Hey, does anyone know what the stock horsepower of the warrior is? Also, if you know any of the others I have left blank, or if you feel I am wrong and In need of correcting let me know. I am just going off of what I have read on the internet and in mags.

Raptor: 35.6
Banshee:??
Yfz 450: 37.0-38.0
Warrior:??
400ex: 26.9
kfx/z450: 32.0
KFX700:??
predator:??
DS650:??

Also, what are some of the weight of these bad boys? DRY

Raptor=398
YFZ=350
Warrior=397
banshee 87-90 =??
banshee91-03=386
predator=415 (dirt wheels said 500, but I am thinking thats wet weight) Has to be!
400ex=375
ds650=??
kfx700=516 (yikes)

Just kind a curius why people knock on the raptor for being "big" and "heavy" . Seems to me it is lighter then all the other big cc bikes out there. It always seems like its the predator people that say that. Where are ya comin from there guys? 17 more pounds!!
There better not be any kfx700 owner out there that knocks the raptor. Give me a break!! 516 fricken pounds!! talk about "big" and "heavy"
Then you go tthe ds650, well geez, you mine as well just by a fricken sand rail. The thing is as big as one. Have to admit though, it is pretty neat in the dunes, but forget about it any where else.
Thanks for any #'s that you guys may have to add, or that are different from the ones I already have. Just trying to get an idea of all the machines out there, so when people try to say that my raptor or yfz are whatever (heavy, big, gutless), I know where they are coming from. (sorry if I forgot a few, I know I dont have dales listed and gas gas, just wanted to stick with the big makers for the most part)

 

I had always heard that the Raptor has around the 32-34 hp area and that the z400 is in the 28-29 hp, but this would still be about the range of difference going by either #s.....its basically about 4-5hp difference between those 2 machines. Also, I think you meant to put up kfx/z 400 and not 450, you must have YFZ stuck on the brain......I see that you have one in your sig. The stock hp# for the warrior is in the 17-19 range I believe, seems like I had heard that somewhere.

 

Hey, thanks DIRTHEAD for the input. Yeah, my bad, I did mean to put kfx/z400. Yes, your absolutely right, I do have yfz450 on the brain. I have never been this excited about a quad. I think It will be something else. For some odd reason mine has not come in. I live in spokane washington, and yet every state around me has the things! even Alaska!! I am out here in Illinois right now, tdy to Scott AFB, and was up at my cousins in Waukegan Wisconsin and they even have one!! Don't know whats up with washington, starting to **** me off though, I want my machine!!

 

The shop manual for the KFX700 says peak HP is 49.1 @6500 at the crank. Considering my good fortune drag racing piped raptors and the extra weight that might be pretty close.

 

HP at the crank does not matter in any way.

It's how it gets to the ground.

The first gen DS650s weigh 460lbs. dry, and the 2004s are supposed to be at 430 or so, i think.

 

Preddy puts out 41.3hp and 30.1 ft/lb. Dry weight of 415lbs. You can see DYNO RESULTS. Click on the MY PREDATOR link and then click on DYNO RESULTS under Performance

 

After seeing a few dyno runs on the ds. Its safe to assume the ds puts out around 36-37 rear wheel horspower. I'm not sure on the weight of it.

Raptor should be putting 35-36rear wheel horsepower weighing 50lbs less.

 

Well considering I outran the piped raptor in my sig 3 for 3 times in a drag race, I'd say a good portion of that hp is getting to the ground. Maybe we should try a tug of war too lol !

 

A tug of war would always be cool[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I wonder which would win

 

go to the sport quad board someone already did that.. power to weight ratio!
