Dude! I've said it before, but I'll say it again your editing skills are awesome 👌 👏 👍

This raptor is so iconic, very tasteful mods!

We will miss you guys at the 250r tour this year. Stay safe out there man!

Absolutely beautiful Raptor Build! Thanks for doing the walk around :)

The horn and turn signals are sick!!!

Bro your raptor looks sick! 🤙

Love the build pete,in my eyes nicest raptor on KZread,love all the products, im looking into a better case saverfor my trx450er , love the channel pete!

Love your videos keep it up🔥.

I just got word that my shocks are coming back from Jogaca. Super excited to have some better suspension on my Raptor! See you at Little Sahara!

Love that front bumper! I have the same Pro Armor Bully Up on my 400ex! I also have the Houser Slicast A-Arms on my 400ex! That is one sweet machine you got there, by the way ...

I picked up a new 24 700R just 3 weeks ago and have a Little Sahara trip planned for Sep 27-30. Just finished the break in today on it. Purchased the first mod tonight and went with the Precision Elite stabilizer. Just want to say thank you for making these videos and your channel. I haven't had a quad in 10+ years and your videos made me go out and get a 700 and the stabilizer. I can not believe how you were able to hit those logs and not get knocked off. I'm already wanting to do the big three, and get paddles but... I want to get to know the bike in its current form and kinda learn how to ride again. Then paddles, then big 3, then once it and I'm, ready a long 2 week trip to the big dunes out West.

This is my most favorite video you got bro I’m a huge fan I don’t have a raptor but I will one day and it’s just super nice to watch you do what you do bro 🤟🤠🤟

Man watching you ride the street makes me miss my 09 SE raptor 😢 should’ve never traded it for a banshee 😆I’ll get another sometime soon

I’m a Honda guy I did like your Honda 400 ex that you have you have such a nice for Honda 400 ex really did digit man

Topp raptor 😊

Great video as always! Would highly suggest getting a seat cover if possible, probably the last thing you havent touched! Would really help you keep your butt planted when doing those power slides.

Vai forte fratello!

Walk around video and still crush the edits! Sucks about the bent axle though. In better news, Dunes are getting closer!

I have 2 2022 raptor 700r SEs. I want to go to little Sahara one of these days but it’s a drive from Pittsburgh area!!

When are you going to rebuild your quads. When you do maybe a big bore or some stage 3 cams?

Hopefully new riders listen to you! Lol Best mod for raptor like you said steering stabilizer and suspension. Next should be make it wider to help with handling. Power isn’t problem on raptor even in stock form and like you said big3 it’s all raptor needs later when you get comfortable with it. I wish I knew all that when I started 4 years ago lol but of course I started wrong way with adding power like most of us!

I’ll tell you what what what will be the best video man I have a Honda TRX 700 he wants to ride this thing dude you don’t want to get off of it I’m Tony TRX 700 Honda made one of the great best hot as they have built

All lone star axles should have a lifetime warranty. That’s actually why I went with lone star instead of rpm. I’ve been racing with my lone star on my 450r for two years and haven’t bent it yet.

If you bought the axle new, lonestar axles do have a lifetime warranty as well as other aftermarket axles. All should know "lifetime" means the life of the axle. So basically you should be able to get another axle if this is the first issue with an axle. Great Video! Look forward to the dunes!!!

Mines been poping on decel more than before, even on a clean air filter.

*_😅_**_27:03_**_ What you tell them when they cannot decide between the YFZ and the Raptor!_*

Such a cool build for sure. What kind of axle are you going to replace it with? Maybe a dumb question but have you changed the spark plug to see if that helps with the sputtering?

Hey Pete when was last time you had valves adjusted? good idea to do them regularly. Last year bought my 2006 raptor 700 and wow did it ever run incredible after I adjusted the valves. it was making funny noises before and wouldn't cruise at low rpms smooth. I think that'd be your first look at for the sputtering or uneaven sounds. love your vids man. ya inspired me to get my raptor lol. what a dream the machine is eh. Thanks bud

How does your build stack up against similar setups? I realize every dyno reads differently but wouldn't you think that 60whp is considerably low with +2 valves, ported head, ported throttle body, stage 3 cam and the big 3.... I thought people were seeing low 60s with just the big 3, ported throttle body and s3 cams ?

Big 3 estimates 53-55 horsepower My set up (big 3 ) dual empire exhaust, fci, pc5… ported throttle body to 47mm by cuevro and stage 3 cam brought me to 64.5 horsepower Pete you have more stuff added then me there is no way your only pushing 60 hp

@PeteHager

8 ай бұрын

Sorry I missed this comment. You can definitely make similar power with less mods than I have. My builder did up the top end so it's ready for a bigger crank in the future. So when this bottom end gets tired we'll end up doing a full build and the top end will be ready for those higher numbers. This video shares when the quad was rebuilt and the original dyno numberskzread.info/dash/bejne/rImTmMd_YKe8gco.html

Will you ever buy a 2 stroke? 250r or banshee?( i see you more on a 250r since you like control alot)

If you’re looking for maximum performance and handling it’s gonna be hard to beat the YFZR. Since I rarely track rode and don’t jump very often I’ve preferred the raptor for most free riding scenarios since the torque and ergonomics are more fun and practical. Its frustrating to have to spend a few grand to make the raptor handle its best but you also have to spend a few grand on a vortex, tuning, and exhaust/intake for the YFZR to make them run their best so both machines have extra costs to get them dialed. I’ve always said if I could only have one machine it would be the Raptor
