There has been no mods to my pedator yet it is fully stock but when i first got it was full of speed everytime i shifted up but now when i go out it seems like everytime i shift up i dont fill the pull or the speed that it had is it because it was just getting broken in or something ?

 

[vortec57]

had the same feeling with mine, cleaned ut up serviced it and that helped a lot, maybe were getting used to it ripping our asses finally

 

[warning]

ya my friend been telling me to get it serviced but i havent had the time lately with everything going on i think im gunna get it done soon because my friends want to race me because they never raced a predator and im not racing till i fill its 100%.

 

[warning]

vortec how long did it take when yo got the service, like 2 weeks or so

 

[warning]

ok i change the oil add the new oil filter ..... um im gunna greese the joints also im going to clean the air box out to. but i also been hearing a clacking sound in the engine when its idle in nuetral and reason why i hear that ?

 

[vortec57]

i serviced mine the first time after about a week, i rode a lot then and wanted to do it soon, but i secrewed up and didnt drain all the oil from mine, so i serviced it again a few days ago. since then i service it at least every time i run out a tank of gas.

 

[warning]

I haven't heard of having a valve adjustment but I think it is a good idea to look into.

put it away for the winter and in the spring it will feel like a rocket! the more you ride them, the slower they feel.

if its getting cooler you guys might want to check your jetting. In the manual it syas to go up to a 155 main, in my area im below 3000 feet.

I would suggest to start with cleaning the air filter (replace if stock). If K&N is used and u clean regularly you may be adding too much oil to the filter. with the temp. change it might be time for some rejetting. also consider you may have just gotten use the your predator. Try changing the plug, if rich you may have carbon build up or if lean you may have burned up the electrode.

Hey fellas,
As you bike brakes in you need to jet up things get loose and start to take more fuel.
Jet up adjust your valves you get it back with more ass.

 

[quadjunkies]

Ditto on the jetting up and Valves adj........

 

[vortec57]

whats it take to adj the valves on these babies? mined doing ok now, but i figure im not going to be doing much riding over the winter so i have plenty of time for tear down and adjustment.

I have the factory service manual and it looks like a major pain to do a valve job. Be sure to check the clearances on the valves, you might not need to adjust. But I agree, if they are out doing them will make a big diff.

I would suspect the air cleaner unless you have MANY hours. Also check throttle cable adjustment. The winter jets comment is a good point too.
