      where i live people are starting to move away from utvs and back into sport quads. I just picked up a used 400ex, a 2007 with exhaust, header pipe, k&n and the appropriate jetting. Wasn't my first choice but wasn't a planned purchase and didn't want to go into debt for something. It is solid and and makes good power. I have never road a 450 so i can't help but wonder what i'm missing tho. My buddy has a new raptor 700 and it makes nice power and a excellent seating position over the 660's.

      @@tylerdurden8939 400 ex is a awesome quad.... the fact that has reverse makes all the difference. I had a 2007 400EX and I loved it and I was going to get a 450R. But with no reverse that's a deal killer on the trails. 400EX is a sweet bike man especially that year

      It's fast but when it comes to climbing Hills that's when you can tell the difference and that's when the Raptor shines because when it comes to climbing Hills the Raptor is like two times the four-wheeler as a 450 especially if you're a heavy Rider 200 lb and over it's like night and day.

      raptor needs a sprocket upragde to race efficient and take advantage of the torque wo really losing a noticable bottom end, factory short gears for trails, though since the hp is pretty average, think it also has a setup for a easy turbo install already setup, can't say for certan.

    Great vid Pete! Ive had almost every brand of 450 and 2 new Raptor 700s and my current quad is an 09DS450x with the XC suspension swapped on to it… and its the lightest and best handling bike ive had to date … im 54 now so the almost stock power is loads enough now for me… but its noticeable with less power than the TRX and YFZ ive had. But still pulls super hard. My dream bike is to do a engine swap and throw a 04-05 kicker TRX big bore in my DS … it will happen … hopefully next season

    Hello, pls someone answer, I am going to buy a 250cc. I’m stuck between a raptor 250 and a can am ds 250. Which one should I buy? My opinion is the raptor 250 is better looking and better sounding, but too expensive. Someone please tell me which is better

    • @PeteHager
      @PeteHager  2 роки тому

      I don't know much about the DS250 but the Raptor 250 has the reputation of being one of the best machines in it's class. Plus there's more aftermarket available for them. I also know the Raptor 250 is a full manual with a clutch and I'm not sure if the DS has the same set up. I would go Yamaha if you can!😊

    Awesome videos, sweet quad. Food for thought. Next time when drag racing, try holding the throttle wide open when shifting, dont release it till the race is over. When launching out , try using more clutch then letting go of the throttle. It will help. Shifting sooner then ringing the RPMs out will also make it move faster to top speed. Give it a try and once its mastered you will see the difference.

    I’ve ridden a few ds450’s and yea’ they’ve got tons of power on tap, handle great etc...but if you’re not built like a proverbial jockey they’re terrible on long rides (as are all of the rest of the 450 class machines). I still have an 03 ds650 baja that fits us taller guys better than a 450 class bike.

    • @PeteHager

    @jasonramsden8084 4 роки тому +1

    Two questions.
    1. Is the Raptor a 660 or 700?
    2. How much weight can the Raptor handle?
    The reason I ask is because I'm a heavyset guy, 400+.

    • @PeteHager
      @PeteHager  4 роки тому +4

      Hey Jason, thanks for watching my video! The 700 is a bit bigger than the 660, plus its fuel injected and a better platform overall. I know a lot of bigger guy's get their shocks sent off and revalved for their weight/riding style. If you get a Raptor 700 try to find one with the adjustable piggy back shocks. The base model shocks would need to be replaced entirely whereas the special edition model's suspension can be reworked for your needs. One of the most popular guy's in the industry for Raptor suspension is Jogaca Suspension Works. The owners name is Kevin and he's a super nice guy, tons of positive feedback about his work. Here's a link to his facebook facebook.com/Jogaca-Suspension-Works-1653322231579405/ This is a more cost effective option (upwards to $1000-1500) whereas full blown aftermarket can cost $2-3K.

    Cassi Collins, the YFZ450 is actually faster than raptor 700 top speed wise and way better on launches. I myself would rather have the YFZ450. but everybody has there own preference on what they like to ride. which is cool.. no disrespect to you.

    Raptor top speeds the ones that arent like super customized are around 145km the world record of the highest speed ever by an atv was a raptor 700 custom with a rear rocket that reached 200 mph it got in the G world record
