A Piped,jetted,rev-boxed 300EX or Warrior. I pretty much leaning towards the 300EX (used). Ease of maintance is the kicker. Handling and up to date. I just want to know how a modded 300EX handles big hill climbs compared to the Warrior.

 

well the 300ex it shorter wheel base then the warrior but the warrior has the 60 or so ccs over the 300ex warrior better for taller people warrior has some grunt to it though i guess i can reallly be picky here cuz i have enver rode a 300ex...

 

The thing that sucks about the 300ex is the reverse shifter, kinda convoluted... That, and Trinity has a 425cc kit for the warrior[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

the wOrrior is a larger machine. I have rode both and would take the honda any day over the yami. The best thing I ever did was sell my wOrrior, compaired to my kawi the yami was falling apart before my eyes. the shifting on the honda is much better the reverse on the wOrrior dosent work very well but I think it was easer to get into revese then the honda. On the wOrrior it always seemed that I wasnt in the right gear so you shift alot when riding slow. the suspension is also better on the honda. the honda does seem smaller than the wOrrior. maybe I just had a bad machine my friends that had worriors had problems too but not as much as I did. oh I almost forgot the worrior climbs hills very well, never tried it with the honda though.

 

The warrior is a better hill machine but the 300ex beats it about every other way possible

 

except speed... wheelie power

 

When it comes strictly down to climbing hills (in the sand anyway) the bigger the motor the better...

 

The warrior will pull the hills better then the 300ex

 

The 300ex will go up some big hills its got some low end.

 

This really has nothing to do with the atv's your talking about but, I love to go hill climbing at the trap rock quarry right down the rode from me (friends dad owns it, its a big place) all of the hills I climb are trap rock but as long as you keep your rpm's up you can do some nasty climbing. Some get really scary. I am now almost fully recovered from cracking my collar bone and shoulder blade now so hope I will get out climbing again before it gets to hard out there.

I'd have to say the warrior would probably be better for climbing.
