Aight,i have a 2002 Raptor and i have a thirst for speed that i cant quench.Wut would help me out in that department.Does any one know wut th GYT-R pipe does for performance?My uncle is manager of a yamaha dealership and gives me a 40% discount on any yamaha parts i buy,so the more sutff thats yamaha the better.Help me out here.

get a banshee

I'd try a pipe first along with an air filter. Then get in the engine.

 

I knew deep down that was going to be the first thing anyone sed.I cant seperate myself from my Raptor,so a bike switch isnt gonna happen.How would i get it to rev higher,i dont like th sound it makes when i have the throttle pinned in 5th gear,lol.

I was joking. Someone has to be a raptor rider. HAHA j/k again..

The problem with a raptor is there is only so many bolt on's that do much. After bolt ons it gets kinda expensive. AS for the revs maybe an ignition box? Not sure. But mainly to get high revs you need to build it for high revs. I know that doesn't really help much.

 

Gotta second the "get a shee" statement, but if you and your rap are an inseparable pair, then the least you can do is a pipe & filter. It's a relatively cheap solution for major hp gains, basically the beginning of any serious bike's mods. From what I've heard, the gyt-r isnt a bad pipe at all, but a yosh pipe has a bit more power, but if you only get discounts on yami parts and not all manufacturer's parts (I dont know how this discount of yours works), then the gyt-r surely wouldnt be a bad choice. I often find that accel is more "quenching" than top speed, hence the shee. If you get the extra 10, 12, 14 hp or whatever the pipe you choose will give you (I'm not here to argue the numbers, leave me alone ppl!) then you should have a slightly more "quenched" thirst for speed. Also, if you decide to get into the motor, having a higher compression piston can help a bit, and an aftermarket piston that is lighter than stock is a pretty cheap mod that can help you rev faster, and if you have the hp to back it up (the pipe), then you will have noticably faster accel. As a cheap mod for better accel I have to throw out the option of a sprocket change (- front, + rear), you will lose some top speed but you will accelerate much faster. If top speed is your bag though, you can do a sprocket change in the opposite direction (+ front, - rear), and you can have that rappy doing easily 80-85 (you will lose accel though). Anyway, hope that helps.

 

johnny,correct me if im wrong,but u know ure $hit.wut would a new cam from someone like Web Cams do for me?my uncle sells me th parts at dealers cost,and i rememberd that he can get me parts from pretty much any aftermarket company at th discouted rate.so i mite b able to get a yoshi pipe,and with such a cool name and logo,i dont know y i shouldnt get one in the first placewut do you think would b a good company to get a new piston from?thanks for all your help.

Thank you! Although there are a lot of ppl on here who can put little tidbits of info like that to shame. To back that up, I dont know a whole lot about the performance aspects of new cams, you'll have to get somebody more familiar with 4-strokes on that one. The piston can be from wiseco, I've never heard anything bad about them, and I dont know of many other companies that make performance pistons. A part of me is saying JD racing or something but I dont know where I got that name so dont rely on that.

 

get a curtis sparks full system...... stage 1 or 2 hotcam, and the piston u should go with a wiseco..... but get a higher compression piston..... if u get stage 2 cam, get a valve spring set, and if u still need more nuts, send in ur head to get a porting job with all this, you should then easily be able to run a higher tooth front sprocket with no problem

 

how much of a pain would it b to get into the engine and swap pistons?would it b a couple hour job,or a couple days job?

i know you are trying not to get other parts than yamaha parts, but i heard the LTE exhaust system gives you 13.5 more hp's, and it goes out in 2 pipes instead of connecting together and going out 1 silencer.
