If anyone of you Raptor brothers of mine find out when some after market parts become available let me know. I don't think I like the looks of the handlebars, I'm thinking Renthal. Also what do you all think is going to be the best pipe for the beast. Just an idea, Yamaha has tac/hour meters available for there quads, might be a good idea to keep track of the hours. Later

2001 Raptor
2000 400EX

 

the tach/hour meter is a good idea... also i heard at the dealer that yamaha already makes another exhaust as well as hlite covers and several other accessories like different skid plates front bumpers and the like... would be easy to customize your beast if that is the case...

 

you can get an hour meter at a lawn mower whop for like half the price of an oem im sure

 

My Raptor will arrive in a few days. I was wanting a smaller front sprocket for it. Does anyone know if a sprocket off of another ATV will fit (Maybe a banshee or warrior) or will I have to wait for a sprocket designed for the Raptor?

 

Check with Sprocket Specialists http://www.sprocketspecialists.com

If they don't have it, they will probably be one of the first to.

 

Dont know about the sproket i asked the dealer the same question and he had no answer i was also considering a higher comp piston and maybe cam they seem to wake up a 400ex and warrior since i am heavy at 300+ the beast will prob need some help in my case what do you think??

 

PRM has stuff for the RAPTOR.

 

I talked with sprocket specialists. The guy that answered the phone had never heard of the Raptor. He said since it was new that they wouldn't be able to have sprockets available until they get to take apart a Raptor and measure it.

 

Where can you get info on the aftermarket stuff? Is there anything on the internet? I looked at the Yamaha Home page, and they only had accessories for the other ATV's. Nothing for the raptor. Am I going to have to go the the dealer to get any info on stuff like pipes, or the other Yamaha Add Ons?

 

I read this article in the Sept. issue of 4-wheel atv action magazine.
