Sep 29, 2008 · 700 is the perfect cross between the yfz and 700. Its FAR more comfortable, has twice the power down low....and of course reverse, FI and such. If you are out to build up a motor, you can do FAR more things to the 700 that actually make a substantial difference. I am a woods racer...the 700 suits me perfect. Has a lot longer legs and twice the ...

Mar 2, 2009 · The 700 is more comfortable and has more creature comforts built in. The 450 though, you can make into a very light/agile missle on the track. I was a big 450 guy myself. Started off with a warrior, then banshee, then 660, then 450 than 700....gone threw em all. 450 was hands down my favorite till the 700 came out.

Jan 24, 2024 · 700s are totally different from 660s. Almost no interchanging parts. The 700 front end is identical parts to yfz450. They handle so much better than a 660, plus you have all that power that is impossible to get out of a 450. For dunes, it’s a no-brainer, 700.

May 2, 2012 · Also the 700 raptors have EFI (electronic fuel injection) and you never have to do anything to adjust it. You can ride in the mountains to the plains without it running like shit. YFZ you have to tune and adjust Get a raptor 700. YFZ's are awesome don’t get me wrong - but the Raptor is a better Machine and they cost about the same

Jul 9, 2009 · To me the 700 was the PERFECT blend of my old 03 660 raptor, and my 04 yfz450. Just doesnt get much better. I have owned all the yamaha sport line now from the warrior and banshee 350's to the 700 and the 700 with an overall scoring/grading is without a doubt my favorite quad yet.

Aug 6, 2008 · Yes 04/05 YFZ the tierod ends had a smaller thread where they screw into the tierods.Lot of complaints of breaking them so they went bigger.They will still fit fine.Is really nice having interchangeable parts.I unfortunately needed a a-arm on two occasions and plenty of YFZ ones around cheap.Darn trees are fast!

Sep 18, 2009 · I have both a 700 and yfz450 and the yfz works harder at higher speeds than the raptor. The yfz450 is more of a mx/race quad than the raptor is stock for stock. I run a bigger front sprocket on my yfz and I noticed alot of low end torque …

Apr 9, 2008 · but just for fun, my jetted piped intake yfz on a tiny bit of spray makes high comp cammed 700's look like stockers 2007 Bill Ballance YFZ450 22-11-8 7 paddle haulers

Feb 13, 2008 · The fact is... the YFZ has a better power to weight ratio. Last year I ran my 3 mod Raptor against a YFZ with a slip on pipe, the usual cam mod and an intake... I ran 5.51 and he ran 5.43ish. In drag racing terms... he spanked me. You have to remember... the YFZ is Yamahas race quad... the 700 is the trail quad. Those of you who have smoked a ...

Oct 25, 2011 · The 04-08 YFZ's and the Raptors have the same travel and same coil spring length (10") the 1/4" difference eye to eye is in the bottom mount of the shock (Raptors is 1/4" longer), The YFZ450X shocks will work and are great (I just put them on one of my Raptor's) but your ball joints bottom before the shock will, to be safe you can have the ...
