If it weren't for the shaft drive, I've vote for a V-Max motor. Anything bigger than 600cc should put you over 100rwhp on pump gas. I wouldn't run an air cooled engine if I could help it.

Great job at FSW, your HP numbers are an inspiration. After I get my 03 Raptor's suspension up to par, I'll be in touch:-)

Great idea 14mins!!!

and an excellent choice ernie! but the FJ may be alittle heavy for the Raptor frame,and hard to come by. I would say do it right and put an R1 motor in it! 150 HP, AND ALOT LIGHTER. but probably alittle more money.

I might still have a line on an R1 motor that me and a few of my friends were talking about putting in my raptor. $1000.

The Fuel injected R1 Motor would be a great choice! But if you want to put the wife and kids to bed and go hunting for dinner I would go with the Hayabusa motor![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I agree ernie, but were talking about a guy that bought a Brand new quad at FSW's because he heard that people were saying that he broke his tranny on purpose!

14mins, is NOT your average bear.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

What ever you do stay with Yamaha. I don't like to see a conversions with mix-match manufactures parts. JMO.

14mins if you want to install it without a LOT of frame modds,mostly on the upper tubes,make shure you get a motor that DOESNT have downdraft carbs,unless you want your gas tank to look like a crotch rocket.if its injected you may run into the same thing?the carbs will be wider then the upper tubes and cause a lot of greif.i would say any std carb motor should fit without much trouble,
