Theres 2 things guaranteed in life. #1 Death. #2 This guy riding it hard for 100 hours.

Yamaha Sponsor This Man!!

Thank You for Your review. Waiting for the dealer buying 1 for me and 1 for my Son. Will look for those lamp covers now. Very excited Thanks Again Brother 👍🏻

Love the videos 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I just bought a 2020 Raptor 700r SE in Red and Gray and I’m loving it! Great review on it!

Yamaha was cheap with those headlights. Can’t wait to see you on the track. My boy is still undefeated in the drags. I still remember me and you going to sit on this quad before you bought it. Great video, love the attire and the microphone.

I got a 2019 base model raptor 700 and has been so great got 90 hours and 2200 miles just subscribed as well 👌🏻

Bro the 2020 design is just so sick! Nice review btw!

Great Review,on a great Machine! looking to get one in 2020!

Monster exhaust fci intake pcv Cuavo racing tune! I had to relearn the whole bike bc it’s that much of a difference. Unbelievable torque

I have a 2018 base model 700 that I bought second hand in Dec. of 2018. It is a very good machine. It had Houiser long travel A-arms and full FMF exhaust already on it from the previous owner. It did not have an aftermarket intake or fuel programmer on it when I got it. Maybe the previous owner took those 2 mods. off before he sold it to me or maybe just had not added the other "2" of the big "3" yet. With just a full exhaust It popped and died just off idle or when I would blip the throttle sometimes to downshift smoother. (otherwise it ran fine) I figured the air/fuel ratio was not right because it lacked the other 2 of the big 3. So I bought a factory muffler off the internet and put it on in place of part of the FMF system but I kept the FMF Powerbomb head pipe on it. Now the popping and dying just off idle issue is way much improved. The power seems the same but it is way quieter which is good for where I mostly ride. I also added the Houiser +1.25 anti-vibe steering stem and Flexx bar combo. because when I got it the factory handle bars were a little tweeked and the factory steering stem was twisted from an apparent crash before I got it. Now the handlebars are higher and more comfortable, and have the "shock elastometers" (basically skateboard truck bushings). I had to get a +2 inch longer throttle cable for the taller steering stem and bars. I enjoy riding it and I spend a lot of time with the front wheels off the ground. The Raptor is a wheelie machine. One day I might get better shocks than my base model shocks. The previous owner did have shocks with piggy back reservoirs on it but took them off before I got it. The only real thing I still need to address is my rear brake caliper rattles some because the rubber bushings on the sliders attached to the rear swing arm must be worn out. The brakes work fine otherwise. I know this turned into a long post but I figured I would share some of my Raptor 700 ownership experience. Overall a very good machine and in my opinion with all its performance capabilities especially including having a reverse gear make it the best "all around" true sport quad. Shane

Great review mate! 👌 I've got a touch over 100 hrs on my 2016 myself. Only issues I've had is a noisy chain roller and I can't keep the stock shifter tight on the splined shaft, all very minor. I've got an Empire full exhaust on mine and love it, it's loud and deep! 👌💪

great in depth review. just placed a down payment on the new 21 700r se ...and i can not wait!!!!

Great review! I told you I just got a 2007 Raptor 700R SE. It’s my second Raptor and I just love riding it. Even owning my YXZ (that’s awesome BTW) I still love throwing my leg over a 700! The best quad ever made in my opinion...

This look amazing 💪 👍 soo sweet 😍

Good review!! Glad its been good to ya! I like how you threw in undefeated too! Lollol Are you healed up and back riding!?

Loved the review man...U are so right about them headlights my headlights didn’t last long at all that’s another reason I went with the led pods by auxbeam and it helps me out alot when me and friends ride at night I have a video on my channel u can check out...but I wonder who was that person comment u looked over 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣💪🏾💪🏾🤘🏾

Bike still looks sweet! I'm a 700 lover myself, on my 4th one, brand new 19' in the shop with bad fuel pump, I know bad luck! 65 years old and ride street bikes also.

Rozzi Exhaust if I had to choose between those 3

I have a sparks racing exhaust on my 700r se and love it sound & everything

Got mine about a month ago! Amazing bike! Haven’t had any issues at all, I try to give it a daily dose of being Wide open and it loves it! However if i take it to the local Yamaha dealer while being under warranty will i have to pay to have the valves checked?

The lens covers are aftermarket and usually sold 3rd party on ebay from what I've seen. I asked years ago when I bought mine in 2011 and they aswell said no. Went home on Ebay and ordered a set of reaper eyes. For exhaust I'm running a Big gun evo r race series full system but this was 2011 so not alot of top notch exhausts were out yet for raptors. 2011 was also the first year for fuel injection I believe so everything was just hard to get for mine when I bought it. Still runs like day 1 I'd never buy another quad except another raptor.

I have the exact quad and my carrier just went out on me yesterday. Front brakes factory rear I’ve changed twice. Try 20” ITP mud lights on the back. I don’t ride track, all out woods race and air. They give you excellent forward traction but allows the quad to slip on turns I guide mine just by changing weight on the foot pegs. Re coated exhaust once.

Great review. Just got 2020 SE midnight blue and green. Sick machines. Just subscribed. Let me know about the exhaust and tune specs. Come to WA we will ride

Nice review man! I know this isn’t one of the 3 exhausts you mentioned but we love our Barkers big three package on our raptors. Barkers full dual exhaust, fuel customs intake, and a PCV with Barkers map already installed on it. So far we are around 3000 miles on that setup with no issues. Keep up the great videos. 👍

Had mine for 4 years. I weigh 130lbs so as a lighter rider my only complaint is when riding it hard it’s a bit top heavy and tipsy. Obviously that’s a given with the more narrow wheel base compared to a 450 to better fit trails but other than that perfect. Also stock tires suck imo. Edit: Great tip on lubing the chain before every ride i do the same.

A raptor 700 is my dream quad

Parents are finally gonna get me one they were a little scared at first but now I’m getting one sometimes this year

I went with 22x12.5x9 rear super swamper, and for regular riding 22x11x9 front 23x7x10 front. But I've also went with 105.5mm piston stage 3 cam, plus 3mm intake valve and plus 2mm exhaust valves, efi controller, breathable airbox lid, freed up the exhaust, full Hinson clutch. I geared it up as well, riding at 75mph I can pull it up in 4th then shift in 5th and it's stupid fast. Thinking of building a can am defender 6x6 with a cab, maybe make a swamp monster out of it, for my next build. I've also got ski conversation for front. I enjoy the quad when it need to be refreshed again I'll go with the 108mm top end piston.

Thank you so much! My family just got one. I'm a type A personality, so I was wondering if you have a To-Do list on what you do/check before and after riding....I just want to make sure my sons are doing everything to make this beast last. Thank you!

Great thorough assessment! I do have a few questions 4ya in response elsewhere on here. New subscriber! Where do you guys ride mainly? I'm in Western Ohio area. Thanks again. #Yamaha #Maxima

Did you ride it hard in those 100 hours?

“Trying to hold on for dear life” had me dying😂😂😂😂

Love reviews from people who don’t do their own maintanence

Do you mind sharing who makes the lens covers? Thanks

I’m thinking about put the evo dual exhaust on my 17 raptor.

Good video..👍

I ride it hard guys… Pause ! Great video man

On your head lights just put red led bulbs and a led light bar on the the front of your quad which would give you all the light you need and look really cool on your quad

I would go with Empire if I felt like blowing the extra money but since I don't feel like it I would just go with big gun sounds nice loud and it's affordable may not be the best but it works good

Monster exhaust for sure! That’s what I’m going with for my KFX450R

Hey bud.. I had a bored z400 that was fun as hell... my brother had a predator that I could not outrun at top end.. if I want the elite, the 450r or the 700r which would you prefer?.. Ltr450, 450r Honda, or the 700r? Thanks man.

I'm sure the quality could be better for the headlights but it's mainly the location. You change that you totally change the look of the quad.

I have a question. Here in my family we already have a car, but need something to go to work and back (and obviously on trips and stuff), but in Belgium (where i live) you need to be 24 years old to get a proper motorcycle drivers licence, and for these you need a normal car driving license (which i have). Would it be a good idea to use a raptor to go to work and back, and then also for the fun rides? Is it reliable enough for that?

You got to watch out for that rain, acid rain in particular.

Duals you won't regret it🔥🔥🔥🔥

The best exhaust the trinity stage 5 it’s been amazing with my raptors

you should buy double barker exhausts belive me u wont regret it

Monster exhaust, PCV, FCI from cuervo. I plan to get it for my 2017 raptor 700 😬

I pray I get many hours from our 2022 quads!

Yes sir I’m the same way. Drive the Helluva outta mine too 🤙

Monster for sure on a raptor 700 100% sure you wont be dissapointed with then

Just Subscribe . Just picked up a cherry 2018 because of this review. Thanks!!

I went well over a 1000 hours on my chain and stock sprokets never tightened it not even once and never even thought about lubing the chain.

What's the difference between three raptor 700, raptor 700r and raptor 700se?? Wondering which one to purchase, thanks for responding in advance.

i've got 500 hours on mine, just now bringing it in for a rebuild. Never brought it in for a service or anything. Got word back from the shop that it doesn't even need a rebuild yet. These machines take so much abuse and just keep trucking.

Think Pete Hager put a Rozzi on recently looks pretty sweet. Me though I'd go Big Gun Dual pipes.

Try Barker's exhaust

If there’s one thing you should learn from this video, is that he rides it hard

Some custom fab leds would look great

Go with monster exhaust fci n tunes from cuervo racing u won't be disappointing

Tear it up rich boy

100 hrs on that chain , you might want to replace it or buy a case saver before you put new tyres on the back .

Hi I’m new to your channel any review about the same quad but 2007 ???

Go to any auto store and buy some headlight lens restorer , those lights will clean up fine.

I've got a 2011 I went with Barker duals in the end.

pete hager has a great sounding raptor see what he is using

💪

What is your cleaning process after riding ? any specific products or techniques to have it looking so clean ? Thanks

Here's another one of your videos that I didn't get notified for wtf. March 15 I will be at a year and I have 200 hours lol very light hours😂 never wrecked and definitely doesn't have a bent frame and radiator I was seriously going out to talk about the quad you beat me to it

Would you recommend this over a utility atv? Does it handle better? What's your opinion on used VS new?

I wonder how long the raptor 700 would last if it was written very easily cuz I'm thinking about getting one and that's all I was going to do is just ride down gravel roads around my house and that's it and never wind the engine out?

Fmf exhaust is nice

Id go with Monster no personal experience with them but I seen Cuervo Racing recommend them !! What part of Florida are you in !!

I give my 2016 raptor 10-10 to reliable power and it has the best battery still good in 2020 pcv5 power bomb header hmf exhaust k&n filter kit and it rips still stock tires Alba nerf bars help keep me safe the headlights do suck I have full PRM full skid plats the I had rhino lined so it has more weight added I’m 230lbs and it still pulls me hard I race a RZR RS1 with trinity exhaust and air intakes with a tune and I beat him 700r for life 🤙🏽

Any problems with ignition key switch

Rossier Engineering 100% ..Wonder what you went with? Have a '21 Raptor 700R-SE (3.5hrs so far) -Ohio

I wonder if he had the throttle pegged those 100 hours?

Sparks do the job

My bulb went out in 2018 kodiak and the dealership wanted $23 for 1 bulb.. I went to tractor supply and bought one for $4.99 .. better brighter than Yamaha.

You have a new Subscriber [👊👊

HMF is also a great Exhaust

I heard these guys had transmission problems from way back to now. Is there any validity to that or is it just poor riders complaining? Im asking because im stuck between this and a yfz450. I mainly run trails or dunes only no track riding.

Might be a stupid question but how do you check your hours? Mine dosent have a hour meter

Out of the ones you said. Monster. But I'd get a full FMF. For anything from A supermoto to dirt machines..they look the best. Sound the best. And preform the best. Whats not to like? #FMF

That’s what’s it’s made for

u so get a FMF exhaust or the Yoshimura exhaust

Monster or empire exhaust is what I always see everybody have and FCI intake

Yes the headlights are terrible. It,s like someone put glowworms in jars and called a day. Nice machine, why no nerfbars? Good review

How much is 100 hours compared to miles!! I’m getting into the atvs/ dirt bike just want some news

Dual barker exhausts

First

I got a 2020 raptor 700r se haven’t had it a year and I’m at about 75 hours

do these have hour meters and odometers??

So what did you do with it the first 100 hours, baby the thing??

This guy sounds like the type to go to his mechanic for no reason just because he can

Yamaha Raptor is the best sport quad ever

MONSTER , END OF DISCUSSION.

I am a rider who like to drag race and trail ride and street ride and I need something fast do you think I should get the yfz 450 or the raptor 700

Get some aftermarket LED LIGHTS. They would work well for you. 49 bucks headlight problem solved.
