Title: turnout
Post by: jimmy660 on November 08, 2006, 08:39:56 PM
What kind of turnout average are you guys getting at most races? Also what is everyone riding? I race xc but I have my old raptor sitting in the shed collecting dust.I know that there is a huge difference in the handling on mx and xc tracks from the raptor to my 450 but if I lower the raptor and add swaybars would it be ok?Any info is appreciated.

  It depends on the track we are at but a fair average would be about 30. Remember flat track tires are required and a swaybar would probably be a good idea although not everyone uses one. Hope this helps. ;D

Do up the Raptor if you have one. My friend races one and is competitive in our class.

It has Elkas and +1"  a arms with a + 2 axle but its still top heavy. Should be alright if I lower it a little . Just don't want to spend the money on a bike that still will not be competative.

Jimmy,

You should be fine, you will want to have a swaybar and lower it some but you have good shocks and if you have some power you should run real well. Come on up to Valdosta and have some fun.  :ThumbsUp.gif
