New here to the atv sport and my first sport atv to ever own anyway I just got the hang of getting my boots broken in and learning to ride with them,well i just got the 05 Raptor 350 about 3 weeks ago now and ready to get modding but don't want to get to crazy I don't really race much but I do like jumping I was just looking for any advice as far as upgrading the suspension or should I just leave it alone it seems to be well put together and seems to be ok for jumping but i don't know. Also curious about shock covers they look nice but are they Necessary do the help at all or are they just for looks anyway any info would be greatly appreciated.....ThanX

Here are sum pix of the new 350

I would get a pipe for ur 350, i did for my warrior....its the same engine and it woke it up a bit seemed to pull allot harder, more top end. I dont think the shocks are the same on the rappy350 as they are on the warrior but i blew out 2 stock warrior shocks then went to the lowest model works and wow they were waaayyyy above stock. The shock covers are nice to keep your shocks nice and new underneath and they do make it look better but its not a must have.

 

Good for you!

First mods:
-Kenda Klaws, Holeshot HDs, Holeshot XCRs, Maxxis Razrs. It really depends what terrian you ride. On....
ITP T-9s, Douglas .160, .190.
-Pro Design Foam or Guaze airfilter..
-Then a slip on Pipe

 

The biggest jump i got in power was from the Pro design intake kit and running no lid, it really wakes up your bike. The stock tires are horrible, they have good bite but weak sidewalls, so if you get that tippy feeling when your riding, its the sidewall flex. PM me if you have any more questions.

 

Umm im also moding mine.. all these guys have leaded me to some great mods. Im gonna put on a HMF Sports Series slip on, K&N Air Filter with the jetts and a graphics kit. BTW ur rappy looks really cool in black! GL

 

Don't buy the stock replacement k&n filter, its crap. Make sure you spend the money on a pro design kit with the adapter plate, it'll save you money because you will be throwing away the replacement k&n as soon as you notice it dosn't fit right.

 

Hey Velociraptor350, Your hood looks sweet! what kind of paint did you use? I know if you use certain paints on plastics, it will easily scratch off.

 

Krylon fusion for plastics, you have to prep the plastc and then let it cure for 7 days, but it won't chip off, it bonds to the plastic.

 

hey velociraptor350,
I went to your website and wrote down the info about the permacool oil cooler, but what about the big bear oil cooler cap? What parts do i need to order for that? Thanks.

 

Go to alba's website and put in 95 big bear in the parts search. You need everything from the oil filter out to the oil filter cover. The little parts are cheap, the actual adapter and cover get pricey.
