Looking into the Raptor
#23
Im not sure why all of the problems.Ive had no problems at all with axels,a arms or motor problems and I also swamped mine over the seat with water(See my Im such a Dumbass post)and drove it back 7 miles with half water and half oil in the crankcase.She still runs strong as a bull on steroidsI love the Raptor and for all of you guys having problems I feel for ya,but for me no problems yet and would tell this fellow with the 400ex to sell,sell,sell as I did.

I have had my raptor for 3 weeks now and it has been out 5 times. In mud, dust and even through engine high water. NO problems yet and I check the air box every time I am done riding. NOthing has gotten in there to date. The chain stays tight(other than the break in stretch). I did dent one arm on the bottom from catching a stump when coming down a fast hill. It is NOT bent and works fine for now. I am not defending the bike either trust me if I thought it was a pos I'd be the first to unload it. I can't believe how many people can't ride for ten minutes without bending an axle. Sunday I was jumping a 4 ft hight table top just to see if anything will break while under wty still. I got at the most 5ft of air landing pretty hard several times and took and rode it on the street where I can feel everything and its fine. maybe I'm just lucky? who knows
bottom line is I got and I ride it its fine

Well, my experience thus far with the Raptor has been exceptional. It has been able to handle all I have thrown at it, including jumps and rough terrain. I have not had problems with the axles or suspension in general, in fact, I am a 260lb rider so my jumps should put stress on it. I have taken the bike out a few times now and did some serious hill climbing and dune running, no problems whatsoever.
Anyway, just thought I would throw in my 2 cents. Dont be afraid to get a Raptor, I am sure the problems you are hearing about are the exception and not the rule.
