04 yamaha 660 raptor

It has a little bit more power than the china blaster, I dont know just how much more yet but soon i'll have it out on the trails.

Nice! And with a name like "Raptor" you know it's gonna haul!

Congrats! 8)

It looks to be in excellent shape. Is it a single cylinder with a four valve head? If so, that's a giant piston.

That's a nice ATV.

it seems to like pulling the front wheels up for no reason

It's actually a single cylinder, 5 valve, two carb 5 speed manual with reverse.
Pretty similar to this engine 686cc of China Muscle
Standard piston is 100mm.(so about 4 inches's)

They have true dual exhaust kits for them as well as many other go fast goodies but with it able to hit 70-75mph in stock form off the showroom floor I doubt I'll need or want it to go any faster.

I put those new tires on it and last night I wanted to take pictures of it but as I backed it out of the garage I noticed it was binding up so off came the rear brakes.
I cleaned and lubed and got it all working smooth again even the parking brake which I like to be able to use.

It needs some maintenance/repair I think the worst being the lealking oil tank that seems to leak on every single one of these.There is an after market tank I want to get for it soon.

It did have a little slop in the steering at the pitman arm but I read it has a tapered spline so I snugged it up a little and it is fine now.

I still need to service the chain, change the oil and spark plug.

I want to mount a mirror on it so I dont have to look away to long looking back to see if the wife is still behind me.I would lose her easily with the china-blaster I expect her to end up far far behind me with this beast.

100mm! That's 350 Chev / 5.0L Ford territory.

That's a big piston.

The piston in my Honda XR650L is also 100mm in diameter.

Nice unit.

Big simple reliable air cooled strong Thumper.

Perfect sport quad motor.

TeamCheap · 09-28-2012, 04:35 PM

Actually its liquid cooled as well.

I am so hyped up on taking it up north next week I cant hardly wait, i'm like a kid waiting for christmas morning.

The good thing about having to wait is I can do more to it before riding it.

FastDoc · 09-28-2012, 05:01 PM

It looks brand new. 8)

I'm sure you'll have a blast! The new rubber looks great!

I suspect I'd probably kill myself on something like that... I've been known to fall down in the middle of the street...

It looks very good but it has its issues like the paint flaking off at all the welds he rode it in the winter so I plan to take it apart and have it powder coated this winter.

There are some scratches but nothing that shouldnt work out easily.

I am concerned about getting hurt on it or just shooting right off the trail and smacking a tree and the wife not seeing me.

I know how I am and the first 10-20 minutes will be the most dangerous I'll be having blast and getting a bit crazy with power but hopefully I'll maintain and just ride like an adult.

FastDoc · 09-28-2012, 07:49 PM

It won't go any faster than you make it go. Show discression and you will be fine. 8)

Not to jump too far off topic (well, kind of), is that a Sears Twin in the back ground?
