Why don't you guys go to the yamaha forum and go to thankgiving king of the hill reports and see how many raptor owners admit to my 440ex beating them up olds hill at Glamis, some are even 686 raptors and 1 lrd720. Go ahead check it out. check out page 5 post by longtimeduner.

 

your 440 ex beat a 686 up glamis? okay buddy that is just about the most rediculous thing i ever heard in my entire life, most stock rappys can spank modified exs and i have witnessed it

 

Just4kicks, what are you talking about? Some people don't like raptors, doesn't mean that they don't like it because it isn't a Honda.

 

Im willing to toss a 440 in the ring that whoops 686 rappy's and 720 ds's any one got a problem with that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] And im with you Just4kicks lets call yammie up and tell them to quit making the Rappy craps !!!!!!! LOL J/K[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Yamaha4eva did you check out the yamaha forum? You'll see some raptor owners admitting they got beat don't take my word for it.

 

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZ

 

I agree w/ yamaha4eva. I've spanked my fairshare of 400ex's and one 440 and I was even in sand with practically bald tires. But maybe that 440ex did beat the raptor up the glamis hill, if he had the right gearring. I agree that I have heard only good things about honda's reliability but its hard to beleive it can beat a raptor with 40 extra cc's and couple more bolt-ons.

 

I can outrun stock raptors and banshees with my stock bore, high comp (10.5 to 1) piston, hotcam stage 2, head ported and polished, FCR 39mm carb, and Big Gun rev box. I race plenty of them every week at our local riding spot. I can run side by side with piped raptors. If you don't believe me, then there is nothing I can do about that. But it is the truth.

 

that is what I'm thinkin
one of my friends has a 01 ex
hot cam stage 2
yoshi full system
and he "said" it had some porting.........

with my stock gearing, he still couldn't stay near me.......
(this was when i was stock bore 11:1, stage one cam, and hulled out stock exhaust)

and if you think STOCK 400ex's can beat stock raptors........
you really need some help

 

no ex can beat a raptor. something is bad wrong if they do.
