I am going to buy a new 04 Predator or a Raptor in the spring and I just wanted to know what you guys have had that wears out on you Preds? Does anything wear out really fast? I've read about the brake lines already so that can be left out.

Thanks

 

I have an 03 .and the only thing I find wears quickly is the rear tires . I also ride on hard packed trails which will cause that . Other than that , I dont find anything else that wears quickly than any other quad .

 

All i can say is don't buy a Raptor.. I am not bias i own a Banshee, what i am getting at is yes they are fast but only in a straite line and they have their far share of problems... Just look in the yamaha forum its nothing but raptor problems and people selling them...

On the predator the front brake line where it mounts to the frame will brake off but i hear its a easy fix... The ball joint problems and the other problems have been fixed for 04, and if a new problem comes up Polaris will back their ATVs 100% not like the poor 01 yamaha owners that got left out in the rain..

I am buying a predator myself, I have been researching this machine for the last 3 months reading everything i can talking to anyone that owns one... From what i hear its a damn good quad....
