barrybaines Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 No damages alowed on this one for a while at least! Thanks for the replies too guys haven't stopped grinning since picking it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Now you have to buy all the extra bits to make it more powerful and snappy, so it leeps about and you are left behind on anything more than 1/4 throttle. Barry the flag!!!. If a 250 is good enough for Mr Grip himself then some of us should have a 200? (sorry an old and tired debate just like me). You keep that looking like that for 4 weeks or more then you are not trying you woose. Well done barry it looks loved? See you over our way soon or in wales? Nice.

spud Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thought I'd have a quick bounce around on the drive and I honestly can not beleive the differance between this and my 04! Beta have seemingly taken cheating too a whole new level! surely nothing should be that good too ride? (apart from a decent bird of course ) Probably has something ( a lot) too do with the set up too Barry, hows your bikes suspension set up? Could you (when you have a moment) have a look at the settings and report back. Has your bike still got the fast action throttle and do you think its worth changing the footpegs? I've been looking at the pegs on the Gas Gas and they look like they would fit and i suspect they would be a lot cheaper than a set of raptors.

barrybaines Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Just quickly (not gonna mess about too much yet) but the forks preload adjuster is flush with the fork leg and the rear spring is wound up only about 5mm from the bottom, so it's nice and soft like I said I'm not gonna start playing with the rebound too find where it is as I'm out on it tomorrow As for the pegs the ones on there do feel nice and stable and grippy enough but I'm sure would fill with mud in no time. Personally after all the great response from people on the Raptors have put an order in for a set but as said on another thread about pegs used too have Trialcast ones which are absolutley faultless.... I'm just a bit of a tart and fancied some bling whenever they turn up! Fast action throttle fitted and shall be staying on there as I am used too this set up from my previous bike (although this one is much pokier yet silky smooth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
