I’ve had my Raptor for 3 weeks now and already I’ve bent the gear shift under the motor, bent the left tie rod out into left field and I bent right axel ¾ inch out of true. All on separate occasions. I don’t consider my self a radical rider. In fact I can’t recall anything on those rides that would have resulted in the bending of my gear. I’ve had my ’85 Honda 125m 3 wheeler for 16 years and it’s been bullet proof. I’m a little concerned about the integrity of my Raptor. Is anyone else experiencing problems?

(ie. – I still love it. I’ve been smoking 400EXs left and right…)

 

i havent had any problem yet but then again i just got my raptor last night and well the people i know that has raptors they havent told me of any problems either

 

I Havent had any problems, but others have. sounds to me like your a wee bit rough on it to bend a shifter and all. Are you riding trails or trying to Clear new ones with your front end. Maybe if its that rough you should downgrade to a 4x4.

 

I haven't had any problems. It runs great.

No probs yet, this thing runs great. Last night would have been a good test to see how it was gonna hold up, and it did. I took it out to a local riding area with jumps and what have you. I am 6'3" and weigh over 200 lbs. I didn't have any problems at all.

 

I came around a corner in a sand wash and hit the rear brake rotor on a rock. The rotor went through the plastic skid and it now looks like a piece of angle iron. New one is $150.

 

no problems here.
got it 09-19-00.
hope everything works out for you.
good luck.

 

Hi all,

No problems here. Got mine in the first Sept. shipment from my dealer. Jumps very nice. All is holding up to the beating I give it.

Ps. I havent been to these forums much since getting mine, and believe it or not...still the same old Sh-t goin on. Lol. No wonder I left for a month..and leavin again too. Too much BS and false info in here.

Later all..
