Well, i can tell you that i can wheelie without helping the bike at all in 3rd gear, 4th gear all you have to do is lean back a little. I have the e-series slip on, the dynojet kit and the k&n filter.


Compared to a raptor, a 400ex feels downright lethargic. It is very strange going from one to the other. You hit the gas on the 400 ex and it feels like nothing happens. The raptor wheelies MUCH easier than the 400ex.

 

Hey Elwood whats up? I have trouble with the balance point also very hard for me to find. Big Gun exhuast K&N no lid

 

Hey banshee brad how did ya add 4.5 inches to you swing arm on a raptor???

when i had a tranny.... I could just lean back on my raptor in 4th gear, and just lay on the throttle, then, i can shift up to 5th easily.

 

I would like to set the record straight after my previous post. I just got done riding and the raptor pulls a wheelie easily in 3rd and in 4th with a good tug at the bars. I guess I just never payed attention to what gear I was in. Sorry for my ignorant post.

i love climbing hills with the raptor, i would only do it in 2nd gear. in 1st you have to much torque, and if you hit a rock and grab some traction you will flip right over

 

The question should be how ard s it to keep the front end down!
I've wheelied mine in 4th hitting the gas I gues I was to far back on the seat.
Still trying to break it in.
I felt it get some more power from when e picked her up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] .

As for hills I havn't had a problem but I havn't gone u anything big yet and they are sand so the tires probly spin.

 

I'm definately going to be adding at least a +2 swingarm and a +2 axle. I'll revise me opinions then, but for now it's definately tippy and flippy (lol). I've done both on mine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
