so im thinking of bitting on the new raptor 700 se, or a 660? i have the money for it, i just dont know im not going to race just trail riding, so would a raptor 700 be a good choice. or just bit on a 660? let me know

 

700

 

The 700 is a better machine, fuel injected and the power band is a lot smoother, not as hard of a hit on the bottom end so your not standing up without trying to all the time.

 

the 700 is a better machine however some people have been saying they are having great difficulties with starting in cold weather. It seems to be the fuel injection that is the prob. I will never buy a first generation machine.

 

I have had the 700R since august of 05 and it got plenty cold here in the great Northwest last winter and I have yet to have a starting problem. Most of the cold start problems are self inflicted by folks who unconciously (sp) give it throttle when starting and foul the plug.

 

Thats after they crank away from 10 minutes and it doesnt start. Lol. Most people know not to hit the gas when they start their quad.

 

thanks alot.

 

youd be surprised to see people over here not hit the gas when they start their quad. i tell them not to and they still do. i cant wait to see a numb nuts blow his motor.

 

I started mine up this weekend and it was 15deg. 2 cranks and it started right up. There is no starting problem with mine! DON'T touch the gas when starting the bad boys, thats when you get the fouling and hard start etc. NEVER had a problem with my 1st year raptor starting.

The cold starting problems are with the fuel injected 700 grizzly not the raptor!
