@@aenarcos7021 I'm so sorry we missed this question. We need to make a video on this in the future. There are two types of a arms, standard travel and long travel. You can achieve around the same wheel travel with either setup. However, long travel refers more to the length of the shock used. Standard travel will typically use a stock length shock in long travel requires the use of a slightly longer shock. Anytime you add wider aftermarket A-Arms, you will need to have your shocks revalved and re sprung to deal with the added Leverage. Simply cranking up your shocks spring preload is not sufficient. If you plan on adding long travel a arms then you will either have to have your stock shocks lengthened, in addition to the other before listed modifications which can only be done on certain models. Adding an axle does not require you to do anything to your suspension. We did the rear shock on our Raptor redone to match the fronts. We worked with Race Tech on this build. They can help you figure out what you need or if you have any other questions feel free to hit us back.

@@ATVonDemand Alba is making extended long travel a arms that come with adapters on them so your able to run the OEM shocks. Can’t really beat the price and then you have the option to change to “long travel” shocks later by simply unbolting the adapters and removing them which gives you the lower mounting point for the LT shocks. That’s what I went with and was able to mount the Alba a arms immediately with the OEM shocks on my quad while I waited for months for my custom PEP shocks to be built and sent out to me. That was really nice because I got the Tusk +6 rear axle as well and the Alba a arms aloud me to enjoy the benefits of the extra width front and rear while I waited for good shocks. So I was still able to ride the quad and there was minimal downtime, just something to think about. I had my raptor to the local Motocross track already and put the Alba a arms and everything to the test and they held up to whatever abuse I could throw at it so I wouldn’t be afraid to run those A arms in any situation.

Exactly what a factory Raptor should be.

Yeah Yamaha needs to build this.

Nah I think I’d rather build up a 450. The chassis is far superior and much lighter and it wouldn’t take much to mod that engine and get probably even more performance than the raptor offers.

@voxpopuli905

Tiny McPoop Ok but what about the chassis design and it’s ability to actually use that added extra power? I mean... I could throw a ESR330 powervalved engine in my lawn mower and make it faster as frig.... but I’m not gonna. Idk man I think I’ll just stick with the Honda. The Craptor is an ok machine, but when I’m spending thousands of dollars start getting into the details and it’s just a fact that the TRX450 is very very very closely designed off the TRX250 chassis and that chassis set the bar for superior race stability and cornering capabilities at race speeds with the ability to do so using mondo horsepower and lunatics at the throttle. And quite frankly that bar has never been topped by any other maker. Only by makers who are literally copying the the TRX250 geometry. It’s just a fact. It’s lower center of gravity and narrow framework between the a arms and not to mention the litany of aftermarket parts to make it even wider stronger longer and better is just a mile long. Sooo idk why go for pretty good when can be fukn amazing? Honda simply just came up the absolute best combination of measurements and angles and it really can’t be beat. To be totally honest I’d much rather skip both of these and go directly to the TRX330 and just be done w it. And probably the only reason I’d go to the TRX450R is if I absolutely wanted a brand new machine that’s only been ridden by me. Like I said I’m not shitting on the Craptor. It’s pretty ok machine, I’ve ridden quite a few, it’s basically for Yamaha fans. I’m not saying it’s not good, I’m just saying it’s not number ONE that’s all. Maybe a person who’s taller or heavier would want one over the other. That’s also a factor. I’ve had banshees I’ve had Tri-Zs before. So it’s not that I’m a Honda fan boy that thinks only Honda makes good stuff. It’s just that this chassis like I said is simply that much better. It’s just all there is to it

@voxpopuli905

Tiny McPoop Back in the day the TRX set more race records than anything on the market. And even today those records have only been replicated by the fact that this chassis by default was almost taken out of the game, by regulations demanding a in production machine....and then the intro to the 400EX kept it in the game. Yamaha has a 450 and that chassis is also better than the top heavy raptor. I’d definitely go w that one over the raptor also, and guess what else.... Yamaha was also staring at 250R blueprints when they built their 450 also. They tried to disguise it, but anyone paying attention can see this in the front cross section.

Got a brand new warrior 350 in 1987 as a teen after my first & only 3 wheeler, which was a Yamaha 225DX. Just starting to ride again after 30 years & Yamaha seems to be making awesome ATVs these days, just like back then. I don't need a race quad but this quad looks amazing

I have an 09 SE and have thousands of hard miles on it. The only thing that has broke on it was the front sprockets teeth suddenly disappeared so I changed the chain and sprockets. I can't justify buying a new one that's a little faster. I'd buy a double R and give my 09 to my Son.

That's a good looking quad! I loved my 700 but with a wider body I could see myself clipping more trees and rocks at high speeds. I had to replace my steering column twice. It doesn't look like anything has been done to help the lights from breaking off in a roll over either. I'll bet that thing would be real fun in the dunes!

A wider Raptor would be the perfect bike. As an enthusiast over 200 lbs, the big engine and better comfort of a bigger bike makes sense. But one of the main reasons I want a sport bike is to take turns at the fastest possible.

Sweet machine

I had a brandnew 2001 raptor 660r. First complaint was it was tippy and tall feeling. (I was riding a banshee and 85 atc250r) first mods were 20 inch fast trekkers out back n hole shots up front on wider offset front wheels. Spacers in the rear.(axle bent jumping to high). Next mod was i turned the linkage around 180 degrees and lowered the rear alot. Stiffended things up a tad but was by far the most noticable improvement. I miss it for trail rippin but the 05 yfz450 that replaced it was just so awesome i never looked back except wheel banshees n raptors blew the decals off it top speed on gravel roads. My opinion after riding every yamaha atv made since the early 80s ( trizinger. Yt125 n 175. Ytm200e.tym225 . Tri-z . Moto 4 200 225 350 bigbear. Kodiak banshee raptor yfz grizzly plus over 50 mx bikes mostly yamahas.... hers my opinion.... lower it. Widen it. And skidpkate and gytr exhaust system . Pro taper bars.. ( stock bars are so gay wtf....) and yes i made a major mistake and bought a pile of shit POLARIS. Its ALWAYS broken. Wolverine x4 on the way asap.

I LOVE what you guys have done with this prototype Raptor! I have been looking at the Raptor for the last several months and I'm getting very close to purchasing one. I'm not entirely sure if I will hold off on my purchase in hopes of seeing a newer version like this one due to the fact that it will more than likely be a couple of years before it would be released...if at all. :/ Regardless, I just want to give a HUGE shout out to everyone who was involved in this Raptor prototype build! It is absolutely, positively as dialed in of a Sport ATV as anyone could ever hope for. I certainly hope that Yamaha listens and takes action and comes up with something as good (if not better) straight from the factory!!! In the meantime, one of the motorsports dealers that you highlighted should consider offering this incredible machine as a new, straight from the dealership custom package. I realize that this was not an inexpensive machine to build, however I believe that for the serious buyer, there is definitely a demand. I know how much work goes into creating this machine and filming/narrating a video like this. Fantastic job guys!

boffin6969 if you were considering buying a raptor pull the trigger. Who knows how long we will wait to see a machine like this or if we ever will. The current raptor is pretty awesome and easy to turn into this. You're correct, widening the machine wasn't exactly cheap however we really tried to max out value for the dollar on the parts we picked. Not by purchasing the least expensive but by using products that offered the most performance and value for the dollar. We're thrilled with the way this machine turned out and really appreciate you watching and giving us your feedback.

I used wheel extenders front and rear to get the width of this build. The rear is at 49.5 and the front is at 48.75. Since I only Trail ride and light jumps the wheel extenders work fine. The ride is so much better. More stable in the turns and side hills. I had a YFZ450 and my 700 rides so much like it not that its been widen. Its like having the ride of a 450 with the torque of the 700.
