It looks good x250rDude!

I just got the heal guards and Yamaha front bumper on mine. You're going to love the bumper, it looks awesome on there.

Hi Bash,

The bumper is very nice. I like the high polished look. I'm still waiting for my heel guards to come in. Hopefully this week.

May I ask why you took the 'Raptor' stickers of the rear fender. Was it because of that Up-the-hill sideways trick? Or didn't you like it.

Way cool looking graphics, I plan on getting them myself. My raptor is bone stock..at least for the time being. I have big plans for mine. I plan on getting it ready for MX racing. I'll probably end up spending somewhere around $3000 on all the goodies that I need...that's a lick after spending $6400 on the quad, but it'll be worth it in the end. Ride on!!!

Sorry for the delay but I just got back from Florida.The rear skid plate I did not have to shim at all and fit perfectly with the 42 tooth rear sprocket but you loose a lot of topend using the combo of a 12 tooth front and a 42 tooth rear.I would try the 12 tooth first and that will probably do the trick.I put the rear on because at the time I was running 22 inch itp spider track tires and needed more low end.
As for the nerf bars I did have to cut the prm bottom skid plate in order to get them to fit correctly.You will also have to cut the aftermarket yamaha bottom skid plate as well if you are running one of them.Its a very time consuming job also,but If you take your time and not rush it it will come out awsome.
For the last question the reason the stickers are not on the rear fender is because I blew them off with the pressure washer.Oh well nothing you can do about it.One last note if you are planning on putting on the aftermarket yamaha graffix be very careful with the tank decals.Start at the bottom and work your way to the top right and then to the front part using only your hand as a squeegee and a heat gun.They are a bitch to put on without creasing and getting air bubbles in.It sucks to buy 2 kits like I did at 100 bucks or more a kit Hope this helps out guys and gals and RIDE HARD and SAFE!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info x250rdude! I have a 11 countershaft front sprocket and a 40 stock rear and yes it did take away alot of top end but who needs to go 70+ it made a huge difference still I cant pull alot of real steep hills in 2nd so I was going to try a 11front and 42 rear I know I wont have any top end but I wanna be able to climb real steep hills in 2nd not just average hill I'm talking near vertical long hills all me buddies have 250r's and they have been getting on me pretty bad there idiots they climb vertical hills those R's are hill climbing machines they'll sit on any hill theyre wide and low but anyways I am going to gear mine down even more so I'll let you know how it goes. Also what exhaust are you leaning towards and why that exhaust?
Thanks!

I guess the same time that they started making the Blue Yamaha ones. I haven't received them.

I just got my PRM swing-arm skid plate. It's very nice and looks sturdy.
