to get a woder stance....

I did this to my wife's 250EX, it worked great

 

Did you get the Raptor yet?

 

Raptor wheels are the same as warrior wheels,,I reversed them on my 01 warrior,, Drilled out new holes for the valve stem and pluugged the old ones by installing a valve stem backwards..The rears U just turn around...Made it about 48 1/2 in wide with my Bandits on front and dirt devils on rear,,,also handled way better[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Mine are flipped and I installed Mr Gasket "flush mount" valve stems, Part #5102 (about $17). Saves you from having to drill 2 more holes in your wheels and also allows you to flip them back without having to change anything.

 

Mine are flipped around and I love it. The only problem I have, which might not be related, are tie rods bending and breaking. You should add a steering stabilizer it makes the bars jerk wourse. I am going to leave them like this until I can get some a-arms.

 

Go to ricky stator .c__ they have tie rod update kits for yamaha,,,are 10 times stronger with lifetime warranty ! ,,solid honda utility type ends..I was breaking and bending stock ones every time I rode,,,These are kickasss... I rode hard , jumping ,and had one of the updated oned loosen up a bit and Ricky stator replaced the entire set for nothing !!No questions asked..

 

Agree! The stock rods and ends are a week link on the Raptor. If you ride your bike hard, you will need the Ricky Stator tie rod kit. This should be an automatic purchase if you do a rim flip. There is an extra ordinary amount of pressure placed on the tie rods and ends when the front end is widened in this manner.
