I took my Warrior around an MX track about 2 weeks ago. That thing will wear you out. Trying to keep it from nose-diving and trying to stay up close to the front of the seat can be a challenge. I stayed with a stock Z-400 for about a lap and then he was gone. The most I got in the air was about 5 feet. I don't think it bottomed out, but it was very close. I only weigh 135 lbs. though. But the Warrior wasn't designed to be an MX machine.

 

I weigh 150 . It's jumps nice but the front is heavy and will nose dive if your not carefull. It lands soft to me.


That wheelie was comming up an almost vertical hill,that is ruted out. I love the warrior for climing !

I'm 6'4 and 250 My Warrior is very good on jumps it doesnt take much for me to keep it from nose diving. I was hitting 5ft of air and it barely if it didnt bottom out. I did mess with my preload though.

 

I jsut baught a 2003 Yamaha Warrior from Buck's Yamaha Suzuki in Valporaiso IN i paid 5,699 STOCK brand new it was actually the last 1 they had ( in stock)..... well neways there's no were to ride. only place i get to ride is a corn field... also this is my first quad(~!EVER!~) and i don't know shi i mean absolutly noting about maintanence but i do know some stuff..... ne kinda help would b nice.... also i ONLY weigh i mean ONLY weigh 175 and im 14 about 5' 10" and i was ALMOSST bottoming out when it was stock with the soft c/o's (c/o'=scoilover's-springs around the shocks) then when i took it in for first service( jsut got it back thursday) i had them stifen the suspension front/back it seems to help but it wants to nose dive more now and it's a harder landing but i seem to get more air even tho i jsut ride flat ground and the jumps r jsut old birms abotu a foot high from an old flat track that cousins of mine raced stuff on i only get prolly 3 feet up i've gone higher tho and it jsut seems fine... i'm thinking of getting some aftermarket parts and stuff i got a GOOD trail only 18 acres but soon it's gonan b about 300 IF NOT MORE! In NORTHERN Indiana abotu 50 miles from Chicago ill have this land( which is perfect for trail riding) July 21st ill also have pics and a website up and running hopefully in a month

 

speedy, the warrior fronts need to be tightened up. but the warrior is bullet proof i think its the 2nd most realiable quad out there ever made next to the honda fourtrax 300 cant go wrong with one pipe filter jet really wakes them up

 

lol wake it up hell it's stock and it pulls a wheelie when u shift 3rd to 4th!! lol wel lthat's a wake up call especially after u been partying all night relaly keeps u on your toes... it now sounds lie ka honda civic with it's muffler cut off ( no i ddin't cut the muffler off).

 

i love the warrior i think its a better trail riding quad then the raptor..ext the big bor ones but im not diss them i just thinik they are more for faster more race like stuff say sand dunes and what not. im comeing colse to geting a polaris tb 400 just cuz i love the take off and awasome power of two stroke. wile not shifting hard hiting take off like a snowmobile.
