We added wheel spacers to the raptor come hear what I have to say #raptor700 #savesportsquads #contentcreator #enduro #review #yamaha #automobile #thoughts #foxracing #feedback
Same here, I have 2 Raptors (both 700 chassis and OEM equipment except engines) and I did 2 different things. One Raptor with FZ09 (3 cylinder) engine swap for which I did 3 inches spacers in the rear (+6 inches) total and +2 for each side in the front (+4 total). The way I did the front was I cut the A Arms and extended them with extra aluminum for the top arm, extra tube for the lower arm. I did the lower pass the shock mount so I kept OEM suspension travel. I also noticed that OEM shocks are very decent, but the springs are way too stiff for me and they don't give a dual-rate spring feeling. So, I took them on the grinder wheel and thin them a bit to give them a lower rate at the top. For the other Raptor, it has a 2 cylinder FZ07 engine. I tried +6 spacers in the rear with one of those amazon front kits that relocates the mounting points for the A Arms outwards by 3 inches on both sides (+6 total). I also added a steering stabilizer for this one as well from Amazon ($24). I like the rear solution very much, for the front, I think I will like the extended a arms better once I install them next weekend. The relocation kit from Amazon is decent, but it looks goofy and makes the bike turns funny in my opinion. Conclusion: male them wide, but not too wide. +2 on each side is where it should. If you need better handling, adjust your springs and lower the bike a bit.
That’s awesome and yeah I think suspension is a great start! I don’t wanna mess with my engine or anything to much I’m gonna leave mine sorta stock in that aspect but when it comes to travel suspension etc that’s what I could potentially see myself doing in the future!
@@PartieMartie06 oh yes yes I’m sorry I had a long day my grandpa was in the hospital today so I apologize I know what you are talking about and I definitely need to look into it more

Yfz450 wheel hubs
?
@@bryce_t_u it’s better than spacers and give the bike a wider Stance. Not really cheap but cheaper than other options
@@PartieMartie06 oh yes yes I’m sorry I had a long day my grandpa was in the hospital today so I apologize I know what you are talking about and I definitely need to look into it more
@@bryce_t_u hope all is well brother. But yes the yfz450 hub will keep the quad sturdy and no wear on other components
@@PartieMartie06 you are right I gotta look into it more when I’ve got time thank you for reminding me about this!
