660 raptor issue

[BlasterKX]

ok a buddy of mine just baught it and within the first day it did this.

 

It ran fine for most of the day & then all of a sudden has an issue where the exhaust is just knocking & engine is not getting power. As I push the throttle will knock more & more & then die. This could be just as I'm in neutral or if I do put it into gear. It almost seems as if it is being choked but the choke is not on. Give me some ideas where to be looking?

 

 

 

 

any good ideas?

what mods/jetting? all of a sudden, or getting worse? have you done a plug read? could've skipped a chain tooth, plugged a jet lost a pin bearing, any number of things. does it pop out of the intake/exhaust

Forget a four stroke and get a real mans ride

i had a similar problem with my 660 it turned out to be the wire that ran to the reverse switch got cut but it was hit or miss if the wire made a connection it ran fine but if not it would fuck up but i eventually got it fixed sold it and never looked back i wanted a 4 stroke to see how they ride and see if i would like one but truthfully in my opinion they are too much trouble

Sory guys found out it was the parking brake switch. he looked up on the raptorforums and found it and tried it and thats what it was. thanks for the help. and as soon as i get mine back together we are going to go riding together and see how his 660 compares to a shee.
