Skyteam V-Raptor rider near Bremen, Germany
Dear Ladys and Gentlemen,
Since October 2016 I am an owner of a new Skyteam V-Raptor 250. I bought the machine via Internet. It is (was) a black one. Since then I've made a lot modifications and I like this fuel-to-energy system more and more! The raptor came in a carton box, reinforced by a steel frame. So I got a motorbike and raw material to build a support to lift the bike before reparations or modifications. Then I build it up on my own. Here are my modifications respectively optimizations: - remove of Stickers from the tank an the side Panels - covering the Fender and the side panels with black spray-foil, non-glossy - covering of tank with two component clear varnish, non-glossy - Building and mounting of a tool box - mounting a rev meter - changing head lamp - changing weights at the Ends of the handle bar - Building and mounting Motor protection - Building and mounting reinforment for the numberplate - Building and mounting a new Cockpit - enlargement of foot pedal of rear brake - mounting of daytime running light for the front - changing the bolt of the cickstarter pedal against M8 screw --> less vibrations while running - filled the Motor nearly completely with Motor oil (Mineral) while the clutch handle is drawn, one turn with the cickstarter, purging the oil until the small Window is still completely covered (more oil than specified by user Manual) --> now the clutch is working very soft! - Drilling with 17mm drill directly from the back into the muffler until there is no more resistance, protecting the surfaces with black oven spray --> much better Sound now! - mounting of a chain oiler - Building and mounting of an Instrument Support on the handle bar - I have already new tires for changing at home. I ordered the same Profile but made by Dunlop becaus I've read in several Forums that the original tires are not balanced. Until now I did not need new tires. - changing of the ignition coil because one day the digital rev Counter had no Signal and I had interuptions during the Motor runs in idle Speed. I used a new coil which I had as replacement for my MBK scooter. Now everything works fine. In total: I am very happy with the raptor. It is running now like a sewing machine. |

Those look like really neat bikes. I like the tires too.
For those of us who are ignorant, what's "spray foil"?

nice mods... looks like a playmobil for batman..
You mentioned you got this bike out of box and next mod will be a change of sprocket from from 12 to 13 teeth. I look in my manual and there is stated the final reduction 34/13. So...are you shure you have a 12 teeth sprocket installed now?? Pictures of my Raptor here: http://chinariders.net/showthread.ph...=Raptor&page=2 And I´m also very satisfied with this bike.

Hi,
the sprocket which came with the bike (out of the box) has 12 teeth (I counted them). Now I have changed to 13 theeth and the bike is running much better. You can find it for example on Amazon (Honda XR 250 R, ME06, Bj. 1995 | Maße Welle: 17,5/20mm | Lochkreis Sicherungsblech: 34mm | Höhe/Versatz: 7,2mm). I have not read the user guide of my bike. So I am not shure about the specification given there. Easiest way to check is to dismount the cover of the sprocket. Only two screws. Best |

false sprocket
sorry, I have made a mistake in the selection of the sprocket.
The sprocket for Honda XR 250 R has 5mm width of the cut-outs instead of 4 mm. So the chain makes a lot of noise. I have to change it. Now I will try a sprocketf for HONDA CR125 R 125 1985 JE01 HONDA CR125 R 125 1983-1984 JE01 This one has the following dimensions: - 13 teeth - small inner diameter 17.5 mm - inner diameter 20 mm - cut-outs widht 4 mm Sorry again! Best Maripas |
