Yamaha Discussions about Yamaha ATVs.

Are these SPEED RESULTS good compared to the Raptor and Banshee?

Slasher,

Yes, I have been to the MX track as an observer. I have not been to any other MX tracks, so I can't judge its quality. However, one of the guys I was talking to at the track said it was very rough. They have practice days every Sat and Sun and usually a race one weekend a month. I believe they are having another race day this weekend to make up for a rain day.

Let me know when you go and I'll try to meet you...

Charles_Banshee,

GREAT!!! As soon as I start talking about going w/ a big bore on the R, you turn around and add one to the Banshee!

This is what I went with (a link w/ a picture is under each item):

REAR TIRES & WHEELS
20x10x10 Skat Trak Edge 8 Paddle

FRONT
21x7x10 Skat Trak Mohawk

I will probably order the nobbies any day. I think I will just replace the Hoosiers and put them on the wheels I have now. I don't see much need in buying 'pretty' wheels if they're going to be ridden on dirty/muddy trails. Also, the more I spend on the R now, the less I'll have for the Prairie 650 V-Twin.

I think I'll wait until I NEED engine work done and then I'll send it to LRD. They said a 350 stroker motor w/ a power valve would run around $3,800 (that's with 62 HP at the rear wheels). I'm not ready to spend that much right now.

Are you up for another trip to Little Sahara? Some of the wheels are on back-order, so it'll probably be a few weeks before I have them.
