Hello,
I am wondering if it is normal for a front end on a warrior to be loose when you give it gas, it seems like the front end spreads out as the front end gets weight back on it. What I mean is that spresds out and drops a couple inches when I let off of the gas. I have checked the a arms and nothing is loose. The reason I am asking this is that it is a 2000 warrior at a dealer in columbus and I can get the quad for 2600.00 total out the door. The plastic looks great and it has an fmf pipe.
Thanks

 

Cityboy,
Sounds like normal suspension movement through its geometry. Grab the front wheels and try to move it front to back and side to side, any obvious wear to ball joints, a-arm bushings and such should show itself.

 

The shocks are garbage...if it has the stockers, i'm sure they're worn out by now. with those goodies added on it i'm sure the owner was working that quad...i'm not saying they beat it...i'm just saying the stock shocks are nortorious for quick wear.

i've got a 2001 and i've replaced the fronts with works already. once the shocks heat up after 2 hours of aggressive trail riding you can literally feel their performance plummet.

2600. for a versatile piped machine? sounds like a good deal to me.
