I was told you can turn the front wheels around for extra handling on the raptor 660. has anyone ever done this?

 

no, but i accedently turned the rear wheels backwards and it gave me and extra inch or so..

 

did it hurt anything and do you still ride it like that

 

you cant flip the fronts
the valve stems rub against brake caliper

 

The rears wont be a big deal, but the fronts will cause all kinds of issues with bump steer, bearing wear, tie rod stress, and more.

 

thanks for the reply

 

OOOOH but you can flip the front wheels all you do is pull the valve stem out and put it in backwards and then drill a hole on the new side and pop in a new stem or you might just might be able to buy a shorter valve stem and get by with it .[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I flipped mine for 2 years, had a little bump steer but bought a dampener and it was taken care of. I never had any bearing or tie rod failures and I religiously ride MX. Gives you a lot more stability. LAter

 

Me too. Other than the MX part.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I flipped my fronts too, with no trouble at all!
