  • Yamaha was cheap with those headlights. Can’t wait to see you on the track. My boy is still undefeated in the drags. I still remember me and you going to sit on this quad before you bought it. Great video, love the attire and the microphone.

    I have a 2018 base model 700 that I bought second hand in Dec. of 2018. It is a very good machine. It had Houiser long travel A-arms and full FMF exhaust already on it from the previous owner. It did not have an aftermarket intake or fuel programmer on it when I got it. Maybe the previous owner took those 2 mods. off before he sold it to me or maybe just had not added the other "2" of the big "3" yet. With just a full exhaust It popped and died just off idle or when I would blip the throttle sometimes to downshift smoother. (otherwise it ran fine) I figured the air/fuel ratio was not right because it lacked the other 2 of the big 3. So I bought a factory muffler off the internet and put it on in place of part of the FMF system but I kept the FMF Powerbomb head pipe on it. Now the popping and dying just off idle issue is way much improved. The power seems the same but it is way quieter which is good for where I mostly ride. I also added the Houiser +1.25 anti-vibe steering stem and Flexx bar combo. because when I got it the factory handle bars were a little tweeked and the factory steering stem was twisted from an apparent crash before I got it. Now the handlebars are higher and more comfortable, and have the "shock elastometers" (basically skateboard truck bushings). I had to get a +2 inch longer throttle cable for the taller steering stem and bars. I enjoy riding it and I spend a lot of time with the front wheels off the ground. The Raptor is a wheelie machine. One day I might get better shocks than my base model shocks. The previous owner did have shocks with piggy back reservoirs on it but took them off before I got it. The only real thing I still need to address is my rear brake caliper rattles some because the rubber bushings on the sliders attached to the rear swing arm must be worn out. The brakes work fine otherwise. I know this turned into a long post but I figured I would share some of my Raptor 700 ownership experience. Overall a very good machine and in my opinion with all its performance capabilities especially including having a reverse gear make it the best "all around" true sport quad. Shane

    Parents are finally gonna get me one they were a little scared at first but now I’m getting one sometimes this year
  • @simo41
    Great review mate! 👌 I've got a touch over 100 hrs on my 2016 myself. Only issues I've had is a noisy chain roller and I can't keep the stock shifter tight on the splined shaft, all very minor. I've got an Empire full exhaust on mine and love it, it's loud and deep! 👌💪

    I have the exact quad and my carrier just went out on me yesterday. Front brakes factory rear I’ve changed twice. Try 20” ITP mud lights on the back. I don’t ride track, all out woods race and air. They give you excellent forward traction but allows the quad to slip on turns I guide mine just by changing weight on the foot pegs. Re coated exhaust once.
  • @messiona
    Had mine for 4 years. I weigh 130lbs so as a lighter rider my only complaint is when riding it hard it’s a bit top heavy and tipsy. Obviously that’s a given with the more narrow wheel base compared to a 450 to better fit trails but other than that perfect. Also stock tires suck imo. Edit: Great tip on lubing the chain before every ride i do the same.
