it's a good ATV
The Yamaha Raptor 250 needs about 1.8 quarts of oil when you are completing an oil change. It is a good idea to have a funnel handy because it is difficult to get the oil into the fill area.
more for drag racing, not trail riding
it will go on a good day 38 i know someone that is a cop and he got me on radar
i believe it is around 350 pounds
optima red top very good battery for starting but pricey
I would say around 2000 bucks in an okay condition 2500 in a good condition
When it comes to a beginning style of ATV's Yamaha seem to be the best choice. The Yamaha Raptor 350 is a good starter ATV and they start at around $4,800 for the 2011 model.
Polaris Phoenix 200 automatic. Suzuki LT-z 250 semi-automatic. Yamaha Raptor 250 manual. Maybe
a great racing four wheeler is a Yamaha banshee or a Yamaha raptor.........but those are very small bikes and ment for going fast if you want one very fast and can go through tuff stuff get a can- am 800 renegade
Instead of going into the details, I will attach two links for answering how to adjust your Raptor valves. This first link is for a service manual in case you do not have one. http://www.scribd.com/doc/2601979/Raptor-660 This second link describes the tools needed and the process. It has a lot of pictures to make it much easier for a first timer. http://www.scribd.com/doc/16946690/Yamaha-Raptor-660-Valve-Adjustment Those should be all you need to get your valves adjusted. Look at the pictures ahead of time and clean the engine and surrounding area's prior to opening up any of your exposed area's. Good luck
Depends how big you are. Yamaha makes really good bikes. maybe like a ttr125 or ttr225 or yz85 or something.
