I have a 2006 Yamaha Raptor 350. This weekend I was riding and one of my buddies drove down into some water and after we got it out I rode for about another 20 min or so and the motor started to rattle. It sounds like valve noise. I brought it back to my shop changed the oil and checked the valve clearance and it appears to be within specs but we still have the noise. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem before and what the fix was. The only I can't figure out is that as soon as you take if off of top dead center a little bit then the valves loosen up alot. If someone could offer any help I would appreciate it. Thanks
Also if anyone has the valve adjustment specs for 2006 models could you post it. Thanks
 
i have a 2004 Warrior and it has the same thing, sent it into the shop, they said everything was fine. I ran some higher octane gas in it and it seems to quiet it down......but it still makes a little rattle. But apparently thats normal with Yamaha's
