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.

96 warrior · December 12, 2004, 05:01:53 PM

o how dose it compare speed wise

Michelle · December 12, 2004, 05:06:14 PM

Quoteo how dose it compare speed wise

My husband say's there is NO comparison

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

96 warrior · December 12, 2004, 05:51:02 PM

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)

PredaGator · December 12, 2004, 05:56:59 PM

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.

96 warrior · December 12, 2004, 06:20:35 PM

the bike looks good and its $2000

CABLEGUY1 · December 12, 2004, 07:16:14 PM

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 .

B-man · December 13, 2004, 06:57:47 AM

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.

o4250 · December 13, 2004, 11:35:17 AM

Quotethats ok, the people i will ride with have 250ex and i no i will be slower than them ( i hope o4250 reads this becuase he is just the coolest person ever and i want to be just like himl) man he so cool

ILoveToRide · December 14, 2004, 03:22:43 AM

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

96 warrior · December 14, 2004, 08:15:54 AM

how often do you need a new chain and sprokets

J.D. · December 14, 2004, 08:35:48 AM

Depend on yor thumb

You can get a year or more easy .

96 warrior · December 14, 2004, 08:39:34 AM

i didnt know they lasted that long

big-daddy · December 14, 2004, 01:44:43 PM

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

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

jbbj220 · December 15, 2004, 11:16:37 AM

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.

96 warrior · December 15, 2004, 02:09:57 PM

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

big-daddy · December 15, 2004, 05:34:52 PM

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

weekendwarrior1 · December 15, 2004, 07:01:55 PM

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.
