Change to the Raptor petcock... you will be a Happy Man.... Pam

It'll be at least as good as running on prime. Prime is intended to fill the carb when the bowl is dry for whatever reason. I am not sure if it flows as much fuel as the raptor will when it's in on or reserve position. Plus, you have the option on the petcock of turning off the fuel.

Low idle will also result in low oil flow to the head and hasten the wear on the cam and possibly the rockers. Idle should be at 1,000 to 1,100. 9 to 10 mph in first gear on flat land. The cam rides in align bored aluminum. No steel inserts. It needs plenty of lube.

Read the oil wars for the best recommended oils for this bike. This is old, outdated technology. Just because it says for motorcycles doesn't mean it's right for this bike.

Are you sure it's a genuine Yamaha one? At that price it sounds like a cheap knock-off. Those can cause more problems. Also, the specs on the cheap ones don't always match the genuine (different sized ports, and things like that).

Should be getting it Tuesday. On another note today noticed with my petcock on Prime that on decel with first or second gear that it Started sputtering a little and had some popping on upshifting from first to 2nd. Is this a sign a may need to go up a size on my pilot jet?
