Arrow 660 raptor parts/ xtz660
ok, so my poor old xtz660 is still not up an running after it was taken out by a truck in the streets of sydney( 8 months ago )... i rode this bike rtw in 04 so found it hard to let the old girl go....
my question is,
can i use the raptor 660 head with titanium valves ect to replace the original in my xtz660, rumor has it this is possible as they are virtually the same motor.
any info on this would be great....phil.

Exclamation It fits
Hi,

as far as I know is the top end simular to the Raptor. I even have a Raptor conrod in my XTZ engine. The gearbox is of course different because your XTZ has no reverse gear. I guess the raptor has maybe a higer compression piston in. The carbs are also different.

regards

Thomas

raptor carb
Couldn't say about the head but I have a raptor carb on my xt 600 and all I can say is it runs better and stronger than when it was new. One of the best mods I've ever done.

Is the raptor carb an easy fit? Is it a single carb or Tekei twin? What manifold?
Thanks Neil

raptor carb
raptor carb is not really a direct bolt on, but it doesn't really take to much. They are a dual progressive carb set up. I tried to decribe the prosess on another thred near this one.
