MCGYVER Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I have an 02' Craptor... I mean Raptor, and for some reason over the past few months it has develpoed a harsh vibration in it that can be felt while holding the rpm up around 1800-2000 rpm. ??? Wondered if anyone out there in duneland has heard of anything before i dig into it ?? I understand raptors vibrate more than anything out there, but this one is like riding a jackhammer at 50 mph. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions other than a long ride off a short pier. :rainbow1: thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Check your motor mount bolts. They came loose on my Raptor once and also sanddunesaddict's as well. That did the trick. Hope it works for you too. :rainbow1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdave Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 could be your main bearings going out i doubt it. a rod bearing would go before a main. would be knocking. it would have had to run pretty low on oil for that to happen.

1BADYFZ Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 alot of things or it could just be your imagination... If it is stock.. could be the paddles are off swingarm bearing are shot motor mounts if you gone into the engine; could be the rod is not balanced valves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCGYVER Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 i doubt it. a rod bearing would go before a main. would be knocking. it would have had to run pretty low on oil for that to happen. Motor makes noise at all, oil has always been clean/and changed regularly. (this what i do for a living) so i harp on poeple constantly about vehicle maintanance. Raptors have a balance shaft inside them that is gear driven fromt the crankshaft, i thought maybe someone here had heard of a similar incident and had a little insight on a possible cause. All the motor mount blots are tight, frame is not bent and touching anywhere etc. Bike has never been crashed ( cause i ride so slow ) Thanks for the comments anyway, just thought i'd throw it out there.
