Title: sports ride in mud
Post by: sweetrider215 on June 01, 2006, 10:20:01 AM
I already have some great advice from the klutchbuster400 about the sport but i was wandering how far u think a yamaha raptor 350 with a snorkel or any sport can go in the mud without fludding  and do u think i should get the raptor 350 or a honda rancher 350 4wd

it depends where your riding. What spots are you close too? How old are you? Weight and height and riding experience. We need more information. Personally I'd go utility because its a nicer ride and you can mud.

Raptor has like 4 inches of ground clearance so, maybe 4 inches of mud. Snorkel will only really help in water.

I have a 660 raptor and it sucks in the mud.  It also sucks ripping the rearend apart and replacing rusted thrown bearings because water got in there.  Try the 400 wolverine.  2 or 4 wheel drive.  Good all around bike.

i used my old 400ex in the mud all the time and it was fun i got stuck alot but it was fun only bad thing about it is that you will replace the rear axel barings alot lol  i had plans to put my warn 2000 pound winch on my 400ex but sold it befor i did it

my mom has a recon and that thing is fun in the mud its only 2wd but it can go place my friend with a stock rancher can
