Compare the engine specs, the yfz is a much more aggressive build than the raptor. Much higher compression, mean cam timings, and a dohc setup just to list a few. The raptor is and always has been a cruiser/trail machine and not so much a racer. The raptor is held back a lot more than the yfz.Originally posted by: Evolution

No, there are no battery issues with the yamaha raptor. There have been some one-way problems but it seems to be a hit and miss thing, also the 04 model supposedly had some changes to it.

if you ask the people that have problems is because they probably only turn on their quad every year for thanksgiving. but you can use a batery tender that keeps your batery alive, its around 30 bucks on ebay.

Battery Tenders are about 15 bucks at WALMART[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Everybody should own one!! they work.
Maddogg is right, The 450 is sold in a much higher state of tune, then the Rappy. The potential for the rappy is WAY HIGH. But if you want a good quad that has all the motor work done for you, then the 450 is better deal. IMO.
Bigger.

The california model makes anywhere from 2-4 less horsepower than the raptors sold in other states.Originally posted by: caliraptor

uh, all 660 raptors come with the SAME exhaust/intake setup. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

the cali models are more "choked" via a more restrictive exhaust, to keep polution down.

I also see you didnt even try to reply with a comeback to the california raptor subject. It has been nice owning you

Wow, you must be Einstien. No CA models? Hmmm, then why does Alan Knowles from CT state that their test quad that only made 36 hp stock was a CA model and then after their pipe/filter/jet mods, it makes almost 50 hp? Go to their website and look at the Raptor section - you'll find it at ctracing.com.

So who do you own??? Yeah, that's what I thought...
