One of the cheapest things you can do to effect the performance of your raptor is proper gearing for the type of riding that you do most.For most situations gearing down would be the best way to go but just how low depends on your typical days ride.Just in case you dont know a chain that is even a little too tight can slow you down and it can also be very hard on bearings and chains so that is another area to look at.Proper tire pressure is also an often overlooked factor that can have a huge effect on handling and performance.These items may seem insignificant when looked at individually but when you add them all up they can make much more of a difference than most would think.

 

stickers really help performance

 

I do not recommend this mod unless you are riding on smooth surfaces. It adds undesirable feedback in the handlebars. You'll get tired of it quick.

You will notice more of a stablity difference if you add spacers to the rear wheels.

 

how do u like the gearing? do u use a steering dampener? how big jumps do you do with wheel spacers and have you seen any problems? My current set up alot of nose dives on jumps any suggestions?
