By every thing I read on various posts a piped and jetted Raptor can now only hang with a 400EX. What are people thinking?![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Thats crazy, a stock Raptor woops up on 400EX's, a piped and jetted one would eat them whole, except maybe in the trails or on an mx track.

Wow!!! I haven't had my Raptor for very long, but I have had opportunity to drag with a piped and jetted/K&M'ed 400ex. I didn't even come close to giving it everything since my Raptor isn't even broke in yet, and I was thinking he had mechanical failure since he fell back so fast!!!





400ex HaHaHa

I had a 440ex with all the bells and whistles a drag(far more mods than my piped and jetted 01), I walked away from him as soon as I hit 2nd. He had to 50lbs littler than me. I will say the Yosh pipe make that ex "sound" fast [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I ran across a couple of brothers at Little Sahara a couple of weeks ago that had 400exs and there was not a Raptor there that could stay with them dragging. A friend has a very modified and fast Banshee and he didn't stay with them very well either.

Either my Raptor is unaturaly fast or all the cannondales and 440ex,s I have ever run across are unaturaly slow but I have never been left by a one! Just must be LUCKY I guess.
