Raptor 350
 

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out what new stuff to get for my Raptor 350.

I was looking at the ITP XC, XCR, XCT - since I mainly do fast trail riding, and am looking for the most grip in my tires. Also, there is usually mud on the trail, hence me wanting more grip. What one's would you guys suggest?

I'm also having trouble picking out a new exhaust system / pipe for it, any suggestions?

I'm looking for pretty much as much speed and performance I can get out of it ... but I'm soo confused at what to get. 3question

Any suggestions on nerf bars / grab bars and things like those either?

Thanks!

If you want Holeshots, I hear the Holeshot GNCC's are the way to go. They are 6 ply and light weight which is what you want. I run the Ohtsu 501's, like what comes factory on the 400EX and was factory on the 250R. They are VERY light weight, but only 2 ply, so you have to be careful to avoid punctures. But they hook up better than any other tire I've ever had. I had a friend that put some GNCCs on his YFZ 450, and he loved them and said they hook up very similar to the 501's.

Thanks man!

Well it's an '07, 350, with no upgrades done to it yet. I was looking at the FMF pipes, but couldn't decide what one - any tips?

Thanks guys, any other suggestions for power would be helpful.

There are other good exhausts out there, but for the money, you can't go wrong with HMF. They provide a good power increase and sound great! And they are not expensive. Just get the slip-on, not the full pipe. Also get a K&N filter, drill a few holes in your airbox lid, rejet your carb, and get a 14 tooth front sprocket and you're all set.

Do you think an '06 front sprocket will fit an '07?

Yeah, these engines have not changed a whole lot since 1987. I'm sure the sprocket will work. The older Warrior cam will not work in the new Raptor 350 engine and the carb is a little different, but I think everything else is the same.

For a Exhaust get an HMF. Slip-on. K&N Filter(clamp-on). and drill some holes. Jet accordingly. I got some Holeshot HD's that are going on tommorrow so i'll tell you how they work.

The HD's are good, but man are they heavy! I can say this about them, when we went to Hatfield/McCoy in WV I had bought a Honda 450 just to take as a spare bike for the week that had some Holeshot HDs on it. I ended up riding the 450 the whole time and I was the only one in the group that never got a flat tire. And with all the rocks up there, everybody else was plauged with flat tires!

Thanks guys, once again.


I was looking at the HD's, as well, and I was wondering how much they would actually cost. I couldn't really find anything on them. Anyone know?

One thing: how much am I going to notice these mod's I'm putting into it? Will I actually feel and notice the acceleration, or will it be only slight faster?
