I just started racing my warrior this last season. It's already fast, and handles like a dream. But besides what i've already done is there anything else. if you've got any suggestions i'm open to hear them. There is a list of mods below. I'm also in the process of redoing the frame for this season, pictures too come soon.

What exactilly do you mean by "slammed" front and rear? I suggest an anti-sway bar the front, and, if you don't already have it, some SSD or ZPS style suspension. If you don't have enough money for the suspension, you could use a lowering kit.

I would suggest some extended a-arms and an extended axle. Thats a big chunk of cash, so you might want to start off with some spacers. I also agree with rampage, a sway bar is a must and shocks are definitely nice. Hopefully you have purchased flat track tires. There is a world of difference between ***** and slicks. Do some homework, take a look at some of the faster guys that you race with and take notes from their bikes. I can stand behind the fact that bike setup and mods reign over riding ability for flat track racing. Esspecially in the amature racing.

I take it that you have never ridden any other sport bike, since you think that your warrior is fast and handles like a dream.

By slamed i mean it has been lowered. it sits around 4-5 inches off the ground. I've got a set of suziki 160 shocks with home made extensions on it. The rear is lowered with a longer linkage, but still has the factory shock. The front end has had no modifications in terms of a-arms, but my front wheels have been offset to make the front wider. I just had the tie rods redone and new steering stem put in. As for tires i've been running holesot xc rears and fasttracker fronts, with reduced air in both. Only thing other front end changes i've been thinking about is a steering dampener and I'm saving up the money to get an anti-sway bar.
As for other sport quads, I've rode a few others and yes they weree faster than my warrior, but with the way our classes are set up and my body size(6'2" 195lbs) , the only other quad in the classis a 300ex. And well, I've had several mods done to mine and it will out run most of the quads in my class. I've also rode a 400ex, but with the mods my warrior will run pretty close in speed but not handeling.
Thanks for the input guys.
