I'd like to know the true weight of a raptor 700. Maybe 400lbs?.. and if so my machine is definately over 900lbs with all my gear and I beat 2 different 700's, one with a pipe and controller, and 1 stock. What a powerhouse of a motor i'm sittin on! buuuu-yaaaaaaa!
I weighed my raptor. it weighed about 400-410 I can't remember exactly.
it makes 50 rwhp/49 tq. stock motor with MSD timing and fuel and a biggun pipe. Most make 43-45 rwhp
we'll have to get a drag going. see if you can beat my raptor. it's a quick little basstard out of the hole but it wont beat my renegade.
figure it this way.
for every 40 pounds weight you carry, you basically LOOSE 1 rwhp.
so if you weigh in at 900 pounds and make 62 rwhp. to see if you are competitive with a raptor you have a 500+ pound mass to move. that = you are loosing compared to the raptor about -12.5 rwhp (or concider the raptor gaining this advantage) NOT COUNTING RIDER WEIGHT!!
that puts you damn close to what a 50 rwhp raptor will run, but you have the ease of perfect holeshot and never miss a gear.
