So after much searching in town, I finally found some washers at Radioshack. They had an assorted package. Getting tank off was kinda tricky but doable. Yes, the screws on top of the carb were hard but as long as youre careful no stripping. I went with 3 washers. When held next to stock spacer, 3 was half the thickness. Went on a little test ride (to make sure I had everything hooked back up mainly). Seemed a little more responsive after take off. I will ride a little longer tomorrow(if no rain) and play with it some more.

As for the afterfire, so far its gone. First time I shut it off after mod, I had let it idle for a while before killing it. When I returned home just a few seconds and turned off, nothing. So that is definitely nice. Still pops on decel if throttle is cut off

sure thing! Grin

Went on a 100 mile ride today and bike did good, not great, but definitely better in the midrange. Still lacking so will probably take at least another washer, if not two, off tomorrow and see how that works.

And heres a couple a pics:

I just bought mine on Amazon today. Only $16. It was $30+ and then changed overnight to $16. Had to jump on it. Not having problems with stock petcock yet, but don't want to let it get to that. Also want to make life easier when I take off gas tank.

Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-Raptor-YFM660RT-Petcock-Switch/dp/B00B3SKAJY

I hope that's the right one.

I am not sure.......the correct Yamaha part number is: 5LP-24500-01-00

This is in the eBay listing you linked:

Manufacturer Part Number OCB082-52
OEM Part Number 5LP-24500-00-00

The pictures show the outlet is the machined brass part....and not the expanded tubing that the Yamaha part has. If you don't see a factory Yamaha Box.....chances are it did not come from Yamaha and is not OEM.

I was gonna buy from boats.net but wanted to get the free shipping on amazon since I was also buying headlight bulb, redline additive and a K&N oil filter. I noticed the OEM number had 00 instead of the 01, but was hoping that was just a glitch. I will find out in a week or so Undecided

I want to ask but I don't want to sound stupid, but what does the expanded tubing look like in comparison to the machined brass part? I will look around to see if I can find an example, too.

It's a pic in this same thread...

Nick, what part of Arkansas? The "Going to See WD" thread in this section of the forum is only about 45 minutes from downtown Memphis. Bring your bike... we'll teach you how to wheelie it... Did it to mine the day I bought it (unintentionally)... Grin

Seriously, bring it over, Sept 14-21, you'll have some of the more modified engines on the board here, and the guys that built them. A solid week of riding, wrenching, shooting and goofing off...

Oh, you asked about a taller sissy bar... taller on the stock base (I have a full blacksmith shop and literally tons of steel/iron)... or do you prefer an older style chick stick... like my bike rocks...

You want odd Savage mods, I'm the guy to bring your scoot to...

Here is a listing for a factory OEM petcock that shows a good photo and even an interactive view of the expanded tube.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-YFM660R-Raptor-660-2001-2005-FUEL-PETCOCK-GAS-...

Here is a listing that has good photos of a "copy" petcock that has the machined brass tube.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Raptor-660-Fuel-Gas-Petcock-Valve-Switch-Pump-...

The issue most times is that the replacement petcock with the machined outlet is smaller - and the rubber fuel line is too big for the copy petcock. You then either have to use a screw type clamp to force the fuel line to work - or you have to use a smaller fuel line and force it onto the larger carb nipple.

Thanks Dave for the links and the helpful info! Those photos make it clear which is the right choice; and I chose poorly.

Here is a link to a real nice 360 degree example of the right petcock.

http://arqspin.com/s/3ryiz1s9yglf2

I cancelled the order as soon as I could last night and I hope it works. Then I will order the right one. If the wrong one comes, I will try what you suggested to make it work. I was so sure of myself that I wouldn't be another victim of the "wrong petcock" issue. So cocky-ness and pride aren't all they're cracked up to be.
