i have a chance to pick up a 04 raptor 660 pretty cheap. i have never rode one before i hear they are top heavy and want to roll. this one has 2in spacers in the rear how much better does this make the quad.. i am no stranger to sport quad i use to mx race a 250r...i want something fast on the trails fun to jump and power slide the turns and of corse wheelies and it has to have reverse...will this raptor be a good choise for me.?

Those wheel spacers should make a big difference in the handling. You can also flip over the link that connects the shock with the swingarm to lower the seat height significantly.

Buy it! You'll love it...Just learn to lean into the turns...But from what your saying your going to use it for, it's a great machine.

Buy it ! I just bought an 02. I haven't even gotten my wheel spacers on yet and don't think it is all that bad.It screams 3rd gear wheelies bone stock.

It sounds like the previous owner got some good use out of it if he had that many tires for it. Just make sure you acquire it for the right price as less people will want the Raptor 660r now that the Raptor 700r is out and is a big improvement over the 660r.

Not that you asked my opinion, but I think you should ditch the front wheel spacers unless they are personally autographed my MacGuyver himself.
