since the raptor motor is shot i am considering dropping in a motor other than the 660. whatever happened to lock it up....happened in the bottom. it is 2002 so i dont think it is the tranny. i am looking at like an R6 motor or something like that. what would be a good motor to drop in?

 

Can I have your old motor??

 

gotta rebuild and have a back up! i can see where the rod was hitting something. what ever is on the back side of the rod........it was hitting that. i havent split the cases yet so i dont know what happened.

 

Ouch, sounds like you are talking about the counter balancer.

there is some pretty good instructions and pictures on my site for tearing it down if you need.

 

oh.......also i have never wrecked it other than hitting a deer but i didnt roll it or anything. but today when i went for the tear down.........the top motor mount bar was broken. it was broken near the frame. i new that bastard was loosing bolts left and right b/c of vibrating but i didnt thing i had anything broken.

 

I've heard of this engine has great power reliability Up the a##, I think it's called a ROTAX!

 

I know you were making a crack on Raptors but, that would be a worthwhile adventure I think. Although the sprocket is on the wrong side.

 

Turn the hub over. I've seen Rotax engines on E-bay.

 

Doh! I've never had my axle apart. So I'm stupid in that area. The Bomb motors come with more power, put in a lighter frame and you've got a pretty strong motor. They're more costly to mod but make good power when you do. They've prooven to be way more reliable than Raptor motors for sure.

 

Those rotax engines are bad ***!! They are in ATK motorcycles from Utah and they rock. I believe they are snowmoblile engines originally but, they are backwards (left leg kick)
