Are there any ways to put the Raptor on a Diet? I looked around and, it doesn't appear anything is un-needed. I saw you can take of the parking brake but, for a meezly few ounces, is it worth it?.. I'd need about 30 things like that to make and, noticable difference. My friends Banshee's seem a ton lighter.

 

Let me have it for a week. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

There's a ton of stuff you can remove to make it lighter. The biggest is get a new exhaust system, bumper, battery, and etc. If you don't wanna spend money the parking brake, heelguards, rubber mud guards, little un-needed bolts and screws, headlights & taillight (plus wiring), airbox (if you have proper mods), skid plates, and etc. I'm sure there are some stuff I forgot but thats the majority. Hope it helps!

 

I have a new Exhaust, not sure that i would want to get rid of the stock plastic skids (i know they have saved me in a few places) or, take the lights off? That would not only make it look weird but be pretty unsafe at Dusk.

I was thinking more along the lines of prats that are heavy like the stock Swing arm looks like it is Heavy! And, i wish there was a way to have a kickstart to avoid the battery and, battery connections weight. I think i'm stuck.

 

Raptors dont look weird with their lights off. Because right now mine are off because I broke one and it still looks fine,it looks more like a racing quad without them.

 

i agree i think they look great with no light and i also like when they have cut front fenders.

 

I agree..........das my setup.......

 

I seem to be going the other way....I put full skids on mine....

going to put a flame front bumper on. Added headlight covers.

Maybe I should put mine on a diet. Or go on a diet myself. I guess I could go from 185 to around 175. LOL

 

Pull the front brakes off.

 

theres lots of things that can be changed to aluminum.
