good choice, i have a 06 yamaha blaster and runs great 2 stroke engines wear out quicker so i need to pop in a new piston, but never had any trouble : )

 

Well I made the jump!!! Just got home with my new 2008 black and red raptor 700r se!! This machine is a tork monster!!!! Also just ordered the "big 3" barkers duals, pc3, and trinity intake with k&n filter!! Can't wait to get the mods in, break the motor in, and take it to the dunes!!! (I love my fiancee for taking care of me and my hobbies!!) LOL Im spoiled!!

 

That is a nice bike but keep in mind that it can't fully adjust the fuel injection to the optimum setting for your altitude or air density since it doesn't have oxygen sensors in the exhaust like fuel injected cars do.
You can probably find other fuel maps online and download them to a laptop and load them on your Raptor.
Once again that is a nice bike, crongratulations.

 

Thank you! Yea after researching for about a week I ordered a power kit that was already put together by tech quad shop. They are including a map for that exact settup with my purchase (so they say) but if the one they send doesnt work I have found a few sites through my research that I have saved in my favs. that have a bunch of maps and some for the specific setup I ordered soooo I guess we will find out if I can wake the beast up in a few weeks!

The color scheme with the black and red looks way better in person too!

 

congrats on the raptor, my riding buddy is all yamaha. i always bust his ***** because i am a honda guy. however, the new raptor is a sweet machine. i rode a 2007 that was the orange and black with mods and i could not believe how great it rode. i will say that i can still get a raptor off the line with my 450, but as soon as i am just about ready to run out of ear they come screaming by. 450's are rev happy high rpm bikes, 700r is like you said a torqe monster, and they keep pulling forever it seems like. one thing i am disapointed on with you.............. is that you did not post pics. what is up with that..lol lets see they new badboy!

 

My friend has a 08 yfz 450 and it untuchable. although the 08 450r runs side by side till top end the yfz.
