What aftermarket rods are available for the Raptor? I know about the Carrillo for about $240ish and have heard of a Ti Rod, who makes that? Are there any others that warrant consideration? Thanks!

 

Nobody knows??????

 

Carrillo makes the Ti rod also I think.

Not so!!! $175 direct from Carrillo!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] They also make th Ti rod, for about $500!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

On average the Ti rod vs. the stock rod there is about an 96 gram weight difference between the two. Could you take 96 grams off of the flywheel and get the same results as far as how the bike will rev? I know the stock rod is weaker but i'm talking the way the bike revs. Slim

 

I think the L&A oneway lightens the flywheel allmost that much.

 

FYI..the Ti rod is not made by Carillo.

 

Well the next time I have a one way failure The LA design one way will go in and ill lighten the flywheel too; When this happens I guess i'll find out the good and bad side of doing this. If I find a good used flywheel i'll try and pick that up just in case I dont like the overall results cause it could loose too much torque; I stil like to trail ride with it so I enjoy the torque but it definitely should rev quicker. Something for the future. Slim

 

Slim, Shockwave at the ATVDRA posted a wonderfull peice on fly wheel lightening for four strokes. Check it out before you do anything.


THAT is a very good question though. Does weight off the flywheel give you the same results as weight off the rod????? I bet not just because of the continous motion of the flywheel compared to the way the rod moves.
