Raptor Chapter

Cheers for the tips folks. I think it was something more simple. Discovered when fitting tank I removed battery and sensor behind it to get battery out. Not sure what the sensor is but it has a short moulded pipe. Could be air temperature. 1st thing I noticed was the sensor had come away from mounti...

Cheers for the advice. Bike was repainted and tank was sealed before paint. Was completely dry and E5 super only used. I've had coil packs give intermittent faults on other bikes. Is the fuel filter within the pump housing? If so I should've replaced when tank was sealed. In my mind it feels electri...

Hi All. Help needed please! Out this morning and bike started cutting out or missing a cylinder with rev counter bouncing off zero at same time. 2001 VRap 1000. Filled with fuel and it seemed to be fine for about 50 miles then started again. Any suggestions???? I'm thinking potential coil pack issue...

All sorted thanks to Sheepracer. Turns out our V-Raps were supplied from same dealership. I'll try and post some pics after bike is finished

Cheers Sheepracer. Could you pls text with idea how much you need for them?? Thanks

Thanks for response. I have end cans and planned to have them TIG welded onto std system. Out of interest how much would you need for them? Obvs I have to pay fir welding my end. Also need to take into account what I can get for ART cans

Hi All. Been a few years since I last posted. Looking for some help is possible. After several years of running very loud Art cans I'm looking to fit std silencers after repaint. Thing is I have the cans but the heat shields are missing. Any suggestions??? Its like trying to find rocking horse poo!!...

All sorted. Word to the wise - when checking fuses always remove each one. Had a 15 amp fuse that'd blown but by simply tilting each fuse and checking you can't see if its blown on one side and not the top!!!! What a numpty lol. Anyway I found some stuff that needs redone in the process which is goo...

As it happens previous owners had messed with indicator connectors so worthwhile stripping front end. I'll sort them before rebuild

Hi All. Quick update. Turns out stripping front end didn't work. All wiring traces to multiplies below tank which I've cleaned with switch cleaner. Still have niggling this is relay related. Only electrical issues I've had with bike was starter relay which I replaced 3 yrs ago. Any ideas??

Cheers. In process of stripping front end down atm lol. About 100 pieces so far. Seems strange it happened when bike cut off when using side stand. Usually just key. Wish me luck lol

John here from County Down, Northern Ireland. Proud Raptor thou owner this past 6 years and love it. 2001 in red with belly pan and Art cans. 900 Hornet rear shock to stop head shaking by lifting back end slightly. Have all std bits just in case. Bit if a technophobe so don't know if I can post a pi...

Hi All. Went on a charity ride out through Mourne Mountains, County Down today and it turned out to be a nitemare! Got a rear puncture, then at a filling station I stopped to get puncture repair gunk to get me home. When I pulled up at station the bike - 2001 V Rap 1000 - was in gear, and I put down...
