Got the Cannibal
#12
Hell yes the exhaust is hot and I'm sure steam would come off it. In fact, after a short period of time, your silencer will discolor in the middle from the heat, this is normal. I would not pour any more water on your hot exhaust unless you want to crack it!!

I love the lights and think they are perfect. My pipe only changes colors when it is hot, when it cools down it goes back to normal. I got it used, it is the one in cycletrader located in Greensburg, PA.

<< Well Monday I got the Cannibal! After that I met my friend who has a 400ex and we went riding. The handling on the two is both about the same but the speed is totally different. We only raced about 50 yards because that is the biggest straight away around and I dusted him(he has a White bros. R4, K&N, and jetting). He said I killed him off the line and it was not even close, all he said he could see was my Holeshots spraying roost all over him. The second time I stalled(I just learned how to ride a clutch). He was about 1/4 of the way done when I got going, I shifted into third and flew by him again. This thing SCREAMS! It will wheelie VERY easily in third gear.
The engine sounds really funny like it is going to fall apart any second. A question I have for you is right by the bumper is what I think is the vin number. The last three digits are 236, so is this under the recall of the steering stem or whatever was recalled? I like the noise actually, it sounds completely different than the 400ex. I like how it starts really easily with the little green button, that set up is a lot better than the others. I would really like it if they would give the Cannibal a neutral light but that does not matter that much. I thought it jumped great with the Ohlin shocks. I got it used(just broken in, maybe 1 hour of riding)and the guy had set the front shocks really loose so when I did an endo I about broke my arms. I have pics I will try to post at exriders on my friend's digital camera depending on when he can get his email back working.
I love this bike and am happy I did not get the Raptor. I love the looks of that stock muffler so I don't think I will ever pipe it. This is one sick stock bike! >>
I am glad he finally got a quad!! He has has Banshees; Raptors; 400EXs,etc On EX Riders . I want to see a pic-Sleeping Catfish!!

Since you bought it used take it to your local dealer and have them confirm that the recalls have been taken care of. While your there, go ahead and have them do an oil change and make sure they check everything out. The previous owner might have messed somethin up and you wouldn't want to make a small problem bigger.

No, Corndog or Sleeping Catfish or whatever your name is. You said at EXRiders that you definitely had a '02 Raptor that was kept at your parents 2nd home that you use to vacation at. When I asked you to supply either a VIN or a picture with you on the bike your story suddenly changed to you almost bought the Raptor but the guy backed out of the deal. All this after a week of swearing to having a Raptor and bad mouthing all other quads. You can run around to different message boards talking junk about "I've got number 236, are the recalls done on this bike" but we all know better. Crimany, I can go to my local exotic car dealership and get a VIN number and then come on here and say "My Lambo Diablo number 005 is very nice, I like the little red low oil pressure light."
Also, what does your friends email got to do with you posting pics? You don't email pics to EXRiders to post them, you just post them so your friends lack of email service is bogus. Let's pretend that his internet service is down, you can't save them to a disk and then post them from your computer? You are on a computer right now typing and it obviously works? You've always got "broken camera" or "not working email" excuses as to why you can never get pics of you on your quad (whichever one you happen to own now). Let's be real, you're a 14 year old kid with dreams of owning a premier sport quad. That's fine in and of itself but don't run to BT and say "Raptors are the best, Honda sucks" and then logon over at EXRiders and say "Boy, can't wait to have me new EX and roost on the Craptor's when the tranny explodes" and then come over here and talk about your new Cannondale and how it's superior. You can go to any quad message board and say your name and everybody knows you're the kid who lies about his quad and gets banned.
