Default Raptor 350: Not Impressed

I was riding my friends brand new Raptor 250le today, and was extremly disappointed. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] I have never seen the lack of low end power this thing had, i could barely pop the front end up!!!! I mean the thing looks really nice, but what happended to the lower end power???? Once you hit higher gears it seems to pull better, but come on everyone needs some low end power. Well enough ragging on it do you guys know of the best pipe all round pipe for it???

any exhaust that fits the worrior fits the rappy, try the HMF, its low end pipe.

STOCK PIPE BLOWS BILLY GOATS. Tell your friend to get a HMF , get rid of that horrid stock filter and jet it. Youll get a nice boost, the low end will wake up and then you'll start b1tching about the topend. (ive been down that road)

Ohh its still a baby, wait until the first oil change and then try it out, they lossen up a little and it gets more "revvy". Still stock sucks, and your right about that exhaust, it does sound like a meat grinder.

Not bashing on the Raptor Junior, but I read that you liked the way it looks, for me it looks horrible, specailly the fake grill, and I wasn't expecting much of it in power so that tells you my part. IMO
