OK... Im new to the ATV thing, Rode MX for years and have the scares to prove it.... however you guys are scaring me on the reliablity question of the Raptor. There is a guy that has done the White Bro/Jet/wheels thing to his '01, and I was gonna buy it. I take it that an '01 is not the preferred year for the Raptor? What other issues are you guys having?? What should I look for when considering a purchase? Thanx in advance for the advice.

I was like you, but I went out and bought an 04 last week. The only issue is with the one way. The 01's have bad trannys, so get something newer. I am happy with my purchase, and can't wait to roost some sand!
