hop blip and a jump Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Move the footpegs back to the rear holes, and turn the handlebar clamps to the rear offset. It lightens up the front end and helps with grip!! and make sure you put semi synt oil in it not fully synt!!! it helps with the clutch. You'll love it, they are an excellent bike..

I will be putting my raptors on tomorrow so will do it then Is it just me or does the throttle mechanism seem a bit open to damage???? and is the rear sprocket massive or what.

hop blip and a jump Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 The throttle set up on the carb is quite exposed, but i've never had a problem with mine!! The sprocket is big the only thing i found is its close to the swinging arm and if a stone gets in there it put a stinkin silver scrape on that lovely black sprocket!!!
