yea i was thinking that but its not like i have the money laying around or in the bank thats why id have to finance it and if i did i would prolly be barely paying it off each month and prolly have like maybe $100 left over each month if i got the new rappy..and if i got the warrior it would have to last me at leastly 2-3 months before i could save up enough money to actually do anything realli to it so idk if it would last that thats why im kinda iffy on buying it cause it was pretty beat down you can tell by the body on it

 

I do not care what anyone says. warriors are good bikes. I got one new in 87 and I still have it. Granted it has alot of changes done to it but it is still fun to ride. Warriors were at one time (maybe still are) the all time best selling quad. My 87 warrior lasted 17 years being bone stock with just maintenace done every year. A 2000 warrior here in SoCal with mods would run a cool 3000 any day of the week. In fact, my buddy just sold his wifes 98 for 3200 (super super clean tho). My 2 cents, if you on a budget, go with the warrior, super reliable, easy to work on, and way fun to ride, easy to throw around and good jumpers too.

 

if it has rust in the corners on the frame... i wouldn't buy it.. especially if YOU plan or jumping it..

Aright, Dont listen to what this guy is saying. He clearly dosent know what he is talking about for the most part. The only thing he is correct about is the reliability in witch if you maintain them they will last. They are now one of the least popular quads tho and they are too heavy and dont have good suspension for the bigger jumps but they are ok for smaller jumps. They feel like a boat and are hard to handle around tight trails even compard to the raptor 660 witch is not a real good handler it's self. They are also very under powered for being a 350. 300EX will beat them any day of the week and so will most the utility quads out there. As far as modifying them it is not worth you're money. You will waste thousands and have a quad that will barly beat a piped 400EX. Also as for the priceing he lives in California witch is the most priceist state for ATV (and just about everything elce).

 

yea idk what to do cause we went to the dealer down the road and he had a 2002 warrior black and white in better condition not great but good for $2500 with a 30 day warranty and i think it was stock im not sure the pipe had a small hole in the back and it looked like a grenade on the side acually so idk if thats stock or not lol and we went to see a 04 trailblazer 250 thats in good condition and they want $2500 or best on that does anyone kno anything bout them? and does that warrior sound good or shoudl i just wait or what? can anyone help me please? lol thankss

 

i REALLI REALLI wish i could find a 99-04 400ex for around $2500 cause i REALLI want one of those like wicked badd but i cant find any around here and my dad dont wanna buy from ebay and get scammed or anything and not be able to ride itt...at leastly a 300ex i would like but there arnt any for sale around here used for aroud 2500$

 

Who do you ride with? I ride with a few utility quads and they all want to take turns on my warrior cause its fast! Its faster than theirs and more fun to jump. Like others have said it's very reliable and I find it a lot of fun. Yes its old technology and not as fast as other sport quads, but it does me well for the mixed trail riding I do.
Keep on saving your money if you want to hold out for a 400, if not I think the warrior is a good start for you.

 

yea my cuzin warrior hes selling is absolutely mint. heres some pics



gots some mods too. 2800 isnt bad right?

 

yea i want to but i dont want to wait for liek 3 more montsh lol i havnt ridden since begining of june when my 200 honda brokee and ive got a huge urge to ride lol and sport quads arnt big around here realli and thats what i want..just the engines a lil dirty and the swingarms a little dirty too and the plastics are scratched a lil but thats on any used quad and the clutch is hard to pull in when it wasnt on so how can i fix that?? i didnt get to start it or drive it yet so idk how it runs prolly realli good if the dealers selling it and it comes with a 30 day warranty to so thtas good..i ride with a modded blasterr and a XR100 and a recon..so would i be able to keep up with those? id prolly modd it like pipe tires filter and skid plates and jett firstt but how much would it cost me to get it too look in realli good condition do u think?? and how fast can they get if u just pipe them and filter and jet and that? also i havnt rode clutch realli in like 3 years so id be kinda gettin used to it again..i mean i can cause when i test rode the used warrior i mentioned earlier i did just fine i onty stalled it like twice but got the hang of it again and i only rode it in like 2nd gear cause i didnt have much room to open it up so i guess you could say im kinda learning clutch again so would the warrior be a good one to learn on? im sorry for having so many questions guys but i just want to make sure i get something that will last a long time and run good and be decently fast and quick (i kno its not a speed demon but i dont want a sloww pokeyy quad i want one with decent speed and pretty quick) it woudl be compared to my honda 200 cause thats what im comin off from so how would it be compared to that? lol sorry again for so many questions but thanks alot guys
