Default Trinty turbo raptor?? What happened??

I saw a new turbo raptor take off and made it 250 feet before it blew up?caught fire?? The owner jumped off and was throwing sand all over the intake. It that motor toasted?? What was it. I talked to the guy for a split second and said it dynoed at 123 on trinity's dyno. Was it a 686? 727? I gathered that was his first run in the sand on sunday after bringing it out of the shop.

that was Raptor720 on that bike. If I remember correctly (had beer for breakfast) I think it back fired and blew the seat off and then did it again and toasted his ****. lol. I think it was a $2 seal that broke.

Yep, I would say that fire is never good when you are riding your bike. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Do you think its is to much stress on the motor with a ALKY 727 and a turbo? Would it be a hillshooter only or a all day bike
