The Predator is stone stock except for the Pure Polaris slip-on and gearing changes. With Sand Skate II's and a good rider, DS650's, Z-400's, 400ex's, and even the "almighty" Raptor fell victim to the Predator. A couple of modified Raptor's could hang with the Predator, but not pass it up.

I've seen several races now between Predators vs Raptors and Predators vs DS650's. A stock Predator comes with a high comprssion piston and a performance cam from the factory. That alone allows it to stay close to the stock DS and Raptors.

You speak of pipe and gearing changes, we are no longer talking about a stock machine here, what was close might push the Predator over the top in the races against the stock bikes. Now put in similar mods ie high comp piston, performance cam, pipes and gearing changes etc and this is the result that you get. I didn't get any videos of my Raptor eating the Predator but the mods are similar between my quad and the one destroying this predator (except the DS had no performance cams) the outcome would be the same.

Windows media player required to view the files. Right click on the link and choose save as to download to your computer and view over and over. These videos were from 4SW's 2. The same day of the races.

zillarider02- 2strokes are welcome in the trailer park. We have plenty of pesky banshees that need a schooling every now and then. The big event this year is going to be on the 29th of June

Thanks for all your help, after about 6 months of debating, today I bought a 2003 Raptor LE with RED flames. I probably won't be able to bring it home until next week as it is still in the crate at the dealership, but they ldid et me take a peek and it looks sharp!
