@@limitlesspowersports Hey I'm a new subscriber, I saw your comment on another video about the Yamaha dealership, anyway I literally just bought my new "2024 Yamaha Raptor 700R SE", I haven't picked it up yet because it just snowed out enough to leave the ditches wet/ or slushy/ or still has snow leftover in some spots & I don't want to get my brand new bike wet or dirty, & after watching your video I'm really glad that I made that decision to wait to pick it up because It would be extremely difficult to not take it for a rip or 2, but do you have any advice for me to make sure I do with or do to the bike before taking it for a rip? Obviously put some grease in some spots but this is the first brand new bike I've bought, I used to buy one that is just a year or 1.5 years old because chances are it will have a few bolt-ons, exhaust, suspension, etc but mine is also the "700R SE", so it already has upgraded suspension front & rear, GYTR PARTS & a front pull bar, & heal guards,...ect, so honestly I don't know if it would be stupid or smart to swap out the suspension because that is why it's costs about another 1,000$ is because of the aftermarket parts on the SE/= SPECIAL EDITION, SO I'd love any helpful advice/info, because I honestly don't know what all you should normally do with brand new bikes, so you would really be helping me out, & those handlebars look & seem like a game changer for jumps, having a little suspension to them at least sounds like a billion dollar idea! This is the first I've seen or heard about them but I wish I had them for my "DS-650 BAJA", That quad was an absolute beast, if you check out a video we made in the dunes called "DS-650 VS ALL", & we couldn't find anything that could beat it, it did have a little turbo & at least half of that bike was aftermarket, so we would give them the hit & I would gun it until they were already halfway up the dune, but that DS-650 BAJA Was like putting a crotch rocket motor in it, but it was the original motor well shell of the motor basically everything else was upgraded/ aftermarket, & you could hit 133mph on 1 block on any streets or Avenues, but then you would want another block to slow down more carefully lol, but love your videos & channel bro, keep up the great work & channel man!!! 100%!!!!!
Dude that thing is sweet! And makes me wonder what I’m in store for 😅 My motor build is almost done. 11:1 CP piston Stage 3 cam +3 throttle body PC6. She should cook!!
Nice build i have a very similar build but went standard travel housers but they are a amazing machine to play around on once set up right. Hope to see more videos of it
From seat to foot peg will it be lower with the suspension? I like the raptor because I sit up higher than my old yfz but I would like it to handle a little better if that means not sacrificing my comfort
@@codyswenson9078 Oh yeah?? you got the VIP pass haha. Yes we talked with rocket ron about elka legacy verse factory yamaha and landed on this is a budget full bolt on build and the Factory shocks may out perform elka legacy
Thanks 😎 black canister with the color logo that RP was able to work in for me. In the end it really pulled off the subtle theme. This is the full length canister so the tone is deep vs being more raspy sound. I would recommend it to anyone. The power is there 🤘
who did the tune for you? what kind of hp and tq numbers are you expecting for this? ive done a big 3 to my bike and its crazy how much it changes it, for the better. i considered going with a cam and a bigger TB but i dont want to ruin my machine for trail riding. where its at currently im riding mid to top of 2nd on most of our trails and its perfect!
I got the file for this one from Cuervo Racing. Highly recommended. Throttle response is spot on and power is there. No need to take this one to the Dyno. If you get used to the big 3 power the stage 3 cam on the Raptor has almost no bottom end loss. It gives you 3,000 rpm of useable power. If you look at the stock cam it stops making power around 6,000 rpm so you may as well shift to get back into the power range. With stage 3 it pulls all the way to redline.
How hard is it to do a cam swap on these vs a trx450r? I been out of the game for ~10 years but now i have a 22 raptor and want to do it up. Thanks for making the video! Also, are you anywhere close to middle TN in case i decide to pay someone else to do the work?
Not to bad on the stage 3 cam install. Leave the auto decomp in until you pull the cam out. That would have saved me 15 mins messing with it. Raptor uses tappet valves I would say they are easier than shim under bucket. I’m in Woodstock GA. Just hit me up on instagram
I put engine ice in it just because I had it on the shelf. With the right tune I would guess it runs cooler than stock. I don’t have a coolant temp gauge on it

You got it. New bike checks is actually a good video idea 👍 Grease a-arms, rear linkage, if you want to dig into the bike the dealer never adds grease to the upper steering stem. R vs SE is just the color. Gytr parts I like the metal heal guards, I would call the front bumper an upgrade. Shock difference is 700 vs 700 r /r se. The fronts on the R are piggy back & fully adjustable low, high compression, rebound. 700 has no piggy back. The rear on the 700 is high compression and rebound adjustable. 700r got the low speed compression adjustment as well as a black body. As far as upgrades. Enjoy it! Keep up with maintenance is best mod you can do. I have a Raptor maintenance video in the making. First mod? Maybe tires I use GBC. Adjust factory suspension for your weight, precision steering damper. As far as the flex bars they do help, precision racing sells flex clamps that are pretty popular as well.
Rear I would say is 3/4 lower with Hess linkage but also you need to work closely with your shock guy to make sure the set up is spot on. I went with Rocket Ron & told him this is a weekend fun XC - sand machine set up for 165#. Fully set up this Raptor is wider than yfz 450r and the ride height is almost even. Rocket Ron is a Hess dealer! Grab the Hess link from him
Just some internet math 🧮 Raptor engine weights close to 100lbs roughly 40lbs heavier than the 450r engine. Then factor in the raptor holds more oil, and more fuel 😅
@limitlesspowersports yeah, I had no idea four stroke engines weighed that much. I just did a top end and leak down test. She's all sealed up and ready to go back in a freshly powdercoated frame. I lightened the frame, and I'm using a lot of lighter aftermarket parts on this build.
Got this one off a used Raptor 700r that came in. To me it looks like one of the $80 covers off eBay. The o-ring seems to fit good and no leaks so far.

These machines have so much potential its crazy. I want to add the big 3 to minde one day
Nice build man!
My guy, I would like to see the full process of everything without the skipping parts. Nice video though
Thanks for the feed back! I had around 10hrs of footage on this one. I am still fine tuning my story telling skills. Thanks for watching!

The Houser XC width was temping but I am thinking this will be my Dune machine as well, So the wider stance I am hoping will pay off

Was the riding video at iron mountain in Georgia? That overlook and tunnel looks awfully familiar

@@limitlesspowersports nice! We’ve been going there since they first opened. Did you use yfz450 front shocks?

Is there anyway you can make a video on how you did the alignment? I added arms on my 700 and there slicks now and I mostly do wheelies lol

i have a couple questions. Whenever you put the new cam , exhaust and tuner . How does it run for long distance? Will it run hot eventually?
I put engine ice in it just because I had it on the shelf. With the right tune I would guess it runs cooler than stock. I don’t have a coolant temp gauge on it

Do you recommend the RP Race exhaust? or should I go for the Curtis Sparks X6? thanks!
The RP race sounds really good. I did the full length so it’s not as loud. The sparks exhaust is usually pretty aggressive
How much lower was the rear with the new shock linkage wish bone ? How much $ what brand id like to get one
Rear I would say is 3/4 lower with Hess linkage but also you need to work closely with your shock guy to make sure the set up is spot on.

What brand of seat cover are you running? Might wanna rock the same;)
Always Fourwerx custom seat covers 😎 black cover, black logo
Where can I get this exhaust ?
Hey, I am a dealer for RP Race. You can email or call RP race for the specs to get exactly what you want 👍
@@limitlesspowersports send me your email
How heavy is the 700 engine? Anybody ever weight one?
Just some internet math 🧮 Raptor engine weights close to 100lbs roughly 40lbs heavier than the 450r engine. Then factor in the raptor holds more oil, and more fuel 😅
thank you for the answer. I'm trying to balance the weight of my banchee engine and compare it to the weight of modern four strokes
@@Floridawoodsbanshee Nice! I think you will for sure come in well under a modern 4 stroke.
@limitlesspowersports yeah, I had no idea four stroke engines weighed that much. I just did a top end and leak down test. She's all sealed up and ready to go back in a freshly powdercoated frame.
I lightened the frame, and I'm using a lot of lighter aftermarket parts on this build.
@limitlesspowersports I think I will buy a scale and try to measure the overall weight of the bike. Would be cool to have it well under 400 lbs.
What can cover you got there?
Got this one off a used Raptor 700r that came in. To me it looks like one of the $80 covers off eBay. The o-ring seems to fit good and no leaks so far.
