Yamaha 2013 Raptor 700R & 700R SE Service & Owner’s Manual Set (P/N LIT-11616-26-02)

The owner’s manual explains how to operate the Raptor 700R and 700R SE and which maintenance checks are due. The service manual provides the workshop procedures and specifications for diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs.

The nitrogen-charged SE front shocks and the rear shock are covered at the assembly level. The service procedures address safe handling, inspection, removal, and replacement.

Search, Bookmarks, and Wiring Detail

Finding text and diagrams: Both PDFs have searchable body text and embedded bookmarks. The service manual’s top-level contents bookmark groups the chapter links. Small connector labels and wire codes in its schematics are readable when zoomed in.

The ZIP contains two printable PDFs with 538 pages total. That count includes four cover pages, seven blank or divider pages, the one-page EC Declaration of Conformity in the owner’s manual, and both versions of the wiring diagram in the service manual.

Engine, Chassis, and Electrical Service

These selected topics cover workshop procedures and routine care. Other jobs in the set include spark arrester cleaning and headlight bulb replacement.

• Engine and drivetrain: Engine removal and installation, top-end inspection, starter clutch and electric starter service, clutch and oil pump repair, crankcase separation, and transmission and reverse gear work.

• Brakes and chassis: Front and rear caliper and master cylinder service, hydraulic bleeding, wheel and hub inspection, rear axle removal and installation, steering work, and drive chain inspection.

• Fuel and cooling: Fuel pump and injector checks, pressure regulator testing, throttle body inspection, throttle position sensor adjustment, and radiator, thermostat, and water pump service.

• Electrical diagnosis: Fuel injection diagnostic mode, ECU fault-code tables, and circuit-based troubleshooting for ignition, starting, charging, lighting, signaling, the cooling fan, and the fuel pump.

• Workshop references: Exploded job charts, torque tables, fluid capacities, wear limits, electrical test data, and Yamaha special-tool numbers for U.S./Canadian and other markets.

• Operation and maintenance: Controls and warning lights, pre-ride checks, engine break-in, shifting and reverse, parking, loading limits, and periodic maintenance and lubrication charts.

Yamaha wrote the service manual primarily for its dealers and qualified mechanics. The owner’s manual gives riders basic operating, maintenance, and inspection guidance.

Engine Teardown and Reassembly

Step-by-step procedures cover the cylinder head, camshaft, rocker arms, decompression mechanism, and timing chain and tensioner. The inspection sections give wear limits for valves, guides, seats, and springs, along with checks for the piston, rings, and cylinder.

The bottom-end procedures cover the AC magneto, balancer gears, crankshaft, transmission shafts, shift drum, and shift forks. The crankcase section warns that hammer blows can damage the mating surfaces and calls for a transmission function check before the case bolts are tightened.

Brake and Suspension Differences

The front brake sections distinguish the standard and SE setups, and the brake procedures cover disc inspection, component reassembly, and hydraulic bleeding. The suspension sections distinguish the front shock adjustments and cover A-arms, ball joints, rear linkage, and swingarm service. Steering work includes the steering stem, pitman arm, tie rods, and knuckles.

Brake hydraulic work, fuel pressure testing, and internal engine repair call for the tools and safety procedures specified by Yamaha.

Fault Tracing, Diagrams, and Tools

The fuel injection fault tables connect ECU codes to specific checks. For a throttle position sensor circuit fault, the table identifies connector pins and harness continuity as checks alongside the sensor itself. The electrical component section also gives individual tests for switches, relays, diodes, sensors, the stator, the rectifier/regulator, the ignition coil, and the radiator fan.

The 2013 wiring diagram comes in black-and-white and color versions. The fuel injection circuit diagram, engine oil lubrication charts, cooling system diagrams, and cable routing views provide separate references for tracing circuits, oil flow, coolant routing, and harness placement.

The special-tool index lists the crankcase separator (90890-01135 / YU-01135-B), FI diagnostic tool (90890-03182 / YU-03182), and fuel pressure adapter (90890-03176 / YM-03176). It also identifies tools for valve service, crankshaft installation, cooling system pressure testing, wheel and steering work, and water pump repair.

Riding and Routine Care

The owner’s manual covers turns, hills, side slopes, shallow water, rough terrain, and skids. Its maintenance charts include emission-control service, and its routine care sections cover engine oil and filter changes, coolant and air filter care, chain and brake adjustments, wheel removal, cleaning, and storage. Basic troubleshooting charts cover starting and overheating.

Sample Valve and Thermostat Checks

On a cold engine at room temperature, the service manual specifies intake valve clearance of 0.09–0.13 mm and exhaust valve clearance of 0.16–0.20 mm. In the heated-water test, the thermostat begins to open at 69–73 °C (156.2–163.4 °F) and is fully open at 85 °C (185 °F).
