I owned an 88 warrior for a few years and rode it at the local tracks motocrossing an dhad a similar problem. My problem turned out yo be a loose connection on the reverse lever. I can't remember what color the wires were but I do recall lookig at that wire several times thinking it was attached when it really wasn't. It might have been broke inside the coating or something. Good luck---joe

 

cb, when you had a loose reverse wire, did you light work? My light works and sometimes if i play with the reverse lever it will turn over. Tomorrow morning i will check that. Thank You!
