There is a guy in town that has a Raptor 700R He claims it does 102 MPH on his GPS and also clocked at 100MPH on the highway.
I guess he has a race pipe and a chip installed. What do you guys think?

 

In the back of his truck maybe.

 

I think the top speed could be achieved if the motor/gearing was there....but not until.

 

There is actually a limiter that kicks in when it is in 5th gear. . . if he doesn't have it unplugged or re-gear'd it won't happen. . .

But, all that aside. . . the 700 is a solid bike. I believe it will take a Stage 3 DS to beat it. I honestly don't know if a high compression, piston and cam, as well as pipe, filter and carb could beat a Raptor with a Pipe, air filter and PCIII. The Raptor is a very strong bike and with the weight savings up a hill in the dunes it is a runner.

 

my wife ownes a 700 raptor and boy is it quick and is faster than my ds but not by much, i dont know the top end speed. But i can tell you it sure dont ride
as good as the ds does feels to small for me!!

oh yea maybe downhill with the wind at his back [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I just raced a 700R who had his SA removed, K&N and remapped with my somewhat Stage 1 DS on the flat drags at Silver Lake. I was able to easily pull him by 3-5 bike lengths every time...plus I weigh about 50 lbs move than this guy.

But I think stock vs stock, the 700R would probably win easily.

 

I have an 07 raptor with a pro design intake kit, a trinity fuel injection controller and a dual pipe and mines real fast. I hat to say it but out of maybe 10 or so ds's I have raced only one outran me and it had a drag pipe on it so it must have been a pretty built. the others I could outrun by 5 bikes or more.

 

Everybody likes to compare brands and they almost always talk about the difference in motor mods. I can make twice as much difference on most race hills with setup compared to mild motor mods. Proper swingarm length, gearing, paddles, tire & wheel size and suspension setup.

Since I have dialed in the setup on my 700R, it runs the Oregon race hills at about the same performance as my DS730 did.........the motor is bone stock with a stock pipe and the airbox lid is on.

Setup for our Oregon sand, race hill length and incline and my 190 lbs:

+4 swingarm
72" rollout 9 paddle ultralights on 8" rims
13 tooth Counter Sprocket (-1)
ModQuad aluminum play axle 32"
1" additional preload w/ slightly stiffer valving in the rear

Just rev it up, dump the clutch and haul azz!

 

nut are you coming to ds days? you sound like a fun person. just hope if you do show up you dont get to be to fun and set people on fire or anything like that...LOL

 

dsnut i thought you were saying your stock raptor was as fast as a ds730.You mean your 1000r cc engine is stock in the raptor frame.
