any of yall who own raptors 660 do yall got any regrets. im gonna get one this month and ive researched them pretty good but i was just wondering if yall have any regrets. if you dont own one u dont have to tell me what u think about them im just wanting to hear from people who really own them. thanks

 

I got an 05 about 7 months ago. I love the torque they have! I have a couple of things I dont like about the raptor. First off I do not like the front suspension for the kind of riding I do, it is fine on the dunes but in the whoops it throughs you around too much. I am getting some yzf front shocks to fix that problem $200 to $250 for the shocks. Second They are very tippy, I widened mine out more to make it more stable and now I dont have a problem with it, other than that they are a good machine in my opinion.

 

Yeah i also have an 05 Raptor and it is a great bike man. The torque is sick and overall power is great too. The only prob i have is the bike is a bit tipsy as rotty 150 stated but its not that bad. Depending on what you are gonna use it for, you should be happy with it.

 

rotty 150, will the YFZ factory front shocks fit the Raptor without modifying it???

 

Ya, they will bolt right up.

 

I have an '03, and I wouldn't have anything else. as for the tippyness, I do not have a problem with it. We ride all kinds of styles here. I do have a set of lowering blocks I use on flat tracks, and then I always make changes to the suspension. You won't be dissapointed with the Raptor.

 

RAPTOR......The only way to FLY.Unlimited potential and rides smooth to boot.

 

actually there is a littl modding needed but its not bad. They wont just bolt right up though.

You have to grind off about 1/4" on the top mounts and also cut out about 3/4 to 1" "U" shape out of the bottom mopunt to avoid it hitting. Not too difficult, I have done it. Took about an hour total to do the swap.

I tried to post a link over to B T but I guess its "FORBIDDEN" on this site........WTF??? I guess you'll have to find it yourself over there in the 660 section. There are step by step pictured instructions that will make it real easy to follow....

 

thanks for all the quick replys , raptor it is

 

Thanks petedog i will check it out!!!
