Nice man; I like that you included the pages from the service manual. I will be doing this to mine soon. BTW, I dig the second to last song; reminded me of ATV off road fury.
it was a lot easier than I expected. most of the ones I have seen have those little shims you insert in the buckets to raise or lower the valves. I found the adjustment screws a lot easier to deal with.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say your issue is probably electrical related vs valves. valve check is never a bad idea on these four strokes though of course...
@trailblogger hey man. thanks for the video you just opened my mind up to things i never knew before.. However the issue with my 2016 raptor that it cuts out on high RPM's. it idles fine. it drives fine. The moment i rev it up its like it runs out of gas for a second or two then speeds up again. Could it be valves issue?
Check your carborater, it could be something with that, but it is possible it's a valve issue I would take it in to get maintenance and get it checked out
I don't have a fuel pressure gauge but good suggestion. I can hear the pump priming, sounds pretty healthy, if I disconnect the line after it is primed fuel shoots out all over the place lol
TrailBlogger I picked up a fuel pressure test kit from Harbor Freight. And some extra fuel line was able to use a t fitting to check fuel pressure. Also may want to make sure your throttle body and injector is actually clean and spraying.
well I know where I am going when I Get off work lol harbor freight it is. i have another idea, posting a video about that one later tonight hopefully.
Hey trailblogger I saw a video on Hill climb ohio channel of his tires "bolted" I've been wanting to do a set of my tires but was wondering if I would need to run a tube and how to go about the whole thing and if I could road ride with the bolts
LittleMoreLow 400ex no I don't think he does. I asked same question. His channel is hill climb Ohio Jeremiah brogan you should leave him a comment and ask. Pretty sure he said no to both tube and silicone
How often is it recommended that you check the valves on the Raptor 700? & watched the whole thing. Should help out anyone who needs to adjust valves a lot!
TrailBlogger thanks much. The one I just got has 81 hours but idk if it's ever been done so I'll probably do it to be safe. Do you actually need a torque wrench or just snug everything? Also, what oil do you run and how frequently do you change it? Sorry for all the questions haha. Wanna make sure I treat my raptor right.
torque wrench is a good idea, I didn't use one but I would recommend it if you don't work on engines a lot so you don't accidentally overtighten or undertighten anything,.
TrailBlogger Well on the bright side, at least the lash maintenance is done. You thinking ignition problems? I saw your vid on the compression test so it's not a bent valve. Maybe something with the timing? So many possibilities with these newer fuel injected engines. Stuck open injectors could also cause these symptoms. What are you thoughts?
Banshee Fever 750cc I'm going to start electrical stuff now that the mechanical portion is tested ( compression and spark seem ok ) throttle sensor, ecu or the wiring harness are suspect. Coil seems ok as its getting a healthy spark.
A+ video, camera work, and inserts.
The best ATV repair video I've ever seen.

TrailBlogger i think you're right but I will still check. So happy these raptors don't use shims 😅
speaking of shims... wait till you see the latest project I just picked up LOL
What a life saver. Never done a valve job before but after watching this very detailed video it was to easy. Thanks for the help brotha.
Glad I could help!
TrailBlogger May I ask, where is it that you do all your riding. Your videos are amazing, some beautiful scenery for sure..
Looking awesome, as always. Keep it up!!
Outstanding video 👍🏻
Thank you! Well explained 🙌
Awesome Vid man.
Nice video :)
Valve clearance should be for exhaust value- .18mm (.17mm -19mm) I go in between. Intake value- .10mm (.08 - .11mm)
on an 08 raptor? you are saying I set them wrong?
TrailBlogger what did you set yours too?
My 03 yahmaha warrior 350 makes a ticking noise while running, could adjusting the valves fix it?
Hi bro. I have raptor 700 2009. From the Exhaust fumes come out can you help me fix it please
usually means too much fuel or not enough fuel! did you test TPS voltage?
@trailblogger hey man. thanks for the video you just opened my mind up to things i never knew before..

Dealer wants $800 to do a 20hr service on a Raptor which includes valve adjustment. Crazy...
wow! that is nuts but i bet 90% of people pay for it anyhow
Not me. Especially after watching this video! Thanks.
Thanks
You're welcome!
Thank you
Luděk Skalický you're welcome :-)
By doing this process did u gain any performance with ur raptor 700?
It was more general maintenance and to rule it out as the cause of not running correctly
Oh I see yes I’ll do it for mine too thanks for the video bro and also I did hear u comment after so many hrs to check them for maintenance
Have you checked your fuel pump and fuel pressure?
I don't have a fuel pressure gauge but good suggestion. I can hear the pump priming, sounds pretty healthy, if I disconnect the line after it is primed fuel shoots out all over the place lol

LittleMoreLow 400ex never ran bolts myself but I asked same question to mr brogan and he said he does not run a tube
TrailBlogger thank you are you aware if he uses like some kind of silicone alround the bolts ?
LittleMoreLow 400ex no I don't think he does. I asked same question. His channel is hill climb Ohio Jeremiah brogan you should leave him a comment and ask. Pretty sure he said no to both tube and silicone
TrailBlogger ok thanks
How often is it recommended that you check the valves on the Raptor 700?
& watched the whole thing. Should help out anyone who needs to adjust valves a lot!
the manual says to the valve check on it every 160 hours. if you are breaking it in brand new, do after first 20 and then 80 hours
TrailBlogger thanks much. The one I just got has 81 hours but idk if it's ever been done so I'll probably do it to be safe.

So were the valves Being out of spec, Remedy the no start, Back firing issues?
negative. issue is still present :-/

Damn. Good luck figuring it out. Haven't finished video yet, but I was planning to check the valves soon on my raptor anyways so this should help.
Maybe its the sensor behind gearshift
