Raptor Front A-Arms
Im waiting on my LTD Pred to get here, so this weekend at RockHill Moto Track in Miss. I was racing a friends raptor ran fine the first couple of laps, then i came off a double and landed..... bent both of the upper A-Arms so far they were rubbing the shocks, those things are so thin u might as well twist up some aluminum foil and bolt it on.... my advice is dont jump the raptor.... Yamaha has turned me away, after owning 3.. 98 Warrior, 95 Blaster, 02 Wolverine (all torn up) I was stuck between a 450R and a Pred, decided to go with the pred...its on the way cant wait

Not everyone is capable of landing all 4 out of every jump every Lap..... But I guess your a pro, you know.... The thing im saying is one front wheel landing, which BTW wasnt a nosedive just the front tires hit a little b4 the back, bent these things.... Ricky Stator makes chromoly A-Arms to correct this, I emailed him he said he gets alot of orders for the raptor.... Guess other people arent PRO either.....
