I have the chance to get a 2001 yamaha raptor and there is nothing wrong with it. just normal riding scratches and scuffs. The guy that i would get it from is going to get a factory graphics kit put on for me and a tune up before he would sell it to me. He has some mods done to it like a white bros exhaust, k&n filter, renthal handlebars, the carb is jetted, rear realtor tires and front itp holeshots a new front grab bar and shock covers and a hevy duty chain and a helmet...etc He is going to sell it to me for $3500. What are the problems with the 2001 raptors and is it a good machine? and also how would i make the white bros become quieter is there a silencer for it? i want to know because our trails are around a bunch of old crabby people and we always get yelled at and the cops called.

Its a good price. But I dont think you should do it for an 01. The 2001 Raptor was the first year model for the Rappy. And the trannys is most likely to go out, and it can become a money pit. The 02 and up are great. But the 01's did have problems.

 

how much do new trannys cost
