Re: Mods for a life of commuting
the bike is already so quirky that I think the screen blends in well - no more painful neck when flat in top but I wonder how much it distorts at this point .

Re: First post - good to find the Forum
Sad to say after an all too brief membership that I have sold my Raptor now. There is a nice community on here, and I'm sorry that I never got to meet any of you but I will always go up to a Raptor owner in future to see if he's on here . Thanks in particular to Martin who posts and personal p.m.s h...

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Hope it's purring like a.. Dinosaur soon D.B. Alas mine is up for sale already as the bike of my dreams has come up at a price I can't ignore and I have way too many already. Won't be sorry if it doesn't sell as I have come to appreciate why they have such a following now and I think it has as much ...

Re: TPS setting cheat!
Unfortunately the bolts at the back hadn't moved, I had to loosen them to slide the bracket back as far as it would go and it was still a struggle to get the bolts back in :rant: Unfortunately I probably know what this is DD - A tell-tale sign that would confirm this would be water bubbles on the o...

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Thanks Andy that's a great help I have taken it for a run with the TPS set up approximately plus we have new cleaned injectors and so far it hasn't done the bucking bronco thing on the overrun so have fingers crossed that main problem has been cured.

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Yep Andy - just swapped out the TPS for another one but don't think it would cause above symptoms from being misadjusted but have had experiences on cars where TPS is faulty and behaving erratically - it's only a glorified potentiometer innit? : ). What I need to search for is the set-up procedure t...

Re: vrap 1000 wiring diagram
Thanks Spyke :) - slightly off-topic but reason I am studying diagram is to try and work out which (if any) sensors can be disabled without affecting performance as I contemplate removing all emission equipment and plumbing - can anyone point me to a thread that deals with this? if not I will just s...

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
managed to remove Datatool alarm and went for a ride to test plus after learning that I can monitor running temp :doh: (didn't even get a handbook with the bike) have been watching temp while riding with a view to Crap Tartan's notes on curing surge due to low temp. After much riding I can now say t...

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Thanks Spyke, congrats Dirtydog - didn't realise you were nearby. I don't know if you ride through the winter but would be good to meet up if you are up for it. I still haven't removed my Datatool alarm or raised rear suspension but about to go for another 100 mile plus trek tomorrow. I managed to g...
