Does anyone know if i should stick with the stock frame or buy an aftermarket one??

The Raptor's frame is one of its strong points.

The Geometry and Quality are 1st rate, properly built(Engine, Suspension, A-arms, Rear Axle) it
will win with the stock frame.

A aftermarket frame would not be worth the investment.

The main reason several 250Rs run aftermarket?

Some years were built with square tubing(from what I have been told) and that design is weaker.

Great Day

Yamaha has always built a better that average frame. that would be that last thing to go or need I would think.

Just a question for you guys who have a heavily modded quad...why? Are you racers? Or do you spend grands all over the bike just because you want the baddest bike? Just curious
