If your friend just got it today, I would bet that the motor is somewhat tight, and it isn't going to rev as quickly as it will once it is broken in. The facts are the facts. Given that they are both basicly the same motor, and the fact that the Raptor 350 is some 35 to 40 lbs lighter, in STOCK form, with equal riders and conditions, the Raptor 350 will beat the Warrior. Once that Raptor 350 gets loosend up a little, it's performance will increase.

2 bike lengths in a 1/4 mile is not a heck of a lot when you consider the tightness of his motor and the fact that you have a pipe.

im impressed the old warrior did so well, but the 430 kit is big money aint it... Personally i think before i would spend that much money on my warrior i would just buy a yfz450

ya after the raptor 350 breaks in a bit it should smoke you but im not convinced all the extra money for the Rap 350 is worth it over just a warrior

I can't stand the guys with the super loud 4-strokes. I have a piped 350x and can't wait to get rid of it for another 2-stroke. Maybe it's just me but I think a 2-stroke sounds a lot better than a 4, my little brothers blaster with a full pro circut system sounds sweet. Not as nice as our snowmobiles, but oh well. I'm not all about loud pipes either, a nice sound is one thing but there is no need for super loud pipes on trail machines.
