Gearing 2001 Raptor 660
It seems the Raptor 660s are geared too high, so a popular mod was to go with a 12 tooth front sprocket. It will make a lot of difference, especially in tight trails where you have to ride the clutch now. It will take away from your top speed some, but it will help your acceleration and make it more fun to ride.

i dont mean to steal ur thread but how dangerus r the trannys on the 01 raptors do they always go out or was it just a handfull that broke because theres an 01 for a decent price for sale near me i was thinking about checking out</end quote></div>
Most 01 Raptor trannies failed because of the weak design. Personally, if I could not confirm that an 02 up updated gearset had been installed I would avoid the quad. A new gearset and labor could actually cost more than the quad is worth at this point.

how would i confirm this did yamaha recall it or something</end quote></div>
Yamaha did not do a recall.....01 Raptor owners had to bite the bullet at their expense. Remember that when you are looking to purchase a new Yamaha product.
Anyway, if you have never rode an 01 Raptor and can't tell the difference between the 01 and 02 ratios, and if someone cannot provide proof that the gear swap has occured, I would stay away from it.
