I was just woundering if a yamaha warrior was much better then a mojave? how much faster is it?is it better in the woods? can it jump better? is it betterat climbing hills?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

I've ridden both pretty extensivly and they are quite different. The Warrior is larger, longer, heavier, not as peppy but it is faster top speed. The Mojave is slightly lighter, has spunkier power and handles quicker and turns tighter. The Mojave is also shorter and smaller than the Warrior. Both quads are fun, the Warrior is more fun in wide open spaces and the Mojave is better in the woods and tight conditions. The Warrior is $1000 more than the Mojave but you are not getting a $1000 more in performance. The electric start adds to the price and I believe the Warrior comes with an adjustable rear shock. Basically, if you are a bigger/heavier person and have the money than go for the Warrior. If you are smaller and lighter than the Mojave is an excellent buy for the money.

The only thing I don't like about mine is that it is a little bit on the heavy side. There are a lot of things a guy can do to lighten up for free (mud flaps, foot fences)but it would be hard to get it down to around the 309lb dry weight of an '85-'88 Quadsport. If you are used to 4x4 quads then it doesn't matter, the Mojave will feel like a feather.

 

Does anyone else have any input.I would love to hear your thoughts
