I'm 99% certain that boost bottles are for 2-strokes only, so no - you can't get one for a Raptor. There is some debate about how much they even help with 2-strokes...

Yeah i think there for the shee to connect the 2 carbs. I dont think they do a lot, if anything though

hmm...my friend has a boost bottle on his 'shee...im not quite sure how it works, it was like $30-$40, and it just like 'kicks' in at a certain rpm or speed...not like nitrious oxide where u can control when it kicks in........correct me if i am wrong...im not 100% how that boost bottle works, but he has been clocked at 80+mph by the cops:devil

I kinda remember a big debate about the use of boost bottles on blue traxx and from what it sounded they were just for looks and didn't provide any performance gain.`

lmao B.S.! not to be rude or nothing....i had a boost botle on my banshee, it did help low end slosh alittle, but nothing close to nitrious, tell your friend if he thinks his POS boost bottle helped that much, tell him he better get his carbs. custom goverend :rolleyes: he probably better take that off, the LITTLE performance gain isnt worth the risk having a wire rub through it(they are really thin) [incase no no one knows why thats bad...air leak....lean fuel mixture...piston too hot...not enough fuel for lube....no top end..]

my friend just got one for his shee and it connects the 2 carbs at the top and gives it more low end. he wants more low end alot but is it really bad for it or something? idk never heard of any problems but i havnt looked. so give me some detail! i dont want him to be screwed.... should he the carb that is just one that goes to both cylinders?

i thought boost bottles attached the 2 silencers together at the end:huh

All they do is equalize the pressure between the carbs. So, I suppose you could jerry rig one on a raptor, but it won't do much. Get a parking brake block off...it will save you money in the end. Dont pipe it...waste of money for 2 hp imho. Get a new piston and a cam for the same price. Good luck.

i forgot to add that he has i dunno how much done, but alotta engine work done...the boost bottle isnt the only thing....i know for sure hes bored it over, hes got an fmf pipe, fmf silencer(not sure which one), and tons of other stuff.....nitrious is different, i know that....i dont know alot about the boost bottle or nitrious oxide, but i answer questions to the best of my ability...

ive never read a post where i heard the words, "Like" or "something like that" so much! U sound like a bunch of dumb blondes! LMAO!! Ill see if i can type this so u guys can understand;) A boost bottle is like pretty much only going to improve throttle response or something like that. its mainly there to store like extra fuel, so that way when u hit the throttle, u have like fuel right beside the reeds or something, it doesnt have as far to travel, intern creating better throttle responseor something like that. It may help on low end too. but like thats what they were designed for.:p

If it stores fuel, thats new to me! I was pretty sure it was a pressure thing.

Don't waste your money even trying to adapt a Banshee boost bottle to your Raptor. They are not worth the $30 -$40. Boost bottles are made for Banshees and Blasters. Im sure if boost bottles did something they would make them for other quads. I have one on my Banshee and i notice nothing from putting it on my quad.
