Should I buy 660 Raptor
I'm looking at a YFM660 Raptor at a local dealership. It's a 2002 with full skid plates in perfect condition. They want $3995. Is it a good price? I'm looking to run the quad on a track (not for competetive racing, just fun) and in trails, will the Raptor out accelerate my 400ex? I know it's alot faster but where I ride, it's tough to get out of third or fourth gear. Any help would be appreciated. Hopefully I'll be on the Yamaha side soon.

I bought a 01 Raptor in 02 it had a few mods on it, GYTR graphics, skids, works shocks, fat Pro Tapers.
I put GYTR exhaust, and DG nerfs on it. I love this bike. No serious problems so far. Runs hard, wastes my buddies 400EX. Great for on the track and trails.

You can get used quads down far from the asking, they just want to get rid of it. Be firm, I would shoot for 3500 and no more like caliraptor said.

if you do a lot of track riding you might want to widen the rear to make more stable around corners. other than that it is a good quad and i would get it.

I got an 04' and it was a little tippy with the stock axel. Depends on how ya ride it too, if you put around, no prob, if you drive like a wild man, problem. I put on a dominator II by RPM on it and now it is TON more stable in the rear. That however is not a cheap way of doin' it AND i might not be able to fit in tight trail scenarios as well as some others but its a nice axel and strong. I shouldn't see any problem with some spacers, That way, use them on the track and take em off for the trail. Durablue makes some nice ones and I accually have a pair of brand new ones from Ronnie's that I don't need and would be willing to sell. They are the Ronnie's brand, 1" and are made of billet aluminum. If you get the bike and are interested, email me. stretch442@aol.com
