I wish I could find a quad with more torque than a raptor.

Im looking for something that will accually rip your arms from the sockets.

no seriously,
I have owen my raptor over a year now.
Im kind of getting sick of racing around on my raptor. I can run almost 3 times the amount of laps on a 440ex or moto440 than my raptor, because of the torque on this quad. It gets to the point where I have to stop because I cant hold on any more. I am in pretty good shape. And Im talking about running this quad to its mechanical max.

Now, is there any thing I can do to "tame the torque" but keep H.P. or possibly gain H.P.
I want less torque.

So If any one can give me advise on this I thank you in advance.
I like my quad and dont think Im going to sell, but it may come to that for a c-dale.

No bashing and saying "I dont get tired you must be weak" because If you dont get the worst arm pump you have ever had in your life, then there is two reasons ,

ONE, you dont MX, or XC

TWO, if you do MX or XC ----- YOUR SLOW

 

Run some bald tires. You could regear it, i.e. smaller rear sproket.

 

Yes, you could do that.

 

When I was setting up my raptor I drilled one to many holes in my air box lid and lost all the bottom end but it totally ripped on top. Sprockets.

 

Go to a fourteen tooth front sproket!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Run the most wide-open pipe you can find. Preferably the one with the largest diameter and longest header. Like on cars (I have a '71 Z-28) a larger diameter and/or longer header tube cuts backpressure. This increases top end and decreases low-end torque. The opposite is also true - a smaller or shorter header and more restrictive exhaust will boost low-end torque and cut the top-end power.

The exhausts with the longest pipes before the two join are the DMC Alien and the Duncan Fat Boy 4. The pipes don't come together until they reach the muffler cannister. I don't know which ones have the largest pipe diameter. Good luck.

Or like the others said you could get tires with less traction so that you can spin them all day long like a Banshee!

Gear up in front and add a lot more cam...this will take away some of the lo-mid torque, but the power will still be there on top (probably more where your rap currently signs off)....this will alter your power curve more similar too your competition. Get a gripper seat cover too..this will keep you up on the tank and you won't have too hang on so hard.
Surely you are not running stock tires (as your pics represent)....and where is the steering stabilizer? It's a must......slows down the twitchy front end at very high speed and helps keep your stanima up.
