I found your channel as i was in search of buying my first bike and i have learned many things from your videos, They're very informative and you're super clear with explanations so thanks for the knowledge vintage, to much more to learn!

[@Phantomm1]

You should recheck the compression now that you've adjusted the valves.. a slightly open valve (tight) can cause loss of compression

[@2vintage]

Yeah I was going to but forgot haha. I will check compression again. I'm pretty sure it's just the decompression messing with the compression though.

[@enginesandoutdoors3238]

I think I might know a trick for that compression release. On some of the old tractors I work on there is a compression release on the camshaft. To get an accurate reading I would roll the engine over backwards and that usually works. Maybe it would work on your 660.

[@Rebel-Neck]

Not certain but i dont think 660s have a compression release. My 02 doesn't anyways. Now my ktm 525exc did and it was a twat

[@jeffmiller7665]

Anything I can help you with or I notice similar to mine, I'll try and help you out. Not a mechanic but I've been working on it and been on every raptor forum. It's a great machine, wait until you get use to it. I did 88 miles in one afternoon in upstate NY near Adirondacks this summer, literally one of the best days of my life. I just love the machine, very happy for you.

Try snatching second in the middle of your wheelies. Or pop it up in second at a roll. Wheelies will be more controllable. 👍

[@JB-hu3rd]

Amazon has a stainless reverse knob bracket for $10 not sure if that's your issue but it worked for my 660

[@2vintage]

Thank you, I will check it out!

[@Boogerboys1990]

Those intake valves being tight will def affect the pressure. I think ur fine on compression myself. Noise is def skid plate. Good stuff man.

Check the clutch throw arm rod maybe twisted out of alignment. Is the muffler bolts loose around the crush sleeve.& on the engine itself. Those will make that rattling noise to.

You need to put rubber in between the frame and skid plate

[@coreysworld433]

You can buy skid plate foam. From motorsport or Dennis Kirk or something. Sold in sheets made for vibration I believe

[@therealestoutdoors]

It is the skid plate I had mine tightened all the way and had to add little slivers of rubber to get it to stop from rattling

No he blamed the battery for the low reading he said the valves r fine it was just the battery giving it a low reading haha I've heard it all now

[@everythingloud4068]

Hey is there a swing arm skid plate on that quad Maybe thats rattling? And check the heat shield and all the exhaust bolts

[@HG_-eh8wp]

You should get it some spacers at least for the front wheels. It’ll help a lot with stability

[@therealestoutdoors]

Should’ve put a new rotor on that ones heat warped I bet from that pad that was only metal and it’s gonna chew those new pads apart

I got raptor 700 and for some reason it is really easy for me to plow trough the brake pads so I would recommend keeping some extras.

[@Rebel-Neck]

Check pipes are all tight. It sounds worse under high rev may also be loose cam chain. It doesn't sound like its skipped a tooth but it does kinda sound like the chain slapping the side of case inside.

[@nitrorory]

Enjoyed this video, could see better what you were working on. Don’t know if it’s because the light in the garage was better for it maybe. Whatever is rattling is thin light metal, a heat shield , baffles in exhaust, some cover ?

[@jbj198840]

And for the rattle check the exhaust heat shields or could possibly be something broke loose inside the muffler with a slight rattle to it

The rattle could be broken exhaust baffles in muffler or no copper washers between the head pipe and cylinder

[@jamiebouchard9862]

Good catch on the bolt. Is it coming from in the silencer? Exhaust heat shield? Maybe u could put thick o rings on between the frame and the skid plate. Put an oring on each bolt, maybe 2. Did that on my 250r.

[@bearkreekboys]

leakdown test is the true way to check for any internal engine problems. compression test is not very accurate with compression releases and it doesnt tell you what is causing the low compression like the leakdown will

Ltz’s have a lot of problems with the cams. Your can’t adjust the valves with out shims and the cam gear are just pressed onto the camshaft. So the gear spins on the shaft. Messing up the timing.

I expcted you to repeat the compression test after the valve clearances were fixed. Hard to achieve valid compression if valves kept open... I thought the noise was loose silencer baffles maybe.
