First Ride On Yamaha Raptor 660r Quad...(CRAZY)

[@2vintage]

What do you guys think that noise is? More to come on this quad! Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE the video if you enjoyed! It helps me out a lot! Thank you guys for all the support!

[@4dr13n07]

You should check the upper motor mount bracket (to the frame). Thoses bolts tend to break, maybe it can cause that noise. Might as well check the others motor mount.

[@94kdem]

Dynojet jet kit + air box mod + duncan racing fat boy exhaust = unbelievable amounts of power out these things. These 660's are very air restricted, so opening up both exhaust and air intake with the added fuel from the jet kit makes em insanely powerful.

[@worldrage619]

thats what i was wondering. my nuddies just got ahold lof a raptor 660 tht we none of the history on other then it has an intake and exhaust and is a lot crazier than the one in this video. his wheelies first second and 3rd gear with just a crack of the throttle. thisone seems so tamed

[@barrybaker9173]

I bought an 04. I love these quads. I’ve been messing around with the sprockets times get some more speed. Right now I’m running 16/41. Had it up to 82 but can go a bit more. Not enough power to push it. I lost some when I swapped sprockets. Once I install my exhaust, new air box, and jet kit should do over 90. My only complaint with the quad is the power. Not enough in my opinion. But I’m fixing that.

[@phoenixarizona8441]

I can run 110 on my 2001 Yamaha Raptor 660R but mine ain't stock mine has a Yamaha 600 twin snowmobile engine my only complaint is there's usually not enough space to open it up all the way but when you do you better hang on

if it doesn’t make the noise at idle most likely it’s not internal

true

Not true rod knock could only happen with a load on it or beyond idle.. same with bad cam noise ... but it sounds like a metal bracket somewhere rattling or a brake lever or something.. its to inconsistant to be engine :)

It might be the heat shield for the exhaust

[@chrisholland2348]

Take the heat gun and where you have the white stress marks on the plastic put some heat on the backside of them and it will make them not look as bad, just make sure you don't put the heat gun too close or hold it too long so the plastic won't melt, also your vibration might be your headder pipe heat shield is loose

[@kdcustoms1272]

Yup true.. Works good.

[@kdcustoms1272]

I'll tell you what raptor fenders can take a beating. I always see 660s with mad stress marks but never broke. I rolled mine 5 times before destroying the frame and just about everything else. But the fenders still look pretty good even after 20 years.

[@chrisholland2348]

@@kdcustoms1272 yeah they can, thats why atv fenders are plastic, I used to race flat track on mine when I bought it in 01 i hit a wall going about 50 and broke my femur, did about 150,000 in hospital bills to me and only arond 6 or 700 of damage to the atv, it tore the atv up but was just simple things like a arms on one side and radiator things like headlights etc, the plastic was creased and had to race cut but i could still use it, ended up buying new plastic from yamaha down the road

Yeah its not normal I have had a 660 for 10 years and never heard that. Hopefully its just loose mount, exhaust, skid plate etc.

[@davidjurkowski5588]

That vibrating noise sounds like the skid plate, I had that happen to my raptor I took it off and the noise went away. I would take it off to see it's easy enough. It might also be the one way bearing for the starter.

Make sure the skid plates are lose and making the rattling sound. It happened to mine.

check the plastics at the foot pegs. and the plastics at the front tighten all of them with bolt and nuts and your rattling sound will go away. other than that you can change the exhaust also usually makes that noise from factory

[@franchesscolin-_-1141]

To remove the stress marks on the plastics go over it with the heat gun it will help bring back the blue and top it off with some SC1 Will look good as new

[@nenad7653]

People, hear me out, especially if you are a rookie with quads/bikes and you are looking to buy one of these! I wanted a quad for a Long time and once I got some spare money I wanted o buy a quad, some Chinese model with 200kw or so, just to drive around and get used to it. Then a friend of mine who knows about bikes told me "Maaaan if you are buying a quad you need to buy THE REAL DEAL and that is Yamaha Raptor" So I checked it out, saw all the videos about it and was like Yeeeeeah I'm gonna ride it so bad like these guys I see on videos. I had it for 15 days and I had like 4-5 rides before I fell into a BIG HOLE like 4 meters deep. I was speeding like a moron because this machine ASKS FOR MORE THROTLE, it is amazing really, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT. While I was flying towards the ground aside my quad (And that was like 1 second, or maybe 2), the only thing that was going thru my mind was "This is it, I'm dead, this is how I die" Luckily I just had a totally destroyed knee and I am still recovering, it was 2.5 years ago. It will never recover to how it used to be, but I am really grateful to God that it was just a knee, I'm happy to be alive :) You need to hear this also, just to think thru if you still want to buy a monster like Raptor and don't have much experience. After the first operation, witch took place 10 days after fall I spent 3 months in bed, laying on my back because I couldn't move to side, not to mention stomach. First month I had to take a pee in bed, in medical bottle because I couldn't go to bathroom!!! You think that this corona lockdown was bad, just imagine spending all of that time in bed, unable to do anything on your own, you would literally die if you don't have someone to look after you :D Months and months of therapy and walking with help of those hand sticks and to cut the already long story short, I got to just one conclusion - IT WAS TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT. :D :D And thank you God for helping me in that situation

Anytime your changing the brand of oil .. ALWAYS change the filter because different oils have different cleaning adititives in them so your new oil can knock all the crud build up loose and then your screwed because the old filter was already full of crap..

Maybe the needle position is too high so the fuel is taking too long to get in there . Probably needs a jet kit too. The pro circuit pipes sound amazing . The slip on . If you can find a used one . If you really want a fast quad you have to get the yfz450 fuel injected or the 700 raptor fuel injected . Or a 2006-2014 TRX450R . But the suspension is gonna be stiffer than a dog .
