dude it can be done, on my 88 before it was rebuilt then ultimatley stolen, i could wheelie without standing on the grab bar. You have to dump the clutch like a mo fo to get it up. What you have to understand is the motor in you warrior is placed farther toward the front of your frame makin it harder for you bike's front end to raise up.

Stock is 13 teeth, so a 12 tooth would help. But no matter what you do, a Warrior is not a good wheelie machine, but it can be done with the right technique without standing on the wheelie bar. Just be careful and wear a helmet! For the machine to go straight, the rear tire air pressure has be be even and you can steer it slightly by leaning right or left. If it feels like it is going back too far, LIGHTLY tap the back brake and it will bring the front end down. If you drag the wheelie bar, just hold on to the bars and hug the tank with your knees and lightly tap the back brake to get it off of the wheelie bar. If someone gave me this advice years ago, it would've saved me a few trips to the emergency room.

I have a 87 warrior to. Before i got my pipe it was tough to get the front end up. I did it without popping thrle the clutch . I just dumped the gas and leaned back. With the pipe its a whole lot easier so im sure its possible u just have to practice alot. Hope i helped

I hate to say this, but that kit is junk. I have heard some bad stories about those kits.
