I bought a used Raptor today. It is a 01 and I got it pretty cheap.
So anyway, this is my first Quad so I know nothing about them. I am going to change the fluids and generally do all the Maint before using it.
I am needing new rear tires. I am looking at the Dunlap KT 396. Are they a decent tire? It has the KT 335 on it now.
So that's about it for me I'm going to go troll the board.

Congrats and welcome.

Congratulations on the Raptor :thumbsup: and Welcome to the forum:beer:. You'll find everything you need help with here! Umm as for those tires... Razr 2's are a very nice choice as well as mudlites and most dunlops... Hell tractor tires will work... What kind of riding do you do or will be doing is what you should base your tire choice off of. A great place for tires is rockymountainatvmc.com and please check out the Vendors of Raptorforum in the Vendors section on the Forum page.

The pertinent statement is - Take Tommy's advice, unless it conflicts with Willy's or mine, THEN ignore him!

don't worry when I'm not totally sure I won't say anything, and when I am wrong I'm usually corrected before any harm is done...let me prove that to you. set your oven to 450 and throw your plastics in over night....don't forget before and after pics:wow:

Listen to willy and maniac, those are the guys to go too, segkast is good as well, beware the tranny issue from the 01 raptors, you should probably find out from the previous owner if a tranny swap has been done. 40-41% of the '01 660's had bad tranny's. so just be aware. and welcome to the forum.
