Question For Batoutahell
Kind of ironic how you single out every honda quad as being trash, yet your riding a raptor...maybe you should open your eyes and **** on yourself because i dont think anybody gives a damn about what you think.
I think that makes for a better pissing contest. Question though, if rider is 90% and machine is 10%. How about i stick you on an Lt80, which is roughly 1/10 the size of a 680 raptor, and ill pilot the raptor. I think i have a pretty good idea who's going to win that one. Imback said it best, speed costs money. The rider helps to get all the performance out of a bike, but the bike is what makes the rider

We custom cut our heads for an exact compression, so we dont actually "dial" our compressions. Its just a set mark. But in reference to your question, yes they do work. What it does is raise and lower the inner dome by torquing on the big hex nut on the top. Creating greater or lesser head volume

I pretty much understand what the dial a dome system is all about what i want to know is if it is as easy as they say to just dial in your compression in " a few secs" or is it more of a pain the as!!! Thats all.

If you have a compression gauge yea its simple. Dont plan on keeping the anodizing on the top nut...its pretty tough to rotate. But yea, it works. Its a good idea, and if your a snomo guy, then yeah they be cool. They flow water pretty well also

yes speed takes more money, but that money doesn't mean shiz, unless u know how to ride...i have seen stock raptor beat piped raptors, i have seen a 686 get beat by a piped raptor....the machine DOES NOT MAKE THE RIDE....THE RIDER MAKES THE MACHINE...
slap some every day joe on a raptor and i bet u 100 bucks i will beat him w/ a 400ex. when the raptor should beat the 400 every single time they race! period!
