07 Wolverine 450 se ----> 07 raptor 700 se
 

About half a year ago i got a 07 wolverine 450 se which is great. The only thing that worries me is the lack of power and top speed so i am thinking about getting a 07 raptor 700 se which is more powerful. I was wondering if anyone could answer these questions about the raptor.
1) Because i am new to driving atv's, i dont know how to change gear with a clutch on a raptor, can someone briefly explain how?
2) Does the chain break often and is it a hassle to change?
3) What speed does it top out at.
4) Would you say that the raptor would beet a kfx700 in a drag race?

do you mean how to run the clutch or the shifting pattern??

how to run the clutch

have you ever rode a dirt bike or a street bike?

It is not something that is real easy to explain on a forum, It is much easier in person.

but let the clutch out slowly while easing on the gas, pull the clutch in every time you shift.

so you are new to ATV's and no idea how to shift,yet one of your top four worries is can it beat kfx in a drag race??I hope you have good medical insurance there,sounds to me you are going to need it..

Chain shouldn't really ever break. If you break a chain you are going to probably have other big problems as well.

Top speed should be about 75mph I think there's a post on this forum discussing just this topic
