raptor 660?

[timmy400exfast]

I was just wondering if there any common problems on these things that i should be aware of. i've also heard these things have weak swing arms...is that true? any problems with the motor? i'm coming from honda so any info would help!
thanks guys

stay away from the 2001 models they have bad tranny's but an 02 and up is a good bike and the swingers are strong...

basically the starter clutches and suspect 2nd gear in the 01 models.If you arent doing serious mx,these are probably the best kept secret for performance,they can be had cheap.a piston and cam along with the typical pipe and these things rock.dont listen to the hype,rapturds,crapturds i heard all the stories.55hp with just a stage 1 cam,11.5 to 1 piston and pipe.You wont get that without those and porting on a 450.Not to mention gobs of torque!:D

The 660s are also a bit taller than the newer 700's - since the newer Raptors got a chassis makeover somewhere along the line. Do be careful of any 01 that hasn't already had the transmission upgraded....otherwise, I agree with the above poster - the 660's are a lot of fun and they are a good deal nowadays!
