A used Quad Sales Person has told me that the Warrior has not been changed since it's first year.
Can anyone tell me the changes that have been made to the Warrior over the year models to date?

therock

 

the front ends are different. i know that.the headlights have changed locations and this makes the front plastics different as well. also, my 88 has a pull start backup. they don't now. bad move by yamaha i think.

 

in 1990 they changed the rear suspension and linkage. also changed bearing carrier.

 

VERY LITTLE, with the exception of front and rear suspenion mecs. headlights and pull starter.

My friend has a '91, rode superhard and never rebuilt. He is just now having to replace bearings, steering knuckles and things like that. that mantinance didn't start until he got a Realter tire & wheel package (a lotta bite for an old quad). They are great quads and didn't require a lot of change. NOT THAT I WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE AN UPGRADE IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE!!

TAKE NOTE YAMAHA!!!!

 

I recently bought a 98 warrior and set it next to my 89, and externally, very little change. It's all in who is trying to sell you what. A Yamaha dealer said they had, and still do have, the best design so why change. the Honda dealer said they were oudated. Imagime that.

 

In 89 they made them shorter. For some reason though the newer ones dont run as good as the old ones.
