what are the good and bad things about warriors, im probaly going to get one next weekend

the good thing about them is that there Yamaha's  ;D

i dont kno much about em but they are suposed to be pretty reliable  :)

thats what i've heard, just want to be sure its true

ive talked to about 5 people that have em and they have never had any trouble with theirs

The 2005 say Rapter 350 on them no warriors. Kinda have the sam plastics also

the one i'm getting is a '96

Hey I just got rid of a 96 Warrior.We never had anything major wrong w/it.The only reason we sold was because hubby wanted a 400 ex.I have drove both and I know I may get bashed for this.BUT I liked the way the warrior handled more so than the 400 ex.

o how dose it compare speed wise

My husband say's there is NO comparison ;D

The 400 ex is faster,,,,,,,,,,,but personally I liked the warrior better.

thats ok, the people i will ride with have 250ex and i no i will be faster than them ( i hope o4250 reads this lol)

I had a 2000 Warrior and I rode it very hard for 2 years and never had any trouble with it at all. It was very reliable and fun to ride. I got rid of it for a 400ex one day on a whim when I took the bike in for maintenance. If the bike you are interested is in good shape and the price is right,you should end up w/ a reliable bike. Just my .02. I hopeeverything works out in your favor.

the bike looks good and its $2000

My brother has one and its pretty good for wheelies and it goes thru decent sized mud holes for a 2 wheel drive.

I have been a warrior owner since 96 and while now there a
ton of bikes that are faster they are good solid quads.With
a pipe and rejetting the carb plus a decent filter you will have
a reasonably quick bike.Having reverse will save youre life on
trail rides.And since they have been around for so long there
is a bunch of stuff out there for them.Do youre maintenance
and it will last forever .

Super reliable but not very fast, but then again they are not meant to be race quads. Excellent for beginers or for simply cruising. We have a rappy 350 in the group and it is a well mannered quad....just not very fast.

well thanks iwish :D

yeah right  o4slow250

Parking lot....5 >:(

I have two of them ...1987 Warrior and a 2005 Raptor 350. The 1987 still runs like new. No problems at all

how often do you need a new chain and sprokets

Depend on yor thumb  :P You can get a year or more easy .

i didnt know they lasted that long

You cant go wrong with a Yamaha. The warrior is not the fasts Quad but it will get you there. Michelle buy your husband a Yamaha. I wouldnt let my wife drive a Honda! just a joke honda guys and girls  ;D

Hey if I didnt need the $1000. I got for the old warrior,I would have kept it for myself.I loved that thing ;D

I ride a '01 warrior and have really enjoyed it. I have added a set of Hole Shot tires made a big diff in the way it handles. Fast enough for me but then I am an old man (61). You will like it.

i'm sure it will be fast enough for me, and if not i'll just get a lot of mods ;D

its best to start with a fast quad and then when you get bored do the mods. my 2 cents

I have a 2001 warrior. It's a great bike. I've never had any mechanical problems with it. I think the size of the rider makes a difference with this bike. I'm 6 foot 1 and 225lbs. and fit well on the warrior. I rode a friends 300 ex and I felt like a fat man in a little coat.

lol

i never rode one but my friend had one and they arent very fast but u can still have fun on them
