ok thx for the info.. tell me about the cetrifugal clutch on the yamaha and the tranny on the honda..

 

I have been a fan of Honda all my life and drive a Rincon. At work we have a 450 Grizzly for surveying. It is the best machine in the 400 class hands down. The power and ride are amazing. Hard to believe it is only a 450.

 

I never had a single mechanical problem with the Warrior, except that the oil filter was full of large amounts of clutch debris every time I changed it.

Mechanical problems are fixable, but design porblems are not! All my problems with the Warrior were because of its poor design/ergonomics.....

The Warrior isn't especially heavy, but it handles heavy....no clumsy! The rear suspension linkage on that machine, has never been right. The seat is to low, and I had sore knees every after every time I rode it. It handles very poorly on tight technical trails. I could go on and on.....

In its day, it was ok compared to the limited competition. But in 99 when the 400EX came out, there just wasn't any reason to ever buy a Warrior anymore.....
