I would not get a black one. Black shows all the scratchs. I have scratchs all over my black side panels and I`ve ridden in the woods twice.

Thats probably why it is limited edition. It looks good for show but thatd be all the color is good for.

Yeah black and white are one of the best looking colors out there but are the worst for scratches.. And yes they probly only going to make so many of the limited edition ones... Its probly just going to cost more for something that your going to scratch up the first week..


RIDE HONDA !!!!!!!!!

i say this time and time again.the only reason why the side panels look like crap so fast isn't all because they are black it is because of the constant friction on them from your legs.yes black does show scratches more than any other color but i think you would get about average life out of a full set of them reguardless of color.1/2 of the 300ex plastic is black and i really don't hear anyone complaining as much as i do 400ex owners complaining about the side panels.you said your panels are scratched from 2 rides through the woods?well if the side panels are scratched from the woods i'd hate to see how bad the rest of the plastic looks:p my friend had a 300ex with 1/2 black plastic and put 2 very harsh years on it and the front(black)section of the plastic didn't look much worse than the red;)

Good point Crday98. All of my plastic is really scratched from riding in the woods. I knew it would happen, but I didn`t think it would happen in the first two weeks of having it.

about the black plastic thing, i actually think that the black by my legs is WAY less scratched then my front fenders, black too, legs kinda protect it..................but then again, most of my scratches are from the ground........

We're getting 2 of the limited edition black raptors, but not until next march. They look pretty nice, but it doesn't make me want to put the old for sale sign on my shee. lol.

Would anyone know how to modify
my 1993 Timberwolf. Because riding
it stock gets boring sometimes. Especially
with its lame exaust pipe. If you do give me a reply

Cool! If he does get one let me know
what it looks like. And oh yeah if he adds any
mods let me know about them to.
Thanks for the reply

Hey WarriorMan have you got
anymore info about your neighbor
getting a Yamaha Timberwolf because
I just added a home-made mod. It's a
just a regular piece of metal pipe that
I attached. It felt like it gave it alot more
horsepower along with a Kick-a@@ sound.
So keep me updated on your neighbor.

He`s not getting a Timberwolf. He`s getting the limited edition Raptor.

Oops my bad I thought that you were
talking about a TimberWolf but if you do
have any suggestions about mods, give
me a reply.

Get a Pipe of some kind.

BigRider69
11-28-2001, 02:14 PM
I would go and buy a new pipe but
I don't have that kind of money right now.
I'm not as rich as some of the other a#@-holes
on this site. Do you have any suggestions about
a cheap pipe for about $150.

The newest issue of Dirt Wheels shows a picture of a Raptor with the new 'shiny' Maier plastic in Cherry Red, it looks sweet ! Maier is supposed to be changing all their plastic, so it sports a shinier finish....

Full Bore is making plastic for the Raptor, haven't seen it yet though.


I think that nice black frame would look awsome with the red maier plastic.

Hey 400MXer do you have any pics of your quad I would like to see it. It sounds bad :) :) :) :)

I have some pics, but i need to get them developed and then scan them. The pics don't have the Tag bars or the Duncan front bumper on them though, stock bumper, bent renthal bars. But i'll get some ASAP.

12-17-2001, 03:21 PM
well hurry it up...:D

12-28-2001, 02:10 PM
That jet black looks good for show.

Quads aint made to look pretty...... They are made to get dirty and scratched up....... You can always change the plastics...... Only *****edit**** riders have clean unscratched bikes......:cool:

Same price as the other 660R?
I have a friend who is checking into this, he likes it a lot.
Rob was asking a Yamy dealer not long ago and they had very little info to give us. Hell, one salesman had no idea what Rob was talking about. :rolleyes:

Thanks..Sher

Never mind on the price question ... :D ... I found out.
$100 more for the limited edition is what the shop says.
Gary, our friend, put money down for one!! It should be in sometime this April.
Yep.. I'll get to ride it.. ;)

later, Sher

Soooo..aaahh....3punksdad...are ya trying to tell me Gary should get a 400ex!!!! ;)
Trust me.....Rob has tried and tried to talk him into a 400 but Gary isn't interested. He rode a Raptor earlier this year and fell in love. He says he wants something "different". Well..I guess the l.e. 660R is a little different. :)
