Let ya know in about a week what mine runs like when finished also I found out it has a fmf torque reed cage. Haven't got a clue what hp its got. Also before I stripped mine down it ran pretty well but it was hard to start by kicking (thats one of my reasons for stipping it down) I do most of the work myself( with a littel help from dad every so often). Also that thing kicks *** and has loads of torque, you'll notice it going uphill!

 

and yes a mint condition engine, off the show room floor in 1987 made 51 RWHP. These bikes were also very heavy. and the tecate did make 40 RWHP, it was very fast in a straight line. you cant compare the old, tired engines now to the new ones off the showroom floor.

 

actually, dry weight, a zilla weighs less than a raptor........

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] the 660r is also very heavy... how much did the 500's weigh?

 

someit like 394lb if i remember correctly.

 

close, my manual says the 500 is 392lbs and the yamaha site claims 398lbs.

 

OOOOOH! 4lb of a difference, may put the rappy on a diet LOL.

 

lol, every pound you can shave off counts

 

I made a mistake its 6lb of a difference, that rappy must have a big but.LMFAO!!
