i feel it is a lil top heavy, but like dunerider said i'm used to a ds so

 

I totally agree with it being top heavy, I went from a rappy 350 that I could slide allover to this which grabs when I try to slide it and watch out! I need to lower it or make it wider. Any cheaper alternatives? Shocks and axels are just way to expensive!

 

I cant stop starring at your avatar [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] gotta love a great a$$

BTW, raptor aint tippy, you do sit a bit higher than other bikes but once you get used to it, you forget it was ever tippy or tall. Ive got to admit that adding 4-5in out back helps out A LOT, but I think it would help out ANY other bike.

 

lol^^

thanks, thats what everyone says......even ive been scrolling through some threads and my avatar has caught my eye and i have to stop and check it out.

What does everyone think about the stock pipe on raptors?

 

I threw mine in the garbage. But if you like it quiet I guess it's alright.

As far as tippy, if it was 1 1/2" lower up front and about 2" in the rear it would be about right for my taste.
But some would rather have the ground clearance and travel.

 

I think its the weight of the rider that is the factor, under 225lbs NO,over 225lbs YES

 

I say if youve ridin a sport machine before your fine,I heard that crap alot before I bought
one and once I tried one I had no problems what so ever,Im 160-165 5'-11"
and Ive owned 2 of them, very nice machines,put the mods to it and have a blast.A nice cam jetted,pipe does wonders [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

it is top heavy if you are an inexperienced rider riding too slow

if you ride fast, and know how to throw your weight around it isnt that bad

 

they are a little top heavy.. if you compare them to the smaller lower quads... and they love to nose dive too.. thats why I have a banshee instead of a scraptor

 

I've noticed the front likes to dive in the air as well. I'm 160 lbs riding stock set up. Perhaps the rear is too stiff? I've seen ppl do mondo air with them so I imagine it must have to do with the setup and preloading.
