- Doing some work to my new Raptor. I'm thinking about doing the exhaust next once I'm done with the engine break in. Let me know what you think in the comments. I hope you enjoy the video!

For anyone removing decals from body work, it is best to gently warm the stickers up before you attempt to peel away from the body, this also helps to remove as much glue as possible, once removed you should use solvent based degreaser which should wipe off any excess glue that still remains, this cuts out the need for scraping the glue off. Once glue is removed use a fine polishing compound to gently polish the area back up.
In addition to the big 3 mods, upgrade to a stage 2 cam. Another option instead of putting a power commander or anything of the sort is to flash the ECU. I still have my '07 I bought new, and the thing is still a ripper.
Just my opinion 🤢 but nice quad
Thank you
It looks how you want it and that’s all that matters !
Nice 700 I got the exact same one. Good video homie , gave me good ideas..
Glad you enjoyed the video
Looks okay , we all do things differently, I’d ditch the 10,000 lumens out front and go with some nerf bars with heel guards , a proper fci intake , exhaust and a programmer before a graphics kit. Ride hard brother !
Nice! I plan on the exhaust and tune soon. The excessive lights may not look the best but make it easy to find my dog at night lol
Looks badass!
Thank you!
They were IMPOSSIBLE to find during '21 too..waited 2mos. Have '21 700R-SE. I too changed rear tires to GBC XC master, MoFlo air box cover & NGK iridium plug (nice upgrade starts quicker!). Mine isn't broken in either. 4hrs on Acerbis hr meter! Get an hr meter asap. -Ohio
I like the skull rap looks nice
If you remove the airbox lid and the baffle that is in the muffler they restrict the air but if you do this it will give you more power especially if you had a fuel controller you already got a nice air filter you just need the other two for the big three and remove your air box lid.
Nice I got the same one. I've done some decent amount of upgrades on mine but out of all the upgrades I've done, changing out those shocks makes a huge difference.
Yeah the stock ones are a little stiff for my preference. Which ones did you end up going with?
@@BetterDays I went with elka legacy series +. I would go riding for 30 mins and my back would already hurt with those stock shocks.. and I'm only 28 haha .. I did shocks before getting power upgrades and still the best upgrade I've done lol
@@BetterDays did you add 2 wiring harness for the led bars? Or just 1 wiring harness? I'm looking to put 3 led bars on my quad but all I find is wiring harnesses with only 2 leads
@@JoseLuisMorenojr Nice I'll have to look into those then. I only used one wiring harness with 4 leads. Everything hooked up real easy

No need to buy aftermarket suspension unless you’re racing. Have the stock ones revalved and spring for your weight and riding ability. Lots of reputable guys out there to choose from. I’d look into BNR Motorsports, DeRisis Racing, Rocket Ron Racing just to name some of the top guys
ThAts my favorite color that they’ve put out for the rap. I wouldn’t do anything to it except lower the quad and stretch it maybe a lil and throw good tires and do engine upgrades but nothing to the color
Monster exhaust
Looks slick wanna put some after market headlight like yours on my raptor 350 but idk how to wire stuff up sadly
It was pretty easy actually. If you look up "nilight wiring harness" on Amazon they have pre wired setups with the battery terminals, switch, fuses, etc. already connected for you. All you have to do is mount the switch and connect the terminals to the batteries and lights, then zip tie the wires out of the way and you're good to go :) I'm no expert myself and I've done it a few times now no problem.
dope my guy🔥
Thanks Dribblez!
Once you start upgrading and modding it will never end but you will love it! I would say Big 3 (Intake like FCI, Programmer, and full exhaust) and then a-arms and suspension since you have pogo shocks, if you can.
Very true! I plan on doing exhaust and tune soon, and then shocks later when I've got the money for it
@@BetterDays they are super lean from the factory so I would recommend getting a programmer as soon as you can. Cheaper Dobek styles are good - we ran one of those for years (JD Jetting, but they are all about the same). But we recently went with Dynojet PCV and love it, little more pricey but worth it IMO. Can't wait to see what all you do with it.
@@TheATVWorldVideos Good advice, thank you. I'll have to look into those when I'm ready for the upgrade
@@TheATVWorldVideos Cool channel btw
That model has WORST SHOCKS! Get Fox shocks preferably. Maybe Elka stage 4.
Just bought one also 👍🏼🥶
nice vid. im waiting on my 700R SE
Thanks! I'm sure you'll love it. It's a massive upgrade from my old 2010 raptor 250. Makes it feel like a kids toy now 😂
They are very impossible to find i finally got mine ordered not gonna have it until oct 2023 getting the 2024 700 se
Sounds awesome I think you'll have a lot of fun with it
Loved all the mods, except the wrap 🤢. If you like it, that’s all that matters. Badass ride though! CONGRATS!!
I don't know what all the fuss is about. I think these are awesome just out of the crate! I plan to get one and I don't plan to change a thing.
They are pretty great, I just wanted to make a few improvements. The new tires help a lot in mud and the extra lights make it easy to track down my dog in the yard when he's being stubborn at night lol. I've loved every minute of owning my raptor. Huge improvement over my old 250
Muito top esses quadriciclos. Queria adquirir um mas não tem desses modelos aqui no Brasil.
Lights gonna break off in the trails from bouncing been there many times those little brackets that holds the lights snaps off everytime
In my experience the brackets are fine, but 2 of the screws holding them in place broke. I just drilled out the center of the bracket and used a much larger screw. No problems since
Man i really!!!! Wish i had your skills
nice!
Thank you!
I got the big gun Evo slip-on exhaust and removed my air lid put a screen over my filter and got the big gun power box fuel controller and it made a big big difference it only costed around $600 for everything pipes and fuel controller power box maybe a little under 600. Oh yeah and the big gun fuel controller power box it comes pre-programmed for your ATV all you do is Plug and Play it's pretty simple you don't have to do nothing take it nowhere to get anything done. And those big gun pipes sound sick.. the fuel controller power box is the same as HMF they are exactly the same just different stickers
Nice! That's not too bad price wise. I might just have to do that
@@BetterDays I got them both on Amazon the slip-on Evo pipe says in the description 06 to 2019 but it fits perfect on my 2020 and I'm sure it will fit perfect on newer ones as well. they just forget to update their post a lot on Amazon
@@BetterDays on Amazon the fuel controller power box says it's for a 2019 or 2020 maybe just go to the official website it's $242 over there and will be exactly what you need because I'm not too sure about the Amazon one even though I think it will work I just don't want to tell you that
Hey brotha! Do you have a link for the intake by chance?
Here you go :)

😊 when you did your first oil change did you have gold small super small flakes in it
If I remember correctly there was a very mild glittery look to it, but nothing after the first oil change
EXEKLY
THANKS
@@BetterDays
Nice video! What's wrong with the stock tires? Do you have a link for the new tires? Lastly, How much was it for the 4 tires?
The stock tires are good enough for most riding but as soon as you hit mud they just spin without going anywhere. They also drift on wet grass. The tires I got grip a lot better on all terrain. $250 for the set of four and these will fit perfectly on the stock rims
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07SW8RC7Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
@@BetterDays I see, Thank you!!!
Nice work, stock sucks! Do you really need that many lights? I upgraded my stock lights with HID and they were plenty bright and doesn't add weight.
I definitely don't, I just love going overkill with lights. They weigh very little since they're aluminum and I think they look cool. Plus I can light up my entire backyard now like daylight 😎
Get a black plastic radiator cover. Rocky mountain has them in oem section pretty cheap
Thanks I'll look into that
Nice bro love the wrap….Are you gonna get a efi and exhaust next
Yeah that's the plan. I just want to break the engine in first before I mess with it
What are those nerf bars called??
They were some generic brand I bought on Amazon. I'd post the link but it looks like the item listing was removed since I bought them
Looks amazing!😍 what’s that thing called where you are placing the lights?
You mean the bumper? Or the bracket? Here's the link to the front bumper
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078XMYCLJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
The bracket came with the lights. They are called Nilights and there's a bunch of different size and mounting options, mine just use the curved plate mount.
@@BetterDays Yh the bumper, 😅sorry I forgot what it was called 😂and thanks the link!
@@dailybikes668 No problem! Glad I could help
me too same quad but no ride
Where do you get the parts
A mix between amazon, ebay and motosport.com although I can find links for the parts I used if you're looking to get any of these yourself
I just bought the same exact one
Nice! It's pretty fun huh?
Cool
Yes
What’s the difference between the 700 and 700r?
The 700r has better shocks and comes in different colors
were did u get those nerf bars
I got them on Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08YX3LQ31?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Just a heads up though when installing them one side was too long at the front so I had to cut the tube to get it to Otherwise these have held up great and they're plenty strong
Not a fan of that graphics kit kinda ruined the color of the quad. All in all love it. Waiting for my 2023 raptor R SE to come in. Have fun riding brother
Awesome video mane, not so much the American Pie tunes tho
Thanks! Good music is really hard to find without copyright issues 😂
Waiting for my 2022 at end of March carnt wait 🤪
I know the feeling. It's worth the wait though you're going to love it
@@BetterDaysnice
Love the lights but never wired them up myself. How hard is it and where did you run it?
It wasn't difficult at all. Most of the time was spent zip tying the wires in place. If you get a pre-made wiring harness for them all you have to do is connect to the battery, mount the switch, and then each light has a positive and negative wire to plug in. For my lights they didn't have the connector installed yet so I had to crimp those on but that took me maybe 5-10 minutes
What did you mount the bracket to the bar with? Also, are they wired to a switch?
I drilled holes and used sheet metal screws. The lights came with the curved metal bracket. There's a few options for Nilights but that seemed to be the best option. There's probably better ways to do it but that worked well enough for me. Just make sure you use large enough screws if you do it this way because the smaller ones I used initially ended up breaking a few while trail riding. I swapped them all for the thickest ones that would fit the bracket holes and haven't had a problem since.
And yes the wiring harness came with a switch built in. Just had to drill a hole in the body to mount it.
@@cmich3748 You can see the switch @10:00
@@BetterDays good deal. Do you have a link for the harness?
After how long is the engine broken in?
After about 20 hours of riding
make it wide like a yfz and put yoshimura exhast
I wish i had yamaha raptor =[
how much this thing coasts
$9000 USD
How much was this raptor?
Around $8500 from the dealer, all in add another $1k with the parts and the gas to drive to another state to get it
Where did you get those lights
They're called Nilights I got them on Amazon
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B081DTRC46/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07D5S1SF5/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nilight also sells many different types of wiring harnesses depending on how many lights you're installing to make it really easy to setup. The lights are pretty cheap but good quality and I've been using them on various projects for years now
Looks awesome but TO MANY LIGHTS🤣
Thanks! Haha yeah but I light up my back yard like the sun
DMC dual exhaust
I will look into that, thanks!
@@BetterDays a little on the expensive side but man does it sound good!
Wasn’t a fan during the transition - but it came out great in the end 🔥
Link to the bumper
Here you go. Unavailable at the moment but you could try searching for it elsewhere

I found nearly the same bumper here but in a different finish. Looks stronger than mine actually

Thanksbro
@@cautionontherun30 It's back in stock on Amazon if you're still looking to buy one

Lol old how? Either way I like it so I'm happy
Post
