Yamaha Raptor 700R First Ride

My cousin just bought a 2008 Yamaha Raptor 700R. He stores it right around the block so I rode over one evening and took it for a test spin.

[@Zodliness]

I acquired a Yamaha Raptor 700r a couple of days ago. It's a beast of a quad in any language. Mine has a widened wheel base for stability and road racing tyres. I can't help but notice that if you were giving it 100% throttle, it sounded to me like the 'rev limiter' screw on the throttle control assembly, was set well below 100%. New riders to the Raptor can experience a less beast-like response, just by winding the screw down some more. Reverse gear is a bitch, but think of it like this. Reverse sits below first gear physically, but is prevented access by an electro-mechanical gate mechanism. When placed in first gear with clutch in, the gate (when activated) opens to allow you to simply kick one gear down past the gate. You have to be in first gear ready to move one down into reverse. If you're in neutral, you will effectively kick it down to first and not reverse. This is my experience, hope it helps others. YOU GOTTA BE A LITTLE BIT MUCKING FENTAL TO OWN/RIDE AN UNTAMED (100% NO REV LIMIT) RAPTOR 700 - THEY DO BITE THE UNWARY AND SPIT OFF THE FOOLISH!

[@chickenleg7869]

If you haven't figured out the reverse yet, once your in first gear ( under neutral ) you twist the reverse button and down shift again. And to get out of neutral just upshift back to first gear. Just got a 2017 raptor 700 for Christmas. Have fun!

Nolan Kendel I'm 15 and getting one this summer. I've been riding quads for like 5 years now. Have you rode before? It's not a beginner bike what so ever. It will keep up and beat stock banshees. Best thing to do is go sit on one and see if it fits your size. If so try to test ride it. Aslong as you are good with the clutch and everything

[@socks2441]

@@lecoureurdesbois86 for an offroader thats very slow isnt it? i have a cr125 that hits 90 in much less time than that. but then again i guess its a motocross bike so its geared for tight tracks. i.e acceleration not top speed. as it stops dead in its tracks at 90. gets there like lightening then hits a brick wall and wont go faster. i am happy with that though, acceleration is far more fun than top speed, safer too.

[@nenad7653]

People, hear me out, especially if you are a rookie with quads/bikes and you are looking to buy one of these! I wanted a quad for a Long time and once I got some spare money I wanted o buy a quad, some Chinese model with 200kw or so, just to drive around and get used to it. Then a friend of mine who knows about bikes told me "Maaaan if you are buying a quad you need to buy THE REAL DEAL and that is Yamaha Raptor" So I checked it out, saw all the videos about it and was like Yeeeeeah I'm gonna ride it so bad like these guys I see on videos. I had it for 15 days and I had like 4-5 rides before I fell into a BIG HOLE like 4 meters deep. I was speeding like a moron because this machine ASKS FOR MORE THROTLE, it is amazing really, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT. While I was flying towards the ground aside my quad (And that was like 1 second, or maybe 2), the only thing that was going thru my mind was "This is it, I'm dead, this is how I die" Luckily I just had a totally destroyed knee and I am still recovering, it was 2.5 years ago. It will never recover to how it used to be, but I am really grateful to God that it was just a knee, I'm happy to be alive :) You need to hear this also, just to think thru if you still want to buy a monster like Raptor and don't have much experience. After the first operation, witch took place 10 days after fall I spent 3 months in bed, laying on my back because I couldn't move to side, not to mention stomach. First month I had to take a pee in bed, in medical bottle because I couldn't go to bathroom!!! You think that this corona lockdown was bad, just imagine spending all of that time in bed, unable to do anything on your own, you would literally die if you don't have someone to look after you :D Months and months of therapy and walking with help of those hand sticks and to cut the already long story short, I got to just one conclusion - IT WAS TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT. :D :D And thank you God for helping me in that situation

[@Cwizes]

Quick question how does one know when he should change into second gear while driving what’s the speed that makes one having to put it in another gear same thing with deceleration when to gear down at what speeds also should know also keep hold of the clutch at all time if not will it always stall

[@dane8531]

Usually when I ride I use the sound of the engine to tell when to shift up. Like when I’m first to second you can here the rpms climb but basically right before you “red line” on the quad. It’s kind of hard to explain but basically if it sounds like the engine is being red lines at a gear next time shift up before then and eventually you’ll just know. For down shift I usually just neutral and go all the way down but if I’m riding on slower gears down shift when you feel there isn’t enough power or right before
