One thing I've noticed though: the 660 has become the red-headed stepchild now that the 700 has come out. When you look at other boards, people only refer to the 700 and only talk shit when referring to the 660.
Consider that without your dedication to the 660.
The 01' should have been recalled for the trans.
All years have issues with the oneway.
All years could use a suspension upgrade to the frontend.
The dual carb setup leaves a bit to be desired.
If you look at blue traxx for example, there's 14000+ posts for the 660 and production ran from 01-05, the banshee has 4400+ posts for a machine that started production in 1987, this alone makes you wonder about the turd factor of the 660. Look at other sites that have multiple models, you'll see the same.
It may be argued that the 660 is great for mods and thats what makes it so popular but what does it take to make the raptor a reliable machine? Way more cash than a banshee would need to make more power than most could use or handle.
I know I've started trouble but think about it, honestly.
We ride a turd, with pride. :thumbsup:
