Ya man, mo money if yu funny!
Seriously though, I respect anybody who's passion is to get the most out of their machine!!!
My neighbor used to have a trailblazer. It was a great trail quad but not enough power to climb the big hills.
The more mods he did to it, the louder & more annoying it got.
I am sure you can make it run good but he hassled with his until he got sick of it.
Recently he got another auto tranny quad, the Kawa vforce 700 vtwin. Best sounding quad I ever heard, especially with dual exhausts.
He cut up the airbox lid & rejetted the carbs & added a pink spring clutch kit & Muzzi exhaust & now it almost keeps up with my 686 Raptor.
Nice quad but he says the front end feels heavy & wears him down on the trails & wants to know if a suspension upgrade will fix that?

They have to concentrate on upgrading the yfz components since its just fresh from its first year of production. The raptor is now the oldest high performance atv design without major modification since 02. At least the 400ex got a new carb. The ds has been upgraded significantly for 04, and none of the other atvs were around then. (except the cannibal but thats a different story)
The banshee hasn't seen one change since 1990. Unless raptor bars and grips in 2003 is a change.
Banshee doesnt count, its on its way out so it would be dumb for yamaha to upgrade it signficantly. The blaster did get plastics and rear brakes a few years ago though.

I would love to see the Raptor come out with EFI and stock wider a-arms and rear axle, and gussetted corners on the frame.
