350 Warrior vs. 350 Raptor
What's the difference between the warrior and the new 350 raptor? I know they have different fenders, but its everything else the same? I know its the same motor but has yamaha made any changes to the motor or any updates to it, and if so what are they? Also if anyone out there has one, do they ride and jump well (raptor 350)? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you've got the cash the Raptor 350 is a better bike. It's quicker because of different exhaust and the ergos are improved significantly. Plus it has the best thing the Warrior had to offer, the POWERPLANT!
The Warrior was always known for a good engine and the Raptor will still have that old 350 for a while anyway.
The Warrior is a great woods cruiser, but to get it to handle good enough for racing or high speed dashing, you need new suspension all around, fatter foot-pegs, new bars, axle extenders all around, and tire all around.
That being said, I love my 01 Warrior!

Don't even consider getting a Warrior, even if it is a great deal! As I recall, the Raptor 350 has a different rear suspension linkage, shocks, and ergonomics. Oh yeah, they replaced the dreadful airbox but not the dreadful chain adjuster.

ok well the warrior isn't all that bad, but i personally would never buy one. the raptor 350 on the other hand is a nice bike, it's lighter then the warrior handles better then the worrior and plus the 350 raptor looks like a raptor, and come on, you can't beat that unless it looked like a YFZ. but go with the raptor it's lighter probably quicker and handles much better from what i here
