yeah buddy... something's not right. and wet grass doesnt help either, but watch out if you decide to ride it down the pavement a ways. it could buck ya off!
maybe that twist throttle setup is haywire....
even a stocker should make yer butt pucker......pipe it and rejet and chg air filt... raps respond VERY nicely to this.
oh, and here we throw those radials in a corner and use holeshots or razrs. have fun! you came to the right place... there's some pretty sharp dudes here! myslef not included....

Yes, it is slow stock. The pipe will wake the Raptor up....asuming you jet it correctly. In conjunction with the pipe, a Dyno-jet kit, no lid, and a timing key will help. Next, a mild cam and more compression.

No, but I have seen snow before and its in my freezer. It like built up 2 to 3 inches thick in there.

I have my own weather patterns in there.

And for the record, turtles are slow, not Raptors.

I have rode a few stock raptors. Every time I said to myself, "man this thing is a pooch". However, when I line my piped banshee that seems quick up against the owner on their new raptor, I am surprised at how well they can keep up. I guess it is just the smooth continuous power that comes on high in the revs that fools you. Piped raptors are even closer to catching me.

What I am saying is it might seem slow, but if you line it up against another quad, you might change your mind.

You guys should know I respect you'll and only joke around when I say something about the raptors being slow (I only say that because I own the banshees), but if 87banshee wouldn't have said it, I would have. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I have actually spent a few hours seat time on the raptor, though, and am impressed with them. The banshees have had the last 15 years to perfect the engine. After you guys spend the next 15 years tweaking the raptor motor, it will probably be the drag king.
