I dumped my buddy's Raptor on it's side yesterday when I was doing a wheelie, and I bent the rim, the A-arm and snapped off his clutch lever. I was only in second gear, and his right back tire was low so it started pulling to the right... well the front end started coming down so I gave it so more gas, and that put me on my a$$ fairly quick... but it didn't stop, and I slid for about 10 feet before it rotated to the right real quick and then dropped on it's side. I've never even come close to dumping my yfz when I do wheelies... but the raptor just never feels right to me... I didn't care much for them before this... and now I'm paying to fix it this week so my buddy can sell it and get a different quad cause he doesn't like it either...

He was gonna get a yfz, since he loves riding my so much... but he's getting a deal on a honda 450, that's too good to pass up... A brand new one w/ tons of engine work, and exhaust work, for like $5000, from the dealer.

 

He'll wish he'd spent the extra money when you smoke him....hahaha. I hear they run O.K., can't wait to meet one. Have seen a few problems brought up in the Honda Forums though.
