i ride a gravel pit all the time
i have done 40ft dobles many time on mine no problems

if you are geting a 07 look at the SE the beter shocks are worth it if buying new
my dad has a 07 SE i love it now if he just had the power i have hehe (mines moded see sig)

Im hoping to get a leftover 2006 Aniversary edition, my friend has one and I love it, but I dont like the fact that they dont have reserve, he says when the fuel light comes on, that means get home:p

Just picked up my 06 SE for 7K OTD 2 weeks ago, and I took it to Oregon for a nice little break in weekend Litl Air (http://groups.msn.com/PugetSoundAreaRiders/horsefallssept92006.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=1124)

Alls I can say is it lived up to every expectation.



Oh yeah I didn't pilot it for that jump, its my buddies son, I'm too old to try a 4th gear jump.

the low fuel light is the reserve
the tank is 2.8 gallon and there is .8 gallon when the light comes on

honestly dude, if you don't like overhauling motors alot then i would get a raptor 700. they're the equivalent, if not better in my eyes.

U know Jayna? Looks like U met Randy too:rolleyes:

U should join some of us from PSAR(puget sound area riders) sometime for a ride, its a great group and Randy is also a good guy, has done alot of trial and error research on the Raptor for us.

Mosses Lake Sept.29th thru 31st

Ya I know her. I have rode with her several times on weekend trips up to Darrington, and put in several hours helping her work on old quad (z400) down at sand lake. I met her though Kim and Ronnie (Sandvig). **** for all I know you and I may have met? lol!
