Default KFX700 v.s. Raptor

I have heard many different outcomes to what happens.In a drag on pavement who wins?In fast trails and wide opens fields and mud who will win.I know my KFX has better suspension
so will i beat him in the trails. If i cut some holes in my airbox would it give thee advantage i need. We are both 15 and have been riding quads for as long as i can remember.So we are both good riders.

Line'm up and you tell us!! I've been wanting to know this myself. Most guys in my area have raptors. I will be getting v-force very soon. Can't wait! Still haggling with dealers on price. We're @ $6225. I would like to get to $6000+tax.....we'll see.

I got good results by cutting a 2" square hole in the air box ... and changing the jets
( Real easy to do ....can get bowls of carbs with out removing anything )

You won't have any problem running with the Rappy until you exceed about 55 mph.
most trail ridding won''t get to that speed. You will do much better in the hard turn
situations.

He has wrecked his alot, i think that every piece of his plastic is broke. I mean really he is in double digits with his crashing.Both of are quads are bone stock, what will happen after 55mph, how fast will he pull away? What will my KFX 700 be with duals, jets, and a K&N?

Stock to Stock ..... you will be a few quad lengthes ahead of him at about the 500 foot mark.

He will then start to reel you back in .... and will pass you on the top .... he likely has about
5 mph more top speed than you do.

I have made the changes to my KFX that you asked about .... and I can tell that it has made
a difference ..... but I won't be matched up against the RAppy again untill tomorrow or Friday.
