Some of you know that I'm looking at replacing my dad's dirt bike with a atv. We found a really nice 07 raptor 350 for a good price on ebay. What are some cheap mods/adjustments that can help get more power out of a 350? Thanks

Porting, high comp piston, cam upgrade, bigger carb, exhuast header, and ignition upgrades. Unfortunately none of these are really cheap, but they are the only way you can get any real power out of that motor. Those bikes are quite underpowered, unless you have already gotten it, I would look for a 400EX, you should be able to find them in the same price range as the Raptor 350, and it is a much better performing machine.

My dad likes the 350 for its low center of gravity and its width. width is really important because we need to get it and my bike on our 5x8 trailer. If we don't like it, then we'll sell it this spring and get a 400. Here's the link. 2007 Yamaha 350 Raptor ATV Quad Extras Low Hours CLEAN :eBay Motors (item 130318380561 end time Jul-19-09 18:35:15 PDT) the seller has lots of experience with atv's and just got a brand new kfx450, that's why hes selling this one. He'll sell it to us for $2400 including barely used extra tires and all the other parts for the quad. Since this is our first quad, we really don't need to have it screamin fast. This will be our little "starter quad" i guess.

      NSFW / Looking for fun ideas for our 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground
      By mehim
      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      Looking for Quadrunner Flywheel Starter Clutch Gear race diameter
      By logray
      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      First time quad owner looking for advice!
      By Mikey509
      Hi guys, I was given a 2000 Honda Recon fourtrax 250 (I think that's the full name lol). The previous owner had it sitting for a while before I got it. It sat for another few years in my ownership. I got it up and going on its first test drive today!! I was wondering where everyone buys their parts from?  Coming from the car community, we have sites like RockAuto and many more. Anything like that for quads? Also would like to be pointed in a direction, if possible, for plastics. I am missing a few and would like to have it complete. I appreciate any input!

      need help on a yamaha raptor 80 stalling
      By Gtc4d
      I recently purchased a raptor 80 for my grandson for  christmas. I am trying to make sure it is running properly. i have rebuilt the carb and adjusted the carb idle then the mixture to middle of where it runs rough and it runs great for about a min or 2. then it stalls out. I can usually choke it and it will start so i feel it is lacking fuel. the fuel shutoff valve has been changed and i checked it for good fuel flow.  any ideas of what to check next. I am planning to vfy fuel float height tomorrow. I visually checked it by turning carb upside down when i had it apart and it looked level. any ideas are appreciated. 
       
      Thanks.

      1990 fourtrax 300 no power no lights
      By Adamb2025
      I have a 1990 Honda fourtrax 300 2x4
      I rode the other day for 30-45 min. Switched it off and now it is completely dead..
      battery is fully charged, fuses are good . WILL NOT TURN OVER ,
      headlights won't turn on , No neutral, reverse or oil temp lights . Electrically it is completely dead !!! I replaced the key switch and CDI box , STILL NOTHING.
      I bypassed the neutral safety switch and grounded it to the battery and still nothing !! I used a jumper wire on the starter Solenoid , the motor will turn over but not start . I even bypassed both fuses and straight wired it to see if I could get a neutral light or headlights still nothing . What could it be ?
