Ive just recently decided to sell my polaris and go to either yamaha or honda, ive heard only good things about the 300/400EX, but how do the Warrior 350's stack up, are they good for alot of riding, do they stay together well, hows the power?

 

there good for long rides... there air cooled tho so u gotta b carful about getting it to muddy and lettin it run hot... they are the kinda quad there u can ride it hard as hell with fairly littel maintanence... power can b better... but hey! it's only a 350!

 

The warrior is very fun on the trails. Just redo the intake, exhaust, and tires and it will do great. I've never had mine overheat in stock form, even in deep muds. After the intake and exhaust mods I placed an oil cooler on it, since it will increase the fuel and air consumption greatly. With the carb on there too I can match a slightly modded 400EX, that should tell you how much the engine can be improved. If you weigh in the upper 100's or over 200 go with a 400 though, if not the warrior will do you fine.

 

Go with the 400EX or even a Suzuki Z400 as both have several advantages over the warrior as the warrior is still based on the late 80's design.

 

I'm refering to when there's mud just CACKED on there... it'll overheat... especially if it's hot out

 

If you get a second hand warrior it will most likely have some mods all ready on it.

 

If I'm reading your sig correctly, you have the sport 400 with some mods done, which is a 2-stroke 400CC. I think you would be disappointed with the power of the Warrior compared to that. Even the 400EX and to a lesser degree the Z/KFX 400's will be a bit of a let down in regards to power. Handling on the other hand you'd enjoy the 400EX and Z/KFX 400's much more than the Warrior, I'm not sure how the Warrior handles in comparison to the sport 400, but it's probably a bit better considering it's weight advantage.

It's not a bad quad overall, and it's bulletproof if you keep your regular oil changes and such ..

If money isn't a big issue, I'd say get the Z/KFX 400 .. they're all the 400EX is and then some with liq. cooling and a better suspension setup.

 

Warrior is a good quad, we put ours through HELL back in the day. Chain adjusment sucks on it.

 

dependable, reliable.....HAH!! heck yes they are, check out my signature below and look at my pics. that babey is almost as old as me and it still out runs other things. stock motor and everything except aftermarket parts listed.

 

You should spend the extra money for extra cc's.Its worth it, unless you have a real fixed up warrior even blasters will beat you.
