I have to admit,today I was riding my raptor and I pulled in front of guy with a DS I was moving!And then....He blew by me!...And then he climbed a big hill easier than me...

 

what d!cky dave left out was that the kid blew by me as soon as I LET OFF THE GAS and that THE KID WEIGHED about 100lbs less.

This weekend his bomajunker ds650 cracked the swingarm on a simple ride over railroad tracks, that a raptor has NO problem going over, did I mention that another fella with a bombajunker already blew the motor when the timing chain jumped???

 

hahaha Ds650's are the biggest piles of crap out there. How much do they cost like 7,000??? hahahaha. Thats the biggest rip i ever heard. And for the ds being slow and heavy. It is!! Ds dave you have nothing to say against even a yamaha badger because u ride a POS Ds650. Go back to you own *** forum with ur butt buddies. Have Fun!!! haha

 

It is not legall for a dealer to keep your deposit it is against the law! I know this for a fact so you can get your money back from any quad/bike deposit no question dealers just try and say that you cant because some people dont know any better!
AS for the raptor I havent had any of these problemd and I run my quad real hard just as hard as my MX 01 kx250 and the raptor hasnt had any problems!

 

Alaskatrx,

I've had mine for while now and i ride almost every weekend and some during the week. i like the raptor alot it handles great. as for as problems the only thing thats happend to mine was the carbs blew off. but the dealer put them back on and tightend them up and did my first sevice at no charge. as far as the tranny no problems. and the skid plates are a must. but i think what ever you buy the 660R or the DS650 they are both bad a$$ machines. the reverse on the raptor is what sold me. but i dont think you can go wrong with either one.
