I sometimes take off on my yamaha raptor 660r with the fuel tap off. Once my raptor dies and comes to a stop I turn the fuel tap on and get on my way. Can this little mistake do any damage to the atv?

Other than when trying to beat a freight train across the tracks,,
No not really.

Yeah but it's more along the lines of pricey annoyances rather than expensive permanent damage. As a rule, doing things such as running an engine out of gas tend to create heavier than usual carbon deposits, requiring perhaps more frequent spark plug changes and in some cases a removal and possible replacement of the exhaust along with having to scrape the port(s) clean... I suppose other things such as having to spray some carb cleaner around the intake are possible as well, like I said, annoying and it can run as high as 50 - 200 or thereabouts in a bad case, but nothing real serious and it only happens sometimes.

This will not hurt your ATV, all your doing is running the fuel out of the line from the last time you were riding,

No way. Yamis are bad. If they can handle water and doubles it'll be fine.
