daknuckler Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Does anyone have a new raptor 350? I was looking at one fro my wife. The guy at the shop said his girl has one and its a great bike. I was going to go with a 400ex, but the raptor has a cool look and if its a strong bike I rather get a Yamaha. Anyone with input I appreciate it thanks Quote

daknuckler Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 hey vegas400ex how does the raptor stack up to the 400 ex? :mc_smiley: ? ? :mc_smiley: Quote
Vegas FX400 Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 i got it jetted and it now runs what a stock 400 piped runs, about 27 28 hp...not bad for the wifes bike Quote
superdave Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 hey vegas400ex how does the raptor stack up to the 400 ex? ? ? :mc_smiley: dirt wheels did a shootout between the raptor 350 and the 300 ex and according to them they were fairly even. i have a warrior which is the same thing pretty much except for the plastic. my neighbor had a 300ex and the warrior was definitly faster. i have ridden the 400ex and it is a bit faster than the warrior. if you ride the 350 right its no problem in the sand. i had my wife on the back of mine a few years ago at coral pink and it went everywhere. the key is to just downshift early enough with the motor revving because if you wait too long to shift, when you do it can hit a false neutral and then when it does grab a gear its too late. just a note, my wife found shifting the warrior easier than the 400ex. and reverse is nice. :mc_smiley: Quote
Ross and Alice Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Is the raptor 350 have a new design frame, or does it share the Warriors frame? Quote
Don29palms Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Have you thought about the Suzuki/Kawasaki 400. They are really nice. Quote
steveo Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Have you thought about the Suzuki/Kawasaki 400. They are really nice. A buddy of mine has a Warrior with a yosh pipe and air box and the 350 raptor that i have is stock and is faster than the warrior. If you were to pipe the 350 and do a air box eliminator this bike would be preety fast for being a 350 Quote
superdave Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 they both have 36mm mikuni's. if there is a difference, it must be minor Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 they both have 36mm mikuni's. if there is a difference, it must be minor slides are different and the accelerator pump is different. Plus the raptor has that funky diaphragmon the top of the slide like the wolverine Quote
daknuckler Posted December 7, 2005 Author Posted December 7, 2005 what does that diaphragmon do? Quote
dunefreak Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 The diaphragmon provides vacuum to the kanooter valve. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) oops typo its supposed to be diaphragm Edited December 8, 2005 by sanddunesaddict Quote
