm with nothing better to do). Never got it out of 3rd gear, or so she said. Next thing you know 20 hrs. Better safe than sorry.

 

the first 20 hrs sucks, it's sooooooooo hard to ride it easy

 

Just ride it like ya stole it! I broke mine in hard because thats the way I want it to run. Besides if it breaks before the 20 hours then the dealer has to fix it!

 

I agree with you since I broke it in as I went racing last year down in TT250 race. Never had any problem yet of the motor. Except I just put a new pipe of LRD and few days later the tranny start to go on 2nd gear since it an 01 Raptor. So I am putting in Fortin gears set.
