I have an 04 raptor. I like the power. the only thing i dont like is that its tipsy, its very top heavy even with +2 arms and +5 axle its still tipsy. even when im all theway to the otehr side it still goes on two wheel s on tight stuff. But other than that I love it. too bad i have to get rid of it because of issues i have on wehre to keep it. i ride XC and dezert and The YFZ fits mY style of riding better really nice handling , cornering, acceleration. but if i had the choice to just cruise it woudl be on my raptor is soo smooth. if you have a chance check out soemones bike with aftermarket suspension and youll love it even more then.

 

Your right about the shocks petedog, sorry for the bad info 78.

 

No prob rotty and thanks again petedog that site is great, i havent found the thread on the forks yet but there is alot of great stuff on there!!!

 

Sorry i mean shocks!!! LOL

 

raptor may have a big engine but you may find it a bit small.are you a big guy say 6'3 210- 230?........if so i would reinvest on your choice of a rappy, go with a ds if your that big.....

 

Here ya go... Again, just take out the two spaces (in front and in back of the blue) and you will be set.

Thank you petedog I appreciate it !!!!

 

First and foremost, don't listen to the hype about them being prone to tipping. The tires that come on them have real soft sidewalls, that causes them to feel a little mushy in the turns. From a strictly sport-quad perspective, the Raptor is king in my book. I am a bigger guy so, I like the fact that it is a little bigger than the predator. The big motor is key. There is no replacement for displacement. Good luck.
