The 660 and 700 are simmalar deff not the same. With EFI better suspension and lighter weight the 700 just is in a diff class compared to the 660 not to mention the hop up potential of the 700!

Yea i think thats y he wants the 660 because the 660 and 700 are pretty close 2 the same thing and the 660 costs just as much as a 400ex i think thats his reasoning makes sense if you ask me</end quote></div>


He'll learn the lesson everyone else has learned, the first time he dumps that 660 over in a tight turn! Now if he is willing to widen it, then....

Avoid the first year model 660 (01 I think???), becasue they had major tranny problems.

 

How much should he widen it?



Whats the reliabileity of the 660? is it any where near as reliable as the 400ex?

 

Which quad is better for aggressive ridders 400ex? raptor 660?

 

You can cheaply widen the Raptor with some different tires and rims (wider and with a greater offset).

The EX is no slouch, but it doesn't have the torque of the 660. Again, the Z400 would be the best choice!

 

imo the raptor 700 is far better thant he 660. every part of it is better imo. from the stock suspension and frame. to the breaks being some of the best out there. and if and when he ever wants to mod the 700 is much more reliable and there are meny more mods for it.

 

Well the kawazuki 400 had losts of problems with the years he would be interested in frame in 03-04 cluth cover in 05 and up he wants to buy something that hes not gonna have 2 take a welder to or pull the cluth cover off and have 2 replace tht basicly the bottum line is he wants to buy this quad take it home and ride it without having to deal with any problems at all

 

He wants a play machine, and a powerhouse... but no maint?
sounds like a newbie to me that is going to kill him self on a big bore.

He needs what you have... mojave
also see 300ex/. warrior/ raptor 250/350 400ex z400 lakota

 

I can donut wheelie jump and slide with ease on a bayou 220. does that count?

 

Haha hes definatly not a nuwbie iv seen him ride hes really good and has a 250 street bike motor in his mojave so i think he can handle a big bore plus he has a lot of seat time on my other friends kfx 700 so he should be able 2 handle it and he doesnt want to be fixing it all the time is what i mean by barely any maintenance.
So is the raptor an ok play machine?
