I like the review so far Dewsnap. I hope that you can get some of the problems sorted out quickly and easily; The gear problem sounds like the most frustrating one to me. ZMC888 sorted a bunch of problems out on his old Raptor and made it into a decent bike. He and I haven't even clocked 150km on the YBR so far but not a single problem yet. By 500km the pro list should be much bigger than the con list for that bike. I don't mean to rub it in... I'm just comparing... I'll shut up now.
I think that your Raptor is much better looking than the YBR. I like matching red rim tires and suspension. You even got a matching helmet! . If only the YBR was a twin.
