I have a 99 warrior and frame mods aren't a big deal but what would i have to do to the motor if anything to make it able to withstand rough terrain.

I'm not sure about engine mods but suspension is key to hold such a large motor and get that power to the ground.

What would you want to change in the suspension other than shocks

Yea you will need a heavy duty axle to deal with the torque a beefier axle would be better than the stock one on your warrior.

Don't really have to worry about the bumps too much cause all the ones I've seen with sport bike engines were like a pistol point and shoot in a straight line.the look like they don't really hit the ground till you hit the brakes
