0HMF Yamaha Raptor 125 Exhaust Systems and Engine Kit
(2011) Yamaha Raptor 125
We brought in a customer’s Yamaha Raptor 125 for full research and development on an exhaust system. After development and endless dyno testing, HMF came up with a Slip On and Full System for the Yamaha Raptor 125.

The Testing
We tried 4 different head pipe designs along with 3 different silencer designs before coming up with a combo that made good power across the board.
By simply bolting our full system up to the little Raptor we saw a 15% gain in power. After seeing how choked up the intake side is, we removed the air box lid, backfire screen, and added a K&N filter with Outerwear. We found the stock carburetor was not up to the task of supporting the increased flow of the new exhaust and air box/filter modifications. The Keihin PE28 Carb was dropped in place of the original. After some fine tuning, we saw a 30% power gain over stock.
