Im with you guys. I LOVE the boom of hipo quads (i probably will be buying a new one in the future A FOUR STROKE). But, i would like to see the sport market boom too. I would like to see more updates to these geriatric designs. I love my 300EX, but it definately needs updates. (Not brand bashing) but the warrior needs updates even worse as well as the blaster and banshee. The 400EX and 300EX could use updates. I would like to see a kick starter on them also.

 

When my starter goes out on my ex I will update it to a 250x sidecase, gear, and kicker. I would rather have kicksart anyday. The reverse doesn't procedure doesn't bother me at all.

 

bernbanger , if you get the 250X style kik then get the 250X style reverse lever , it makes it alot easier and the only reason the 300ex has a differnt one if cause there is not starter .

 

I didn't even know they were different. How do you operate the 250x procedure?

 

they arent much differnt just its not that pos 4 miles of linkage bar , its a short strong lever , i dont need to reach over for it i can just kik it with the back of my foot and go . i like it alot better then the 300ex one .

 

I don't know... I will agree that all quads need updates... especially the sport bikes.

What I don't know about is if the Warrior should be at the top of that list. Yeah the suspensions isn't great for MX, but it does everything and more that a trail rider needs. Not to mention the power is far superior then the 300EX.

My point is this... I know y'all weren't argueing or fighting about it, but just cause your type of riding is more in favor of the EX doesn't mean the Warrior needs updated worse.
Well... other than the airbox of course.

OH YEAH.....as far as most the fun being modding a quad... I totally disagree. Most the fun is taking a smaller machine (like a stock Warrior or 300EX) and learning how to ride well enough that you can hang w/ the modded ones and even the bigger boys. Of course if all you do is drag race and MX this ain't going to happen, but when it comes to trail riding... there is no better satisfaction than pulling up to some obstical... all your modded buddies going through it and saying that it is impossible on a stock Warrior/300EX and then pulling it off and watching their jaws bounce off the ground.
