You don't know anything about the Warrior do ya...
A stock Warrior weighs 85lbs. less then the Wolverine. Not only that, it has one more gear then the Wolverine. The only problem is that my Warrior is a little different then stock, my slighty mod. Warrior weighs like 365lbs. compared to 485lbs Wolverine. If I had a scanner I'd email you a picture of "MY" Warrior, but many, many times my gets mistaking for a Banshee. I'm sorry I didn't give you this info. sooner, but you were to busy trying to argue with me. If my info. is so wrong though, then this site (atving.com) sucks because I got it from here, Dirtwheels and 4-wheel Action magazines.=)



"can't beat me"

 

I posted this topic because I was curious about changing the tire size on my Warrior and what would happen to the performance...

thanks EVERYONE for ALL the input...

BUT if you guys want to have a pissing contest, do it over e-mail, no one else wants to read this stuff.

 

I have a Blaster and I changed the tire size by one inch and i couldn't feel any power difference . I went with holeshots and increased the rim size by 2 inches. This really helped in the side wall flex department and the bike less wobbly in corners. The hole shots are flat and have more surface aea touching the ground thus better hook up.

you better check your specs man. A stock warrior comes from factory doin 60-61 mph. With a simple aftermarket pipe, filter, and carb jet combo, you can easily hit 65-67 with much more low end power. Add a 12 tooth front sprocket ( 1 tooth less than stock), and you have a Warrior with more low end power than a lot of 4x4's and the same speed per gear as a stock machine. Trust me, this is exactly what I have done to my 99 special edition.

I hate to jump into these top speed type conversations but I have to say there is no way a warrior is doing anywhere near 60 MPH. And frankly even with a K&N and Exhaust mods your will be lucky to hit 60 Mph, maybe with bigger front sprocket. Look around the web for dyno runs and you will see that filters and exhaust mods do very little for peak horsepower on a 4 stroke. A stock warrior will do mid 50s Mph; I've tested mine enough times with a GPS, plus the magazines quote the same thing.

The reason these ridiculous posts bug me is that people read them and believe them. Then the next person quotes these speeds and of course adds a couple of Mph for his "special" warrior and next thing you know Warriors are running around doing 80 Mph. I love my Warrior but it just aint no rocket.

 

I'm not here to argue with you so don't take it the wrong way, but you won't believe this; When I first bought my Warrior, the dealer tried to convince me the 300EX did 70, Warrior 80, and Banshee 90. Now those top speeds are way off...
