OK here is the deal, I own an '87 435 Warrior. If you do the math you can tell how long I have been riding for, and have done some minor mods to my ride. I have been looking at the new Raptors. I live in CT and do a lot of trail riding (thats about all there is to do here!) I don't plan on doing any racing, just weekend warrior stuff. I would probably keep it stock for a while. I don't know much about this quad, and was looking for problems people have had, and comparisons to other quads (DS660, 400EX, etc, no 2 strokes please) and the problems with them.
