Look on yamaha.com at the Raptor 700 SE and there it is the Blue and white colors are just so sweet I think this will be the bike for me! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
I am curious are the shocks harder for the SE models than the regular raptor. Cause I want it to ride smooth and not harsh or racing. I will be just trial riding and some dune riding.

 

Yeah, they're pretty sweet but I really like the black and orange SE. I think thats the best looking Raptor yet but I wouldn't want one.............I'd be afraid I might scratch it.......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I know they ride rougher with the YFZ shocks but I don't know how the SE shocks ride.

 

The shocks are the same for SE LE or R models. I have a 2006 SE old school colors yellow and black and the shocks are soft. The YFZ shock is better but still not for me as you have very little you can do with them good shock for all around playing. I got the Elka shocks and what a sweet shocks they have 4 ways to adj the shock and don't over heat on hard riding days. Trail riding the stock shocks are fine they will give you a sweet ride

 

I have the grey with red frame 700r and the damn paint is already comming off the frame [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] But as far is colors I like all them except the regular yamaha blue one

 

So I'm guessing the paint isn't powdercoated. Is that why it's coming off so fast. That sucks cause on the white and blue and the grey and red raptor 700 even the aluminum is painted. I hope it is powdercoated and last but I doubt it. Has anyone else had problems with the painted frames?

 

if its powder coat its one crappy job because my started to come of my first ride
