nobody asked you if you loved it,and please keep the junked zilla......and you say all these problems,i know of 2 name 4 and you get a prize!!!!

and i would talk crap about the predator but since i always whip them up on the hills theres no sense making fun of the sucky gearing(Powershifting),and that annoying bump on the seat that is in your a$$,but you probabley like that..

 

booohooohooo i feel sorry for you the only way you could get a craptor to outrun a predator was to bore it out and put a higher compression piston in it stock for stock they run dead even and the craptor has more than a 160cc over the pred whats bad and i do meen really bad is that a 530cc will smoke a 686 craptor and still has less cc's 186 less to be exact so keep on talking your bullsh!t we all know better

 

Stock for stock the raptor beats a predator with a skilled rider, seen it too many times, even had riders switch bikes.

 

and oh i bought the kids one of those raptor 80's and i will give you 2 count them 2 guess's where it is at.it will be my last yamaha.oh to keep the kids happy i went and bought them a brand new predator 90

 

not by enough to really call it a whoopin more like dead even with skilled riders that is

 

and if it is a 1/2 in ahead look at how much more cc's the craptor has. redifining the ole adache there is no replacement for dislacement haha what a joke

 

why even bring up the 80 we are not even talking about the 80. I just said beat not an a$$ whoopin?

 

If Yamaha were smart, they would put better a-arms and axle (stronger and wider) and a little better suspension (maybe adjustable for different riders) They solved the 2001 problems with the tranny, which is a great thing. I just wish they would put the new gears in the 2001 when people bring them in for work. I don't know if they fixed the stator plate problem or not, but that needs to be addressed. I'm not sure how many other people have had problems with the stators or not, but my best friend is on his third. He doesn't submurge the motor in water or anything, so I don't know why it keeps going out. He also has had his axle carrier bearings go out, and the reverse switch went out twice, and blew his front shocks. From what I've heard though, the 02 and 03's are a lot better and more reliable. That's a great thing. I choose my Predator because of the "add-on's" that came stock for cheaper than a Raptor. I didn't think it would beat a Raptor in the drag race, until I ran against one. Now I'm even more happy about my purchase. To each their own, some people talk like if you own a Predator or a Raptor, you're not worth riding with. I say, throw it on the trailer and lets have a day or weekend of fun!!

 

TRUE DAT!

 

Almost time to get Ayden a quad don't ya thing? lol My kids are old enough to bother me for one, I wanna get them one, but the wife is worried about it! I told her it's safer on a quad then their peddle bikes! I don't know if that will work!
