Raptor 50 Speed Upgrades

[Wreckless]

Found these speed mods on the Internet for a Raptor 50. I will be trying them soon and update this thread for accuracy and with pictures.

• Rejet and modify carb: rejet carb, main jet 80, pilot jet 12.5. Replace the slide with part# 2HX-14112-35-00 also need to replace main nozzle with part# 2HX-14141-78-00.
  
• Remove the two screws on throttle housing, you will see a gold bracket you need to replace with part# 36B-2625H-00. NOW YOU HAVE FULL THROTTLE!
  
• Remove all of the air cleaner assembly and install K&N air filter with outerwear.
  
• Replace CDI box with any aftermarket unit that raises the electronic rev limiter.
  
• Replace stock size rims/tires with larger rims/tires for more top end and smaller tires/rims for more low end.

With a combo of these mods its been said you can make a Raptor 50 hit 30mph and beat a stock Raptor 80 or 90.

These are all basically Raptor 80 parts being put on the 50.

What did you expect from a 50? I was actually pretty suprised it tools me (200 pounds) and the kid (30 pounds) around the yard pretty good stock..

[phucker]

haha tim your kid cant even drive it yet and you are already making it more dangerous for him lol. let him drive it stock first and get good then upgrade it. DOES YOUR WIFE KNOW YOU ARE DOING THIS????

[Wreckless]

He isn't even 2 and he is already taking the controls while I am on the back. Its awesome he can barley span the bars but he knows how to work the throttle. I am going to do the carb mod which will make it jump up to 2300 RPM faster before the limiter kicks in so it wont make it to much more dangerous. Then when he is ready I will plug in the new CDI..

Did you find and or try all these parts with the part #'s? If so did you see a noticable difference? Or anyone else out there get good results doing some mods? I don't care so much about speed, just want my 5 year old to be able to climb a little bit of a incline at the dunes.
Thx

The 50 will really open up after you do these things.. Not sure how much of a dune it will climb but you will see its full potential..
