and?

i said it was lighter.

diddnt say by much.

o yeah and ever heard of the term.

no replacement for displacement?

guess the 525 puts that to rest huh?!

yeah with a whopping 510cc... or you can have 686 with a pound more

the 535 with the irs is only 1 pound lighter then the 700

im getting just about annoyed.

polaris's are just as reliable as anything else. excet honda, but thats not the point. only the EARLY model Polaris's had trouble with their belts and such.

the newer model outlaw 525's [by reviews everywhere] have not had any problems.

and NEWS FLASH the raptor is heavier. not by much but thats not the point..

raptor has pointless weight.

and your looking at 4.4 inches of ground clearance from the raptor vs. 11 INCHES from the outlaw.

its just all around better.

ill say it again. dont get me wrong. raptors are cool. but they arent all they are cracked up to be. they are overrated.

so why did they have so many recalls.. one of them was because it would start on fire..

he is one of the recalls

Polaris : Vehicles : InTheNews : Polaris Industries Inc. Recalls ATVs Due to Risk of Injury to Riders

Outlaw 525

irs adds weight also

ahhh o wasnt aware of that.

thats cool.

makes me like them even more.

but come on people.

only the people who own raptors are saying they are the best trail quads.

ill be honest, i like yamaha and in no way im i being biased but the Polaris has so much more on it.

lighter,more power,IRS, ground clearance

WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?!

to teh guy buying,

you wont be disappointed with a raptor, but you could have it a little better with the Outlaw.

untill you have to take it back to the shop every other week.. and you figure out its slow...

my buddy had a raptor 700 that he raced harescrambles with....he raced it about 5 times before trading it in on a yfz 450 because the raptor was wayyyy to heavy and hard to lug around.

it has about 47 pounds on the yfz.. if you can't throw it around you shouldn't be racing....

get a raptor 700 best all around out there...

check the level.. are you sure you bled them right... did you try bleeding them more then once..

Got to choose and pick the right battles.....with my luck the paint would start pealing after a few hard rides and rust would be popping up all over....I would have held off on getting some of the accessories that you can add on at anytime and spent the money on the powdercoat and had one less thing to worry about in the long run.

well put... not knocking paint but the frame takes the grunt of everything for the most part... if you rode strickly in the dunes i wouldn't worry about it to much... anything but dunes it isn't going to stay nice and pretty for to long...

you should use powder coat.. doesn't wear as fast..

if you have and mech skills you can do it yourself.. it is very easy.. get the service manual and go at it.. just take your time and do things right.. you can buy the parts 5 times over for what they will charge you.. unless you take it to a ma and pa type place.. you know any back yard mechs that may be able to help you out...

thanx bot! your always a help!

btw this project will continue after repaired.

my buddy wants to hop it up a little too.

i told him toomey B1 kit

good choice?

i put a top in on a blaster about two years ago and had 80 bucks into.. a few hours and was breaking it in... and all blasters are kick start.... very easy to work on... if your not sure on what you are doing or its your first time going into the motor i would recommend that you get the service manual.. it will show you everything you need to know in detail... good luck man...

Looking at getting my first quad and want a 2008 Kawasaki Brute Force 650 4x4. List price is $6,599. What can I talk them down to? I'm going to be paying cash as well. Thanks.

with cash money i bet you can get it otd for 6 even... thats taxes and prep and all the other stuff they tack on... just tell them you can get the same bike at some place else for a given price and if they won't go that low you will walk... bet they will take the money...

i have it.. works pretty good...

the 700 rips also..

i have a raptor 700 also.. choose it over a 450 because i think its better suited for all around riding... the efi was a big plus also.. it feels at home on the trails and on the track... plus the thing rips... also all the 450's i have been on feel cramped to me..

raptorforum.com

check the sale section.. on post a wanted add.. tons of parts around im sure you can find what your looking for

thats good stuff...

yamaha just needs to make a production rhino with a r1 in it...

You work for Budweiser! My family probably pays your bills!

you can run without the lid on... lets it flow better.. you can tell if it is an aftermarket pipe by looking at it.. i would bet that your jets are off...
