I found a 04 raptor for for 2800 in good shape..I a new to atvs i know its a tippy atv to ride and all..But is there any way to fix that?And how much do the wight??

 

thats a good price assuming its running and has current or almost current tags. ive got the suspension droped on mine so it doesnt feel so top heavy. i think they weigh around 400 lbs or so

 

do ya'll think that power is to much for a new person on a atv...

 

For a new rider, you can definitely get yourself in trouble with the power. Regarding the tippiness, you can add wheel spacers or a-arms and axle to widen the stance out and improve stability.

Take it slow and gain experience by going out with experienced riders and plenty of seat time getting used to how the atv you chooses responds.

Good luck. That is a good price if it is not beat up.

 

I am thinking about going and looking at it..My buddy nows the guy that has it..I have heard of people turning the screw on the carb so it dosent open all the way i guess that might help i i was to get it..I been wanting to get a 400cc qaud found a few of those but just wanting to know about the raptor as well..I seen some of these 660 's sell for alot more then this and i just have been thinking this might be a steal if its in really good shape..The guy is older and took it on trade on car and it has just set in his shop..

 

Don't mess with the carb. There is a throttle adjustment screw in a small housing on the handle bars if you want to limit your speed. I would suggest just monitoring your speed and don't wrap the engine out, stay out of 4th and 5th gear until you are fully comfortable and know the trails you ride on. Third gear is plenty fast for learning.

Good luck, hope you get a good deal.

 

So u put spacers on all 4 wheels??

 

Yes, on all four wheels. Durablue makes wheel spacers that are fairly low cost. There are some billet wheel spacers that I like better than the plastic ones. I made my own for my 400ex and some LT80s I owned previously, one of the bennies of access to an NC mill. Check out on line for your choices.
