yes thats like 50mph. my raptor has a lot of power and its only piped. first and second gear i dont have to pull at all. just give it gas and up it comes. 3rd tho, i gotta pull a little. 4th, i cant. im wondering if there is a trick or if u just need more parts. 4th i can lift the front end, just not stand it up.

I would just sit on the back of the seat and get it in the power band, let out of the gas, then hammer the gas.......
it would come STRAIGHT up........


and yes......your bike will run much better when jetted properly......

I have a HMF exhaust jetted 150 and 155. I can hit 4th lay back and punch it and ride one out between 50 and 100 yards. Pretty intense going that fast ridding a wheelie. It almost seems the the HMF acts like a thruster [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

On level ground and using only throttle without pulling or jerking 3rd is the best I can do. I'm piped, jetted and use my dual filter adapter.
