LMAO!!! Now this argument is definaately done with this post by you. All models are the same smart one. And you ain't going to get that many ponies out of a pipe and filter mod. LOL To funny.
Keep laughing...Im sure you have heard of the well respected company by the name of CT racing...Maybe you should read here what they say about the california models

http://www.ctracing.com/raptor.htm

Stock HP is just over 33 HP and were hitting almost 50 with this kit. We did our testing on a California model. The end result is the same 49 state models have slightly more HP stock (rumored to be around 37).

There are indeed two different models of the raptor. Yamaha had to cork the raptor even more to abide by california's strict pollution laws.


The model #'s are as follows:

5LP1-All models except California
5LP3- California only

First thing you need to learn is not to believe everything you read. I do know that cali is the only state that has to have an added air intake setup, I don't think they have a different exaust, if so I will admit I am wrong about that. But what I think is so funny is how you think a bike is going to get almost 50 ponies out of a pipe and filter, LMAO.. So you think your going to get roughly 16 ponies? Please Keep digging a hole for yourself! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

If your Raptor has that many ponies, your KX500 must have 320hp[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

No where does it say california has to have an added intake system. What it does say is OHV's must abide by the pollution laws and the sound laws for the state of california. The raptor's baffle in the exhaust system is a little more restricting and the carbs are a little more detuned than the regular raptor hence the 2-4 horsepower difference between the 2 models.

Im not believing anything I am reading. I have seen true dyno numbers come from trinity racing (Ive known harry the owner for all my life even before trinity was started) and power pro's dynos. They are both local to me and have been in the business for a long time. In other words they know what they are doing. As for the KX500 they put out 50-55HP stock, so with my mods its probably putting out about 60HP to the rear wheel

yeah pro raptor couldnt find his a$$ with 2 hands and a flash light. raptors are actually high 30s when dynoed correctly. they get about 10hp with the right pipe. yeah moto,digidoo, and me should leave and go onto a more mature post cya

wrong again....There really isnt a set way to dyno. People have different methods. Every dyno will show different numbers....On average a california model raptor dynos at the rear wheels at 33-35HP add pipe, filter kit, and tuning you are looking at 10-13HP increase on average. The raptor really wakes up with these mods installed.
