I bought my raptor brand new at the end of the season as a leftover. It was great in the beginning but after a couple of years it sat w/fuel in the carbs and i have never been able to get it to run right since. It has every single gytr add on they made then,and has been sitting around for about 15yrs now. It is absolutely mint. I'd love to have the dealer fix it right and sell it. At the time i bought it, it was on the showroom floor next to the Banshee so i had my pick. Man,did i screw that one up😖😖😖

Ha! Time has a way of showing us those things huh? I'll tell you what though, you get a professional shop to rebuild those carbs of yours and you might fall back in love.

Get a dynojet jet kit with the aftermarket needles and throw the air box lid is the dumpster if it hasn't already been done. Really wakes it up. That and a Curtis sparks exhaust and you go from about 35 hp to almost 50hp.
@SouthwestORV3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the tips! I have a new full HMF exhaust, and an HMF jet kit just waiting to go on it. I've seen that those hp numbers you're referencing are definitely achievable. It's amazing to me that they can produce so much more power with simple mods.
@kdcustoms12723 жыл бұрын
@@SouthwestORV yeah it's really because the air box is just so restrictive. Doe's the HMF jet kit come with aftermarket needles? I believe you really need them if you remove the lid. I also forgot to mention I have a pro flow kit on mine, the stock filter is held in place with the air box lid so with the pro flow kit you bolt it to the air box so you can mount the filter using clamps, you could just cut a big section out the middle of the lid so it is still held in place with out the pro flow kit.
@SouthwestORV3 жыл бұрын
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of how Yamaha has the lid hold the filter in place - doesn't look like it was working well on mine. The Pro Flow kit looks much much better.

Broke my wrist and tore my knee all to Hell, I got lucky I didnt break my neck it twisted my helmet on my head. Bent frame hubs spindles Ripped the balljoints out the a arms and wrapped the rims around the lug nuts. 😆 I did get it all fixed. Be careful haha

@SouthwestORV3 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure yet! It was geared so tall that I was too chicken to find out. Top of third felt like top speed on my Recon. I have actually geared down the front sprocket one tooth now, so the top speed will be a tad slower.
@kdcustoms12723 жыл бұрын
stock is right around 73-75 mph.. They have a speed limiter that cuts timing once the output shaft hits a certain rpm. They can actually go a bit faster by just removing the air box lid (need adapter to mount the filter without a lid, or just cut out most of the lid) and re-jetting the carbs and modifying the speed limiter sensor gear. You have to remove the clutch to get to it.
