Im new to yamaha and 4 wheelers in general. I have collected honda atc 3 wheelers for years so my new 96 warrior seems to have 1 extra wheel then im used too.

96 warrior 350. everything has either been totaly rebuilt, replaced or restored. Im loving it so far but have a few things that would make it better for me.

Im a larger guy and the rear end sits to low when i sit on. I need to ugprade the rear shock to something that is heavier and stiffer.

Next i know its a sport quad but would really like a bit more ground clearance. I got hung up on a hill 250ft up and realized it would be safer if i had a little more ground clearance

thanks everyone and thanks for adding me to the forum

 

I think you may be able to get a Banshee shock to work, but it is still 80's tech. Not sure if your shock is rebuild able. If it is, fresh gas/oil and a heavier spring would be a nice upgrade.

As for ground clearance your best bet is taller tires if you can stomach the gearing and handling changes. Also I highly recommend these: PRM-ATV Aluminum Bumpers, Skid Plates, Grab Bars, Six Pack Cooler Racks, Cargo Racks, Nerf Bars, and Heel Guards - YAMAHA WARRIOR YFM350 Z-PLATE SWINGARM SKID GUARD

I have switched to a different style skid, but keep a prm around still. They are tough and while I don't actively look to bottom out on the skid, I don't worry about prm letting me down. A little momentum and you slide over most trail junk. Go for the thickest aluminum they sell if you are an aggressive rider. The .250 is ALMOST indestructible.

 

Those prices seem pretty decent. i might go that route

 

I run this type now. Better ground clearance but no shock protection. There is a half skid for the rotor as well. I don't think you will find these for the Warrior though.
