Ok, I'm looking into buying a raptor..and I know that they had a few probs with the transmission in 01,,,,did they fix that??? Is there any other negatives at all to the 04 Raptors??? And last question....my buddy has a v-force 700...how will these two machines line up stock to stock???

 

i dont know about the 04 raps but i think you should beat a V

 

from what ive heard i never thought much of vforces until my bud brough his over the other day...and damn! that thing just flew right off the line, that machine is daaaaamn nice but ur rap will beat him on top end

 

I have the 04 raptor and love it. So far no problems with my raptor. Between the two atvs it all depends on what you like . Every atv has it's plus and it's negatives.

 

The V-Force has more Low End but the Raptor has more Mid Rage & Top End. The Raptor will top out at 73MPH and the V-Force at 70MPH.
And yes they did fix the problem with the transmission.

 

my buddy(techtip101) had a vforce and I have a 04 raptor and when they were both stock i could take him at drag race's. They do take off on the line but they should they are automatic, my buddy has now sold his vforce and bought a banshee, wasnt happy with the power, thought it should have more. it is a nice quad but a little person i dont think fits it, more a big boy sport quad.

it is a great quad but the raptor will have my top choice!!!

 

they fixeed the problem with the tranny and the rear suspension in 02. I think you would like the shifting thing better LOL. I got bored riding the v still love the raps though

jbomb

 

Just another opinion, I have a Raptor and my dad has a V Force. They are both piped filtered and have Dyno Jet Kit's on them. Drag Race - Raptor gets it by a little bit, this is up boxcar, in the sand. Climbing tree lines in the sand- I actually like the way the V force climbs better. You would be suprised on how well they climb. All out riding they are both good machines. So I would say it would be up to weather or not you want to shift. Plus the Raptor has more aftermarket parts, but the Force is has its share also. Good luck and have fun!

 

what was wrong with the the rear suspension in 2001 i know its a remote rezzie and the 02 03 04 are piggyback?


thank you
