Sand_YFZ Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Don't run a 13 on your YFZ. You will hate it. It may feel quicker but its not. If anything go up one tooth on the rear. Its not a LTR so don't go off that info. A solid bolt on YFZ should never need a 13 up front unless you are a very heavy rider. Get a good set of paddles, cam mod, good pipe and intake and that thing will rip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand_YFZ Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Didnt notice your mods were listed..There is no way you should need a 13. What paddles are you running? If they are 22's then you may need a 39 rear sprocket. If they are 21's then 14-38 will be fine.For a bolt on YFZ I would run a 6 cup padla brat, 6 cup 22x11x8, 20x10x8 7 cup hauler, 9 or 10 paddle 22x11x8 Gliders. IMO 6 cup Brats are the BEST tire for a bolt on YFZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavtfan Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 i'm running a 7 paddle 20x10x10 skat trak extreme rear. i'm about 230 lbs. it rips with the stock setup, comp hill is no problem at all, just didn't know if going down 1 in the front would help it or hurt it.

elpato Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 hey Aaron which sproket is good for stock 700 raptor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavtfan Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 my street run didn't feel much different from the stock setup by the way....if anything i topped 2nd and 3rd out pretty fast so i'm not so sure i like that part of it. Very easy to change though, didn't even have to break the chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand_YFZ Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 hey Aaron which sproket is good for stock 700 raptor? I would leave it stock if its bone stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to change though, didn't even have to break the chain. Exactly and the YFZ already shifts short stock. So that's going the wrong way. If I were you I would pick up some brats. Huge difference in performance over what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavtfan Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 those brats may have to wait till next season, just bought these extremes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBoreVegas Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 hey Aaron which sproket is good for stock 700 raptor? I would run a 22" Paddle and leave it stock sprockets. I run a 22" 10Paddle, would prefer a 6 or 8 paddle to be ideal. What a lot of people dont understand is the right tires make a world of difference, find someone willing to let you try different setups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
