I am contemplating buying a Warrior, the motor is in execellent shape ( a family member owns it and I know it has been excellently taken care of ) , but my questions is, what sort of big bore kits are available and what power increases are we talking about? i would like to know many of the pro's & con's . any info is helpful! Thanks!

 

well is there?? also was the warrior ever raced in gncc?

 

Been there spent that $$$$$

Leave it stock........yes you can big bore it, but its much more cost effective to just leave the warrior stock and save your money for a newer more hi-tech machine.

 

well i found a site ill have to look for it again... but there r i think 365 390 and 430 kits i want the 365 for my warrior but my friend has an 01 430 warrior he races it's fast... i raced a yfz450 and beat him and that was like within first 5 mins of EVER riding it.. but the 450 was just piped no lid n it was only a day old so yea... but it's a good kit

 

it beat the yfz450?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

No way a big bore warrior would of beat (repeatedly) a YZ450. Sure maybe he won 1 race due to a sneaky hole shot or the other guy missed a shift, but no way it would consistantly beat a YZ450, even if the Warrior rider only weighed 50 pounds.

My 400cc Warrior would hold its own against a 400ex, but remember, the Warrior is only a 2 valve head, and even when built to the max only puts out 28-30 horsepower. I've seen several YZ450 dyno charts with simple silencer, cam and jetting mods getting 52-55 horsepower.

My built stroker Warrior engine also only lasted 2 years before it threw the rod and totalling the whole engine case. A high strung motor just doesn't last as long.
