Raptor 700 build! Long travel, Houser +2.25”, RP Race exhaust, Stage 3 hotcam!

[@raptorider83]

That was my understanding. It reduces bump steer from what I have been told which I don't really have to worry about too much i have a precision steering elite . i'm setting up my raptor for cross country. I appreciate your response and enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for your help and advice, When everything is complete. I'll shoot you a vid of it on the ground all ready to run.

Yessir, I have 4 videos I need to go through and edit. looking forward to posting more.

You put the "Cuervo" map for single exhaust and Stage3 Hotcams no? Where i can search thar file? Or another files? I have only a exhaust (stock air intake and camshaft)... Thnks!! Amazing machine!!

[@limitlesspowersports]

Thank you! I would suggesting getting the FCI intake, then emailing Daniel at [e-mail] to purchase the Dyno tune file

[@travissanders]

who did the tune for you? what kind of hp and tq numbers are you expecting for this? ive done a big 3 to my bike and its crazy how much it changes it, for the better. i considered going with a cam and a bigger TB but i dont want to ruin my machine for trail riding. where its at currently im riding mid to top of 2nd on most of our trails and its perfect!

[@limitlesspowersports]

I got the file for this one from Cuervo Racing. Highly recommended. Throttle response is spot on and power is there. No need to take this one to the Dyno. If you get used to the big 3 power the stage 3 cam on the Raptor has almost no bottom end loss. It gives you 3,000 rpm of useable power. If you look at the stock cam it stops making power around 6,000 rpm so you may as well shift to get back into the power range. With stage 3 it pulls all the way to redline.

[@boosted_gxp]

Is there anyway you can make a video on how you did the alignment? I added arms on my 700 and there slicks now and I mostly do wheelies lol

Thanks 😎 black canister with the color logo that RP was able to work in for me. In the end it really pulled off the subtle theme. This is the full length canister so the tone is deep vs being more raspy sound. I would recommend it to anyone. The power is there 🤘

@@poorwhiteboy6521 I would say 3/4 of an inch but I also did the Rocket Ron revalved rear shock at the same time. I would highly suggest getting with Rocket Ron. He can also help you with the Hess link

[@JBGOTTEM]

i have a couple questions. Whenever you put the new cam , exhaust and tuner . How does it run for long distance? Will it run hot eventually?

[@limitlesspowersports]

I put engine ice in it just because I had it on the shelf. With the right tune I would guess it runs cooler than stock. I don’t have a coolant temp gauge on it

[@poorwhiteboy6521]

Hey I just got set of the houser +2 a arms. What did you finally set them to ? You said you had them at -2 I'm going to sand dunes what a good starting point. And the hess linkage lowered your rear one inch correct ? Did you leave the front stack ride height or did you adjust your springs down ?

[@limitlesspowersports]

For now I left the raptor with the ball joints rotated forward. I have not had time take it back to the trail to test ride yet. Yes it has the Hess linkage in the rear. Rocket Ron built the shocks for this set up. I set the ride height to his suggestion. 8’ front 7.5’ rear

[@raptorider83]

What offset front tires are you running? I just ordered 4+1 dwt A5 also running same A arms, but now watching the video again I'm wondering if I should have ordered 3+2 ?? I've got the Lsr axcalibar +1+4 axle and I'll be using oe rear hubs, and 3+5 rear 9x8 wheel, but without having the 4+1 in hand im curious if I'll be able to match the rear width with the front or be within a ½in or ¼in ... do you have any insight on this if I'll be able to match the width front and rear or do I need to order 3+2 offsets. I can't be wider than 50in due to going behind gates were we ride id like to be 47½ 48in.. thanks man

[@limitlesspowersports]

I can only speak for 4x1 front, 9x8 rear with yfz hubs. It’s ok for the rear to be a little more narrow than the front

[@raptorider83]

Oh those are 4+1? If so im good. Appreciate your response bud..

How hard is it to do a cam swap on these vs a trx450r? I been out of the game for ~10 years but now i have a 22 raptor and want to do it up. Thanks for making the video! Also, are you anywhere close to middle TN in case i decide to pay someone else to do the work?

[@limitlesspowersports]

Not to bad on the stage 3 cam install. Leave the auto decomp in until you pull the cam out. That would have saved me 15 mins messing with it. Raptor uses tappet valves I would say they are easier than shim under bucket. I’m in Woodstock GA. Just hit me up on instagram

[@poorwhiteboy6521]

How much lower was the rear with the new shock linkage wish bone ? How much $ what brand id like to get one

[@limitlesspowersports]

Rear I would say is 3/4 lower with Hess linkage but also you need to work closely with your shock guy to make sure the set up is spot on. I went with Rocket Ron & told him this is a weekend fun XC - sand machine set up for 165#. Fully set up this Raptor is wider than yfz 450r and the ride height is almost even. Rocket Ron is a Hess dealer! Grab the Hess link from him

[@limitlesspowersports]

You got it. New bike checks is actually a good video idea 👍 Grease a-arms, rear linkage, if you want to dig into the bike the dealer never adds grease to the upper steering stem. R vs SE is just the color. Gytr parts I like the metal heal guards, I would call the front bumper an upgrade. Shock difference is 700 vs 700 r /r se. The fronts on the R are piggy back & fully adjustable low, high compression, rebound. 700 has no piggy back. The rear on the 700 is high compression and rebound adjustable. 700r got the low speed compression adjustment as well as a black body. As far as upgrades. Enjoy it! Keep up with maintenance is best mod you can do. I have a Raptor maintenance video in the making. First mod? Maybe tires I use GBC. Adjust factory suspension for your weight, precision steering damper. As far as the flex bars they do help, precision racing sells flex clamps that are pretty popular as well.
