Default 2001 Warrior so STIFF!!!!

just went riding for the first time ever yesterday and my whole body is sore. we rode for about 8 hours total. fun time! mostly trails and some steep hills. no mud its been pretty dry in miami lately.

ok heres my dilemma. i drove my friends suzuki ltz400 ('06) and my friends honda 400ex. and those things were sooooooo easy to turn compared to my 01 yamaha warrior. i was so suprised. after a few hours i just got tired and had to stop every once in a while.

what can i do to soften that suspension up? i read somewhere that u can put the suspension from a banshee on it. any other cost-effective suggestions?

A few things to check, first off, are tire pressures and such, then grease the hell out of everything. Warriors are known for having a sluggish suspension.

Well, don't literally grease it to hell, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Once grease starts oozing out of the bushings thats plenty. Also check out the end of your steering stem where it fits into and make sure thats not all full of crud. My Warrior with the +2 A arms and with both wheels cambered in and toed out just a shade I still have pretty responsive easy steering.
