I believe most people will agree with me when I say that a warrior is not the best beginning bike to mod out. Although it has been done before (XR650 in a warrior for one), consideration needs to be given on what the bike will be used for. A warrior's motor is most definitely the heavy part of the machine, but even with removing some weight the suspension and handling is not very good, most say they plain suck. I have nothing against the warrior, but in my opinion I would rather see you with a 300EX, 400EX, 250R, or even a Blaster frame to start with over a warrior. If you really like your warrior then dont let anyone tell you differently and go for it. I'm sure there will be quite a bit of work, but it can be done if you have the desire to do it.Bubba

You can put just about any motorcycle engine in a warrior. I have a friend that is on his second motor in a warrior and they work out just fine. I dont know if its better than a blaster frame but if you have a good welder on hand you can do anything to a warrior.

You can probably sell your warrior and get an older banshee for the price and time it would take to try to transplant an engine into your warrior.
