Man thank you so much for the videos on the raptor!!!! I’m not the best mechanic and don’t know everything about 4 wheelers and don’t really have people to help me figure things out…. So thank you again and please keep making these educational videos on the raptor!!! Not skipping adds either lol

thanks for the video man, that 2x4 and hammer did the job

When I reinstall cover is there anything special to be done or just install same as taken off . I need to have oil feed line rethreaded

Why didn't you wash it before you took it. Apart?

Head gasket?

Were so the three long bolts go in the valve cover the longest three two on the side and were does the last one go trying to assemble an engine it came disassembled

It should be the next one towards the front after the longest one on the outside

Can someone tell me real quick if they make a gasket for this or does it always get Yama bond?

I have two holes in the cylinder head. That's is my only problem. 01' 660 Raptor can I take it to a machine shop..

What kind of holes.....? If pieces of the head are missing then I doubt they can do anything l

Do they still not make a gasket for this?

Hello sir I’m having a problem with my 2004 raptor 660r .. it’s sucking air Through the exhaust instead of pushing out air when I try to start it 😬 if you have any information on why it’s doing that I would really appreciate it thanks

Hi I have a question for everyone on here Looking for some help I have a 2003 Yamaha raptor 660R fully stocked parts and carburetors issues can anyone please tell me how many turns out for each carburetor air/Fuel mix screw turns To get them both to run up hill without hesitation please anyone help Thank you

The screws should only help when idling and taking off from a stop, before I did my tear down I had both of mine 3 full turns out

The screws aren't the reason it hesitates going up hill. They only effect idle.

Normally for any carb you run all the way in then out 2-2.5.turns. But that’s only a starting point. You could end up in or out from there anything over about 3.5 and the springs may not keep the screws in place. But you have other issues as the air/fuel screws are only for idle and just off of idle. By 1/4 throttle you aren’t even on the pilot circuit any longer. You likely need to pull the carbs pull the bowls and clean them. Do not bother separating the 2 carbs just go through float needles and every jet 1 at a time if you haven’t been in there before. Don’t use carb cleaner on the O rings because it will swell the float needle O rings and the bowl gaskets and they will not go back! Not trying to cut into anyone else’s business. Just offering experience. This is actually very common on these. Especially since alcohol is now in most gas. These quads were not made to run alcohol gas even 5 percent is caustic. And will oxidize the whole carb system.

Do you have to take the spark plug out

You don't necessarily have to, if you're not taking off the head I'd leave it in to prevent any dirt from going down the hole and onto the piston

No gasket?

Nope. It calls for yamabond. But permatex ultra grey works very well and won’t be as much trouble coming back off. You won’t need a 2x4. Use barely enough. Many raptors have been taken out by silicone globes in the oil pump.

I never understood why they put two carburetors on one cylinder

Better throttle response. Two small carbs equals better performance than one large carb.
