SykoQuadRider,

Do you have the phone number of Mags Racing? I live near KC, MO. I would be interested in talking to them about the same setup.

Later,
Dan

 

Ianpraire650,

Don't listen to your dealer, he isn't accurate with his information. The top-end of the Raptor (and Grizzly 660, for that matter) has been used for a number of years in the European market in streetbikes. These versions of the 660 are less restricted than the ATV and produce around ~60hp stock. The only confirmed engine problem with the Raptor is a weak transmission in the early 2001 models. The 2002 Raptors have a stronger tranny design and better gear ratios (and also a different rear shock, lighter linkage system, and stronger rear axle).

Both the current Raptor and DR-Z should be reliable, yet the Raptor definately has more performance potential engine-wise (no replacement for displacement).

Hope that helps...

 

Mags phone number is 573-581-7181....Matt or Travis will take care of you.
