I think that is a big problem... people that jump their bikes???... cuz we race and race a lot with ZERO problems... very good prev. main. and we have relatively low gearing... it is however yamahas fault that there is a weak link with the tranny, it should hold up well no matter what abuse it is put through.

we have been through the stock tires, holeshots, two sets of chen shin knobbies, but the paddles are stil running strong[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I can only take two trips on cheng shin knobbies before they are bald now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]...but it is kind of cool beating bikes with paddles when you are sporting some bald donuts[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

P.S. People at the stealership are programmed too never admit there is a problem with anything, you guys should have figured that out by now.

My apologies if I offended you, that was not the intension. You post your tranny is holding up fine, but you have a low hours 01 Raptor. Hours make a big difference. My first tranny failed at about 200 hours. Without looking at the other post when I questioned you on the matter, I bet you posted that your posted that your tranny was doing fine. But did you post that your rap is low hours? Thats the point I am trying too get across....not offend. I don't want someone too go buy an 01 Raptor thinking all will be fine without getting all of the facts first. Later gentlemen.

"Apologies", "not being aggressive", "still got original tires on an '01" c'mon guys, riding is all about being aggressive, trying to beat your buddies, trying to get more power, climbing hills that no one else can, taking the lead once in a while so someone else can eat your dust for a change.
Poking fun is just tough love, no harm is ever meant! Suck it up, get some thicker skin & ride the freakin treads off them '01 stock tires for crying out loud.....

Believe me I would love to have
1. A track or something for quads to go ridding on near by
2. A group of sport riders to ride with
or
3. A good ORV trail to enjoy
Until one of those things happen I am riding solo so how ever I am riding I am still in first place.
Some of you guys are very lucky to have nice public riding areas or a neighboring group of sport riders.
