1:43 is that ''oh shit moment"
every time I watch this i expect him to lose it lol
I had a Warrior for years back when they first came out and road it everywhere - desert, mountains and dunes and never had one single problem with it. We even finally projected it and had Lone Star arms front and rear, shocks, and even had Noleen go through the engine (from 18hp stock to just over 29hp!) It was an incredible machine!
woot woot! just got my 01 out of the shop had a 03 motor put in it. Awesome day for me, cant wait to go ride this week!!!
I have the 05 Raptor 660 Special Edition. Bought it brand new and plan on passing it down to my son. One of the greatest ATV's of all time.
Just bought an 03 raptor 660 with a 686 big bore kit, full big gun exhaust etc...I love it, loads of power
Great question. Check with Warn and KFI and see if they make bolt on mounts for the Raptor 660.
@ATVTVCOM The trail is 30 seconds away from my home. There is 25 miles of trails around my town alone. A quarter of a tank is all i use every other day. I'd rather take my ATV out more often with my friends then go on a 150 mile journey once a year. (Though we still do that of course!)
Fuel used on an ATV is never wasted :)
Happy riding!
Every one you listed are great quads and probably even more reliable than the Blaster !
@ATVTVCOM Cool.. thanks for the quick reply!
AMEN!! Can't agree with you more! 03 Rappy 660 Special Edition
@MossyOakMax Tough decision. The choice would be harder (for me at least) if it were between the Raptor 700 and the KFX700.
@ATVTVCOM i always see you preaching about the 700 raptors what makes them so much better
Well, if the choice is the 660 or the 400 I'd choose the 400. But if it were between the Raptor 700 and the LTZ then it would be much closer. The LTZ is far more nimble and quick - especially around a track, but there's just something about a big bore single - lots of torque and pulling power - better for the dunes and the trails.
It all depends on what you want to do! The Raptor is a big bore torque machine and the YFZ a more high-strung racer. My only real sport use is the sand dunes and the desert trails so I put the Raptor 700 as my all-time favorite sport quad....
hey awasome video! is the shifting 1 down five up? or all five up? thanks
@DatMasta96 I understand completely. My thoughts are that the 700 were improved in so many areas (not just power) that they might be worth saving a little longer for. What's the price difference on Craig's List for a 700?
@rundownaxe Ahhhh, now that sounds great! I might have had a few rides where I thought the fuel (and time) was wasted but when compared to sitting in front of a TV (or computer) NEVER...
The Banshee is an incredibly fun machine but the Raptor is much easier to ride in a wide variety of conditions due to its broad power-band 4-stroke engine.
@yardknomeHD First, check the air pressure in the tires to make sure it is the same on the left and the right. That's the easiest. I bet that fixes it. If not, next stand in front of the ATV and look at the tires to see if the fronts are not aligned. You should be able to see one angled out more than the other. Next, see if the front brake is dragging or if a bearing is worn. Jack the front up and spin the wheels.
Two completely different machines! It's like asking should I be a pilot or an engineer?
@4realskater13 Yes, and it makes a big difference assuming you add the sag by installing better shocks. The newer 700s are still a superior package as they are designed with a tighter and lower mass and center of gravity.
I own a 2006 Raptor 700R I tried a 660 and what a difference in only 1 year ! And yes this 660 is tippy and tall ! And the first and second gear have to much torque ! The front end always wants to be in the air. I'm glad I ran out of money back in 2004 to buy the new fuel injected Raptor in 2006 ! On 10 i'd give this quad a 6...
They wear out much faster than a 4-stroke. But the good news is that they are much easier and cheaper to rebuild.
While I may 'operate' an ATV website, this test was filmed in 2004. According to my calculations that's 9 (count 'em NINE!) years ago. (And so you know, we did film this test when it came out in 2004 NOT 2005 as the year-model says). And it is on an ATV that no longer is produced, so no Daniel, I don't remember.....or care ;-)
i just got an 04 660 i like it it goes 70 mph and its all stock except K&N
@macgilliosa99 They were redesigned with more mass centralization, lower center of gravity, better running engine and better suspension. The 660 is a good machine. The 700 is a great machine!
I am deciding between this atv or a 05 Predator 500, which do you think has more overall power and which do you think is the overall better quad? For mostly trail and maybe a little dune.
@ATVTVCOM ok thank you very much for that info, now about the other 2 bikes that i had mentioned the z400 and the 400ex would either one of those be better for trail riding and just screwing around?
@ATVTV oh well makes sense why they are so cheap... thanks for the info
+GOPRO MX You have to be even more careful buying a used machine......
If u had a choice between a 2003 660 raptor or a 2002 350 banshee which would you choose because both are in pritty good condition
@ATVTVCOM ok thank you very much for that info i think i will go with the 700 if i can muster up the money and if not i will go with the ltz
hoked on fozicz werked for me! by the way the quadzilla name was only given to the big 500... and and thats just a nickname that caught on years ago
Ltz 400 or raptor 660 ? I mostly ride open fast trails, but occasionally I ride tight trails with a bit of mud. I have a warrior right now but I feel that I need a bigger bike.
I want reliability , torque , good throttle response, and a good amount of speed.
What do you think?
What do you think has more power? Predator 500 or this? Same year. I am considering getting one or the other, which do you think is the better quad?
Could be for Raptor. Or Racer. Or maybe R just looked good tacked onto the end of those numbers ;-)
i got a 01 yamaha raptor 550 its not running at the moment i got water in the carb but i love mine it has so much power!
What would you say is better, the new raptor 700rse or can am ds 450? Ive got a 660 now but looking to upgrade! Also, whats the best exhaust to fit to the 660?
@raptor700rblue If you'd looked at our channel or our website you would have noticed that we have all our 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and what we've tested so far in 2010 up. We don't have the opportunity to test every ATV every year. And we have cut back on the testing of sport quads. Just saying.
I'm somewhat new to this, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but would this raptor be to small for me? I'm 6'1 and 250 pounds. There is a 2004 660r for sale locally and I'm looking into possibly getting it, but I'm unsure if it would be the right size for me.
I have raptor 660 all GYTR best quad i ever had very fast and easy to do wheelies with not recommend for beginners
I'm 6'5" 180lbs guy looking to get a used Sport Quad. Is this the largest frame quad for my size? How about the Raptor 700? Can you suggest another? Thanks!
@okiesoldier44 Thanks. We appreciate the compliment.
I can attest to the reliability, I have an 05 and I've had to replace a few parts now and then, but nothing more than a clutch, I even think It has the original spark plug come to think, lol
@broughsy Tough question. As the 660 has that big bore torque, the LTZ is fast and very responsive both in power and handling. Far better than the Raptor. Now if it was between the Raptor 700 and the LTZ it might be closer.....
@Sandeep9201 OKay, look at the choke lever and see which way 'pulls' the cable. Pulling the cable with put the choke on.
@odom602 damn..... well the jetting was a issue... i owned it for 3 weeks and sold it to buy a 700.... i rode it for about 30 minutes going up and down a hill...the started to back fire as if the jets were off.... i installed new jets and still off then i cleaned the carb throughly and this went on for like 3 days of messing with the jets and its a dual carb so its so much more work.... i just hate carbs now i swear..... i now got a 700 and LTR450 and i love EFI totaly worth the money.
i am looking for a sport atv and i really like this raptor 660, 400ex and z400 i am 6 feet 200 pounds which of these bikes would be the best for me the biggest thing that i am looking for in a sport bike is being reliable and i want the one that is best for trail riding/ can wheel spacers help out with the raptor 660 being tippy? or can you recoment any other bikes, please reply
i've been riding a Honda 300ex for years and im thinking of getting a Raptor 700 or TRX 700xx which do u think i should get?
@devintravis0121 good one to start with, they arent very fast but yet still fast enough to have fun with and harder to get hurt on especially if youre new
It should be just fine - better than one of the newer 450Rs as they are smaller...
@ATVTVCOM idk if i would agree on comparing the raptor 660 to a truck, if so it would have to be the ford lightning or the dodge viper truck or something like that that is crazy fast but can still take the turns very well
@XxAryStarxX The Raptor 700 is my favorite sport quad...
I personally like the IRS I have a outlaw 525 and it's perfect and is not tippy at all and is very fast only sport quad that is faster is a trx700xx which is also irs
@ATVTVCOM Budget mostly, but which out of those two?
@sandeep9201 what kinda issues did your 2003 raptor have because im about to get one
personally if you like to ride the raptor in situations that it gets stuck in you ought to trade it in on a grizzly 700 or maybe a can am renegade or something like that, raptors are not very good mudders and are best destroying you buddies on the trails or something like that, but im not dissing you or anything if you want a winch on your quad good for you, but an analogy to that is like trying to pull a camper with a camaro
@crazystufffff The Raptor 700 is one of my all time favorite sport quads! It is so much better than the 660 you won't believe it!
Should I get this or a Kawasaki kfx 700 quad idk because the Kawasaki is a 700 twin and raptor is a clutch
i just bought my 2005 yamaha raptor 660r and it runs great except it idles kinda high sometimes when i hold the clutch in and when i go to slow down. i just purchased a new air box because on the back of mine closest to the muffler it got hot and bent to where the lid leaves a gap between it and the box. is this my problem or is it somthing else? any reply would be great
Hey I have a 200 blaster and I'm looking for more power and reverse, it's kinda between the Ltz 400 trx 400 or raptor 350/660. But I need reliability. I've sunk my blaster goin down the river D pulled her out and away she went... Which of these quads is the most reliable? Can't take the most? I like muddin and trail riding?:D
the raptor was ALWAYS called the 660R. what was the R for? my educated guess is reverse, seeing as it was the 1st "high performance" quad with the feature. hey can i have your job?
@mxatvhillclimb69 I have no idea what we are talking about. Motorcycles? This is a video about a test of the 2005 Yamaha Raptor 660.
@Mzahaka1313 Better overall - much revised - lower CG - better mass centralization - more powerful - better low end. Better.
Where can I put a winch on my raptor 660? Just for when I get stuck but don't wont to weld it on the frame
is the 2003 model raptor 660 very reliable on the trails
@crazystufffff I think you missed my point(s): 1. I can't recommend an ATV to someone under 12 period! 2. I personally don't believe anyone without a valid driver's license should be legal to ride a quad anywhere - except private property.
u got a yamaha blaster vid?
if its tall can't you drop it the suspension a little bit?
cause i ahve one of these, and i wud like to ttry it one time
I dont know what to get im 11 years old ive been riding for 9 years and i can do triks and all so what is better raptor 660cc or banshee
Im maybe getting a 2003 raptor 660, its like new should i get it???
im looking for a good atv with lots of power and a pretty good top speed is the 660 the way to go
@Xxslayer410xX Most stock tires are not nearly as good as aftermarket - depending on where you ride them.
Check the local classifieds
Should i get a trx450 or a raptor 660?
The Raptor is a good machine. Whether a 2003 660 is reliable will depend on its condition.
Why do people always say that you should rebuild the top end of the engine on 2 stroke. And why
and which is better raptor 700 or yfz 450 and why
does independent rear suspention have an advantage any where
@chadsenters00 That's right. If I were out looking for a used ATV for sport riding and going to the sand dunes, I would pass on those and look for a Raptor 700.
Well, the LTZ is the same as your KFX (made by Suzuki!) so you know exactly what that ATV is so the Raptor would be something different.....But, the 660 is not one of the better big bore quads. If you could find a 700 you may park all your other machines ;-)
What is the difference between the 660 and 660r
@Y0UNERD from what i've heard, no. It's simply too tall, and too narrow. The YFZ is built for track-style racing, so it'd be a much better bet. Although, the raptor is fun as hell to throw around like that though.
what terrian better for straight axel and which for irs
@slayershayne Not sure of your question? Did you mean have fewer 'new' tests? The economy has hurt the ATV industry and because sales are so far down they has considerably less money to spend on advertising and even loaner units for the press.
how do you know when they are about to wear out
@ATVTV could you give me your overall opinion on these three atvs 400ex raptor 660 and the polaris predator thanks
+GOPRO MX The 400EX is a good all-around sport quad. Very reliable. Not nearly as powerful as the others. The Raptor 660 is a good all-around sport quad but not nearly as well balanced or as powerful as the Raptor 700. The Predator is unreliable.
How is the 700 on jumps
On a 2-stroke you will hear it rattling, lost power, and smoking more.
@mrlonely199 Can't tell you how many miles to a tank as the mileage varies so much depending on the riding, but they get better mileage than the smaller 450Rs
would be nicer if you start putting some of the 09 tests.
just saying
@ATVTV is the outlaw 525 more reliable better performance how would you review that? thanks
+GOPRO MX No more reliable.
@dirtboy1234561 It all depends on how you want to ride. And where you ride. They are at the opposite ends of the spectrum - high-strung two-stroke like a race car and a thumper more like a truck.
@ATVTVCOM You can recommend one...something like a YFM 90R would be a good start for an 11 Year old. 660 or banshee is out the question, way too much power for you! He only needs a licence to drive on road...he can drive any quad he wants off road
where can you get a cheap raptor 125 from?
A sport quad is better (IMO) everywhere with a straight axle. It's far more stable.
Obviously, he is a good rider, very good if you ask me, most people would have wiped out there, he knows what he is doing. lol
@chadsenters00 My pleasure ;-)
would anyone recommend this raptor for a beginner or is it too much. Male 190lbs, 6'1. Cuz i dont want to look like an idiot if this is a tiny-er size tv. And is it too much power for a beginner
I don't think Kory even knows those words ;-)
dont quote me on this but i think the R got GYTR nerf bars and slip on muffler
