Full Version: Tried Out The Raptor At The Mx Track
The stock suspension just isn't going to cut it
brave man jumping a stock raptor like that.
Awesome looking track though. Looks like fun no matter what machine your on.
How safe is it to jump a stock yfz450, or 450r, like that?

You will be fine. That is what the YFZ is bred to do. When you start bottoming out all the time, and your suspension is out of adjustments to compensate, then it is time to upgrade, or when you start breaking frames, etc.
As for the jumping with the Raptor, the rear shock is not bad, but the fronts left me wanting much more. I am 5'10 and the ergo's for the Raptor had me hitting my knees on the front fenders and bars on a supercross track and some more technical MX tracks, but that could just be my riding style.
Great pics by the way!!!
