hey guys this is my first post here on these forums. my name is Leo and im from Miami Florida. i got my first ATV last thursday, its a 2001 Yamaha Warrior 350
picked it up for 1000
pretty good condition. need new front tires, theyre rather bald. clutch is slipping, gonna replace it this friday with a buddy. and its pretty dirty. runs great besides the clutch.
will hopefully go on my first trail this sunday with a bunch of friends. anyone else here in miami?

 

hey anyone know what oil to use for this bike? i went to a motorcycle shop and they couldnt look it up. and im changing the oil on friday along with the clutch and i dont know what oil to pick up. thanks for the help in advance

 

I use royal purpe. but u will run in to a lot of problem but not big there great trail bikes mine ran great when i got it in 07 but now mine not running now but will be soon

 

what i meant what what grade oil should i use? 10w-30
15-40 etc?
thanks for the input tho

 

i use 10/40 motorcyle oil in mine. DO not use car motor oil. make sure its for motorcyles. auto parts should have this, or your yamaha dealer. you should change the oil filter as well

 

Yamaha has a chart on their website under Warrior owner's manual for oil--but just run 10w30 or 10w40 MOTORCYCLE oil. You have to run a oil designed for wet clutches.

 

I run 20w50 in the summer and 10w30 or 40 in the winter. It doesnt have to be a yamaha or honda brand oil either. Your just paying for the name. As long as the rating are the same you will be ok. I have been doing this for over 3 years.

 

in miami, you can run 10w40 yamalube and be fine. if you use anything other than yamalube, be sure it meets or exceeds the JASCO requirement for proper operation of wet clutch bikes/atvs. anything else will make the clutch slip and burn up the brand new one your talking about replacing.

and if you want some kickass tires, get the Carlisle Mud Wolf tires. freaking superb tire. read the reviews on the tire at the following link.

You wouldnt want them tires on a sport quad. Get some holeshots. If you can sacrafice some ground clearance get 20s on the back and 14 or 15 front sproket.

 

thanks for the input. im picking up the lube tomorrow. thanks for the input everyone.
the tires i might get later this month. i really wont be going mudding as much as i will be trailing through dry land according to what my buddies tell me. ill definetly look into the tires later this week and see how much they cost locally. both the holeshots and the carlisle mud wolf ones.
