My son, 13 years old, rides a yamaha warrior he is a pretty skilled rider.. he wants to get some after market parts for it. i dont know if a blaster will be just as fast or faster than the warrior. i know there are tons of aftermarket parts for blaster and frankly it be safer if he rode a blaster so the question is shuld i keep and upgrade the warrior or sell the warrior and get a blaster upgrade it?

 

Well you have the warrior so id keep it but the blaster is a lot smaller and can be made faster but its not as durable

 

I would keep the Warrior. In my opinion the Blaster is a step down. The Blaster is not as powerful or torquey as the Warrior and the suspensions on the Blasters suck even worse than the Warrior suspensions do. A stock Blaster will run about 55 mph top speed, same as a Warrior. A 400EX would be a better option than a Blaster or modding the Warrior. I'm not sure why you say a Blaster is safer than a Warrior?

 

ok thanks i only sed it was safer because its smallar andd less likely to seriously injure if rolled or fliped

 

Yeah ok but what if the blaster is bored out

 

It would take a big bore kit to make any noticeable power on the Blaster. You wouldn't gain much from just boring it over a few thousandths. But that still will have no effect on the terrible suspension or the horrible brakes (pre-'03). My buddy had a '03 Blaster that I would ride sometimes and it had a shaved head, Vito's degree key, Toomey pipe, jetted, air filter, and a reed spacer, most of which was supposed to help with bottom end torque, but it still barely had enough torque to get me up a steep creek bank. Plus the suspension felt like that on a lawnmower. Granted I am 6'-1" tall and 220 lbs, but the Warriors that I have owned never failed to carry my big self through anything, the brakes are better, and the suspension is better. Plus you don't have to buy that expensive 2 cycle oil for the Warrior - just pull up to the pump and fill-er-up!

 

Both blaster and warrior are unique models and contribute same too... you should upgrade and ride both !

 

My blaster is bored .60 over, it has some get up and go, but its a bit scarey with terrible brakes and suspension. Still not that fast though.

I say the 400ex is good, but i had better luck on my 300ex.
Would be worth finding and test riding a few of each on craigslist.

Cant speak for the warrior though..

 

I've got a Blaster that's bored 60 over as well....

Mine is quite peppy. I also put slightly smaller tires on it (Though wider), and a Used FMF gold series pipe and Can...... Woke it up BIG TIME.... nothing else is modified as far as performance mods, and I have more than I can handle in the Trails..... It's fun, but it's also a lot more work than the 4 stroke Warrior is..... The torque is all in that Screaming Power band.....

My machine runs about top end of 50-53 MPh.... if that aint fast enough, then maybe another 4 wheeler is a better choice. 50 is plenty fast for a trail riding machine I think....

 

warrior all the way i have one and its a awesome quad..but..if you wanna take care of a two stroke and less power then the warrior..then yeah go for the blaster !
