- In this video we unbox and install these plus 2-inch standard or long travel A-arms on our 2013 Yamaha Raptor 700 from our boys over at teamalbaracing.com. These upgraded arms will work with your standard shocks with the supplied brackets, or you can use long travel shocks.

Feature length episode.
Looks great with those longer A arms. And those shocks look mint. 👌
Thanks bro I like it too
Hey buddy I am planning to put on the same A-arms on my raptor but I didn’t feel confident to do it myself but now thanks to your video I feel confident to do it myself. Thank you so much
My pleasure. Be sure to use my promo code gmc10 @teamalbaracing.com
I’ll do it. Thanks
Bro that 700 looks mean as hell. Killer video my dude. Keep up the hard work my dude PEACE
She's getting there. Never thought I'd like a raptor
That 700 lookin fresh man
Thanks bro. I'm really liking this one
Raptor looks good. Good work man.
Thanks bro
Thanks bro
Also alba a arms I think r the best out there the fit ment is perfect it's like they no frames r bent
They always fit rite up better then some expensive ones I've bought before
One day I’m going to do this also.
👍
The same front end?
Did you get this bike back yet ? Hadnt seen an update man its a shame people steal our hard earned quads . I listen to your videos at work all day . 400ex is my go to videos and thank you for help
I did not get it back yet. Yeah people suck bro. Thanks, let them videos play
Looks so much better. Man looks mean as hell
I like it for sure too
Glad iv come across this channel brother,im from England UK 🇬🇧 iv never owned a Quad but rode a couple,went and looked at a raptor 700r loved it,was exactly how i wanted it,real low & set for road use,looking at getting a raptor in the next few days but if i end up with one stock I’ll be wanting to make it wide & low and slightly wider front tyres,I don’t really understand to much on parts ect but what shocks or coilovers would be best & do i go for +2 or do they do wider I.E +3 ect there is a raptor with a R6 engine & another with a R1 on eBay I’m interested in if i go for them i think there already wide
You can get wider then plus 2. Raptor with a r1/r6 engine I'm sure would be low and wide already. I've been wanting to build one but for dirt use with a r6 engine. Already have the donor street bike here.
Team alba is nice parts loving them front disc guards . She is one wide one
Yeah it's definitely a wide girl
@@garagemcmatt hey wonder oft them discs guards will fit 06 yfz should right
@mikewisher4083 I would think so but they might make them for it as well. Check ebay
Do whatever you really want I don't care, lol😂
Are those yfz shocks the lt length for those a arms. I run -3 on my caster, I run houser, it's nice and easy to adjust. But those Alba are nice
Wish there was videos like this for the 660. I plan on alba +2 arms and a shock swap for my Raptor 660 soon
Should be the same procedure or atleast dam close
@@garagemcmatt I'd like to set it long travel but not sure what shocks would work with little to no modifications. You have any ideas?
@@Kevin_Yagoonie efi model yfz450r front shocks work with long travel a arms
@yagoonie5.3 I can get u a very clean set rite now for $450 that's about $100 cheaper then on ebay before shipping. Off a 2021 yfz minimal hours on them they are like new
@@garagemcmatt damn to bad I don't got the money. Gotta do brake lines on my truck first. But do appreciate it
Do u have to get longer tie rod when u get the alba a-arms
It comes with tie rods. U will need to re use your stock tie rod ends tho or buy new ones
I dont know if still have the quad or not, but how did the a arms hold up, ive heard people say there bushings dont last long. And also are the a arms beefy im looking to get a set but i also wanna know if they can take jumps.
I've run these arms on other quads and they hold up. The raptor got stolen so I didn't even get a chance to test it out
@@garagemcmatt Oh that sucks that it got stolen. I think im sold on alba arms for my raptor, thanks for responding.
@@cherry2036 I always respond bro
I had questions on yamaha I need rear axle but this quad I have its kindah confusing
What quad is it
Good video do you have a fan if not get 1 then u can make longer videos for us lol
It makes too much noise when I'm filming
It's crazy how a videos length ads up so fast. This one being an hour long is cut down from 3.5 hours worth of footage. It takes longer to edit then the work in the video takes. Do u like the longer videos or my normal 20 to 30 min videos?
Wish they made them for a 400 long travel/standard travel
It would be cool
Did you end up using the stock sleeves it looks like in the video you're using the stock ones, because i have the same a arms and the sleeves that are included the bolts are loser in there than in the stock sleeves
Also the included sleeves for the lower a arms are too long so i was just wondering if you cut them down or if you used the stock ones
I used the stock ones if I remember correctly
@@garagemcmatt alright thanks i assembled one side already with the stock ones.
@cherry2036 I think they ship those with the sleeves just for packing. I'm not 100% sure tho. I do know that it is the same part from alba that fits the carb model yfz450. Could be that they fit those better (sleeves)
I couldn't tell by the video but the upper arms, the spacers. Does the spacers go first then the dust caps?
The spacers stay exposed those are just to get your caster you want dialed it
@@garagemcmatt thanks for the reply. So dust caps first then spacers?
@Kevin_Yagoonie yes the dust cap cover the a arm mounting points the spacers will be exposed
@@garagemcmatt thanks I appreciate it. I don't know why but I didn't receive a instruction sheet. So going by your video. Thank you 👍
@Kevin_Yagoonie all good, that's one of the reasons I'm here.
Nice video.... I want my raptor to set like this but I'm worried it will be too wide for the trail...
Plus 2 inch isn't that bad bro. I wish I could give u a better review but someone stole this quad before I got a chance to even ride it this way
@@garagemcmatt right on.... Thank you.... That's too bad and F*"up!!!! Feel your pain on that stolen problem...😡....
I'm thinking about getting the Elka shocks right now for $900. Or a little over 1200 with shocks and the Alba+2 a arms..... And I would probably also do the Alba 2 inch spacer on the rear..
I have a 2020 Yamaha Raptor 700 standard with the pogo shocks... At first I was just looking for some raptor 700r OEM shocks.... I can get a used 10-year-old set of eBay for $400 but for $500 more I can get a brand new set that's balanced for my weight... It should be a no-brainer but I still can't make my mind up 😂🤣😂 I'm sure I will get what I paid for but I want to save a dollar 🤦
@dirtfamilystyle email me I can get you a set of 2021 yfz450r front shocks just like I used on mine. They go for $550 used I can get a mint barely used set rite now for $350

@@garagemcmatt I've been doing a little research and you talked me into it...ha ha ha.
I used to have a 2004 YZF 450R and I loved the way it handled with the factory shocks... I love my raptors power I just wish it handled a little better...I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and buy the ALBA +2... I'm even going to go with the Elka front and rear shocks package with A arms..... Unless you don't think the rear shock is worth it.?... I have never rode anything with the elks shocks.....
hey @garagemc i flipped my raptor 700 and my front right spindle is sagging what could this be thanks so much
More then likely you blew out a ball joint
really that would cause the spindle to sag?
@@garagemcmatt
It's tough to say without seeing it
Hey man are those just +2 or they +2 and +1
These are plus 2
Each side
What year yfz are those shocks from
These were from a 2022 but any year yfz450 that is fuel injected are the same as these. The fuel injected year front shocks are longer so if your putting them on a raptor 700 you will need long travel a arms. If you get the carb model yfz front shocks the bolt rite on a 700
Okay because I’m putting rock +2 aarms on my raptor because my cousin crashed it and might as well upgrade it
@@JT-nc6no I still have the whole stock front end from mine
Hello
Im from Portugal
I have a RAPTOR 700
I put the same spec, a arms, anda shocks ,
I hunt your opinion.
Thanks
I didn't get to really ride this quad after I did all this stuff to it. Someone stole this quad from my house. I did like it the little bit that I got to ride it tho
@@garagemcmatt ok
Sorry my inglis
@pauloalexloeb1 all good it is what it is. What time is it rite now by you? I'm gunna do livestreams at different times for everyone that's not in usa
@@garagemcmatt Hello
It's a shame they stole your RAPTOR 700
I have 2 in my house, one mine and one my son's
As I said, I applied the arms and shock absorbers, just like in your video.
I only walked 120 km in the forest, so far I liked it
I would like to get opinions from others who have RAPTORs 700
Big hug from Portugal
@@pauloalexloeb1 I'll be getting another 1 soon
Hey buddy I'm installing the same a arms as you did. Do you put the wheels on lower the quad then tighten everything with tires on?
Yes a good rule of thumb is to not tighten anything that pivots until the weight of the quad is on the ground
I got ALBA parts on my quad, never again. Will never buy Nice CNC either 👎🏻
Everyone has their own opinion. I've had good luck with alba so far
What parts did you get from Alba or why will you never get parts from them again?
@cherry2036 it's lonestar I'll not buy anymore. And it's thier customer service
