After many suggestions I picked up a set of Banshee shocks for the front and back of my daughters Raptor 350. The back shock was the exact same length and bolted right on and made a really nice difference. The front banshee shock is at least 2 inches longer than the stock shocks and even...

For '08 my 13 y.o. daughter won the state championship for OCCRA XC racing in the 14 and under class (boys and girls). So next year she wants to step up to the Womens class and race her Raptor 350. So before she can do this I have to do something with the pathetic stock suspension. To me it...

My 12 year old daughter recently inherited the Raptor 350 from mom since mom stepped up to an '07 Predator 500 LE and I think we created a monster. She loves her Raptor and not afraid to air it out. Mom's new ride and my daughters newly acquired ride. Of course little brother can't...

The wife wanted something with a better ride so after a lot of looking she picked out a new '07 Predator 500 Limited Edition. The good news for the oldest daughter is she now gets moms 350 Raptor. She has been practicing all spring on it and is now really excited that it is now hers. The...

Kids wanted to go riding but I just washed the 525, so I grabbed the wifes Rappy 350 since she was gone. Man forgot how fun that 350 is in the mud. Airing out the 90 Two hours to get muddy as hell, 3 hours to get them half way clean.

Here are a few pics of the 525. So far it has more than stood up to the "fastest accelerating stock quad" test for me. KTM deserves their reputation for making the best 4-stroke race engines. They know how to get hp over a big RPM range out of their engines. Sliding and throwing some...

Found this on James Dean Jetting web page. This is one of the few Dyno numbers I have seen on a stock 350. http://www.pbase.com/jdjetting1/image/64795622 It looks like it was ran with stock nobbies and put down 21.62 stock. After installing his jet kit it looks like it jumped to 22.44...

My KTM powered 525 Outlaw finally came in, so the Raptor 350 is officially the wives. The new 525 is fast as hell and buttersmooth. The family of quads. Rappy and outlaw Ground clearance difference between Rappy and Outlaw 1 wheeling out of corner

Took the 9 yr old boy and the 11 yr old girl for their first trip to the dunes in Waynoka, Oklahoma. We only took a total of 13 pictures the whole time. Once you get there the last thing on your mind is pics. Too damn much riding to get in and too little time. ;D Got a leak in one of my...

After hearing all the good comments about Amsoil, I have been wanting to pick up some for all the quads. But I do not have anyplace that I can find locally. According to their web site the closest place is close to a 100 miles from me. So where do you guys buy your Amsoil from for the...

One step closer to everyone having their own quad. Bought the 9 year old a Predator 90. Just need to get the wife riding more, need the excuse to buy myself a new one and let the wife have the 350!! That little 90 Predator kicks some ass!!!! Daddy cannot resist wheeling anything...

This is why you need reverse ;) There were several of these trails that were several blocks long like this. Two 450's come nose to nose here and it would of been a long push backwards for one of them. :P Having fun sliding in the sand 103 degrees out and ready to go!!

Just a heads up this Saturday at noon on ESPN2. ;D It was on last Saturday and was pretty neat. First time I have seen ATV racing on TV.

Yamaha brags about how the tires on the Raptors and YFZ are specially made just for those bikes. But then you hear people bag on the stock tires and how you need to put on "Brand X" tires on for a big improvement. Are most of these people just jumping on the band wagon and parrot talking...

Snuck away with the 2 oldest kids today and had a little fun. Right rear getting ready to take a beating. The 8-year-old puttin some air under the Raptor 50 Glad I washed that quad just yesterday so she could do that... She almost stuck it this time She actually complained...

Put on a Pro Armor skid plate a few weeks ago. It matched up perfectly with the factory holes and took no time to put on. I really like the looks of the ProArmor "wings" that protect a little more of the side of the engine. Other models with the wings were quite a bit more. The...

Some of you have probably already heard about this, but for those of you who have not here is a very short version. Big corporations like AT&T, Verizon and several other large communication giants are spending millions and millions of dollars on a lobbying campaign in Washington do away...

I have been looking for new riding boots for me and the kids and was wondering about the sizing. The only local shop only has like 3 boots in stock and of course not our sizes. Have you guys found that the boot size is close to say your regular tennis shoe size? If you are a 1/2 size have...

I finally got a new HMF for my 350 Raptor. I was anxious to see the results of the net gain. I have a GYTR filter and jet kit ordered but have not received them. So I put the pipe on and lowered the needle according to HMF specs and it really runs great like that. I will probably have to...

I knew I was going to rejet later this week once my GYTR filter and jet kit come in. (Ordered 1 month ago from South Seattle Sports, they forgot to ship it, another story.) I have my new HMF pipe on there and just dropped the clip per HMF specs, but I know once I put the filter on there I will...
