It depends on how much is done to it. Stock top speed is around 61mph.

Engine mods will not increase the top speed, gearing changes are the only thing that can do that. Coyote is right, stock is about 61 or so. Modded, it depends on what sprockets you put on it.

With 20" tires and 14t sprocket your top speed should be back up to stock

That is a very untrue statement. The warrior doesn't have enough HP to pull redline in 6th. More HP will increase top speed as well as acceleration. As with any vehicle made as long as there isn't an ECU on controlling the rpm's....

I don't know what you're talking about. I can get my Warrior right up to the rev limiter in 6th gear. Engine mods give more POWER, which can only get you up to your top speed quicker. To get more top speed you either have to make your engine rev higher, or change your gearing.

I didn't think that warriors had rev limiters.

trailbreaker, you make a statement I've seen several times here but it's definitely WRONG. Engine mods will result in higher top speed. Simply put your motor will not have the power to pull the same RPMs stock as properly modified. My Rappy pulls much higher top speed now than it ever did stock. It revs higher and has significantly more torque even though it's geared down. Yup, geared with a 12t countershaft sprocket and stock rear sprocket it's MUCH faster than ANY stock raptor could be. Gear it any way you want a stocker wont have the power to turn it fast enough. You have to overcome weight, rolling resistance, wind resistance and many other factors. YOU CAN increase top speed without a gearing change.

my warrior was jetted and filtered and i was constantly floating the valves in 6th so i knew higher gearing would be better so i geared up to a 15 tooth front countershaft sprocket. now it doesnt pull the rpm to float the valves but it comes really close. it now does 68.1 mph with this setup. i got proof i have a ticket from the police. and also had to pay $500 worth of fines, not to pretty. the ticket was for 1-speeding(68 in a 45) 2-riding illegally on a main road
3-under age 16 4-reckless endangerment to other drivers and pedestrians. the list goes on and on i wont be doing anything like that again.
