Not at all. I ride some of the roughest trails you'll ever see a 2wd on. I don't know why anybody would need such low gearing, i've towed a 600lb suzuki eiger about 3 miles through rough mountainous terrain with a 220 lb rider on the eiger, and myself weighing 200 lbs, and the high gearing was just fine. That's probably about 1,500 lbs getting pulled around by a 350cc. I had to use the clutch a little more than normal to get it rolling, but how often does the average rider come across this situation? I guarantee you most modern sport machines wouldn't have been able to do this because they just don't have the torque a warrior has. There are situations where lower gearing will help your acceleration, like maybe when a machine is geared too high from the factory or signifigantly taller tires are added. But these are close ratio transmissions, it's not like a car where 1st gear will wind out around 40 mph and you stay in the gear for more than just a couple seconds.

I've got a full body skid and Mud Lite XL's on the rear. Stock fronts, but looking at putting Razr 2's up there.

Thats what I have heard. When I bought it the Mud Lite's were already on the rear, and I have been nothing short of astounded by the quality of those tires. I am yet to get stuck, and I have been through some nasty stuff. They also held up really well during the summer months, which was of surprise to me.

Yeah, the meaty mud tires work pretty well on warriors, better than most other sports quads. I have some pretty gnarly mud tires on the back of mine also, interco swamplites, and I love how much traction they give, although sometimes it's so much that I can't get the back end to slide around when I want it to. But on the good side, they hook up so well that in a wet grassy field I still have enough bite to come out of a turn doing a 1-wheel wheelie.

Thats what I love about the ML's, I can still throw that thing sideways anytime I please; however the fact I weigh 225 may influence that as well, a little bit of extra weight to shift [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] . Those ML's do amazing in wet grass, all stock as I am now I've got enough bite that the front wheels come up after every shift (until 5th, in which they finally don't)

Also, front shocks, Banshee shocks will make how much of a difference? That is definately something I also want to replace in the near future, and I want to go mid-level I believe. Something decent, but the stock ones don't hurt me so I just want to smooth it out some

The banshee shocks are somewhere between stock and works shocks. They will ride about as smooth as the works shocks.

So, where can I find one of these WebCams to purchase, and what valve springs would compliment it well?
