Hi again guys ! The power of a stock Raptor 350 (stock gears) when pinned in first or second is usaully not enough to lift up the front wheels off the ground. I was wondering, with my stroker kit will there be enough power to do this ? Here is the strokerkit I will be adding in there shortly.

Hotrods + 4 stroker crank (379 cc)
CWR .450 Lift cam
Kibblewhite Springs and retainers
Vertex +1 mm Piston (357 cc)
HMF Pipe
Open Box Air Filter
14 tooth Sprocket (front)
stock gear in back
stock carb
PS on pavement of course !

I am not sure how you are having problems these bikes have pretty good torque I never had any problems. Any performance upgrades will help produce more power.

I previously owned a Raptor 350 4 years ago before I hopped on a Raptor 700 and the tork was pretty lame... The 700 was a monster ! I could not thumb it full blast on pavement or the back tires wanted to pass the front tires. I just hope I get that thrill again with the stroker kit.

That's a tall order, I've got both...no comparison... Not being mean but, strokers, porting, cams, etc. it will NEVER be what a 700 is. I know alot of guys here have done some nice builds and I don't mean to offend anyone but I challenge anyone of you to line up with my 700...I promise you'll go home disappointed.

Dude, I know I won't be getting the power a 700 has... I think you are missing out my point here... All I want is to be able to wheelie the 350 with it's own power without using the clutch.

I'd take you any day with my 350 stroker just for the hell of it ! :evilface::iagree::evilface:
 
If you are running a stock length swinger, it will deffinetly wheel stand. I know mine will, but with stock carb and +2 swinger, I'd have to clutch it a little to do it. And I don't like to clutch it. The stroker is noice, though. Rode mine today for the 1st time.
 
Haha, bring it. Yes, you can get it to wheelie on it's own power. My warrior has a stock bore, around 11: compression, S1HC, VITO'S key, etc, etc. it wheelies no problem on 14/38 gearing but the easiest way to amplify torque is with a front sprocket change, drop to a 12 and go from there.
 
These things are wheelie machines right out of the box.

I think you are talking about Hondas... They are all ligtht up front. The warrior is not a wheelie machine compared to a Honda. But, it isn't hard to lean back and pop it up.
 
I was doing that with my old set up. Pretty much what '00 WO YA! has on his warrior, only with 13/38 gearing. I could do it in 2nd and sometimes in 3rd.

I'm running 12/40 with 20's and I can't get it to pull the front up and my motor is plenty strong. I just spin the tires. Although I haven't tried it on pavement yet. Then it would probably flip. lol
 
I'm running 14-40 with 22's and have no problem standing it up in 1st 2nd and sometimes 3rd with stock bore, carb and s1hc with open box and K&N filter with outerwares

I'm running about the same setup as Ed is and if you want a wheelie monster, you have the wrong bike. I can wheelie my bike pretty well with no clutch 1-2 gear no prob lean back and go. 3rd with a small bump and a well placed throttle stab. What size tires are you running?

There is such a thing as too low of gearing. That will make tires spin rather then hook up.
