Apr 5, 2006

The 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Yamaha Raptor 700R is all new from the ground up, and it is one serious sports quad. It is fuel-injected for consistent engine performance in a wide range of conditions, elevations and temperatures.

The Raptor's powerplant moves from 660cc to 686cc- making it the largest engine found on a true sport ATV. With a performance bike of this nature sometimes the manufacturers don't put the mounting assemblies in as they should. As riders hit jumps, bumps and very rough terrain it starts wearing on the mounting hardware.

K&N Engineering has a new custom assembly filter kit (YA-7006) for the 2006 to 2016 Yamaha YFM700R Raptor 700. For a performance bike of this nature, K&N mounted the billet intake to the air box. The K&N custom assembly filter kit also provides a larger mounting surface for the air filter which means more overall stability. This provides a smoother delivery along with a greater amount of air flow. The design acts as a velocity stack within the air box meaning adding performance is simple.

K&N's YA-7006 like all K&N air filters are designed to offer increased filtration and optimum air flow.

K&N invented the pleated cotton filter more than 35 years ago for the power sports market. This new filter is great for enthusiasts and off-road riders and racers alike. The innovative and unique filter design makes installation, changing and cleaning a breeze.

K&N's larger filtration area offers riders longer service intervals meaning more riding and less cleaning.

The YA-7006 will fit the following Yamaha YFM700R Raptor models:

Apr 5, 2006

Racer Steve Cohen said it always feels good to win. He should know after his Super Comp victory in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series from Bradenton Motorsports Park on March 26th in Florida.

Steve Cohen and Shelby Cohen

After three days of stiff competition Cohen’s 2005 dragster came through for the veteran racer who has a long list of wins. Cohen also races a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am in Super Gas.

The 48-year-old Dade City, Florida resident started Bracket racing in 1979 and never looked back. He’s won 10 Division Championships, 3 World Championships, 14 NHRA National Events and 12 IHRA National Events.

Cohen said he uses K&N Engineering’s Performance Gold Oil Filter (HP-5001) in his vehicles. It is designed with drilled safety wire holes for racing and a sturdy one-inch wrench nut to make oil filter removal quick and easy. “The K&N filter goes on quick and comes off quick,” he said. “I’ve never had one collapse.”

K&N’s Premium Performance Gold Oil filter has thick canister walls for extra strength and durability to fill a need for racers. The walls reduce the risk of damage from loose rocks and debris.

“The K&N filter works well,” Cohen said. “We’ve never had any problems.” Cohen’s daughter Shelby, 15, is racing in Stock Eliminator. “We’re a busy family,” he said. “I race, my daughter races and there is work in between. I also build a new car every year.”

Cohen’s next two races are coming up. “I have a divisional race in Georgia and then it’s off to the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series in Belle Rose, Louisiana,” he said.

Laura Poorter Completes Practice Runs, Ready for Irwindale Ford Focus Midget Race

Mar 29, 2006

A fresh new face will emerge Saturday April 1st in the USAC California Ford Focus Midget Series at Irwindale Speedway. Laura Poorter is only 17-years-old, petite and a long way from her native Holland.

Her English is very good and she speaks with a slight accident, but she has mastered the language of the track. Like Wonder Woman, Laura Poorter has the strength to control her K&N Engineering Ford Focus Midget. She has been driving since she was 9-years-old, her first comfort zone was behind the wheel of a mini-kart.

Her desire for speed has taken her thousands of miles away from her family for one reason, and one reason only, to compete. Currently she is staying in a southern California hotel, waiting for her host family to arrive. “I miss my family very much, but my car is really cool,” said Laura. “I like the speed very much.”

Laura spends a majority of her time in her room studying. “I have so much home-work,” she said, like any other teenager. “Economics, Dutch, History and Geography, I have a full load of classes.”

Last week, she had a practice run at Irwindale. “My Ford Focus Midget performed well,” said Laura. “I don’t know how fast I was during the trial runs because there was no one else on the track. We tuned a few things on the midget and it turned out to be a very productive run.”

The Ford Focus Midget Series is a baby in the world of racing. It began in 2002 and is one of the first steps for young drivers who want to go into racing. It is affordable, reliable, entry level racing designed to fill a niche.

Laura raced in Europe and has competed in the same series as several Formula One drivers. She is not afraid and looking forward to her first race on April 1st at Irwindale Speedway. “I’m really excited about my race on Saturday,” she said. K&N Engineering's Sports Marketing Director Charles Maier was impressed my Laura during a race in Belgium last year. This year Laura is part of the K&N family.
