Hi Plado,

Welcome to the forum. We are beginning to have more and more V-raptor owners here. Mine is also yellow. so far I think four here in Europe. Oil the speedo cable or it won't last long. I found out the hard way. I had my swing arm out today and it had almost no grease in it. And check the screws regularly. Especially the ones holding the engine tend to get loose.
Here I posted some pictures of my LED rear light I installed.

What I do to start the engine when it's cold.
1. Put the choke in top position and start the engine with no throttle.
It usually starts on first or second time.
2. after about 10-20 seconds I put the choke in middle position.
3. Then very slowly I turn the throttle. Just a little and keep it there for about 10-30 seconds.
4. Then I let the throttle go for about 10-seconds.
5. Then Move choke to bottom position.

I have made no changes to engine, carburetor, air box or exaust.

I think whats best for your bike may vary, due to different settings on every bike. I'm sue you will find out after a while for your bike though.





Eric,
