Yeah thats what I was thinking too... but when I had my pred I had for sure 1 but maybe 2 raptors beat me, the rest I beat. The quads that consitantly kicked my butt were the DS, an occasional banshee (with paddles) and the YFZ.

I agree......ds(wins on top, otherwise it is even).....rappy, is pretty much even......yfz, wins in short race and pred might catch up......trx, same as yfz only a little easier to catch....shee(stock)....not too bad, don't really loose to these much. I haven't lost to a 400ex yet......

NJ.....You will probably win, but I bet I'm not too far back(1 or 2 links)........how about you wait until I get some more money around(like 2 or 3k) and then we will race...???......lol......I would like to come out, but too far......It would be fun though.

I'll still race you on the mx/xc track anyday though.....Mine is setup perfectly and will run exactly how I like it(if not, all is left is fine tuning)........plus most of this racing is how much you have in your pants, not in your wallet(but wallet helps when it comes to equal riders).......

Lol.. Last place you'll find me is on a mx track.. I'm too old, and far from good enough. Just turned 32 today. When I get hurt, it hurts for a week now.

good luck on your test.. too bad you can't get out here. I'd really like to see you take my rap out for a ride. Aftermarket suspension can cure almost everything. You should check into elka shocks. It makes an eye opening experience.

NJ.....I have basically elkas(with my rezzies and triple rate springs).....my setup is pretty close to elkas, and Doug helped me set them up. They help a ton, plus my kit lowered my quad about 2 inches.....another big plus for me........

Is your whole setup all polaris? The long travel a arms and ssd shocks blew my mind. When we went to tower city(rock central), I made out like a champ except that I should have a steering damper.
