Found the problem.It was the rubber boot between the carb and the cylinder intake.The boot had 2 good size cracks in it. Hopefully
nothing got into the engine.Thanks to everyone for the help. Steve

Yes it was still popping when I started it up back here at home. I've owned it for about a year now. I probably do need to clean the carb.

Havent been riding in a while. Went to Durhamtown Plantation with my son about 2 weeks ago. What a great place to ride! Anyway I ride a completely stock 03' Yamaha Warrior. At the beginning of the trip the carb would make a popping noise every once in a while. By the end of the trip it was popping alot more. The popping would only happen at idle or going slow. If I didn't keep the throttle revved up the bike would shut off when it popped. Other than that the bike ran great.Gas was fresh high octane.I'm no super mechanic but I think with some direction I can fix this problem. Can anyone give me some help? Thanks Steve 

Can anyone tell me if hunting season is over in ONF?

What the! Who the!

successsful,got the bolt out.Pretty easy. Used #2 easy out.The hardest part was taking off the body parts and gas tank.Thanks to everyone for the advise.

I took off the body parts and gas tank and got the easy outs today. I didn't have much time. I'm gonna try and get the bolt out tomorrow. I got the replacement bolt on the way. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks

Hey backinsaddle,the diagram that shows the cylinder head with the bolt labeled #4 is the one I have a problem with.Thanks

The real problem here is the bolt is hollow from the tip to just under the
head so the oil can seep out. I don't want to knock the rest into the motor. I don't think I tightened it down too hard. Torque wrench is the next tool I'll get .thanks for the replies.Anybody else?

I need some advise. I did my first oil change on my 03' Warrior. I bought it used not new.Going by the Clymer service manual,after changing the oil and oil filter it said to loosen the oil pressure check bolt mounted in the cylinder head and watch for oil to seep out. Oil did seep out. I tightened it down and part of the bolt broke off in the cylinder head. This oil pressure check bolt is new to me. Is it really needed? I don't know how much is broke off because I don't know how big the bolt is.It's in a really tight spot and I don't really want to take the cylinder head off to fix it. Any suggestions or advise. Thanks Steve 

Good idea Backinsaddle,I have a 7 yr old son and would like to keep track of him when we ride.How much are the helmet communicators and how far can you be for them to work or not work?

My bike broke down while riding in ONF last weekend.I took it to the Yamaha dealer in Jacksonville.They said that it needs a new stator.Their cost for the stator is $358.They also said that the CDI control unit could also be bad,but won't know until they replace the stator.The cost of the CDI is $302.I'm not happy about the costs.I don't know how much they charge for labor.I have a Clymers manual and common sense although I'm not a mechanic.Does anyone know of a cheaper mechanic or cheaper  way of fixing this? I'll give it a try myself if there's no really technical stuff. Has anyone done this kind of job?This is my first ATV.Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Dang, skeeeerrrrrdddd me !

Went with the Razr 20x11x9 tires. Got em for 48 bucks a peice through Rocky Mt ATV. I'll be trying them out in Ocala next week.Thanks everyone for your replies.

I'll be going to ocala in 2 weeks. Never been there before to ride.I'll be riding an ATV and my son will be riding an XR 50 dirtbike.Which area will be easier to ride for my son(deep sand)?Also I won't have a GPS so we won't be straying too far. Are there riding areas close to the campgrounds?Any info would help. Thanks

Hey Everyone,I'm new to the forum and new to ATVing.I just recently purchased an 02' Yamaha Warrior that has a 3/4" cut in the rear tire and it will not hold air.The tires are in good condition.Is it ok to just put a tube in it or should I get a new tire? Also the rear tires are Dunlops AT22x10x9 which I'm sure they are stock. Would it be ok to run 22x11x9 tires on the 9x8.5 stock rims? Looking around the internet I can't seem to find 22x10x9 tires. Any advise would be appreciated.Thanks
