Took me awhile to reply-- sorry all. Alls I can say is I LOVE this machine!!!! Ive been cruisin it through the feilds everyday since I got it, but Saturday and Sunday were the reall test. Took it out to the dunes - wow. Even with all the stuff ive done to the raptor it doesnt compare to the yfz. This thing flies, I can easily cruise a gear faster, hit jumps harder and I'm less beat up. I love it! Hey I could pull 4th with nobbies up our sand mountain, with the raptor only third with paddles n my other mods! Hey TRXoutlawz Ill be there the weekend of the 7th.

 

cool congrats

 

I have the same question as Big Ranger? I'm debating on both, but i'm leaning toward fuel injection, but the YFZ looks like they got the bugs out finally.

 

I chose the YFZ because I already have a Raptor 660 and although its a great bike its not really the best for jumpin or mx style stuff. Plus I got a buddy with an 01 Rappy- 686 kit, new tranny, full Yoshi exhaust and EFI that he put on and I can take him on my Rappy so the FI wasnt really to tempting to me. I wanted somethin I can ride harder and its noticeably lighter.

 

In my name and in the name of everyone who you know and you do not know, we charles junior the twenty seventh of phonex, congratulate you for your new quad.


By the way, how is it compared to the shee.

Safe ride...

 

So if I were to really get into jumping a lot would there be a big difference between the yfz and the 700. Im leaning toward the 700 because it is said to be the fastest stock quad and it has reverse but I dont want to get it and it be to heavy for catching big airs.

 

I wouldnt say you cant go big with the Raptor but its just not as well equipped as the yfz, and the weight does make a difference atleast to me.

 

Did you re-jet it yet? It really wakes them up. They come through really lean from factory, some say on purpose to get them through emissions. My brother and a friend both have yfz's and they noticed a huge differance. The combonation of the factory lean condition and the titanium pipe (It's a lot thinner than steel, but just as strong.) really put put some heat. I rode my brother's before he jetted it and I was wearing shorts. Man was that hot on my leg!!! I had to keep my right foot to the outside edge of the footpeg.
But all in all definetely an awesome quad.

 

At this altitude they are not lean.

 

I was wondering about that, at idle my header glows bright red. No I havent rejetted Ill wait for my pro design filter kit.
