No. Maybe 2, but not 20

It is sitting somewhere around 42 or 43 out of the crate. After that, the smallest mods make significant gains.

250R4LIFE - have you been doin any racing with that baby yet? I was at dunefest and there was a piped one and lets just say wow. Certainly impressive, even the stock ones a very impressive. My raptor and a 450 with the bffle and lid off ran dead even almost over and over again. Just wonderin what it takes to beat you?

WILDCHILD660R, I have been to Pismo on two different Beach trips. And I have done a ton drag racing with it. My YFZ450 has the Sparks
pipe, air box mod, cam mod & jetted. AND THAT'S IT! From what I have experienced on a regular basis while racing the flats or Comp hill is
this bike is in a league of it's own. It absolutely crushes piped raptors, Banshees & 250R's by over 5-6 bike lengths ( I didn't have a tape
measure, So I'm not positive). I was getting beat by the Sparks 690's and the Sparks built 400 Suzuki, And only the HIGHLY modified
Banshees & 250R's could beat me.

I was running it over the weekend of Aug 2 & 3 at pismo. There was another white one & a blue one with me that had the same mods.
There bikes were just as fast.

Thanks, maybe we'll meet up at Pismo somtime and we can see if my 250lb fat ass can stay in front of your impressive YFZ. If not Pismo, Dumont will be available again in a couple months, much better place to go. I love those quads, realy wish I could get one for my sons.

i ran into some kids with most of those mods and man they were fast, that 450 is about to put a hurt on raptor sales.

And only the HIGHLY modified

Just curious, what do you mean by "HIGHLY" modified?

Yeah maybe we can meet up sometime. That would be great. I'm hoping me, TAFTRAPTOR and the boys will be making a trip to
to Dumont when it cools off. I'm sure those Raptors will do good up those big hills since they have all that torque. But it would
be fun.

I have a mildly modified Shee and would love to see how it would fair vs a YZF450.

Imback you gotta T-rex motor dont you? I think that would be considered more towards highly modified.

250R4life throw in the 13:1 piston and you will have an edge over the other yfzs again. Mine has the exact same mods as yours but with the 13:1 and it makes the power even snappier and increases the torque. Its easy to put in and cost 220 with piston and gasket set. I live at 5000ft and have been running pump fuel with no problems.
