sup i was just curious to no wat needs to be replaced on the warrior to fit rappy plastic? i no somebody on here was selling one. im biulding a show quad and stock fenders dont giv it justice!

 

If you mean real Raptor 350 plastic, it's cheaper to buy a real Raptor 350 than to turn a Warrior into one. You need: front/rear fenders, side pieces, nose piece, gas tank, airbox (mods necessary to fit Warrior carb, or buy a Raptor 350 carb), battery, headlights & brackets, wheelie bar, seat, some minor electrical modifications have to be done, and some brackets have to be welded to the frame. For best results a Raptor 350 frame is much easier to do the change over. I did mine (see pics) but it was a much bigger project than I ever anticipated, and cost way too much.

You can get some wanna-be Raptor plastic from Maier, but IMO they are ugly.

 

thanks, ur the one who had the 466 stroker right? so u think it would be better and cheaper just to buy a raptor 660, how was the power compared to the 660?

 

Definately better & cheaper to get a 660 than to build a Warrior. I had my Warrior engine almost maxxed out, and the 450's were still pulling away from me. My stock 660 would hang with them just as easy, and keep in mind there was much room for improvement and a stock engine is always more reliable than a highly modified one.

The 446 was very torquey, it would wheelie in 5th gear with a 15 tooth front sprocket, but the stock 660 still had more torque. And the Warrior starter had trouble cranking the 446, and it blew the head gasket out twice, so I worked on it more than I rode it. I never had any mechanical problems with the 660.

 

how long hav u had thee 660? ever change top end so far? 660s and 450 are expensive to change

 

I sold the 660 a few weeks ago, I bought it new in '03. But it was stolen from me and sat for 3 years, then I found it and got it back last year. The guy I sold it to just rebuilt the top end because it started smoking, other than that I never had any problems with it. Not sure about the 450, I think they do have the nikasil cylinder that is fairly expensive, but the 660 is not a nikasil. It only costs about $250 to rebuild a 660 if you do the work yourself.

 

oh ok, thats not much more than the warrior, i jus gota yz125 so ill prob sell em both and get a 660 then.
