Do plenty of arm curls. Its going to be hard to hold on to. You will easily smoke your brothers Raptor.

No contest, the Speed will win against a stock, or piped Raptor. I know a couple of people with the Cannibals that have gone and remapped to the speed or moto mapping. That's all you have to do, and you'll walk all over them. The Cannibal mapping is very close to a raptor with an exhaust. After riding the Cannibal (my friend's bike) with the moto mapping I was very impressed. I went up the big bowl at Sand Lake in 3rd and 4th gear. It was hard to keep the front end down. Lots of power on tap in those bikes.

On another note: I've got a group of riders in the Portland/Vancouver general area (about 30 of us now), that I send out emails to and organize rides. Most of us ride sport quads, and you can usually find someone to ride with on the weekends. Riding in big groups is fun out in the dunes. Anyway, if you want to be on the list, let me know. My email address is in my profile, or you can send me a private message. I just moved from Gresham to Lake Oswego about 2 months ago.

When you go to adjust the valves go ahead and take the Head off and send it to Harry at Trinity Racing for a Port and Polish, get his Stage 4 complete system remap included and they will only see your tail light.

Smitty,

Did you get the bill yet? I'm looking to tear mine down in November to do the valves and a few other things. A port and polish job would be a nice addition.

Don't quote me but the price should be in line with any other 4 valve head.
