i want to know from individuals who can say first-hand that one is faster than the other. stock stock or whatever way you have seen a race. all bull aside, i REALLY WANT TO KNOW! thanx a lot peoples. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

By the numbers(statistic's), the Raptor has the higher top speed.

 

Go to dunereview.com and click on the St. Anthony's section, and on page 5 there is a picture of me on my YFZ dragging a Raptor. The Raptor had a cam, piston, and pipe and my YFZ is stock. Pretty close race you might say.

 

here is my experience with my completely stock YFZ at 13 hours

raced both a stock Banshee and a yoshi/filter/jetted Raptor on a gravel atv dirt road.

I first raced thh Banshee and was able to beat it off the line and held the lead until
I shifted into 5th by 3 or 4 quad lenghts.

I then raced the Raptor and beat it by 2 to 3 quad lenghts however when I looked back
as I shifted into 5th I could see he was creeping up on me.

I stopped both races when I shifted into 5th because I'm trying to following the manual
for break-in and according to the manual I need 20 hours before WOT.

These two races were the first time I hit the throttle wide open and I am not even sure
if I was letting it wind out enough before shifting due to lack of experience with this engine
and the fact that it is new. If you get a chance to drive one you will see that it revs very
fast and quick..

 

what would it make a difference if u topped it out the first time u ever rode it? im confused

 

this subject is going to be beaten to death...... does it matter? they are damn near identical stock

they are both Yamaha


LOVE THEM BOTH!
