Default Replacing the warrior ?

Well I bought a 95' warrior off sombody an have had nothing but problems out of it. Today was a great day to go out riding there was probally 8 of us out on the trail about 2 and a half hours into the trails when on this striaght away my bike starts shaking, then all of a sudden the wheel falls to the side Scared the hell outta me.

Anyway's the bolt came out of the balljoint an it broke so I am just tired of replacing things on it. I want to get another quad but this was my first quad and I am not that experienced on sport bike's. I use to ride a honda 200 three wheeler when I was young so I am just getting use to the shifting an stuff.

I was kind of interested in the kfx 400, or one of the other models of the 400 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img].

But my cusion was telling me that the kfx 400 is worse then his 400 ex about the front end comming up real easy. I just dont like his that much because of how easily the bike come's up an im not that good of a rider yet so I don't know what kind of quad to look into. I would rather have a sport bike then a utility just because that's what everyone else rides [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img].

So any suggestions on a replacement bike, keep in mind im a big guy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] so I guess it's silly for me to be on sport's quad's right? o'well i like em [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] ..anywho anybody who wants to respond it will be appriciated , thx.

uh, the 400ex/z/kfx doesn't wheelie uncontrollably in stock trim lol. yes they will come up easily if commanded but it's not like they come up uncontrollably whenever you hit the throttle. I woulnd't worry about that to much at all. You just got a beat up warrior, they are usually very reliable. i would suggest a z or kfx400 for some quality fun without intimidating power. They are nice bikes w/ decent susupension for the avid rider, and they have enough grunt to satisfy the average power jockey. I would suggest a raptor but you seem like that may intumidate you.

sweet thanks alot on the suggestion, ya looks like that warrior has had a rough life, an the raptor I think would be to much for me right now. heck the guy i bought the warrior off of got a raptor an he didnt like it to much for some reason but it's ok he has a new banshee, the white one with red frame it is sweet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img].
