Michael Jackson Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) A piped only shee should lose to a 700 Raptor by more than a bike in 300 foot.You either ride very well and the 700 guy doesn't, there is a huge weight difference, or the Raptor isn't setup and your bike is... maybe it should on paper.. whens the last time you rode a piped only banshee? you are too damn used to 100+hp so everything probably feels slow to you, i ride a piped banshee with a piped raptor 700 all the time, and they are no faster, now my friends banshee on the other hand, gets smoked, theres too many like that out there giving all the other good running piped shees a bad name, when were riding up in the hills, you see way more sick banshees go by that sound like crap than nice ones Edited June 2, 2008 by Michael Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've ridden and tuned more piped, air filter'd and jetted banshees then you...for a long time. Unless yamaha made some big changes from 87 to uh...now, I'm pretty sure I know what that feels like. Sorry MJ...obviously I'm not comparing my drag bike to a piped banshee. Don't think I forgot how one runs or feels like, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) of course you have. i know, dont be so defensive, im not trying to discredit you man.. but have you ridden one with a piped 700? thats all i was gettin at.. unless my friends runs like total shit, which it doesnt, ive ridden it many times, they arnt any faster in my experience, ill shut my mouth now before i get attacked by the bhq goon squad Edited June 2, 2008 by Michael Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko2000 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Im gonna have to through my opinion in here aswell, my boy has a 700 aswell, rode it a few times and i dont think it was that fast at all, he isnt the best rider so i was abusing him all day long, when i rode it i lined up with a few different 450's and i guess it held it own, but nothing special..me and the suzuki where neck to neck most of the time, also was only able to open up 4th if that means anything.. My shee has some porting and stock carbs +4 timing, and i walk all over the piped raptor, at the same time, they are quiclker than the 660 but still nothing crazy..just my .02cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorboy Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 OK i didnt want to start a WAR. I will have my pipes on this week and think i know where to start the jetting to be very close. Dont want mine to be one of the sick sounding shees out there. I will give him the best run i can if hes out this weekend and let everyone know how i did. I think if i loose it will still be a close run. wish me luck thanks for all the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 This is from the drag track at Haspin in Lowell Indiana. I smoked this guy all day (stock 700 raptor) and beat a piped one a few times the 450r beat the 700's to(it looked stock). Mods are as follows +5 timing .30 shaved head Toomey T-5 V3's K&N pod filters 28mm pwk's Think im blowing smoke here is a link vid the guy with the 450 posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Smoker Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 The 700's work pretty good man I think you might want a port job +4 timing advance on race fuel and plane the head let all the air out of your tires if you race him on dirt and start in second and lean back rev the shit out of your bike and dump the clutch - if you're light wear a big bookbag full of beer or something try to get him to race on pavement. In theory it'll be a good race but if u spin the whole time the 4 poke will haul out of the hole. The 700's work good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorboy Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 LOL if i lean back and start in 2nd gear ill be upside down. i have 22x12x9 bearclaw rear tires i still spin but front wheels are off the ground most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhughes7 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I had about every bolt on go fast part you can buy with no motor work, and piped raptors gave me fits. Ofcourse I weight 250lbs but like everyone else said, the 700's are no joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Im 295lbs. I dont have much trouble when I hook up. Ive been beat by more 700s than ive beat but where I ride hardly any of them are just piped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
