I had bought a brand new 660 raptor in 2003. Put a Yoshimura pipe and headers on it. Put a K&N Pro flow air filter kit on it. Jetted the carbs dont remember exactly the size. It was 150-155 or 155 -160. Went up one tooth on front sprocket. Put in a wiseco high compression poston standard bore. AND ALSO A WEBB CAM . Had the head ported and polished and stiffer valve springs 3 angle valve job. We did go with a higher Rev limiter but i can remember what rpms were.And you want to talk about power and fun as hell to ride. That set up sounded good to without being all noise. It was a great set up for a good all around ride and dependability was great. Never blew up or gave problems

Great videos man, glad I found your channel!

I'm in the process of rebuilding/ restoring my 05 Raptor 660SE. I've already went thru the suspension and replaced all bearings and bushings as well as new rear axle guts. New chain and sprockets. Fixing little things here and there. I was ready to start it and it wouldn't start. Im sure the carbs need a good cleaning. This video really helped me out. I may be writing you back again if I run into issues. I gotta get my baby going again. Bought her new in December 2004, she's been down 3 years. But not much longer.

Next time instead of JB weld, for aluminum you can use aluminum brazing rods. 12:12 I know it’s thin but I’m sure you can get it to stick, maybe use some scrap aluminum or shavings as a filler as well.

Great buy for $600, even if you do not get it running - doubtful - think you can cobble a new one together or use the parts in your vast inventory

I had to buy a whole needle and seat kit to get that oring. They didn’t sell it by itself on my bike and it was hard to find. $40 for the kit. I found it on eBay for $20.

I wouldnt call that a racing quad. Its a recreational riding quad at best.

The discoloration on the fenders you can use a little fire to bring the color back

@2vintage you can fix the white appearance to the rear plastics. When plastics bend they get white appearance from micro cracks and stretching of the plastic. All you need is a heat gun on high. Hold about 2 to 3 inches from the plasic. Move back and forth along the white line. When you see it start to change. Work small fast circles in the area then move along as it goes back to original color. Basically melting the micro cracks and stretch back together. When it starts to change start moving faster. You dont want to burn the plastics. Then spray when hot with tire shine to give an ultra gloss look. When you get the hang of it please show it on a video. pls thanks

That works to bring the color back but instead of using tire shine clear coat it or the white discoloration will come right back the clear coat helps hold the shine and color longer.

Just got a 660r and was going through your channel for some help on my rebuild. Got it all fixed today 🤘🏾 what spare parts do you have?

For as much money you are making now its awsome to see you get excited still when you find a good deal.

Are you gonna do any more modern sleds in the winter like late 90’s early 2000’s?

Great deal. Glad this one worked out in your favor

Great deal for 600. I however do not believe I would sell it to someone without a new oil tank. Knowing its just held on with some JB weld putty and selling to someone I don't feel would be correct.

This guy taught me a lot now I fix my bike for free cuz of u wish u the best men🤘🏼

Looks like beans are off. Whatever you do don't drip any gas on that blacktop. Good job on that quad

Nice score! Do you happen to have a extra blue hood grill cover you'd part with?

oil leak on driveway use some dawn dish soap and a bit of water. Work it with a push broom. Soak up with old t shirts. That saved my bacon one time.

New video coming up with an old mini bike.

Was a big backcountry fan even had a couple until i rode a friends assault. Been sold on them ever since. Dipped into the khaos for 2 seasons and now waiting on another assault they are tough to beat. Btw i knew about the recalls but i didnt tell my sled for 2 seasons but finally broke the news to it in the summer time. Never seen a police officer pulling over recalled sleds lol

Joe, I had an 01 for many years. Built the engine on it due to oil comsumption and I couldn't keep the intake valves adjusted. If you have to tear it down, a couple tips. Get the vesrah stainless intake valves, the titanium ones just tulip and wear out. Also, stick with stock compression or close, the starter clutch on those and the gear it rides on is pretty weak and just can't handle any more compression. They do offer an upgraded gear and billet starter clutch, but they don't last either. Great stuff man, motivates me to fix a few again!!

Timining chain is rattling.. check tensioner or get manual adjuster..

Watch out for second gears dogs going out ! Common issue, Sold mine for 1500 with a bad tranny after second gear dogs got messed up

If you take a torch to the rear fenders it will take out the spots. That happens when it gets rolled and fenders get flexed or folded.

Bit of advice Joe,if you've got oil on your new driveway,pour some dish cleaner on and leave it. Don't dry blasting it off,oil eats new tarmac.

Hey Joe, are those the Harbor Freight folding ramps? I just bought some of these and they come soon. Seems like you use yours a good bit and was curious if you’ve had any issues. 600 for that quad is a heck of a deal!

Joe you got lucky again!!! LIKE CHRISTMAS ISN'T IT ;-)

Great background honking at 18,000 feet. Yahooooo

Hi seems to be the colder weather that causes Electics to fail, plus a weak battery, I got a cover for mine, lets hope for no break downs this time.

Even your dog's telling you to stop reving it why it's a neutral

Think I still got 3 sets of those carbs sitting around in the shop, done a lot of work o. The Raptors, a few of them were just beaten to hell and back and needed more work that owners wanted done , so they're in back covered up for now. Gonna offer them a little for each. Both are without main plastics. They were torn down a ways when they were brought in. One has all peripherals removed, both have aftermarket aluminum oil tanks, so does mine. Be care,she's fast. Enjoy!!

This is unbelievable how fortunate you get on many of these buys/repairs/flips. The previous owner knew how to take things apart, not tighten the bolts back down, and buy and accumulate parts, but not how to get it running. Hope I he sees this video and learns some stuff, but probably not.

Excellent video and find

You did it again my man!!!🇺🇸⭐️

Joe, have you ever considered doing anything with ultralights or small engine flying vehicles ?

looks like the chain you bought that was to thick for the dirt bike.

You can braze that oil tank with nickel bronze rod and a torch. It will hold forever. 45% silver hard solder is even better.

Beast of a quad I remember having a go of one ages ago when I first started riding my cr125 had a little blast was like nope u can have it hack the thing felt like it was gonna kill me and I rode my uncles mate kx250 too dunno I can't explain why I had that feeling and rode quick bikes too

If you ever feel you're getting a little overloaded with Dirt Bikes, I know someone who will go over there, buy, and take away anything you want to sell. (Caplan Cycles) Vernon, Connecticut. I think he has a huge box truck.

I’ve owned maybe 7 raptors and they are so easy to work on plus make good power

I bought one of these in 2001 brand new for $5800 kept it a year before the transmission started acting up. All the forums were reporting the transmissions were bad. Even having plastic parts in them. So I sold it immediately for $4800 so I basically paid $1000 to ride it for year.
