As for help, the first thing I would do is goto www.google.com and do a search on places to ride at in your area. Just ride every chance you get and read these boards, eventually you will learn more than you thought existed about ATV's. If you have any specific concerns like "why does my friend on his 400Ex always outrun, jump and corner me?" then people will be glad to give you tips [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
400EX out run a stock Warrior? Are you kidding??? Haha. I am .. I was looking at some of the online Dyno charts today for fun and I was very surprised to see that the 400EX makes about 10hp more than the Warrior and is a lighter quad by all reports .. My Warrior is still heaps of fun

Speedy: get used to your machine before you start to add on to it ... and enjoy it!!

toodles!

They make goggles especially for people who wear glasses, look for labels that say OTG. That means "over the glasses"

You go dude, sounds to me like you just like to go out there have fun and tear it up. I wish I could go through the mud like you, I just can't seem to bring myself to get my baby that nasty.

I havent' tried it but I hear if you spray the underside of the plastics with non-stick cooking spray(Pam) the mud will fall right off. For performance mods I just put the Alba racing performance pipe kit on today and it is not for the guy who likes to ride stealth mode...it is frickin loud!!! Not bad loud good deep rumble loud. I won't know how much of a difference it makes in power (they claim 19% hp increase)until this weekend cuz i got nowhere to ride close to the house.

I'm with you HappaRap ... I just don't really care for getting down and dirty with the mud. Did it once this season .. the Warrior just isn't a clean mudder ... not like those huge 4x4 machines where you can go through just about anything and stay relatively clean .. It IS lots of fun though, but I'm more into the sand pits. There's lots around my grandmother's place, but that's 3 hours away by car. I found one small pit near my place, but it's really congested and almost kinda dangerous ...

Speedy .. if there's lots of rocks in the mud where you are I would definitely recommend skid plates .. I can't count the number of times I've high centered my ride .. and I've only had it since the end of may. Lots of rocks around my place .. really kinda sux.

Keep enjoying it dude!!
