Cool New - from New Zealand

Hi all, I'm Jade from NZ I just wanted to pop on here and make my arrival known
Also I was going to add a pic of my XT but the insert image icon seems to want a web addy? is there no way to just add a pic from my pc?
Also I have a stage 2 hot cam on the way does anyone know of a raptor cam for sale that I can rob the decomp bits out of?
And finally has anyone tried to run the XT without the decomp will the starter struggle to turn the motor over?
Cheers,
Jade

The Raptor motor has a completely different decompression mechanism to that on the XTs so the parts aren't interchangeable. You have to run one or the other.

Yes I am aware of that thank you. Hot cams only make a cam for the raptor motor so I need the decomp bits from a stock raptor cam to fit to my hot cam. Also I have discovered that the YFM700 grizzly farm quad also runs the same decomp assembly as the raptor.

Welcome

Hi Jade,

Welcome to the forum.
There is specialist tech assistance inside the supporters area if you would like the extra level of involvement on the forum. I used it when I was setting up my '05 X. Well worth it.

Would you post a thread showing us your cam mod progress? Be good to see it evolve.

I live on Aucklands North Shore, Beach Haven. There are few 660s around. Mostly commuters but a few get used in anger.

I have twin two brothers on mine, DNA 1&2, fuel mod, AIS and airbox mods. Makes a good difference over stock, keep us in the loop.

Marcus

I have taken your advice and become a paying member and stated a stage 2 hotcam thread in the general section
