Thanks for the reply. How do you like your raptor compared to your KFX?

 

i got a modded 700 with low hrs on it for sale..

 

No.

Stick with the 660.

It's good enough.

Sorry, I figure someone has to have a different opinion than the masses.

 

No.
It's good enough.

For some of us "good enough" just doesn't cut it

 

the kfx doesnt even compare....but is fun to throw around...a bit lighter.....but i would buy another 700 in a heart beat....

 

I was in your shoes almost two years ago. I had an '04 raptor 660 with some mods done. But it still didn't handle for crap and I didn't want to dump thousands into it to make it handle better. I ended up selling my 660 and put that money down on a 700. In the end, it costed me $2500 to get the 700. I have zero regrets on that decision I made two years ago. If you are in doubt, find someone that has one and see if they will let you test it out. There is quite a difference between them.

 

I had both, sold the 660 soon after i bought the 700, it doesn't compare

 

I too come from an 03 660r...and an 04 yfz450.....if you took the best about both of them and blended it together, thats the 700! Best quad I have owned yet!

 

seven hundee no doubt

 

Absolutely go with the 700. It is that much better.

 

The Wife got her 700 first. . . couldn't wait to sell the 660. I (we actually) hated those carbs on the 660.

I got mine a little over a year ago (coming from a heavily modified DS650). I don't have the power I had in my DS but, I have enough. This ATV is much more nimble and a lot lighter.

The Fuel Injection on the 700 is awesome. I'll never go back to a carb.

 

Thanks for all the responses. I need to replace the bearing in the a-arms, and I thought it would be a good time to get +2s. I'll probably just replace the bearings and call it good. I'll be looking harder at the 700 once the Supermoto is paid off... soon!!

 

i'm kind of in the same situation as you, but it's a toss up between 700 rappy and yfz for me. It all depends if i can sell my bike, if i can ill get a used 700 at my dealer, if i can't ill trade it in for a new yfz
Good Luck on whatever you do!

 

i got a used 700 for you guys. check out the green and black one on www.bandndesigns.com
loaded with mods but has low hrs on the mods.. maybe 15hrs

 

ok man, that bike is badass... but i wanna stay local.

 

How is the handling compared to the 660? I went to the dunes once and rode a friend's stock Z400. Both my 660 and the Z had 8 paddle haulers. The Z400 handles better and was WAY easier to slide around. This surprised me due to the difference in power. Does the 700 like to pitch sideways in the sand a lot more than the 660?

 

No, the 700 is a MUCH better ride than the 660. The 700's chassis was based off of the yfz, and it shows why.

 

Oh yea, alot of people don't mention this.... but IMO I think the best upgrade from the 660 to the 700 is the brakes

 

Thanks for the insight. I think I found my next quad! How do you think a stock 700 will compare in terms of power with a 660 with the LRD full system and K&N intake?

 

not even to compare it to. I was killing my 3 buddies with their basic modded 660s when mine was stock. When the pcIII and pro design went on it was really not even fun anymore to race them. Now with the 11:1, duals, hc stg 2, and +2 swinger i will just mess with them and mis shift on purpose and still get them..lol

 

My only concern about getting a 700 is.... well, i'm still a youngin and don't have the cash money to afford one, so yes i need a loan. And when school starts thats part time work then. For me to do mods on a 700, i need pc3, $250+vs $50 jet kit for yfz. That is a big thing for me. May seem dumb to you guys, but it's a difference for me.

 

gotta pay to play

 

yah, i know. Hell wit it! I'm just gonna flip a coin, best outta 5 tries... that will be my choice between 700 and yfz.
