Five Reasons Not To Buy a Yamaha Raptor 700R

No way i bought a 2021 for 8,750.00 cash

And don’t hold your breathe on the slipper clutch

If you thinks that expensive go buy any KTM my 350 was 13,850 out the door

my 2008 is still as new and i can put 3 people on it

Lol throw your ass around legs an calves shift the weight

Number one reason not to buy it because you will become extremely addicted to it!

In California, got my 2022 700r se for 14,389.89 exactly shits expensive.

Aside from reason 3, the only other legitimate reason to not buy one which i dont know how you missed is the discontinuation of a digital speedometer, considering how many states and local municipalities are now legalizing atv use on roadways i'm surprised that the fed govt hasnt mandated them to be built with speedometers and turnsignals

I just found a 2007 Orange one in the woods and basically with some elbow grease I got it running 3 days later

Five reasons. Small balls, girlie tendencies, cross dresser, easiliy alarmed, tends to get offended.

Dude! Are you for real? Those are the dumbest reasons ever! You sound like those who complain that things weren't made for you. If the plastic was harder, in the event that the bike rolls, the plastic would break the you'd buy new plastic each time. If you don't like that it's top heavy, adjust the ride height. If you don't want to adjust it, get a 450.

You honestly sound like you an mx rider who brought the enduro bike to the track

I had straight pipe exhaust that had inserts to change both power and loudness pretty much. Wide open was earthshaking but also made it wicked fast with the programmer.

Yamaha junk straight up

There is NO reason not to buy one. Go fk a 🐐. 😜 still have my 08.

Luckily Oregon doesn’t have a sale tax 😂

How come you didn't rev it a bit when you started it?? Would have been easy enough and given much more understanding to the viewer. Nobody really cares what it sounds like at IDLE but more important is the sound when riding with a few revs under its belt. Time for a vid re-do?

Sounds like you got some work to do

Well if your light weight , lower the suspension i did on my 2018 yz250f and it makes a world of difference for slow riding and turning . Lower the center of gravity and learn to lean , its a quad

the blue plastic is notorious for the white streaks which , if its your 4th one why buy another?

You could put wheel spacers on there to widen it up.

thanks bro

You must have never owned a banshee

The tree's really. Take your car or truck and see what the tree's do to it. The clutch I do agree with you on that

Go with a different color? Maybe try washing it with lukewarm water ? Maybe order a different color you like from oem??? You’re welcome

Had my 2011 from new and still love it. Reliable, easy to maintain yourself, and perfect for the long distance enduro riding my club does here in the Aussie bush. Lost count of how many other bikes I've towed back to camp.

This Mann really made a video telling five reason not to buy a raptor 😂😂😂.. so what he expect gonna change after this ? So what do you want people to buy ? A damn grizzly 😂😂hell nawl

If you love it why make this video?

ur gonna usly get a scuff first ride in the woods like come one bro

it’s plastic

well yea bro it’s not a aarmed raptor bud

Clutch throw length is 100% completely adjustable don’t like where it’s at adjusted it at the lever first, and then the motor if it’s still too far

Legitimate reasons not to buy the 700:
It’s RWD which means is not great for rocky and steep terrain
The rear suspension is not fully independent so it is not as comfortable
There’s no room for cargo or additional fuel

Does the 2008 700r have fully adjustable suspension?

If you want a good sounding exhaust without being absurdly loud go with the yoshimura RS2. I have one on my 2018 yfz450r that’s street legal here in West Virginia and I haven’t gotten any complaints or pulled over by the cops for it being to loud but it does sound pretty good!

You forgot the "unboxing and assembly fees and on top of ALL those fees they make sure they tax you".. more like 13,500-14,000 OTD. I just bought mine.

What ???? Ok so why did u buy it if it's too much ? And it's and atv / ya ride off road it's gonna scratch lol.. and the white marks are from the fender being bent .. heat gun will turn it back to blue .. ya crazy man

My 2017 se i bought with 5 hours on it is a cunt none of the zirk fittings take grease it coughs Ana stalls all the time I have a pc5 and a gytr pipe on it did the poor mans big 3 toss the airbox lid and the bike will go anywhere it’s a great sand dune only bike for me it does trails and hill climbs no problem another problem in my area you can’t find a good mechanic so too have to fix everything you’re self other that it’s a good bike minus it’s expensive af I got it before they went up to 14 k plus dealer fees out the door here in Oregon

Lol…yea tho’s are def a stretch for not to own one. I think some ppl misinterpreted the vid…doesn’t mean you hate the raptor. I can think of one more…not for beginners. I would never put my wife on a raptor to learn. I have a Z400, but would love to step up to a Raptor. I rode a 660 once like 20yrs ago, but that was it.

I just bought one 2 days ago got it for $10,017

Best quad ever made! Use a heat gun to remove the white from plastics. Use the heat gun gently and be careful not to melt the plastic.

I love my raptor it definitely pays for its self in easy maintenance an reliability an the power never gets old . An you are right about the plastics they skuff up easy.

What type of coolant should i use for mine

That’s a rollover mark

Dude don't know how to ride the daddy of all four-wheelers

your funny.i the easyest quad to ride we own 3

You look to be about 180-190ish pounds. Try this suspension setup. It's what I use and there is zero bump steer, walk, etc. Works fantastically!

Front- Rebound- 9 out, Compression- 18 out
Rear- Rebound- 6 out, Compression- 14 out

Yfz450 better

Honestly a bit of a waste of time watching this I think you’re probably a good dude so I feel bad shitting on your posts but tbh this ain’t it
