If you could buy either a full Yoshi setup or low-end front Elkas, What would you do? Both will happen eventually, but which one first?

 

for a raptor i would say 100% elkas first. itll really help the geomety on that thing.

 

I would go elkas then sparks pipe. Go ahead and get a pipe you always be happy with and get the sparks. I had the yoshii full comp and i like the sparks way better.

 

KYraptor what do you like about the sparks then the yosh... I may want to change..

 

More than anything the sound, this thing thumps like crazy (just love it).. Ive had so many complements on the pipe, no one ever said anything about the yoshi. The sparks isnt much on looks but the sound makes up for it. Others have said the sparks throws out more power,but i cant tell a big difference. Im planning on doing some modifications very soon so hopefully the sparks flows enough for the motor mods.

 

Elka would be my choice. Handling the power you already have will do more for you than having more power you can't handle.

 

What type of riding do you do? If your not a full out MX racer i'd say go for the pipe and, Jet kit. The stock suspension is ample for everything besides competion racing. More Power is always better in my opinion. The pipe (no mater which one) really wakes the stock bike up!

 

Riding type is aggressive trails, jumping 3-6 feet up, 10-20 out, and an occasional friendly drag race. I plan to do a few hare scrambles this summer. i already had a competition pipe (Pro Circuit) but it was too loud to use anywhere so I modified it to make it quieter. Much quieter now but lost a little top end pull (middle seems stronger). The Yoshi comes with quiet cores that dont sound stupid like Pro Circuits and I've heard they still make pretty good power. The Pro Circuit Quiet core made WAY less power than the stock muffler for me, but welding in HMF's core was lots better.

Some of the trails I ride have lots of whoops. These are 1-3 feet tall and 5-10 feet apart. I can hammer many of them with my rear end only, but since they are so inconsistent, I end up nosing into a few. I thought if I had good suspension in front I could take the front hits at higher speed without getting tossed over the bars. Right?
