Wow, you feel like I felt when I got rid of my Raptor, that thing was always snaping this or loosing that and what not it was a money pit that still could fall behind, The YFZ is a great 4 stroke choice and you will be much happier. I looked at the YFZ alot just before trading in the Raptor for the Banshee but I just had to have that 2 stroke feeling.

What I think is a problem with Raptors is that they vibate alot. I know you lost a few nuts and bolts on the old Rappy.

The vibration on a Raptor is so strong that I could literally feel everypower stroke but I think this is normal for big four strokes.

I used to have a suped up atc 185s. One time I started in my car port and went into the house to get some tools, when I came out the trike had vibrated off the car port and was working it's way to the fence sideways.

My buddys Raptor has never had a problem either. I've been through all the typical Raptor stuff though. It kind of sucks that I'm selling it now w/ all the aftermarket upgrades of Yamahas weak shizz. I don't wanna fix the next thing.

You got to pay to play - As for the YFZ, I could have purchased one a few months ago but instead bought another Raptor. I couldnt resist the Power and the seating. That YFZ felt like my sons breeze when I sat on it. It does have the power but not like the Raptor. JMO
