I'm about 6'4" 250 at age 15, I want to know if any one who is about my size that rides the Raptor, does it have a good feel? And how well does it jumps with you?
would I be better of with a DS?
The raptor fells perfect for me and it is exactly "built" for my needs.
thanks

I am 6'2" and 320 and it works perfect for me. I probably should get some new shocks to better fit my weight, but so far not problems. It works perfectly.

I love it and can't think of anything that I would like better.

Hope that helps
Paul

Went out to the garage for a first hand look at the 660r. The label on the left hand side with tire pressure information says max. load 220 pounds. Will Yamaha not guarantee its product if it is loaded over the maximum weight limits? Chet

that's the tires max load.
you have 4 tires
220*4=880 lbs max
i dont know how much the raptor weighs but subtract that from 880 and then you have the max weight that you can be.

In you manual it should say the max weight for rider/gear.
It said in my Wolvy book.
