My 89 warrior
Hey guys check out my 1989 warrior I got for $400. These pix are before and after pictures. I have put $2,200 into this beast. a lot of blood, sweet and tears has gone into this project.
Let me know what you guys think. Pictures are in my page.

not bad. i used to have a red/white '88 model. lot of good memories on that bike...
warriors are tough, even though they are not the best handling bikes out there and are front end heavy. in 1990, yamaha revised this and moved the engine back in the frame and lights up, and did something to the carb to help prevent it from sputtering off of jumps, and changed the shocks....i dont think it worked though b/c my cousin had a 90 model and when i jumped it, it still sputtered. oh well, enough down memory lane....
you still have the stock cam in it? since you did the other mods, you might as well change it and the carb (jet it properly, of course) and a different air filter. you'd have a much peppier machine that just may surprise some people...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
good job and not entirely too bad for $400 (well $2200 now). only thing is, we can get 2000 and up models here for about that $2200 range... but,, hey its kinda fun to restore something.

Trust me you will not find a warrior that looks like my warrior. It dont even really look like a warrior any more. its crazy looking. It came out really nice. I love it! I will have better pictures of it up this weekend. Thanks for all the feed back guys!
