Coworker of my brother used to race YZF450R quad in sanctioned races. Thing was so hopped up, he left black patches in the parking lot through 4th gear on launch. Pipe was so strong the blast was blowing sand and rocks off the ground. Almost nothing on it was stock. I never saw the shenanigans he did around the workplace but I did travel locally to a track race where he raced. He actually didn't place that well, but it was awesome to see that thing rip the doubles and blow by, pipe roaring. Take off was amazing. Probably a short life and high maintenance 450.
It's so awesome to see how great the footage of me and the guys turned out! Once again great job on the video and I can't wait to see more. It was awesome getting to ride with you and I can't wait to do it again! Thanks for the shout-outs as well!
We've had the rainiest summer here in west MI that I can remember. Usually we have grass brown out for most of July and August, and this year it lasted maybe two weeks. The near record high levels of the Great Lakes tells the story. Glad to see you had a good time and was worth the drive from Mankato. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Great job capturing the essence of Silver Lake, can’t wait to see the next one! It’s awesome to see you riding in our neck of the woods. Michigan has a lot to offer for riding options.
Came up riding racing and wrencning on 250Rs. Had red bone stock 86, a blue bone stock 87, and a highly modified 88. Loved em all. Best bang for buck is to spend 20 bucks on a reed cage spacer. Major difference throughout the powerband especially low to mid. Makes the front end a lot lighter for trail riding
You REALLY need to put Glamis Thanksgiving or New Years on your radar..The Day & Night spectacle, the abundance of high dollar machinery and unlimited high speed large dune riding is like no other place on earth 🌎
Again with a great video. But this time brings back good memories.. there is not a whole lot that is more satisfying then two strokes battling it out.....

Man i gta plan a dune trip someday it looked killer and wow all those tricked out 250r’s and the banshees and that custom quad w the gsxr 1000 engine some cools stuff I think the dude w that gsxr engine needs a wider stance in the rear seemed like he was way to narrow for getting hooked up good Great vid pete!

They didn't check decibels. I've been told they will if your machine is obviously off the charts lol. I'm assuming the limit on paper is 98db's or something but they aren't too strict about the sound. The main thing they check for is registration and a spark arrestor
Man I just went out there this past weekend, was soooo choppy and whooped out, absolutely no drag racing going on and tons of puddles.. there were some really really steep hills though that were nice !
Im in Mankato for the next week, wish I had the quad with me, it would be fun to meet up and hit some trails or in the case of southern MN the ditches lol
Wow that was so cool seeing all those 250r's and that warrior jumping I traded my kx250 for a warrior but I had to give the warrior back because it was stolen witch sucks but i got the 250 back. Great video pete
Ride*907 AK sorry I missed your comment! I didn’t relocate my key. My dealer did. I know the ignition should have a back plate that separates, I would do a google search!
You don't "have" to upgrade the intake. Obviously doing a fully balanced aftermarket set up with the big 3 and dyno tuning is optimal performance route but it also costs considerably more and this never been about making peak power. Next week the quad is getting a new intake, new exhaust, and is being dyno tuned. I'm not made of money and have to pick my battles. I didn't have a reliable tuner recommended to me at the time so decision was made to keep the factory intake until now.
I have the Pro Taper Contour in the ATV mid bend. It's quite a bit lower than the stock handlebar height. I'm only 5'10" and they work pretty good for me. I wanted lower bars so I could stand over the quad easier. If you like your bar height you're gonna want to go for the Raptor bend. Otherwise you could try ATV high bend.
Man the Banshee at 7:10 was gone nothing like a twin cylinder Yamaha dam making me want fire up the Yamaha Raptor 660r 600 hybrid and Rip I've been trying to get my brother out on his big bore 400ex but we work different schedule's and have different days off
I had an HMF exhaust for this trip. The other red 2019 Raptor from this trip was running the stock exhaust. My machine is currently getting a bit of a power boost as we speak 😅👍
Maintenance videos ? Would really enjoy maintenance videos on newer raptors Especially with ur quality and detail to videos All the other junk on RUclips don’t really explain what they’re doing I know I washed my bike but this makes me wanna do it again lol
@@heartformadness8876 I was looking into skis for this up coming winter. I do have a lot of winter videos if you haven't checked them out. I'll definitely be making more this season
Off ebay, just type in "raptor 700 warning labels" or whatever model your looking for and some stainless steel options should show up. I had mine powder coated black 👍
Pete.... raptor man told you few times... 15 t front sprocket. Torque + tall gears = fast accel .... Raptorman? Lol yes the intake will deff make a difference seeing more air you can suck and push out your exhaust(more will need more fuel which equals more hp) will deff make a differnce. But i have bog 3 amd 15t is a must pete if you want that down low power.
Seen dynos with big 3 gaining 12 ft/lbs of torque .....36 to 48 ft/lbs to the wheels . Yfz450 onlyngetting 38 ft/lbs torque afte big 3.... twisting force=greater power in my opinion..
My top speed so far on dirt is 84mph trying again tomorrow i got a tune up + full shaved fenders.big 3 15 front sproket(trinity stage 5 duels, pro design uni intake (sponge) , and dynatek fusion efi (speed limiter deleted)

I left my forklift job last October and worked part time over the winter for a friend. I've been focusing on RUclips since December. I've been making just enough to pay my bills all year but am not making much extra. If things keep growing hopefully I'll start making more money and then I can reinvest into the channel with new parts and hopefully more travel. This year has been a lot of fun so far. I try not to think about money, if it works out it works out. I'm just grateful to have what I have 👍
I'm going to pursue this crazy RUclips idea and see where it goes. It could be a lot different in 6 months to a year. I'm just taking it one video at a time lol 😅

Cool place to ride, lots of awesome machines and nice people!

Can't get enough of this channel and I don't even own a quad.
Thanks for watching man 😊 hopefully you'll have one someday!🤟
@@PeteHager well now I own 2 Kawasaki mojave 250 but one is a parts bike. Figured I'd start small so I don't wrap myself around a tree.
Was cheezing thru the entire video! Lol alot of sick bikes man! Love it!! Keep em coming!! Got my eyes peeled! 👀 LoL
that warrior is kicking some serious ass. no point in taking a quad to the dunes if you dont have paddles... its a totally different experience.
Alex rides well! Next trip I'll have paddles. Funds were a bit tight for this trip
mxthunder2 glad you enjoyed watching me tear it up on the warrior
Dude seeing this brings back memories to when I went to silver lake
Another awesome video. Thanks for the shots of me.
For my opinion I like the kick start quads better then the new ones, and the sound on the older ones sound better.
You REALLY need to put Glamis Thanksgiving or New Years on your radar..The Day & Night spectacle, the abundance of high dollar machinery and unlimited high speed large dune riding is like no other place on earth 🌎
MxB 53 that would be a bucket list trip! Hopefully it can be a reality someday soon
Find a buddy, get a tent and share the fuel cost, well worth the 27 or 30 hour drive 😀, in my opinion.
Awesome video and seeing all those machines! Sport Quad Heaven!
Again with a great video. But this time brings back good memories.. there is not a whole lot that is more satisfying then two strokes battling it out.....
Favorite part was the old Wartior rippin it up.
There's a guy making 50hp on a warrior now lol
Don't tread on me how do you add horsepower to your warrior
@@Ralleballe71 high comp piston. Good ported head and a cam. You can also put a Fcr 39mm carb. You just have to get an intake made

The 700 Raptor has always been the quad to have for riding the dunes out here in Glamis. Great bike!
I have a 2001 Warrior and these things are so fun to ride they are light and can be very fast. But your raptor is so beautiful
Would you recommend a Warrior to someone just starting out?
BlueSpy81 yeah for sure they’re light not too powerful not expensive at all and u can’t kill a warrior. It’s the most reliable quad in my opinion
@@AFondLaCaisse2024 alright thanks i appreciate it.
I have a raptor 350 and it is a lot of fun

you should try the for snow tires its in between the padles and the stock in traction
I put a K and N filter and 4.1 FMF on mine and it's way snapier , just need to figure out what type of tuner to plug in...mine is cutting out alot
Great video
Amsoil mudslinger will make the atv shine more after you clean it at help keep dirt from sticking
That Banshee @ 7:09 burnt everybody!
Did that guy check your decibel limit? If so do you know what yours was & what's the limit?
They didn't check decibels. I've been told they will if your machine is obviously off the charts lol. I'm assuming the limit on paper is 98db's or something but they aren't too strict about the sound. The main thing they check for is registration and a spark arrestor

If you put an aftermarket exhaust on you gotta put aftermarket intake I figured you would know that
