I did a search on your past posts and I guess I am surprized you would ask this with the problems you have had with the Grizzly[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Are you sure you want to go with Yamaha again? My 01 Raptor has been great for myself though.

Same here, over a year now actually. My cousin has an 02 thats bone stock and has beaten it to death and it runs great. Those tie rod sleeves tend to bend a lot when you crash hard though.

My 01 is still going strong. Get one, you won't regret it.

I still think the trannies are suspect and the one-way starters may cause problems. But, it's hard to find a better bike in it's class. Theyve worked out a lot of the little bugs.
