Thanks for the info. Could you tell us where you bought your renthal 12 tooth from? Does it make a big differance and is it worth doing? I am courious. Thanks

 

I just bought a Renthal 12t sprocket and put it on tonight, rode it in the alley for a while and what little I rode so far it is deffinately worth the $25 (little expencive but worth it). It rides so much better in 1st and 2nd. These things should have 12t stock. This is a MUST, the $15-25 is worth it!!

 

Where did you get the Renthal sprocket? Does the clueless Yamaha dealership carry them?

 

order it direct from renthal as I did.There phone # is 1-877-renthal.They dont post thier # on their websight.Pretty dumb if you ask me.But it is true about the sprocket speacilist 12 tooth.There is a definate quality dererence between the 2.Man my spelling SUCKS !!!!

 

The 12 tooth renthal sprocket is definetly a quality piece,worth the 26 dollars. 1-877-renthal.Routing the breather tube would not help, its still exposed to dirty air,it needs a filter.Here is a quick fix....i used a small piece of a dust mask cut to fit over the plastic nipple where the hose goes on.Just slip the cloth over the nipple then the hose over both.

 

I don't seem to understand why you guys are gearing down on the Raptor? I just got mine yesterday, I don't see any probs. I have a 00' 400ex and it seems to be geared too high if anything. I can be in 1st gear, (on the Raptor), let off the clutch, crawl only at idle speed, give it gas, and the thing takes off like a rocket. I don't know, it just doesn't seem to be bad at all. And it doesn't have a problem going into 2nd either. I do woods and trail riding. Also, I took out the baffle a little bit ago, and what a difference! Way loud! I love it! It seems to be more crisp and responsive. Try it, you'll like it!

 

joey its mike..if u could i would appreciate the web address for that bumper that u have on the front..or a part number and a phone number thanks man!!!!

 

theox.....Dont let that piece you put in get plugged up with dirt. It will have negative effects on your oil seals from pressure. Check it often.
