- Trinity Racing Stage IV Exhaust System - FMF slip-on
- K&N Air Filter - K&N Air Filter
- Dynajet Kit - Jetting
- Barnett 9 Plate Carbon Fiber Clutch Kit - 2 teeth off front sprocket
- Alba Aluminum Radiator Shrouds

you

 

i think you will win aswel, but thats only if you can ride better than he can.

 

If he's stock you won't have a problem..................take his money! If he has a good full exhaust, open intake, and jetted fat on the top...........better save your money for a rainy day cause your about to have one! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

i'll re-do this for you guys since your not grasping it

2002 Bombardier DS-650 Baja
- Trinity Racing Stage IV Exhaust System
- K&N Air Filter
- Dynajet Kit
- Barnett 9 Plate Carbon Fiber Clutch Kit
- Alba Aluminum Radiator Shrouds
- Streamline Steel Braided Brake Line Kit
- Mod Quad Billet Brake Line Holders
- 22" Maxxis Razr Rear Tires

2004 Yamaha 660 Raptor
- FMF slip-on
- K&N Air Filter
- Jetting
- 2 teeth off front sprocket

 

Well lets clear the list out first:

2002 Bombardier DS-650 Baja
-Exhaust, filter, jetting, clutch, tires

2004 Yamaha 660 Raptor
-slip on exhaust, filter, jetting, gearing change


The bomb doesnt gain nearly as much with an exhaust as a raptor, the stock bomb setup makes great power. The raptor headpipe works very well on a stock bike, so a slipon will still yield a significant power increase. Jetting is a given on both. An open airbox on the rap also makes a big power increase, not so much on the bomb. The 2" larger tires on the bomb will lessen acceleration, while the 11 tooth front on the raptor dramatically increases its pull off the line. If its a top speed or really long run the bomb will have an advantage there, but a short race will favor the raptor. The lower rpm limit on the bomb also cuts into top end vs the raptor which will not hit the limiter without a lot of coaxing.

It will be a good race, and I dont think one winner could be a definate lock by comparing the bikes. The race design itself and riders will be the difference IMO.
