I saw you got a three wheeler I think nice keep up the good work I'll keep giving you support.

Remove the skid plate Completly

Exhaust heat shield

[@darrellroeters4951]

Sounds too high a pitch for inside motor.

[@xii-vi-mmviyt6506]

I could use one of the rear break packs

Oh lord can someone please bless this man with a pipe😂😂

[@2vintage]

hahah

[@rfs531]

I’ll take the stock one

[@Chuckseese]

Looks like he has money 😂

[@BlockchainToTheFace]

Wow, unbelievable at all the people that think a pipe is going to save the day.

[@xGrAnTuRiSmOx1]

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!

[@jaydagod8828]

I would have took the whole skid plate off to see if it was the problem

[@artisticbeats1016]

yep this guy is a bozo the “extra brake pads” are for the front lol

[@bikelikel402]

U get 3 in a pack 2 for the front 1 for the back brakes

[@snapfish89]

Also, pretty sure they will fit honda as well.

[@jasonkoz8985]

Some people can't think that hard

[@ZachB54]

And you will need all the extras lol 660’s eat pads

[@kevinhumphrey932]

Trash the front brake calipers and convert them to the yfz450 calipers

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@motomatt6099]

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

[@p.h2485]

Take the skid plate off and still see if it rattles 👍🏻good vid

Got a question I have a 1996 rm 250 2 stroke runs cherry but won't stay on when idle in gear only stays on in nuteral what can be the promblem?

[@josephcamacho8940]

Hey Joe I'm not mistaking that sounds like an exhaust clamp that is loose or something with the exhaust keep up with the good videos and don't pay no mind to the haters

[@xwhels]

Aint no one hating

[@bearkreekboys]

great job as always! enjoying how you are making videos now! keep it up and still wannna collab!!

[@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.

[@peterstacey3720]

Was that crazy buzzing or rattle the front brake lever vibrating i watched your riding it and when you rev up the lever vibrates ????.

[@royalracingtechroyalracing6128]

Love the content brother, I could use the pads definitely

[@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.

[@seb2367]

2vintage , if i use a 660 raptor every day will it come to me for maintenance? and what are the frequency of oil change, piston change ...

[@troyrosenbaugh9935]

Would use a pack of those pads. I have an 02 660r thats been built as a 686. Is the rattle your timing chain? Been there done that, bad tensioner.

[@liloutlaw19]

@2vintage I have a 2005 rmz 450 it runs strong as hell just dosn't wanna idle for more than about 5 seconds would that be valves or carb?

[@mikeblock1838]

I don't know what gear you got on that one but I've been liking the 15 in the front and the 42 in the back

[@christinacropsey1780]

I love your voids and I could use some new breaks. But I have a 2007 Honda 400ex so those pads won't work. Keep up the great work much love from Michigan.

[@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 ?

[@anthonyguerrera6572]

Joe , check the heat shield once again. I think that’s where the rattles coming from. Also they have you 3 pads for the front too.

[@michaelwilson466]

Front and rear brake pads are all the same, you received a complete set of pads for the quad. Also check your exhaust and make sure the rattle isn't coming from there.

[@meanbird9843]

The exhaust heat shield mabye rattling?

[@2vintage]

I checked...not it unfortunately

Take the whole skid plate off and see if it eliminates the noise

[@jamesunderwood6578]

I have a 07 Yamaha raptor 350 the rattle that you have sounds like coming from heat shield or muffler bracket

[@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

[@HG_-eh8wp]

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

[@stone_1388]

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.

[@brianurda4560]

Check your exhaust heat shields for that rattle I could use a set of them brake pads but great show thanks a lot

[@jackpelliccia6294]

Keep up the awesome content 👍👍

[@In2investing]

So did the compression change after valve adjustment?

[@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!

[@MackMan-qk8mc]

I'll take the rear brake pads? I have a 01 660 r... great job on the fix!!

[@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

[@Matt-kn3fd]

I've used a mechanics stethoscope for my car to find a whining noise. That would help you find it I believe. Keep up the good vids

[@BlockchainToTheFace]

A piece of heater hose works great or water hose

[@jakemir]

Did the compressor get better after adjusting the intake valves?

[@ghxvt4381]

I have a raptor 660 and I have a starting issue everytime I try and turn it on theres a clicking sound and I'm having trouble figuring out what the problem is

[@smknowledgeandresearch7799]

Hey My mechanic is having problems with starting my 04 Raptor 660r .😬 I have a new top end (factory) and a new Exhaust. We also replaced my valves but when try to start it the exhaust is sucking in air instead pushing air air out !! I really need some instructions/information to help him figure out the problem 😔

[@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

sick vid and my quads been needing brake XD but becuase youre vidz im getting a 660 most likeley lol take care thoo i watch you dauly when i can

[@kylemurray8840]

you should check the rear skid plat under the swing arm or the exhaust bolts

[@ecdc0432]

I’ve been waiting for this 😀🤪

[@gregdmohoski2184]

Hey you still got a set of those rear brakes left for the raptor? My name is Greg, I've got an 05 raptor 660r that also needs rear pads unless you already got rid of them.

[@loganreed3589]

Hey 2vintage, I commented on your last video and I don’t know if you seen it. But if you watch the front passenger side lower a arm you can watch something move only when you hear the rattle noise. Go to previous video and watch it were I put the time stamp. Hope it helps!

[@johnhicks9529]

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.

[@ryooperdude3144]

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

[@Cameron-mh7go]

The extra pads are probably for the front

[@money_s420]

do you know y my honda 300ex wont start up? i change the oil spark plug Carburetor and everything nd it still doesn't want too start up i was riding it and it just turn off on me?

[@2vintage]

are you getting spark?

[@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

[@m8fusion712]

Awesome video man

[@djplays4007]

Don’t know if you picked the two people yet, but I would love some brake pads. I don’t know if they would fit my quad. It’s a 2006 Yamaha 350 raptor. I’m assuming they use the same pads and rotors.

[@demonicperformance5813]

Those brake pads also fit on the Honda 400 and they use the same parking brake delete plate as well

[@gunnerhamilton8971]

I think its the starter clutch if it's been replaced and wasn't tightened to spec it will sound like that good at idle and open throttle but reving it will sound like that mine had the same problem when I replaced mine

[@kevinagnew8721]

Could the rattling be from the heat shield on the exhaust

[@pestka7151]

My guess as well. My Warrior did the same thing

[@coreysworld433]

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

[@darrellroeters4951]

Did you check compression after adjusting valve?

[@rach84able]

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

[@bobbyschram2206]

The Rattling noise could be the heat Shield on the exhaust

[@ZachB54]

Amazon sells Raptor bolt kit, awesome to have for the 660’s 🤙🏻

Raptor with big 3 will smoke a 400. Stock they are pretty close. Raptors airbox is very restrictive.

[@seth4567]

The 660r is gonna smoke it. Me and my homie raced them. Both had exhaust and intake

[@jesusgarcia-zb4co]

I can’t find any skid plates for my 04 Yamaha raptor 660 on amazon

[@treasurelies8300]

Check the Black things where you put your feet cause mine rattles cause of loose screws on the feet rest.

[@zachthericer3379]

It's the baffle or spark arrestor my buddy's trx 250x makes the same noise from that area

[@brodyooo6890]

When you wheelie try a gear higher go all the way back and learn to use the back break also try switching thew the gears in a wheelie it will help a lot I use to chase it before I learned the back break

[@waynec5035]

Hey what's up buddy if u still a set of those rear brakes for the raptor 660r ill take a set

[@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.

[@danburch9989]

That noise sounded like sheet metal vibrating. Maybe a heat shield loose? I've heard similar noises on loose internal muffler baffles - rare but it happens.

[@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

[@bradyquenneville8386]

I love your vids man I’m picking up a blaster on Friday I’m 13 and exited

Awesome! Good luck with it! They are fun!

[@jacob.44t95]

Man I’m 12 and I got a blaster about 1 year ago running great. Every time we took it on a big ride it would blow up. Then we figured out a bunch of the seals inside the cases were cracked and the case had gasket maker on it sucking in air. Good luck

[@xfiringsquadx]

Blasters are fun. Great for your age. They have a pretty smooth power delivery for a two stroke. They are powerful enough to have plenty of fun but are still safe if you know what you are doing.

I’m not the greatest at wheelies but one thing I did learn which helped a lot is that when you get it up try not to be choppy with the throttle try to keep it smooth it helped me maybe it will help you
