my friend bought a 2001 warrior and it ran fine. then one day he was riding in 6th gear at half throttle and it just died. he touched the exhaust and it was cooled. does anyone know what happened to it? we think it was a valve.

 

well prolly got a peice of dirt in the jet and it stopped getting fuel and stalled out.. sucked in soem dirt? i've never had 1 just DIE on me but slow down quiet a bit.. or lose power hhmmm.. idk what else it would b and xhaust will cool down fast..

 

i forgot to say that it died then it locked up. when you go to start it the starter just makes a clicking noise. i think the exhaust valve broke and snaped the crank shaft. what do you think ??

 

sounds like he seized the engine to me did he warm it up properly before riding

 

The clicking noise is the starter solenoid. Charge your battery before trying to start it.
