Nice machine. Take great care of it! Keep it clean & in top working condition. Use best engine oils. They may discontinue after '21 sadly. I grabbed a '21 700R-SE.
Absolutely adore my '21 Raptor 700R-SE! Only added the GYTR intake kit (air filter is small). The machine is near perfect stock! Maybe a slip on Yoshimura or Big Gun exhaust next but thats it folks! Needs nothing. #Maxima #Fox
that is an awsome piece of machinery. I love seeing the bigger bore quads. don't get me wrong the 450s are amazing but that's all you see these days. keep up the awsome!
your test rider is a beast! he is as fast on a atc 250r as on a quad! I wish you would do a test between the 88/89 fourtrax 250R vs. some of these new sport quads.. LONG LIVE THE FOURTRAX 250R!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob greatly appreciates your complements on his riding. Yes, he can ride a trike nearly as fast as a quad. He can also toss around a dirt bike. We would love to to a few features on a TRX250R however purchasing one to restore and test will cost around $3,500. We will get around to getting one hopefully sooner rather than later. By the way, what kind of mountain bike is that you have?
+ATVonDemand yeah, rob is fun to watch. my sad of vehicles is as follows: quad- 2007 trx 400ex, ( I dream of an 88 250r, but there is no where to ride in Massachusetts) street- 2006 Ducati S2r 800 mountain bikes - 1998 GT Backwoods ( hardtail) - 2015 GT Sensor Al Comp ( full suspension) I have been mountain biking a lot since every time I fire up my quad, someone calls the cops. I dream of having legal places to ride like you guys do....
+ATVonDemand seems like you could poke around the R forums and find a small aftermarket business to give you a loaner in return for promotion. A proper test to teach us old farts a lesson or better yet educate the kids that atv's really did reach perfection 25 years ago!
+ATVonDemand that Honda 250r motor is the best off road motor ever made. just the sound of it makes me happy. I remember the day I put a DG type 2 silencer and kicked it over for the first time. amazing. the 3rd best sound on earth.
my country Nigeria will welcome Yamaha ATV. all ranges of such products Yamaha always have the best I wish Yamaha successful Dakar rally 2017 blessings victory is yours
And once again you nailed it! great video. I wish I could afford myself 16' model. the most informative channel for ATVs. I think and you need to create more 'How to' videos for quad maintenance and etc
Mr. Hason, we appreciate the positive feedback! We will look into doing more short maintenance videos in the future. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
We're happy you take the time to watch and comment. If you like the sport ATV segment, we have plenty more coming your way over the next six months. YFZ450R VS Raptor 700R coming this summer. If you haven't , subscribe and you won't miss it.
With an intake, exhaust, and fuel programmer the Raptor gets a big gain in performance. Make sure ou get a fuel manager to go with your intake and exhaust.
I've got an '07, it's got tons of power and insane speed for nice trails like the ones in the video. If you plan on mudding more than trail riding get the Grizzly or Kodiak. The Raptor doesn't do great in mud or deeper water.
Kyle M. correct you are. Someone pointed that out way early on in the comments. the sad thing is we knew it. When you recording of voice-overs sometimes the words just come out wrong. thanks for paying that much attention. I don't think we make mistakes that often.
I was just making sure the viewers knew! I wasn't in anyway criticizing the video! Easy mistake to make especially with all the content you guys pump out. Keep it up!
Yamaha is boss my favorite brand of dirt toys next to Honda but all in Raptor 700r fucking BEAST wonder what's next for 2017 another BEAST lol hell yeah.
All ur videos are making me want to get a quad so bad, I’ve always been an MX guy but I’m changing ha! I really want a KFX450 seems like a great bike. Nothing to do with this video sorry but just wanted to say that :)
Come on over to the dark side. Ride any color ATV you like. We don't discriminate. We have a few videos on the Kawasaki. Heck, you can even own a dirt bike and an ATV. Your dirt bike friends might look at you funny but we enjoy both.
I have a question I have a 2017 Raptor 700r fully stock I'm saving up for a full exhaust now. But I have a power commander v with the stock map loaded. If I go ahead and put it on will it help it or hurt it?
is the front end to heavy for stunts? I'm 13 and I have always done stunts on a kawasaki kfx 90 but I'm looking for a new, updated quad. I'm thinking about either this or the yfz 450.
While we can't recommend this or a 450cc ATV to any rider under 16 in order to keep ourselves and Yamaha out of trouble, if we were looking for an ATV for stunt riding/freestyle we would want the lightest machine possible.
We could easily flip any off-road vehicle. That being said, the Raptor is a pretty stable and predictable machine . We really enjoy its out of the box handling. We have not problem cruising or flying on the Raptor. Practice and work your way up. The Raptor is great.
I have a 2004 yfz 450 and i am having the same problem with the plastic being scratched by my boots, so i was wondering what to do to either fix the scratches or what to put there to stop that from happening
Well, we are giving this thought as well. Maybe we should make a video on this subject. There are things you can apply to diminish the look of the scratches prior to riding. PC Plastic Renew helps get rid of scratches. Over the boot pants will help prevent deep scratches in the plastic. FTR Powersports make graphics that cover the lower rear fenders that add protection.
I have the 2014 700R version. Im about to do some upgrades to it (734cc 11:1 kit, stage 2 cams, PCV/w auto tuner, dual dasa full exhausts, and FCI with box) how much power should I expect from that?
+Kyle Swizy your information is incorrect just a big 3 with monsterpipe will get you around 55hp, if you add a 47mm throttlebody and a hotcam stage 3 you are looking at 60hp.......
Most of this test was filmed on private property in Northern Kentucky if you are referring to the part where the motocross track is near the railroad tracks.
If the air box and exhaust system makes the quad better they should come out of the factory like that would like Yamaha to take back the banchee 2 stroke ? KTM are still selling 2stroke bike's today can't see why Yamaha can't aswell
Toward the end of the video you said "we would like to see a 49 or 50 inch raptor" didn't Yamaha start making the raptor starting in 2011 with a 50 inch wheelbase? Also I am in the market right now for a nice used raptor 700/700r, the 2016 is beautiful but way out of my price range so I am looking to purchase between 2011 and 2014. If given the choice between those four, years which would be your Choice and why? Thanks for the great in-depth videos you guys make and any information you would be able to offer would be greatly appreciated.
We referring to wishing Yamaha would build a Raptor between 49 and 50 inches wide. Yes, it has a wheelbase in the 50" range but the stock width is listed at 45.5". Another four inches in width would add another level of stability in corners and side-hills. Its not that the current model is unstable, in fact it handles quite well. All of the years share the same width and length, if we're not mistaken. That being said, The 2014 received some updates missing from the 2011. You can go watch our review of the 2013 model for the full list of updates. The 2013 updates weren't total game changers so we'd go with which ever machine is in better condition. Given the option between a model with fully adjustable front shocks, or the more basic non-adjustable ones found on some 700 models, we'd try to get a model with fully adjustable shocks. If you take the time to adjust them, you can really dial in the ride. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to hit us back.
What's 1/2" among friends. I assumed you measured your machine which may have turned out a little different than Yamaha's measurement. We weren't trying to correct you.
05ALT me to. It's fast but not snowmobile fast haha. you'll be ok starting out on a raptor. Buy the time you break it in you will have gotten comfortable with the machine. ever owned a motor bike before?
im sure it wud be very imformative apart from the annoying racket in the background makes it impossible to listen to the guy so cut the music fellas its shite anyway then itd be good video

Best all round sport quad ever. I own a 2007 Raptor 700 SE and it's still a great bike, the new ones are even better!!
I love my 15 Raptor... I run the big gun full exhaust and it sounds amazing
Nice machine. Take great care of it! Keep it clean & in top working condition. Use best engine oils. They may discontinue after '21 sadly. I grabbed a '21 700R-SE.
Good thing they didnt @Davido50
Rob Ray is awesome! Especially on his 3-wheelers!
Rob appreciates that!
Absolutely adore my '21 Raptor 700R-SE! Only added the GYTR intake kit (air filter is small). The machine is near perfect stock! Maybe a slip on Yoshimura or Big Gun exhaust next but thats it folks! Needs nothing. #Maxima #Fox
Add a steering stabilizer and you will ride it a lot faster.
Does it seem to flip easy when going round corners?
that is an awsome piece of machinery. I love seeing the bigger bore quads. don't get me wrong the 450s are amazing but that's all you see these days. keep up the awsome!
We love the big-bores as well. Easier to ride fast or slow than the 450s and longer lasting with less maintenance. We have more 700 videos coming .
your test rider is a beast! he is as fast on a atc 250r as on a quad! I wish you would do a test between the 88/89 fourtrax 250R vs. some of these new sport quads.. LONG LIVE THE FOURTRAX 250R!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just ordered a new intake with my new exhaust!(:

DO THE BANSHEE PLS
I've got an '07, it's got tons of power and insane speed for nice trails like the ones in the video. If you plan on mudding more than trail riding get the Grizzly or Kodiak. The Raptor doesn't do great in mud or deeper water.
The raptor 700 is a SOHC not DOHC just so no one gets confused. I think the yfz450's are DOHC though
Kyle M. correct you are. Someone pointed that out way early on in the comments. the sad thing is we knew it. When you recording of voice-overs sometimes the words just come out wrong. thanks for paying that much attention. I don't think we make mistakes that often.

Kyle M. no offense taken at all. good looking out.
I just caught that too and was gonna comment. Always fun to talk to fellow motor heads!
many people will love if you do a Polaris Phoenix 200 review many people over look it but I love mine with a after market exhaust they arnt that bad
Take good care of her
Yamaha is boss my favorite brand of dirt toys next to Honda but all in Raptor 700r fucking BEAST wonder what's next for 2017 another BEAST lol hell yeah.
Bg8 B I love hondas for their reliability but the yamaha just kills in looks and power.
Ouais rapport de rêves trop cool ça déchire
Thanks for the video. Good work.
Thanks for watching.
please make a video how to ajust the front and rear shocks

yamaha o yesss.....
waiting so much to see this!
Glad we could deliver. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss all the other sport ATV tests/projects we have coming over the next six months.
It looks amazing.
good coment and nice test ride ;)
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
God bless spread his word!
Just picked this quad up in a trade , runs awesome . Are the motors pretty reliable ?
3Gunner oh yea. Change oil every 5-6hrs riding. Use Yamaha or K&N filters. Yamalube motor oil.
I have a question I have a 2017 Raptor 700r fully stock I'm saving up for a full exhaust now. But I have a power commander v with the stock map loaded. If I go ahead and put it on will it help it or hurt it?
that should be just fine to do. but i would find a map and also pop off the airbox lid and pull the plug out the the exhaust while you are at it ;)
is the front end to heavy for stunts? I'm 13 and I have always done stunts on a kawasaki kfx 90 but I'm looking for a new, updated quad. I'm thinking about either this or the yfz 450.

more like a raptor 250
you should do a model of the trx700xx
I miss mine
Not sure if you miss yours or kiss yours? Either way, we could understand both.
A ste slovenci?
Dobro voziš
1st! This quad is beautiful......
combien son prix ?
Is it easy to flip the 700 while on a trail going around a corner at a decent speed? Same for on the track
We could easily flip any off-road vehicle. That being said, the Raptor is a pretty stable and predictable machine . We really enjoy its out of the box handling. We have not problem cruising or flying on the Raptor. Practice and work your way up. The Raptor is great.
@@ATVonDemand Thanks guys! Hopefully I can get one before summer to ride with my friends
To bad Yamaha does not put their FZ 07 twin engine in the good looking Raptor. Wonder how hard it would be to swap one in?
I have a 2004 yfz 450 and i am having the same problem with the plastic being scratched by my boots, so i was wondering what to do to either fix the scratches or what to put there to stop that from happening

I have the 2014 700R version. Im about to do some upgrades to it (734cc 11:1 kit, stage 2 cams, PCV/w auto tuner, dual dasa full exhausts, and FCI with box) how much power should I expect from that?
Probably high 60's with no port work
How much power is your motor builder claiming it will put out with that setup? Who is your motor builder?
I bought the Big 3 from tqsatv. The big bore kit is from Niche industries (JE). Nothing on the product page about performance numbers
Should've went with monsterquad big 3, wouldve pushed mid 70's probably higher
+Kyle Swizy
your information is incorrect just a big 3 with monsterpipe will get you around 55hp, if you add a 47mm throttlebody and a hotcam stage 3 you are looking at 60hp.......
Are you sure it’s a double overhead cam??
Nope we misspoke.
Combien le prix de la moto, il est un grand
Dude is rippin that mf!
WHERE ARE YOU RIDING?
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE !!!
Most of this test was filmed on private property in Northern Kentucky if you are referring to the part where the motocross track is near the railroad tracks.
Ohio
If the air box and exhaust system makes the quad better they should come out of the factory like that would like Yamaha to take back the banchee 2 stroke ? KTM are still selling 2stroke bike's today can't see why Yamaha can't aswell
darrin goodbrand they wouldn't be able to pass emissions.
If yamaha would make the raptor 700cc and DOHC that would make every one happy.

Haha... that's ok, feel free to correct me when I'm wrong (:
I'm too lazy to measured mine :P
The Raptor 700 still only has a single overhead cam not DOHC.
Yes, we have already addressed this comment elsewhere below.
Nigerians will appreciate if Yamaha raptor trade in our we will love honestly your products available thank you very much.
Would you guys recommend this quad to a new quad rider?
05ALT depends on what age rider it's for.
Hahatrumpwon Fucklibtards 31 year old
05ALT me to. It's fast but not snowmobile fast haha. you'll be ok starting out on a raptor. Buy the time you break it in you will have gotten comfortable with the machine. ever owned a motor bike before?
I own a kx250 and ive rode quads before just not consistantly
17 Y.O.
How much does it cost to buy
joshua danjin Too much haha but to answer your question they start out at about 9k, at least when they first came out. It might be cheaper now.
10 Grand ...fuckkk i wish i had that type of money ..well theres always financing..
Dope quad. wish it was a 2 stroke
This quad bike is road leagle isnt it ????
Not in our neck of the woods.
Louismx 33 In some states you can get them street legal.
im sure it wud be very imformative apart from the annoying racket in the background makes it impossible to listen to the guy so cut the music fellas its shite anyway then itd be good video
Kiss mine
Nah.
