Nice video. It’s nice to see 660’s rippin on RU-vid. I ride a blue 660 myself. I see you up in Michigan. Ever run across Pete Hagar? I think he’s from that area. Anyways if for whatever reason you decide to come to Cali hit me up.
She's a nasty 660 now after the rebuild. Haven't had much time to get new vids up though. Pete is in Minnesota, he came here once and rode with a few guys I ride with. I wasn't able to make it though.
Nice! She rips now. Last winter I tore her down and rebuilt it. -686 -11:1 wiseco piston -Stage 2 Hot cam -Port & polish -Monster duals -dyno tune & custom carb mods -elka shocks Thing puts down 50hp and 40 ft-lbs of torque. She hits peak torque at around 2500 rpm and the torque curve stays flat all the way to peak hp. She's a monster now. Ate up some big 3 700's at rhe local hill climb this summer. 😂💪
Were you just there last Saturday? I recognize the light bar. If not you i talked to a guy with a similar bike. I had a 660 black with blue custom decals
no, I was up there but my quad was out due to an electrical issue. I completely rebuilt the quad last winter and no longer have the light bar or the magnum bars. So it looks a bit different these days. Hopefully I'll be riding up there this weekend.
@@deepwoodssittin2737 gotcha, there was a couple of guys running the hill. I talked to them an one of them had the same light bar. I just saw the video and was thinking maybe it was you.
@@getoutside8202 I wish. Added about 20HP to the raptor over the winter. She rips up the hill a lot faster this year. 😄 I'll be there this Saturday at some point.
I just had it tuned by a local shop with a dyno. Jetting is a lot smaller than I would have guessed. 152.5 & 155 with a 15 pilot. 686cc, 11:1 piston, stage 2 hotcam, monster duals, port & polish. 50 HP and 40 ft-lbs of try. It has a beautiful flat torque curve, max torque through the whole rpm range. They ended up machining the needles to a custom size and modified the slides as well. She's running great now.
We need to get the Whole Raptor Crew Together You Me Pete Hager and Raptor Man I've Rode with Raptor Man and talk to him a few times last time we rode together I had my Honda Odyssey Buggy and Manco Dingo Off-road Buggy now I have a Yamaha Raptor 660 with a Yamaha Vmax 600 twin she's wicked
Trying to! Always seems so slow when I go back and watch these rides. Here's the chase view for part if this trail from the dirtbike following me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lo60S2-MoPA.html
Question, I just rebuilt my 660 with a 686 kit from BPracing. It runs great. I'm on the fence about new shocks though. I'm sure the ride is better but is it THAT much better? In other words, is it a good value for the money? Thanks.
I'd say it depends on how much time you spend on the quad. For me, I was one the fence about buying the shocks but decided to splurge..and I am glad I did. I ride pretty often and when I do it's 75-100 miles of trails. Will probably log 2000+ miles this year. The Elka's made a HUGE difference from the YFZ shocks I had on the ride before. Getting rid of the wheel spacers for +2 Albas really helped to. I am way less fatigued at the end of 100 miles than before and can carry so much more speed through the trails. It was a nice compliment to the extra 20+ HP I added to the motor this winter. If you've got the money and you ride A LOT, then I'd say its worth it. Otherwise, it might make more sense to go with something more cost effective like yfz450 shocks.
Yes sir. Of the few thousand miles I prob ridden in that area, this was the first time I ever took the whole east side of the loop down to Lupton from Bull Gap. Great ride, a lot better than the whooped our nightmare that is the west side of the loop along M33. They were out grading these trails the day before, they actually did a decent job. Much better than previous years when all they would do is turn up rocks. Looked like they got some bigger equipment now. Hopefully they hit the west side of the loop soon since thats the trail I take to get to my moms place from mine.
@Kevin_Yagoonie I like them, they seem fairly well built and have plenty of adjustability. The a-arms plus the elka shocks made a huge difference with the added power. Unfortunately the quad is torn apart for another rebuild (bottomed end bearing) but I'd do 100-150miles a day on the trails and enjoyed every minute of it.
I'd love to make it out west. Thankfully we've got plenty of great trails here in Michigan in the meantime! I'm yet to get back out on the trails this year, the raptor has been heavily modified over the last few months. She's just about ready to rip.
I love mine but the platform is a bit long in the tooth. I had the chance to ride a brand new 700 2 years ago and wish I had one. The 660 is definitely a worthy machine but if 700 is an option I would go that route. It's going to be a completely different experience from the 450, the low end torque is nice for lugging around trails.
@@deepwoodssittin2737 cool appreciate the replies! I got buddies with both 700s and 660s and I've rode them both, just hard to see if the extra 1500-2000 a 700 is going to cost will be worth it
@@hunterc282 I have been rebuilding my quad the last couple of months and can say that aftermarket parts for the 660 is reducing. Parts are still available but some of the things are in short supply or a bit inflated in price. Not sure if that is the overall market. Seems the aftermarket for the 700 is more robust, which makes sense for a newer platform.
@@deepwoodssittin2737 thats a fair point, right now 660s in my area are going for like 3500-4500 Canadian and 700s are 5500-8000, would you say they're worth that much extra? Giving everything you know about the 660 now
Duuuude. I'd love to go but my Raptor is torn down to the frame and the head is in the machine shop right now. Waiting on a bunch of parts to arrive for it.. Hoping to have her back together by end of April. Should a miracle happen and it's together by then, I'll let you know.
Thanks! The gopro mic sucks for picking up my voice with the HMF making so much noise. I don't have much to say but haha but maybe I'll pick up an aux mic this season. That's if i ever get the raptor put back together. 😂
@@deepwoodssittin2737 They're great bikes, I've had an absolute blast the past two summers on mine. Can't wait for next year. I'm up by the Adirondacks so it's somewhat similar.
It's a blast, we are definitely lucky here in Michigan. Some of the best riding for sport quads anywhere in the country. Tons of great trails and we even have some dunes over on lake Michigan at Silver Lake. Where do you ride?
@@AthenasGarageOffical Ahh gotcha, yeah definitely different riding there from my experience. Never been to AK but have rode in some nearby states. Well, it's just a short 14 hour drive up to northern michigan!
Michigan Quad Trails & Tales Yes we were. We had a great time! We did not make a video this time. Sorry. We’ve taken a break from doing that. I have to catch up on your videos yet.
Great Video! Was there last weekend.not these trails though,we will have to find these. Deer Crossing at 28:22 ! Real nice at 4K as well. you lost me way back there.
I knew I saw you guys riding last weekend. I was heading back from town to my place and I saw the 400ex and 250 heading down south river rd towards town in Mio. I'm up there most weekends, shoot me a message if you ever want to meet up for a ride.
@@deepwoodssittin2737 Let me know before hand when you will be up there, I do not wanna spoil my video but the wife does not make it up the hill, and she wants another crack at it. Michiganquadtrailsandtales@gmail.com
I've been busy working on the cabin this year so I have missed all of the group rides so far. Not nearly as much riding as I would like, better believe I will be out there putting on some miles this weekend though!
Deep Woods Sittin That sucks man. Hopefully you will be able to get out more often this summer. Bullgap is always on our list for at least a couple rides and we can’t wait. Best 50” trail in the state.
