Probably none. But its better than everyother quad out there at somthing. Thus making it the best quad to do everything with. Its just not the best quad in any one catagory. Except maybe Dunes, Trails, Desert riding. But thats just my opinion. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Tell your friend that the raptor SUCKS, they will hate it and they should get a 400ex or z400! That's what I tell my friends, sometimes I'm just too devious [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I have been doing that already[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I have been pushing my buddy to buying the z400. I know I can out ride him, so the handling isnt a big deal. This way I will have a little power advantage[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

This may sound like a dumb qusetion[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img], but can you adjust timing on a raptor? (I am a street bike guy)what are all the cheap mods that work the best?

air filter??
have gyt-r slip on
have jets
timing??


I heard one person say they have a governer(limiter) on them?(this sounds like a farse) what is the most reliable mods after the things i listed above?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

The best, and cheapest thing to do w/ any stock quad is to LET IT BREATHE! All stockers are so friggin choked up it isn't even funny. Raptor's and all quads have a limiter. I think the Raptors limit is 9300 RPM's or something like that.

Raptoryfm660r, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering, why do you have a link to the Ronald Regan Ballistic Missile Defense test site in your signature? Is it supposed to be a joke? Cause I don't really get it. No harm meant, just wondering.

This is the only treaty-approved launch site from which the United States can test, due to extended flight distances, &quot;operational&quot; Strategic ABM interceptor missiles at ranges over 1100 km.

I enjoy my Raptor for everything I do with it. Dunes, woods &amp; Drags.
