Went on aliitle ride yesterday and the raptor took a lil spill. I got stuck on a hill so i jumped off and thought i stabilized my bike. While i was tellin my friends that there was ice in the spot i got stuck at my rappy started rollin down the hill. It made it all the way to the bottom and took a little roll upside down. Now when it runs it increases throttle on its own! If i put my bike in neutral and let it idle it will start revving up on its own. If im in first gear just drifting it even pulls a liitle bit like im slightly pushin the throttle. Has anyone heard of this if so please tell me whats wrong cause im really pissed off and i hope its not pricey to fix. My handle bars seem to be bent also. Can anyone give me a good test to see if i bent my steering stem. Also does new handle bars fix toe in? All of this happened from what i thought was little wreck :mad: :mad: :mad: :(

another view. that would probable explain the revving up for no reason

that would do it

hopefully the replacement parts aren't too much, might want to get new bars too

another throttle box can be found real cheap off ebay....YFZ throttle boxes work also but id reccomend a Honda Throttle, the difference in the lever angle will be so much easyer on your thumb than the stocker

that happened to me, the first day i had my bike, when i brought it home, i took it for a ride, and ended up rolling it..... I tried like JB welding it back together... nothing worked.... so i got on powerpartsplus.com and went to the raptor 700 schematics, and just order the piece from them.... think it was $70 or something like that...

What honda throttle assy will work on the Rappy? I replaces mine already but it's a poor set-up and way to exposed.
