hey everyone,

there is a guy by myself that is selling a 1998 yamaha warrior for $750 obo.is that a good price.everything seems good no dents or broken plastic.start fine.what does everyone think.what price do they usually sell for that year.


thanks

 

about $1500-1800 if it's in very good condition

 

Yeah $1500 in average condition. Check that the top part of the frame that holds the steering stem isnt bent and see how it goes into reverse. I both are fine it wasn't beaten on

 

Mine's a '97 and I paid $1200 for it 2 years ago AND it had a bent axle. I thought I got a deal, but maybe you found a better deal. Some other things to check for: broken upper engine mounts, worn out a-arm bushings and ball joints and tierod ends, worn out front wheel bearings, worn out swingarm bearings. Other than that these machines are almost bullettproof.

 

hey raptor450

i checked your pics out.and your 97 warrior looks brand new.and also it says you have a 446 kit on it.does that make a big differance.in top speed or power.

 

It's almost not a Warrior any more. I switched everything over to a '04 Raptor 350 frame and plastics. The 446 made a big difference in power - torque really. With a 14 tooth sprocket on the front, stock on the rear and 20" rear tires it will run about 70-72 mph. The 446 helped the top speed, but not much. Before I think it would run about 67 with the 366 kit. With the added power I could go to a 15 tooth front sprocket to gain a little top speed, but I like my gearing the way it is( I like to pull wheelies in 5th gear - try that on a stocker!). I'm getting it ready now to take it to the asphalt drag strip soon before the summer is over. I will post what it ran. I will probably be racing (losing) against some 450s, but I should be right there with them.

 

If it's only $750, you can replace the majority of those parts listed up above for a small amount of money and still be under the $2000 mark. You'd have a great machine that would have all new parts too.
