does anybody know the stock horsepower of yamaha warriors?

 

Not sure exactly, but I believe it's around 18-19 HP.

 

Last I heard it was a whopping 17 horsepower. Go Yamaha. The only way that engine could be more barbaric would be to use pushrods instead of SOHC. With as high tech as their 426 and 250F are, why can't they update the poor old Warrior?

 

18

 

18 HP might not seem like much to some of us but not everyone can handle a Raptor or a C'Dale. Yes it would be nice to have a hi-tech easily upgraded motor on all quads but that might price them out of reach of some younger or first time buyers, Their awfully expensive as they are. So lets not put down the guy or gal on a low HP quad,they might kick our A$$ in a couple of years when they graduate to a big quad!
