These tires work good in all trail conditions but like the Raptor they excel on hard pack terrain. The shocks also no longer bottom out when landing hard from a jump. These two modifications I highly recommend they combined made a huge difference in the handling of this machine, climbing hills now it tracks strait as a string no more bouncing around, and on the rough trails it rides a lot smoother, even when going slow. I installed 08 YFZ front shocks (with high and low speed adjustments) which lowered the front about 1 1/2 inches and the Gt Thunder rear linkage which also lowered the rear almost 1 1/2 inches. Which was a big help I can now launch hard in second gear but first gear is still basically useless except for slow rocky trail riding.Ģ008 YFZ 450 front shocks/GT Thunder rear linkage

With the power increase from intake and exhaust mods this thing was really fast but It had so much torque I felt I could not get the full benefits of the power with the 14 tooth front sprocket so I went with a 15 tooth to try and calm it down. With the other mods I decided I would benefit from running with an open airbox lid so I ordered this screen type airbox lid to keep the big debris like leaves and mud out of my airbox while at the same time allowing for more flow. I have never found dirt in my intake track but like I said I perform regular maintenance. With a gauze filter like K&N you do have to maintain it more often than a foam filter so if you are not going to perform the maintenance as required I suggest you stick with the foam filter. This is an excellent setup that flows a lot more air than stock and does a really good job protecting the motor with the right maintenance schedule.

With the free flowing exhaust I decided to work on the intake so I added the prodesign intake with K&N filter, and outerwares pre-filter.

There are maps on dynojets website for several different intake and exhaust combos if you need one of them all you have to do is download them to your computer then upload them to the powercommander.

If needed You can adjust this box on the fly with the buttons on the controller itself or just install a different map from your lap top. I ordered my power commander already programed for my setup so it was just plug and play. When ordering the exhaust I also ordered this fuel controller which works great and has plenty of adjustment.
This product has held up to the test of time with zero problems. Not to mention this exhaust sounds great and looks just as good. Shortly after purchasing this bike in 07 I decided it needed "more power" so I ordered this exhaust(and Dynojet Power commander) which turned this bike into a whole different machine(HMF claims 10hp and I believe them). This bike has held up great, it has only had one failure which was the front sprocket seal that started leaking due to some debris getting behind the sprocket.įollowing is the products I have added to this machine since its purchase in 2007.īill Balance edition HMF full exhaust system
It is easy to ride with lots of low end torque, just ease out on the clutch and take off with very little throttle if any required.
This is an excellent bike that has proven that it excels in hard pack conditions due to the weight distribution. In April of 2007 I bite the bullet and purchased a 2007 model Raptor 700, Now two and a half years later I am still very happy with my decision. And note that we expect Ford's smaller displacement, all-aluminum, DOHC 32-valve V-8 to have a longer useful life than Ram's 6.2-liter iron-block, pushrod 16-valve, supercharged Hellcat.In early 2007 I set out to purchase a 450 class sport bike but after a little research I decided the Raptor 700 seemed to suit my needs better. Especially if there's only to be minimal overlap between the top-dog Raptor R and the 6.2-liter TRX. So, with the TRX as we know it on its way out, how great is the pressure for the Raptor to trump the 2021 TRX's horsepower and torque figures? Might a lighter, aluminum-bodied truck with marginally lower output, two more transmission ratios, and demonstrably better desert-racing suspension chops legitimately claim (or possibly even achieve) Baja-bashing superiority with 50 or so fewer horses and pound-feet? Maybe. He expects to maintain Hellcat performance with smaller, more efficient, partially electrified drivetrains. In a January 26 interview with CNBC, Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis admitted that the Hellcat engine, a version of which powers the Ram TRX, is an endangered species due to mounting compliance costs.
